TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 17. 133? Hotel Fund Drive Planned in Portland Portland IP Forty-five bus inessmen, representing the core of Portland s financial commun ity, Wednesday voted unani mously to launch a $3 million fund raising drive to start con struction on an $11 million Hil ton hotel here. C. B. Stephenson, president of the First National Bank, presid ed over the meeting which voted to hire the Hockenbury system to conduct the fund drive. Stephenson said the hotel, which has been proposed for the heart of the downtown area, would be more a civic enterprise than an investment. The need for a downtown convention facility has been obvious, he said. The financing plan' would in clude $3 million from local in terest, $2 million from the Hil ton Corporation, and $6 million through mortgages. Construction of a Sheraton hotel is due to start this fall in the Lloyd center on the east side of the Willamette river in Portland.

Salmon at Broadway Portland, Oregon said his blacK beard is often a shock to Americans. One time near Christmas he was mobbed by children who thought he was Santa Claus. . A boy on a bus, another time, kept staring at him.despite ef forts of the tot's mother to turn his head away. But the boy just couldn't resist looking. Finally he whispered to his mother, "Mom, there's Jesus." Wassil said he stopped in a drugstore in one town and ordered a tube of toothpaste. The clerk asked if he also want ed a toothbrush. "I already had a toothbrush but I didn't want to appear un civilized so I bought one any way. I was trying to think what else would go witli toothpaste when the girl mude a suggestion I had to turn down. She asked if I needed any razor blades," Was sil laughed. Americans Fascinating Wassil said he finds Ameri cans fascinating and feels he has about as many adopted rela tives here &' in his own country. The speaker said he believes the people of the United States are working for a better under standing between the entire East and West. He expressed the opinion that there are constructive forces at work which do not make the headlines. "It is the unhappy cases which are splashed in the headlines," he said, "while the happy incidents are not men tioned." While the Western world is prone to look on Christianity as western thinking, Wassil pointed out that all of the major reli gions and creeds had their be ginnings in the Eastern world. Beginnings of Race When we get down to the fundamentals of the beginnings of the human race, the historical origin of all was the same as that of the people of India, Wassil said. He mentioned that there is a great awakening of new life in East Asia with many countries Si!? 4 -ts - f 1 B - r M r ; 4i iff nS?w m 4- best for balanced nutrition Growing children need the protein, vitamins and minerals provided by eggs for building and main taining strong, healthy bodies.

They're Guaranteed FRESH in Asia and Africa regaining their independence. This, he added, has caused the living standards to rise. Attention should be focused on men who try to help their fellowmen, Wassil said. The posi tive, constructive forces, are more forceful than the negative, unconstructive ones. Speaking of Islam religion, the speaker stressed that the fol lowers are taught to practice and have faith in one religion yet study other religions objec tively. Moslems, he added, are taught that Jews and Christians are fellow brothers. Human Friendship "Human friendship can not be bought," he explained. "That which can will not last. The deepest link between men is a common pnilosopny, a common background." "Nature has a habit of shock ing us into realization of facts we have not noticed otherwise, he continued. "More and more countries are waking to the fact that they have to have an alli ance between spiritual relations Success of the alliance depends on the extent the Christian peo ple are in establishing an out look on life that the Moslems can accept in their own way Founders of India's culture and philosophy moved to west ern Europe and in looking for a shortcut home discovered Amer ica, the speaker said. The found ers of India's culture and philo sophy are the same. Art of Relaxation Touching briefly on Yoga thought and practice, Wassil said it is the art of relaxation and self realization. "Life is not a question that can simply be ended with an an swer," he said. "People go through life liking and dis liking," he said. "This builds up tensions." "How can we hear the music of the soul if our ears are filled with the noises of the world!" "Silence," he said, "is the ulti mate quality." Prior to corning to the United States, Wassil visited with., a yogi in a cave in the Himalayas, a 148-year-old. man with whom he discussed the United States. Iniruitive Grasp "He had an intuitive grasp of what the United States was like, although he had never been here," Wassil said. "I read the declaration of independence to him, and he told me: 'My son, those words were written by the hand of God. The highest spirit ual achievement of man will be achieved in that country.' " The speaker, who is technical consultant on eastern culture and civilization to Hollywood motion picture studios, had a few remarks in a lighter vein on Hollywood and its people. "In the East," he related, "I learned the proper address on meeting was 'How are you' but in Hollywood I soon learned the correct method of approach was 'Hy, Babe!'." The speaker was introduced by Richard Gray, club president. Earlier in the evening new members were also introduced.
