This Sun- day, they were again. ° In between Sundays, Israel destroyed the air forces of four Arab countries, punished the armies of three of them and occupied a territory more than four times the size of Is- rae itself. The political consequences of the week likely will endure for a generation. Some Arabs may dream of eventual revenge on the Is- raelis. They probably will be unable to do anything except nurse their wounds for dec- ades. Granted that Arab nations are no models of military pro- ficiency, the Israeli conquests were nevertheless stunningly swift As one Canadian said, "per- haps all military colleges should be moved to Tel Aviv." Season Opens Doctors Move To Improve | More than four years ago, I flew over vast stretches of the Sinai Desert in an RCAF Otter plane serving the now- extinct United Nations Emer- gency Force. By then, the carnage of the 1956 Sinai can.paign had been hauled away or buried by the drifting sand. Only a few Be- douin tents sheltering behind their crude wind- and sand- breaks could be seen in the wadis and on the dunes, and perhaps a camel train en route to Rafah to get water from the Canadian troops, From the air this weekend, the impedimenta of war could be seen littering all the main tracks across the northern Si- nal. There were blasted or intact Soviet-built tanks, trucks and howitzers all over the desolate landscape. But perhaps the most chill- ing sight of all was that of thousands of stragglers from the shattered Egyptian Army making their way on foot to- At Stratford By DONALD PHILIPSON | adapted for Stratford by Peter} ward the Suez Canal in the terrible Sinai heat. Some of them would obviously never make it. Some ran or cringed or threw themselves into the sand as our small plane went over, thinking of the punishment al- ready inflicted on them by Is- raeli strafers. Others didn't even bother to look up but plodded on, heads bent. MANY GIVE UP Some had already given up. They lay prostrate in sand from hea t or thirst, or both Egyptians keep poor rec- ords, if any, of the numbers of casualties or missing. In thousands of Egyptian homes, no official word will ever ar- rive of the fate of these men for others lost in the swirling tank battles of Monday and Tuesday. A few vultures--in the Sinai, even pickings for the vultures are lean--hovered over the struggling mass of returning men. The Sinai sandstorms will do the rest in a short time for those who do not make it. The Sinai will continue to be dangerous for decades because of thousands of buried land- mines. Several Canadian members of UNEF were killed by mines left over from the 1956 cam- paign, : The Israelis fought this cam- paign differently than the one in 1956. Eleven years ago, they by- passed the Gaza Strip and ran their tank columns between Egyptian positions to Suez, en-. veloping as they went a much weaker Arab army. This time, they feinted in the south and made two frontal assaults on heavily-fortified positions far- ther north. By Tuesday, the second day of the war, they were already starting to mop up. On the central front against Jordan, they operated two pincer movements to take the west bank of the River Jordan in two days, capturing the Old City of Jerusalem almost with- out damage to Jewish, Chris- tian and Moslem holy places. Even before the firing stopped, the Jews were wor- shipping at their most sacred shrine, the Wailing Wall. Some Jews were kiled by snipers on their way to the wall, where they had not been allowed to worship since 1946, Israeli soldiers had to root out snipers and grenade-throwers from the garrets and cellars of the seedy Arab quarter of the Old City. Meanwhile, Syria had been shelling Israeli villages along the northern border from a vantage point on a ridge of hills north of the Sea of Gali- lee where they had been pre- paring deep positions for nearly 20 years. Not even Israeli planes could drive the Syrians out of their bunkers, similar to those the Chinese Communists used in the Korean War. Israeli infantry, many of them switched from the Sinai and Jordan fronts in a bril- liant feat of logistics, had to scale the hills and dig out the Syrians with rifles, grenades and bayonets, By Saturday night, they had taken the ridge and were 20 miles inside Syria when the United Nations ceasefire was arranged. ' Israel suffered its heaviest casualties in this battle, al- though exact figures have not yet heen released. By contrast, one of the easi- est operations for the Israelis was the taking of Sharm el Sheikh at the bottom of the Sinai Desert. When the Egyptians occu- pied Sharm el Sheikh, they blockaded Israeli shipping into the Gulf of Aqaba, The Israelis sailed down the gulffrom their port of Elath and took Sharm el Sheikh with infantry moved in from land- ing craft. The Israeli Army was able to conduct three simultaneous campaigns because their air force virtually destroyed Jor- danian, Syrian, Egyptian and Iraqi air power in the first three hours of the war Mon- day. Seven Egyptian divisions were left without any air pro- tection whatsoever after the Israeli Air Force hammered 25 enemy airfields as far away as Luxor in upper Egypt, catching nearly all the planes on the ground. Even Israeli pilots say they are at a loss to explain how the Arabs allowed their air power to be so easily knocked out when it was known for two weeks that war might be only minutes away. One Israeli pilot bought his Canadian money here last week to take his family to Expo 67 in Montreal. He was killed Monday. "Dear Lord, it Yehuda Street here said. This echoed the general 100d here.

Emphasis On Competition Seen Cause Of Indifference OTTAWA (CP) -- Over - em- phasis on competition for grades in schools is causing teen-agers to become indifferent to educa- tion, a York University sociolo- gist said Saturday. It is generally believed that students' grades should be dis- tributed from A to failing marks with most of the class in be- tween. Prof. Clifford Payntor told the Canadian Association of Sociolo- gists and Anthropologists meet- ing at Carleton University that this system encourages an in- tense individualistic struggle for grades. When one student achieves a high standing, it means it has been at the expense of his fellow students, leading to subsequent unpopularity and "'a decreasing interest in and alientation from school." Most teachers and parents are products of the system, he said, and they suspect that scholar- ship and intellectuality are not Prof. Payntor recommended group competition, standard grading systems and an attempt to instill academic interest in students. Group competition--a mathe- matics league similar to a foot- ball league -- would encourage students to co - operate with members of their own class. Standard grading systems would not mean that one stu- dent's success meant another student's failure, but would be an objective test of ability. Instilling personal interest in specific problems is the most difficult alternative, Prof. Payn- tor said, but is the best means of achieving creative scholar- ship. It would require a revision of secondary school curricula and possibly departures from con- ventional school design. This would provide an atmos- phere 'congenial to creative dis- covery and intellectual develop- the "'ideal of red-blooded youth." ment." So-Called 'Period of Crisis' In Church Termed Transition PETERBOROUGH (CP) -- A leading United Church theolo- gian told an assembly of Bap- tists Sunday he gets tired of hearing people say the church is in a period of crisis. Dr. Earl S. Lautenschlager, principal of Emmanuel! College, Toronto, told the annual meet- ing of the Baptist convention of Ontario and Quebec that he looks upon the so-called period of crisis as a continuing trans- ition. Dr. Lautenschlager described he church today as "develop- ing or coming of age to meet the capacity and needs of peo- ple coming of age." "The church once condemned under all circumstances, lend- ing money at interest, divorce, abortion, mercy killing and sui- cide. The Christian ethic on these points has developed and I take it we all, in principle, ac- cept the developments. As such we do not oppose the new mor- ality." "What we do oppose is new morality which is not progres- sion in Christian love and sensi- tivity and which constitutes ret- rogression into indulgence and lcentiousness."" | HONOR MISSIONARIES During the assembly dinner Saturday night, six Baptist mis- sionaries and ministers were honored for having completed 40 years of service.

Tribute Paid To War Dead OTTAWA (CP)--A memorial service for Canada's 112,331 war dead was held Sunday on Par- liament Hill to highlight the opening here of National Vet- erans- Week. More than 1,000 spectators turned out for a ceremony simi- lar to others held all over the country. Governor - General Michener, Prime Minister Pearson, De- fence Minister Hellyer, Veter- ans Affairs Minister Teillet and Gen. Jean V. Allard, the chief of defence staff, were present.

Harry Simon, regional direc- tor of the Canadian Labor congress, whose directly-char- tered local was on strike, said the first group of workers should be called back to work today. At one stage, the dispute led to mass picket lines and arrests. Terms of the three - year agreement provide a 13-cent-an- hour increase, effective from the beginning of the strike in October, 1966, 13 cents July 1 and 15 cents July 1, 1968.
