Hear and there—There's something about camp life that agrees with just about every youngster around, as testified to by happy, sun-kissed faces of all campers returning last couple of weeks from first sessions at various camp sites . . . One of the more heartwarming sights at Camp Miriam is daily morning visit of yoimgest campers to cooking headquarters where they obtain a huge head of cabbage to feed to the rabbits in the camp miniature zoo . . , And from the simple things in the life to the sophisticated, Ruben Kopp's twin lower-level establishments, corner of Granville and Hastings, have to offer one of the most unique evenings in these parts: strawberries in" champagne for dessert in the elegant dining room and across the hall, the Honkey Tonk where featured Irish pianist-singer of many talents renders Hava Nagila with a

old acquaintances and to prepare the way -for historic reunion next October when the "Y" will be
celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Leible is not only urging a turn-out of all men who played under the "Y" color in such sports as softball, soccer, British rugby, football, basketball, weight-lifting and baseball, but he is even inviting the fans to attend. "Fans and supporters were just as important to, our success in those years as were the athletes," he chuckled, pointing out that when the Kellys and Cohens played at Carruthers park there was always a crowd of thousands. "For example when the five o'clock whistle went at Neaman's (fur manufacturers) everyone immediately headed for the ballpark when the "Y" boys
were playing."

Date for the Winnipeg "Y" reunion is Tuesday, Oct. 21. Anyone wishing further information can contact Leible direct at the "Y", 370 Hargrave St. . . . Incidentally, Leible was busy last weekend coaching another winning team, the Winnipeg Blues soccer team who defeated Vancouver Spartons in the Western
Journalists' dialogue between Arab and Israeli is suggested
NEW YORK (Special) — From the smoldering hatreds of Israeli-Arab fencing and sniping has emerged the unique suggestion from Tel Aviv that journalists from each side talk to each other across the battle lines so that

they might one day cease.to be enemies.
Eliezer Livne of Haaretz, Tel Aviv's largest newspaper, appeals for mutual understanding to Mahammed Hassahtin Haykal, editor of Al Ahram, Nasser's Cairo mouthpiece, in a letter translated in a recent issue of Atlas Magazine, containing a five-article Mideast round-up.
Mr. Livne says he hopes his ■ letter will be published in Al j Ahram "the same way that your own editorials are published, at times in full, in Haaretz." He asks if Mr. Haykal would concede "that there could be some advantage in a Jewish journalist and thinker exchanging views with an Arab colleague?"
The Atlas translation of Mr. Livne's letter points out that in

an Al Ahram column, Mr. Haykal wrote that only a military strike that would inflict 10,000 to 20,000 casualties on Israeli's forces could carry the Arab cause forward. Livne adds that "we, for our part, never use this kind of language in discussing our Arab adversaries. We do not crave you dead, nor do we conceive of their death as a solution to any problem, or even as a step 'forward'."
"Furthermore," Livne continues, "suppose that the Arabs did exact such heavy toll, though, at a much more terrible cost to themselves . . . How could it carry them even a single step 'forward'?"
Mr. Livne asks whether 5,000 dead Jews in the 1948-49 war advanced the Arab cause' or did this have rather the opposite effect?
He then outlines the result of Arab "murder and sabotage":
"The years 1926 and 1927 witnessed an outflow of Jews back to Europe. Then, in 1929, Palestine Arabs raided a number of Jewish settlements, killing about a hundred people, wounding many more. But did those raids discourage Jewish immigration, investment and resettlement? Quite the opposite."
"In 1936 Palestinian Arabs aided and abetted by terrorist gangs from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq launched a new wave of murder and sabotage . . ." that lasted three years, yet "1936 was a peak one for Jewish immigration, and Jewish land settlement reached unprecedented proportions in 1937 and 1938."
In the mid-sixties, says Mr. Livne, Israel was gripped by a recession. Immigration, investment and settlement all fell, reaching a low point in 1967, and he adds:
"Then came the Six-Day War, and despite its risks and horrors,, it proved to be a turning point. The entire economy went into high gear again. The growing terror campaign that followed the war not only failed to brake the economic upsurge, but has actually helped it along. Immigration rose from 16,000 in 1967 o 32,000 in 1968 and is likely to reach 45,000 in 1969. Business was given fresh and sustained momentum.
"Arab terrorism has now become part and parcel of the pattern of our daily living—a valuable factor indeed in the formation of oui' character and the amalgamation of our diverse communities."
