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

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.

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.
