Today in Salem
I It lakes more than a Utile
old rain storm like Sunday's to
: stop tried and true Oregonlans.
Some 50 Salem golfers braved
the elements to get in their first
rounds in the annual Salem Elks
tournament. Presumably the na
tives with the webfeet and moss
on their backs stood up under the
rain and wind to win their rounds
while the comparative newcomers
of the past 15 years or so found
the going a bit rough without their
waterwings and swim fins.
At McMinnville, the Jaycees
will be host for the state Tccn
Age Road-E-0 driving contest
. and were to take movies of the
. site of the contest Sunday for a
Portland TV station. Since the
r film had to be In the mail Mon
day, a group of potential Holly
wnndltcs braved the deluge and
' came up with the film needed
. and then went home to prepare
lor me onset of double pneu
monia.
And at Eugene, the annual White
Water Boat Parade was held on
mv mi-ieiiie ruver aespue me
fact that more water was. coming
down from above than was being
whipped over the sides of the small
boats in the rough and rugged
Waters. One group of skindivers
floated and swam the 22 miles
down river with the aid of inner
tubes.
As If It didn't rain enough in
tlnnm It tl cam am f
.city and from North Bend had
a barrel-roll fight, using high
: pressure hoses to attempt to
force a barrel across the oppon-
ent's goal line. They got only
lightly wetter than the specta
tors. Bacic in aaiem a lew natives
braved the elements to travel the
route of the annual Blossom Day
tour despite the fact that most of
the flowers were knocked to earth
by the wind and rain.
Ana a number of tnc Salem
1 army reservists found it a bit
' damp as they spent Sunday work
' lag tactical field artillery prob-
:' lems at Camp Adair near Cor-
: vallls.
After some seven hours of "
connaissance, selection and occu
pation oi positions," all tne 50-
some members of the 929th Field
Artillery battalion present were
wondering what it would be like
to have a dry stitch of clothing
on again all save Capt. Jim
Spetz, that is. He had spent the
day under the protective canvas
cover of the fire direction center
truck.
Somehow It didn't seem right
that Jim should miss all the
pleasure of nature's free shower
so at day's end Major Tom Bays
and Capt. Lloyd Hammel uncere
moniously pulled the comfortable
Spetz from the truck and dumped
i size mua puddle.
UF Officials to Attend Regional Meet

OSEA View Told
Need to strengthen civil service
and to increase state salaries was
stressed by Jay Blair Tuesday in
a talk to Capitol Chapter of the
Oregon State Employes Assn.
"We are not asking a cheap pro
gram. We are asking adequate
salaries in order to bring state
salaries in line with the going
rates for comparable work in oth
er state agencies ana m private
Industry," Blair declared.
He said a stable employment
program with sufficient pay to at
tract career service employes is
imperative if costly turnover is to
be curbed.

Christ's Temptation
Meditation Today
2,000 feet out of the Jordan River
valley.
The peak is called the "Mount
of Temptation" by those who live
here. From its summit you can t
see all the world, but the moun
tain offers a glimpse of two in
dependent countries, Jordan and
Israel, and enough of a view to
be tempting.
Fasted In Cave
It is generally agreed that
the temptation of Christ by Satan
occurred immediately after His
baptism, when He was "led by
the spirit Into the- wilderness"
for a fast of 40 days. Local tra
ditions say He spent this time in
a limestone cave on the side of
the Mount of Temptation.
The mountain stands at the edge
of a mountain range not far from
the site of the sacred baptism in
the Jordan River. The mountain
overlooks Jericho but is so bar
ren and uninviting that a person
seeking solitude will find this an
ideal place for meditation even
today.
A road from Jericho halts at
the foot of the Mount of Tempta
tion. The climb to the top is made
on foot. A rocky footpath zig
zags up the side of the conical
shaped peak.
Halfway up, built into the rock,
hangs a Greek Orthodox Monas
tery. The monastery almost
blends with its rock foundations
except for the blue-domed bell
towers that stand out from the
cliff,
Visitors are welcomed hero by
five monks who spend their lives
working and praying. These
monks live off the produce of their
own farm down in the Jordan val
ley.
The rock of the mountain forms
one wall and most of the ceiling
of the long, narrow monastery.
Underneath a dome at one end
of the building is a chapel and
the grotto where Christ is be
lieved to have lived during His

40-day fast and where He was
tempted the first time. A small,
stone-hewn altar between two tall
brass candlesticks marks the ex
act spot where Satan taunted tha
famished Christ to turn stones into
bread.
A heavy Iron gate opens through -
a brick wall to allow passage out
of the monastery and on up the
mountain toward the . summit.
where Christ was tempted for the
second time. The monastery
guards the approach to the top,
since it stands astride the only
path to the summit.
Although the Mount of Tempt
ation is shaped like an inverted
cone, its peak flattens out as if 1
nature had prepared a small plat
form for the Biblical drama be
tween Christ and Satan. Tha
foundations of a modern Orthodox
church -are here among the debris
of ruined medieval chapels. Work
has stopped on the modern church
because of shortage of funds.
' Continually Guarded
In the solitude of this site a -
lone guard sits night and day.
From this summit can be seen
the misty mountains across tha
Jordan River the mountains of
Moab to the north and Edom to
the south. Directly beneath the
mountain lies the Jordan plain,
green with irrigated cultivation
around Jericho and in a few iso
lated spots but otherwise desert.
The distant peaks of the hills
of Galilee may be glimpsed in the
northwest. Directly west the tips
of the tallest church spires of
Jerusalem may be seen.
It was Irom this summit that
Satan whispered to Christ, "If
Thou therefore shalt worship me,
all shall be Thine." And it was
here that Christ replied: "Get
thee behind me, Satan: for It is
written, thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and Him only shalr
thou serve."

Bethany.
