Rev. Korby Sees Need To Give 'Vertical' Relationship To God The need to give priority to the "vertical" relationship to God so that the "horizontal" re lationship to institutions and to people can be set in order was itressed by the Rev. Kenneth Korby yesterday noon in a talk to Medford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club. Mr. Korby, pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran church here, spoke on repentance, indicating the differance between such ac tion and the common making of New Year's resolutions. "Repent ance is not like turning over a new leaf; it is being made new," he said. Outlines Time Mailers The minister outlined the mat ters of time, "dust or destiny" and relationships in connection with his theme. He described time as "a creature which is to be used and for which each of us is going to give an account." Mr. Korby likened human be ings to hired men, stating, "We have a divine master, who is without time, to whom we give account." Concerning destiny, the pastor pointed out that no man is de void of aims or goals and that each has goals, 1o a greater or lesser degree, both immediate and remote. He mentioned that even the vagu, goals shape de cisions. Mr. Korby further brought out that a person, questioning his own goals, will find his aims "bent back in" at himself for his own ultimate security. Image of God Needed The speaker stressed the need to be made again in the image of God. Christ established the right aims and goals for men and "chose to be among us to steer us from this inbentness," according to the minister. "He nas come to us to remake us," Mr. Korby said. Horizontal relationship of men to people and. institutions is something he cannot avoid, the pastor told Kiwanians. He spoke of . men using the relationships for their own advantage com pletely or trying to find mean ing in the relationships them selves. "Attempts to solve the full meaning of relationships in terms of themselves always fail," he said, however. "There can be no community," Mr. Korby emphasized, "unless it exists first in God." Every man, first has to "dare 'to be alone" and be responsible to God, he assert ed. The pastor stated that the horizontal relationship is tem porary while the vertical rela tionship to God is forever. If there is not that relationship with Him now, one will not have it with Him forever, he said. Jerry Russell, member of the special education class at Wash ington grade school, attended the meeting to bring the thanks of his class to Kiwanians for the gifts provided for their Christ mas party. 117 S.

Floods Cost SP About $5,000, San Francisco (U.R) Record storms and floods in Oregon, Northern California and Nevada over the Christmas holiday per iod cost the Southern Pacific about $5,000,000, the company reported today. D. J. Russell, SP president, said the loss represents flood damage, operating expenses of battling the storm and loss of revenue. Russell explained the revenue loss is due not only to suspend ed service and consequent in ability to move traffic, but also damage to properties of shippers which has put them temporarily out of business. A large share of the loss, he said, occurred on the Northwest ern Pacific Railroad, an SP sub sidiary serving the area between Tiburon and Eureka. NWP expects it will be an other three weeks or so before the line is opened to Eureka and Areata. It is still out of service from Willits north. The SP called out several thousand men, including the forces of the Morrison-Knudsen Company, to reopen all four main line routes radiating from San Francisco. Most of these men are still at work, bringing the railroad back to the condi tion it was in before the storm. Russell said the heavy rain and snow accompanying the floods was not entirely without harm. He said this extra water supply may produce bigger crops and business later in the year.

I CRUCIAL VOTE Ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-France casts his ballot in Paris in French election that may change the Republic's history or may prove a frustrating fizzle. .The big question is whether either of the two top rivals Mendes-France or Premier Edgar Faure can win a majority or come near enough to a majority to establish the first French government in a genera tion with a real mandate from the people. Mendes-France is con ceded to have a chance to do so, Faure very little chance. But most experts fear the vote will result in another weak and divided Parliament from which a stable government could not be chosen. State of the Union Message Background By UNITED PRESS Background on State of the Union Message - The State of the Union message usually con stitutes a summary of the ad ministration's program and ob jectives, and an outline of the legislation desired to achieve those ends. Section 3, Article II of the Constitution requires: "He (the president) shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and ex pedient ..." Time Not Stipulated The Constitution does not stipulate any time for delivery of the message, but the long standing custom is that 'it shall be sent to Congress in the early days of each session. Woodrow Wilson was the first president to deliver such a mes sage to Congress in person. Usually the Chief Executive delivers his message in a person al speech to Congress. But mere transmission of a document, to be read by clerks, as Mr. Eisen hower did today, is the histori cal way. - - - Ordered Neutrality End In his first message, President Eisenhower ordered the U. S. Seventh Fleet to end the two- &2 ft. 333 Pin- SHOP BY PHONE To order, call our direct line phone number. way neutrality patrol off the coast of China. In his second, in 1954, Mr. Eisenhower called for Congress to deprive convicted Communists of citizenship. Much of the more than two dozen legislative programs the President asked in his last re port remains before this session. The big ones still remaining are school construction and highways. And added to that this year is a new farm program. Forms For Mortgage Cancellation Mailed Salem Application forms for mortgage cancellation life insurance will ' be mailed this week, to some 11,000 borrowers under the state veteran's home and farm loan program, H. C. Saalfeld, director of the depart ment of veteran's affairs, has an nounced. Before the plan becomes ef fective, 75 per cent of the state's borrowers will have to accept the insurance plan, Saalfeld said. The insurance, authorized by the 1955 legislature, will pay off mortgage on homes covered by the borrower in case of death. The insurance pays only the un paid balance of the loan. Extensive Program For 1956 Outlined By County Chamber An extensive road improve - ment program, aid for industrial expansion, and renewed activity to encourage tourists and con ventions to come to Jackson county were projects approved for 1956 at a recent meeting of Chamber of Commerce board of directors. New officers, who met to se lect committee chairmen for the Chamber program, were Otto Ewaldsen, president; Bob Root, vice-president and Clarence Young, treasurer.

In the field of industry, offi cers approved a study of wood waste utilization; industrial wa ter use problems; industrial Amnesia Vicfihi Recognizes Wife . Placerville, Calif (U.R) A husband of one week slowly be gan recovering today from an at tack of amnesia that has blotted out memory of his romance and marriage. Ronald Evenson, 27, a student at Colorado School of Mines, last night recognized his wife, Delora Lee, 24, to whom earlier in the day he had mumbled, "I don't know you." Evenson and his wife were married in La Junta, Colo., Dec. 28 and went to San Francisco for, their honeymoon. Early Mon day morning, he complained of feeling ill. He disappeared from their honeymoon suite. Tuesday night, a truck driver almost ran over Evenson on a snow-covered mountain high way. Highway patrolmen took him to Placerville sanitarium, half -conscious and incoherent. His wife came here yesterday from San Francisco. Evenson stared at her without knowing who she was. She became almost hysterical with grief. Later, she vowed to stay by his bedside until he recovered. Dr. L. E. Shortes, physician in whose care Evenson was placed, had some cheering news: "He is recovering. He has be--gun to remember quite 'a bit of his background and he has rec-' ognized his wife. I want to em phasize he is still recovering. It's a slow process. "However, at the rate he's go ing, he can leave, here in two days. Some emotional shock, what it was I don't know, brought on this amnesia." Evenson and his wife met last June while they were attending summer classes at University of Colorado. She teaches school at Sterling, Colo. Henry Kaiser Under Hospital Treatment Honolulu (U.R) Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser was under treat ment at Queen's Hospital today for "aches and pains," and pos sibly a touch of flu. His son, Edgar, who flew here from Oakland, Calif., Tuesday with three prominent California physicians, said X-rays and other examinations failed to find much wrong. . - Edgar disclosed that his father suffered a severe cut on the back of his head in a fall at his home here Dec. 12. After being hospitalized for 15 hours for ex amination, the industrialist re turned to work on proposed hotel developments.
