2 The New$-Review, Roseburg, 0r. Tues. Jon. 5, 1954 Myrtle Creek Lions Club Planning Play Presentation During February By RUTH M. EVANS The Myrtle Creek Lions Club held a luncheon meeting Wednes day at the Myrtle Coffee Cup dining room. President Bob Kelly said the Lions decided to sponsor a play featuring an amateur east of local talent. Arrangements have been made with the United Production of plays, in Kansas City. Mo., to bring in one of their professional play directors. Tentative dates for Prosperity Groundwork Laid, President' Claims (Continued from Page One) about five billion dollars orth of farm produots acquired in its price support program. In a bid for bipartisan support, the President invited Democratic as well as Republican leaders to a Whito House briefing today on the foreign relations and national defense aspects of his message. Similar moves were under way In Congress, almost evenly divided among the two parties. Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) an nounced that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will sit down with .Secretary of State Dulles Thursday afternoon for a secret review of the world situation. Ik Changes Words Chairman Saitonstall (R-Mass) announced Defense Department of ficials will brief the Senate Armed Services Committee "just as soon as possible on details of the ad ministration s new defense pro gram. In one late chance in his speech last night, Eisenhower apparently sought to lay stress on actions al ready taken to ward off an eco nomic decline, including a pro gram to funnel some defense work into areas where there is large unemployment. As distributed by the White House, the President's text had him giving assurance that "every legitimate means available to the federal government that can be used to sustain . . prosperity for this purpose will be used if nec essary." Later, the text was revised and tho President changed the word ing slightly again in delivering it to say that every such means "is being used and will continue to ho used as necessary." President Confidant The President expressed confi dence that the program he will re quest of the session of Congress which opens tomorrow will meet with the approval of the people le said he hoped it would enlist support in both parties because of 'its purpose of promiting the wel fare of the people." Observing that no group of Amer icans can prosper unless all Amer icans prosper, he cautioned against division into factions and hostile groups. "We believe that the slum, the out-dated highway, the Door school system deficiencies in health pro tection, the loss of a job and the fear of poverty in old age in fact any real injustice in the business of living penalizes all of us," ho declared. tiff. , I .ji ' iK ' ' ' ' 6 ! the presentation of the play arc Feb 25 and 26. The play will be presented in the Myrtle Creek High School gym. Anyone interested in trying out for a part in the play may con tact Frank Radford, chairman, by phoning Myrtle Creek 1407 and 135. Radford said that many Lions clubs have used this plan to raise money and that the plays have always proved successful. Pro ceeds from the program will be used to buy additional hospital beds, wheelchairs and crutches to be loaned out to pop!e needing them in their homes.
