Wind-Blown
Ashland - Rain - soaked,
wind-blown Soroptimists from
all parts' of the state braved
Oregon's storm to attend a
week end district meeting in
Ashland. The official register
showed 84 members roprc-
senting 15 clubs; 36 of those
attending were members of
, the Ashland hostess group.
( Klamath Falls and Brookings
. members assisted in the two
day conference entertainment.
Highlight of the District 2
meeting was an address at
the Sunday morning break-
;. fast by Mrs. Lily E. Quarn
bcrg, past president of Sorop
timist Federation of the
Americas, Inc.. and represen
tative on the Soroptimist In
ternational association gov
erning body. Her subject
. stemmed from a recent state-
ment of U.N. Secretary U.
Thant, "We Have Passed the
. Time."
In a fact-filled half-hour.
the club officer from Van.
couvcr. Wash., called upon
Soroptimists to "strike a
spark for deeper internation'
" al understanding and to ac
cept responsibility for citizen
ship." Briefly touching upon a re
cent European visit while
attending the SIA board
meeting in Helsinki, Finland,
Mrs. Qarnbcrg brought vivid
pictures of conditions exist
ing in Poland, in Germany,
and behind the Iron Curtain

She described the evidences
of Nazi atrocities in Warsaw
and quoted a guide who de
clared, while showing a war
time cemetery in Helsinki,
The Soviets may take our
country one day but they
will never lake the hearts of
our people."
She was in East Berlin at
the time of greatest tension
last August and was forced
to walk across No Man's
Land carrying her luggage.
All of the women in her
party had to retrace their
steps many times to trans
port all of their traveling
bags.
Mrs. Quarnbcrg told of
problems in Latin America
where educational needs arc
paramount and whore Sorop
timists have great opportuni
ties. She touched upon Spain,
saying that she had to revise
some of her preconceived
ideas. Although economic
conditions were not good, she
fell no atmosphere of dicla-
lnrsnip. one nopes lo visu
Africa lo learn of their needs
as nicy become a part oi ine
worlds community of
tions.
The world-lraveling club
officer made a strong plea
for a closer study of internal
problems as they affect
America and her position In
world affairs. She urged
members to strive for the
Soroptimist goals of good
citizenship and high ethical
standards in business and
political life. She also urged
a continued effort toward the
advancement of the status of
women; the study of trends
and evaluation of changing
policies; -the support of this
country's principles and
ideals; endorsement of the
United Nations as the chief
instrument for maintenance
of world peace; aid to new
nations; assistance to refu
gees, and growing cooperation
with Soroptimist sister clubs
as a means toward better in
ternational understanding.
"We have passed the time
for superficial thinking," de
clared the speaker. "We must
accept the challenge of per
sonal and group leadership
and lake a new look at our
selves, as together we seek
new patterns that will insure
peace."
