Big Applegate, Nov. 30. (Spl.) It was over brimming plates of turkey and cranberry sauce that Medford Kiwanians and Upper Applegate Grangers got to gether here Monday even ing to gett acquainted and ex change viewi between farmer and businessman. At the sound of Ray Wilfley's tin pan dinner gong, over 40 Kiwanians and Dames sat down to a turkey dinner as guests of the Grange. William A. Dunlap, Kiwanian field service representative from Los Angeles, told during the dinner hour the purpose of Ki awnis. "It is en organization of service," he said. "H has succeeded because Kiwanis ideas are idealistic and include build ing a better community, aiding under-privileged children, giv ing vocational guidance and engaging in youth activity. We want a better understanding between city man and farmer, and this meeting tonight is an example of that understanding. "Kiwanis originated in De troit In 1915 when' two business men believed it would be bene ficial to start a group meeting once a week to discuss com munity affairs," Mr. Dunlap said. "The first charter was granted in the state of Michi gan, and today Kiwanis has grown to be international, main taining 2,000 clubs. The speak er mentioned the similarity of Kiwanis objectives and those of the Grange. Mrs. Lee Port, lecturer at Upper Applegate, was asked to explain the purpose and alms of the Grange. She mentioned briefly the history of the local chapter and a few of its many accomplishments. Otto Frohnmaycr,' Kiwanian president, presided, compliment ing the Grangers on their fine organization and beautiful hall, as well as their excellent din ner.

O'Keefe said all persons who are be hind in their payments and who offer no plan for set tling up will get their water In drips until the bills are paid.

It will take about three minutes to get a glass of water, and in order to take a Saturday night bath the dripping will have to start about Friday morning.

Oustee Rejoices Portland, Ore., Nov. 30. (Pi Frederick G. Leasure, former vocational education director for the Portland public schools, reiterated enthusiasm today ov- Medical Group Has New Local Offices; Announce New Plan Hospital and medical insur ance for the individual under a plan claimed to be one of the most advanced steps in this field in the country has been an nounced by the National Hospi tal association of Portland, ac cording to information received here by Ralph Furrer, represen tative for the association in southern Oregon and northern California. The Portland concern, estab- nsnca a years ago, since 1922 has limited it policies to industrial contracts, but because of a growing demand on the part of the public for individual coverage, has worked out a set of contracts which will provide wona-wiae individual and fam ily protection, according to C. C. Bechtold, secretary and gen eral manager of the association. Two plans will be available, o.ne known as the "hospital se curity plan," which will pro vide protection against all hos pitalization expenses, and the other, known as the "medical and hospital security plan," which will give protection against both hospital and medi cal bills. Three classes of contracts will be offered limited, standard and special for varying income groups. The first insures care in wards, the second in semi-pri vate rooms and the third in pri vate rooms. A unique feature of the plan is that insured persons will be given free choice of doctors and hospitals so long as they live up to certain standards set forth by the association. The National Hospital Associ ation of Portland has establish ed offices in this city in room 4, Jackson County Bank build ing, making Medford head quarters for the southern Oregon-northern California area.

IIP) The era has gone when people in one part of Oregon can be hostile or indifferent to the progress of any other part of the state. Pal mer Hoyt, Portland publisher, told boosters of Eugene's short cut to the sea last night. The planning of Lane county, especially the recent move to improve the Siuslaw port at Florence which would put Eugene 45 miles from tidewater transportation, is justified, he declared. By reason of its clima tic and geographic advantages, the Pacific northwest is destined to become the eventual center of population of the nation, Hoyt declared. "Your county has four times the area of Rhode Island," he reminded, "and twice the area of Delaware. It is as large as the state of Connecticut which now is the home for more than a mil lion people. You have boundless natural resources. What you do to build Lane county contributes to ' the building of our entire state. In unity on the projects which are for the benefit of any part of the state is our strength." TO MIAN LIFE BY CZECH PEOPLE Washington, D. C (Spl.) During the recent celebration of the 21st birthday of the Czecho-Slovakian republic, the country in which most Czecho Slovakian flags were still fly ing was the United States.

"Rallying around the exiled diplomats for the anniversary were United States citizens of Czecho-Slovakian origin," says a bulletin from headquarters of the National Geographic so citey.

S. marine corps reserve, left by motor truck to return to Seattle, Wash., today after transacting business here and in Ashland. The captain's mission here pertained to the dissemination of information regarding the appointment of aviation cadets and flight training leading to commissions in the naval re serve.

Captain Stedman said the pay of aviation cadets while on active duty undergoing training at Pensacola, Fla., is $75 a month plus a cash allowance of $1 a day for subsistence.

SPECIAL DEFENSE TAXES OPPOSED Washington, Nov. 30. P) Senators Borah (R Idaho) and Wheeler (D-Mont.) served no tice today that they would op pose special taxes to pay for increased national defense costs. Both senators said they felt if any such taxes were pro posed, they would be bound to call on the "little fellow" who could least afford to pay them. The problem of meeting the rising costs of national defense has been receiving President Roosevelt's principal attention in recent days. He said at Warm Springs, Ga., yesterday that nor mal and emergency defense ex penditures would be separated in the budget for next year. The average man has 7000 to 10,000 words in his vocabulary.
