KfWANIANS FEASI
WITH APPLEGATE
Get-Acquainted Meet Brings
Over Forty To Upper
Applegate Grange Hall.
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. He also brought out the
thought that in these days
everyone Is too busv lolni

xoo little time is given for good
fellowship. Hay Wilfley offer
ed the comment that in the east,
two years ago, he first started
reading in the Mail Tribune
bout the Applegate, mention
ing . his curiosity about the

booths in order that all Christ
mas mail going out of the valley
will carry with it a message of
health.

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.

ation of Portland has establish

INDIFFERENCE ERA
OF OREGON GONE
PUBLISHER SAYS
Eugene. Nov. 30. 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."

AERIAL TRAINING
Livingston Boyd Stedman, Jr.,
captain in the U. 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. He conferred with offic
ials of the Southern Oregon Col
lege of Education in Ashland
as the government is particu
larly eager to afford aviation
training opportunities to other
wise qualified young men who
have had to discontinue their
college work after completing
at least half the course.
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. Young
men interested were invited by
the captain to write for com
plete information to: Command
ing Officer, U. S. Naval Reserve
Aviation Base, Seattle, Wash.
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.
