EDITORIALS CAUSE FOR ALARM — AND HOPE The statistics are alarming. Over one hundred million children in the developing world suffer from malnutrition. In some of the poorest countries, more than twenty-five percent will die before age five. A hundred thousand children will go blind this year due to Vitamin A deficiency. Most of these tragedies are concentrated in other areas of the world. Oceans, time zones and language barriers separate us. We are a quantum leap apart in lifestyles and standards of living. In a land of digital watches the reality of a child starving to death is often lost. It is easy to forget such conditions even exist. On Halloween, however, these problems will be brought to our doorsteps, as children Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and in the process take a collective tug at America's conscience. For with them come echoes of the poverty and disease that plague developing countries. Perhaps in the face of these youngsters' concern, we will catch a glimpse of the suffering behind the statistics - the pain, the sunken eyes of a hungry child. The United Nations Children's Fund operates in one hundred countries - primarily in Latin America. Africa and Asia. UNICEF is fighting the illiteracy, famine and drought that thrive despite modern technology. Given our increasingly dependent world, these problems belong to all nations. How we solve them may well determine the future of our planet. The support we give UNICEF through the activities in our own community can help to meet that challenge. Editor, The Journal: Dear Senator Packwood: In vour speach to the National Abortion Federation you said two things that should be challenged and some new light shed on them. You said that the Right to Lifers were trying to impose their morality on someone else. You were probably right on this issue, after all, they do regard abortion as the destruction of human life. If my memory serves me correctly you voted to make it a federal offense to destroy an eagle’s nest. Don't you have as much regard for human life as you do for the life of an eagle? You also said that the Right to Lifers were descrimi nating against the poor. You are wrong on this point. They are just tired of paying the bill, or the thought of paying the bills for those that go a whoring around. Yours truly. /s/D. A. Erickson 1131 S.W. 6th Ave., Ontario. Oregon 97914 Editor. The Journal: Comments of a Pavement Plato: The American people feel blue. They have the taste of ashes in their mouths. The whole nation is in the dumps. There is a sickness in our souls. Who can remember a time when everybody felt so bad about so many things and so few people had any idea of a remedy that would make us feel better. We are cut up and divided more ways than an apple pie in a cheap boarding house. We are like a dazed pedestrian caught on a super highway, wondering from which direction he may be hit next. Here we are the richest and supposedly the most powerful land on earth, but we are as uneasy as the dwellers in a wooden castle whose pillars are riddled by termites. Power? What po wer? Internationally, many nations are looking down their noses at us. Domestically, our plight offers small cheer. One month we are scared to death that the steps we take to combat it will lead us into a major depression. Money won’t buy what it used to * and neither will credit. As a matter of fact, credit is getting almost as hard for the average man to find as money. The rich are worried about the predatory poor, and the poor keep pressing the 1 11 .1 I ’ government tor more welfare and a fairer shake. As for the middle class, it is convinced it is being squeezed out of existence. We are immersed in a bath of violence There is so much crime that we put up with it. Our college sons and daugh ters. the hope of tomorrow , are the despair of today. They don't know what they stand for - only what they are against. Our police threa ten to strike, and our school teachers do. Parents try to dull their woes with martinis; the younger generation turns to a newer Plato • marijuana. Young couples complain they can’t mortage their future by paying the interest charges on a housing short age About all we can point to with pride are a few souvenir rocks brought back from a couple of round trips to the moor. • and if you look up at the stars at night the man in the moon seems to be laughing at us for our labor. Jean Evans, Parma. Editor, The Journal. Knowledge of the Treaties The majority of the Ame rican people are opposed to the Panama Canal treaties. In fact many opponents are emotionally involved. It is my contention that these charged opinions have developed from a lack of knowledge about the treaties. I’m the first to admit that I know too little about this issue. Why, because as Senator Church has said; the administration has failed in its responsi bility to inform the public. I have not read the treaties, have you? My opinion has been formed in the next most logical manner. We live in a representative democracy. One in which we elect the experts and these knowledgeable and compet ent people act in such a way as to benefit the U.S. to the best of their ability. 1 have formed my opinion in support of the treaties based on the informed opinions of the president of the United States, the top military men in the country (joint chiefs), former republi can President Ford, former Secretary of State Kissinger, Secretary of State Brown, and believe it or not, staunch defender of the conservative cause. William F. Buckley. Don’t lose the sight of reason in a cloud of second hand knowledge. Take off your emotional blindfolds! This is an important issuel!

The Friends hope to see you at their next crusade, Dwayne Friend Comes to Nyssa By Kathy Daudt Dwayne Friend who is nationally known as a televi sion evangelist, from Spring field. Missouri, was in Nyssa all last week (October 2-9) at Nyssa’s new school audi torium. The Crusade was well attended and people drove as far as 200 miles to hear Dwayne and his singing group ("The Friends") bring the gospel in song. Dwayne felt that the Nyssa crusade was very successful. Why would a national evangelist come to Nyssa instead of Boise, Nampa or even Ontario as that’s where all the other crusades or evangelists go? Dave Gourley who gave the Nyssa Journal this interview said. "Well several people in Nyssa have attended Dwayne Friend Crusades in Boise and surrounding areas, while several Nyssa pastors invited Dwayne and his Friends to come to Nyssa, so we did.” The Friends enjoyed their stay in Nyssa very much and Dave commented the people were very nice and hospitable During their stay the Friends went fishing at the Snake River with not very good luck and gave an assembly to the Greenleaf Christian Academy A big highlight during Dave’s visit was when Aarron Wilburn (one of the Friends) brought Dave a 501b. sack of onions, as Dave likes onions so very much. On Friday the Friends attended the Nyssa - John Day game since they didn’t hold a crusade that evening. Dave told this reporter “that they enjoyed the game very much and a Nyssa victory made the game that much better.” Dwayne Friend was raised in a rural area in the Ozarks of Missouri called Dawson near Mountain Grove. He was raised in a family of nine boys and one girl who all sang and played instru ments. When he was seven teen he gave his heart to Ood and a few months later, he preached his first sermon. He later traveled with the Happy Goodman Family, one of the nations top gospel singing groups. After spending two years with the Goodman Family, he left to be an associate minister at the Cathedral of Tomorrow Church in Akron. Ohio where the Rev. Rex Humbard is now pastor. In later years Dwayne was a member of the famous Blackwood Brothers Quartet. While involved in gospel music, he was voted the number one instrumenta list in the United States and Canada for two years in a row and winner of the “DOVE” award for writing the best gospel song in 1970 “The Night Before Easter." Now Dwayne travels with his Friends approximately 80.000 miles each year doing auditorium crusades all a- round the U.S.A. His team consists of pianist Dave Gourley, singer Daphne Scha ffer. Dwayne’s son Zane Friend, singer Aarron Wil burn. who is a gospel song writer of many of todays top gospel songs, and Ed Uni cume who sings bass, from Spokane. Wash. Dwayne and The Friends are seen na tionally on their television program “Mr. Gospel Gui tar” on about 60 stations around the U.S.A, and Canada. Dwayne is seen locally ou Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. on Channel 2. Free-will offerings and gifts from viewers pay for the television programs and ex penses for crusades, there are no commercial sponsors used. Dwayne and his wife Sue have four boys. 20 year old Johnathan, who attends col lege at Spokane. Wash., 18 year-old Zane, who started traveling with his dad this spring when he graduated from high school, 16 year- old Marty, who attends a Christian high school in Spokane, and is a senior this year, and Darren who is 13 and attends junior high school in Mountain Grove, Missouri. Aarron who wrote the Best Gospel song in 1975 "What a Beautiful Day for the Lord to Come Again” is married to a beautiful lady from Birm ingham. Alabama and have one child. Jimmy, age 2'4.
