Pay Tribute
to Life of
AIva Williams

To-day, we come by our Sc
parate paths to pay our mea-
sure of devotion and conSe :
crate the life memory of this
loved one and friend" said the
Rev. Charles Strong, pastor of
Pilgrim Christian church, of :
ficiating at the services for Al
va j. Williams, 80, Chardon
mill owner, who was brutally
slain.
The rites were at 2:3O pm.
in the Burr funeral home.
Under the circumstances, it
is hard for us to center our
thoughts on holy things" said
Rev. Strong. "Yet holy things
of eternal truth are all we can
turn to in this hour.
"One of the oldest and most
respected of our citizens has
been taken from us. This life
was created by God and throu-
gh some four score years has
been nurtured into a place of
community service and respect.
I'm his business he was fai-
thful, true and right.
In his family life and tow
ard his pets and animal life
he was kind and loving. In his
personal living the truth was
his goal and measure of fact
and thought. In many things
he was an honest doubter, but
he was never without a great
sense of the unfolding wonder
of Gods creation. To know and
understand this creation by the
rule of truth and fact was his
creed"
Rev. Strong concluded b y
saying, "The golden rule be-
came more than a mere self
imposed rule of behvior in bu-
siness and personal living. The
circumstances of his passing
make an impression at tn e
very heart of our community" -
Mrs. Williams, i'll, was un >
able to attend the service. Flor
al offerings were profuse.
PallbearerS were Bud Cullop,
Mark Sperry, Newton B. Chap
man, Robert Neill, Clifford Die
drich, Wallace Mills. Serving
as honorary pallbearers were
James Hiland, Ward Basquin,
Claude Garfield, Arthur Carl
son.
Burial was in Chardon ce-
metery.
Relatives were present at the
funeral from Huntsburg, Rock
Creek, Painesville and Cleve-
land, Ohio; also from FREEDOM
ia, New York, and a nephew,
Murray j. Williams, who flew
from FIT. Worth, Texas.

Observance Of Passover. the

special meaning for all oftus this
year as we come to the close of
the American Jewish Tercenten-
airy celebration. AT this season we
give renewed thanks for the bless
ings of freedom and for the oppor-
tunities we enjoy in this great
land Of ours.
We of the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods are parti-
cularly mindful of our American
heritage which made possible the
great achievements of such out
standing Jewish women as Re-
becca Gratz, Ernestine Rose,
Emma Lazarus, Henrietta Sold
and Lillian Valid. Their stories are
woven into the fabric of the ma
tons history, and their work in
social reform, education and other
fields has helped create better
world.
The lives of these women serve
as an inspiration TO those who
have come after them. Their ex-
ample spurs US on to greater eff
forts in our programs on behalf Of
Jewish and humanitarian causes.
Among the varied activities in
which the Sisterhoods are en-
gagged are: the conducting of 1nsti-
tutes on Judaism for Christian
Church Women. designed to &C.

vious refusal to return, which was desertion.
But the Army never promised, and
couldn't promise, to erase all the offenses
ever committed by these men. They were
held strictly accountable for their acts while
PW's, just as every other man was, but they
were given amnesty for having deserted.
One thing should be stated clearly at
this point in setting out its case, the Army
in no way intends to minimize the rigorS
and hardships of the Korean prison camps.
The monotony. the terrible food, the fears,
the threats, the absence of mail, the pres
ence of informers, the occasional punish
ment by solitary confinement, the constant
tension and atmosphere of duress were all
hard to take.
No Excuse fog Treason
Bur they are not valid excuses for treason
able acts against the us. or for commit
ting crimes against fellow prisoners which
in many instances, resulted in their NAL
treatment or death!
Besides, the records Of returned prisoners
show that men who refused to collaborate
with the enemy Jared as well, and in many
cases better, in enemy hands than the men
who did collaborate. Generally, the former
were placed in labor camps and kept busy
- the best thing that could have happened
to them.
In recent months, various plans have
emerged for dealing with "brainWashing.
One of the latest was an admiral's per-
sonal suggestion that American soldiers be
encouraged to say anything their captors
Evening star., 1955-07-17

who performed any act, no matter how vile,
if the PW was trying to obtain food for
survival, medical aid for any wound or
illness, or to avoid physical torture.
But until the Army learns of better way
to uphold its own and our country's stand
ards, the Army will stick by its guns: an
American prisoner Of war will give his
name, rank, serial number and date of
birth. Nothing more. Not a word more.
He will continue to fight mentally and ne
will do everything in his power to escape.
Make capture easy, and you destroy the
fighting spirit of your Army.
The Army realized that its prosecutions
would be hard on the families of the men
involved, but what about the families of
the men who suffered as a result Of the
selishness and treachery Of the few? If
the Army does not punish these traitors,
has it kept faith with those soldiers who
served honorably and, in many cases, made
the supreme sacrifice for their country?
The Axmy's Answer
AND how can we estimate the weakened
position of the United States internation-
ally when segment Of world support may
have been alienated from the US. as a
result of Communist propaganda mouthed
by small group of our soldiers?
Hard, defiant troops are the Army's
answer to 'brainwashing" its better for
their country and the soldier himself. Thou
sands Of men did us proud, only few
disgraced US. For this, we insist on their
punishment. The End

SO much less important than Communism
that our PW's not only do not resist but
are urged to cooperate with the enemy?
Let's not forget that one of the aims Of
Communism is to destroy one Of the prin-
cipal strengths of America, its moral fiber.
By encouraging soldiers to lie, deceive and
confess" we ourselves break down that
fiber and aid the Communists in their cause.
