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.

709 S. W. 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

Growing children need the protein, vitamins and
minerals provided by eggs for building and main
taining strong, healthy bodies. Two eggs contain
over 18 of the daily requirement of protein, im
portant quantities of calcium, vitamin A, Bi, B2,
D, plus the minerals, iron and phosphorus. Local

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.
