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.

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

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.

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!

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.
Both Dave and Daphne are
single and Ed is a business
man in Spokane. Wash, who
flies in for crusades on the
weekends.
