Page 2 The Honorable James F. Byrnes, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Byrnes: ‘Tomorrow, Sir, you will be in Paris meeting with the representaâ€" tives of the other great nations. I hope this conference will be sucâ€" cessful and that you and the other leaders will compromise on all deâ€" batable issues and treat each other as you all want to be treated. DIFFICULT TASK ... You have a difficult task ahead, Mr. Byrnes. I‘m aware of that. You have skillful men to deal with. They most certainly will be lookâ€" ing out for the welfare of their countries. the Un:itod States, Sir. You know, Mr. Byrnes, it‘s right discouraging for us to read about the troubles you and the othâ€" er ministers of state are having around the air age conference taâ€" It‘s not good to hear about our small â€" but important â€" failures in Germany, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Roumania. Nor is it good to learn about the troubles in Korea, China, and the Pacific in general. KNOWS WHAT EXâ€"GIS THINK ... The writer was one of those forâ€" tunate soldiers who did not see frontline duty, first hand . . But he did see it vividly through the words of fellow GIs for whom he wrote in ‘The Stars and Stripes newspaper. s The wordâ€"pictures these men draw of war, Sir, are ugly. These men never want another war. Nor do they want any more war talk. They‘re sick of it. And they know and deeply believe that any probâ€" lem. no matter how big, can be settled around a conference table. CONFIRMATION AT CONGREGATION ISRAEL The exâ€"Gis know, too, that these problems must be settled if just a Services for the largest class evâ€" er to be confirmed by the North Shore Congregation Israel in its 25 years of existence, were held at the temple at 840 Vernon aveâ€" nue, Glencoe, on Sunday, June 9. Each of the 71 _ confirmants made a short addressâ€"of his own choosing on a religious, historical, interfaith, or world topic. The following 25 were from Highland Park: Jane Arenberg, Paul M. Arenberg, Stephen Priess Behr, L. Kean Block, Alden Manning Fell, Nancy Lehmann Field, Lewis Robâ€" ert Goldberg, Mare E. Goldsmith, Janice Rae Kessler, Joan Elinore Mandel, Sue Ottenheimer, Jay Hil. liel Plotkin, Joan Ilene Roserithal, Carole Ruth Rubin, Mathilde Saâ€" phir, James N. Schaffner, John Isaac Schlossman, Barbara Siegal, Joel M. Siegel, Alvin, Ira Singer, Dvorah Elaine Smoler, Miriam B. Smoler, Susan Straus, Audrey Uhlâ€" mann and Barbara Weil. A joint confirmation reception was held at the temple auditorium: from 7 to 9:30 in the evening. Onâ€" the preceding Friday evening, June 7, each of the confirmants was presented with a Bible and confirmation . certificate. _ Rabbi Shulman spoke on "What Confirâ€" mation Means." Rabbi Hertz conâ€" ducted the prayer service and both rabbis called attention to gift cerâ€" tification for the food collection for the starving people of the world, and that this was a propiâ€" titious occasion for exercising charity. â€"The response was very gratifying. Officers Elected at Braeside School PTA ‘The Braeside Parentâ€"Teachers Civic association held its annual meeting recently in the school auditorium. . The meeting opened with the clection of officers for 1946â€"47, as presented by the nomâ€" inating committee. A short and amusing q-”h proâ€" "hardâ€"toâ€"get" prizes, combined to transform this formal annual meetâ€" ing into an entertaining evening. Mr. Charles Sproul, program chair. man, was master of ceremonies. Officers elected are as follows: president, Albert Valiquet; viceâ€" Walker and John Kuiper. I hope you will do likewise for W HITT N. SCHULTZ Let‘s Take a Look Open Letter to (ASpecial to The Highland Park Preas) By few of the many promises they were given ar@ to be kept. It seems logical, Mr. Byrnes, that we will never have peace if we continue to brag, to threaten, and to shake the terrible atomic bomb in the face of other nations. It seems to me that if you want to sell peace, you must be enthusâ€" instic about it. You must think peace, talk peace, believe in peace. THINK, TALK, BELIEVE IN PEACE... You must be completely sold on peace yourself before you can persuade others that peace is what we must have if we want to surâ€" vive. Why, Sir, can‘t we have this same spirit around the peace conâ€" ference tables? Briefly, we want you and the other diplomats to create a lastâ€" ing peace formula and a workable plan for peace. The Harlan W. Rogers > FIRM, TOLERANT, COURTEOUS APPROACH ... You‘re _ a _ southerner, Mr. Byrnes. You know that if you‘re polite and gracious to a man, he‘ll be polite and gracious to you. . Understand, Mr. Byrnes, we don‘t want you to be too easy goâ€" No. we want you to be firm in your tolerance of others. _ _ _ You can do it, Sir. I feel certain of that. Best wishes.
