Newspaper Page Text0 Public Relations Man Speaker For Local Rolarians Liberty and freedom are an in dividual problem, there can be no freedom without individual freedom, and no society can en . joy liberty unless each individ ual is free. This view was expressed by C. L. Irving, managing vice presiclent of the Pine Industrial Relations council inGa Tuesday luncheon address before the Medford Rotary club at the Ho tel Jacksem. The Klamath Falls public and labor relations expert cited some contradictions that have gone hand in hand with traditional American freedom and liberty. Contradictions Listed Paradoxically, George Wash ington was one of the earliest Colonial slave owners while fighting for American freedom. Abraham Lincoln led the nation into civil war to free slaves, but in doing so initiated military conscription, the practice that thousands of emigrants had come to America to avoid, Irving said. While Conferedate General Robert E. Lee fought to sustain slavery during the civil war, he freed his slaves. Irving remind ed Rotarians that the Revolu tionary war started because of tea taxes, yet Americans today are taxed more than European peasants under feudal rulers. Labor fought long for the privi lege to voluntarily join unions, then in turn they fight to compel others to join. Irving pointed out a few pres ent day threats to individual freedom and liberty, described by Lincoln as "the right to do as you please with yourself and yours." Farm Subsidies Farm subsidies have permit ted government to encroach upon the rights of farmers, plan ned economy and big govern ment have brought a multiude of controls infringing upon per gonal liberties, and the gradu ated income tax advances the Robin Hood theory of robbing the rich to pay the poor, Irving said. Curtailment of freedom of speech, bigotry and intolerance were also cited as threats to per sonal liberties. Reliance of prayer was point ed to as one of the great forces toward perpetuating liberty and freedom. B. L. Nutting, manager of the Medford (Corporation and Rotary chairman, introduced the speaker. U. S. National Shows Deposit Increases United States National bank deposits increased more than $33,000,000 during 1955, ac cording to a year-end report by E. C. Sammons, bank president. The ,,1955 deposits totaled $781,492,594, compared to $748, 300,328, during 1945, Sammons said. Medford branch reported deposits totaling $24,771,653, ac cording to Allan F. Perry, branch manager. Total resources of the bank also increased last year from $310,873,029 Dec. 31, 1954, to $847,711,491 Dec. 31, 1955. The loans and discounts total for last year was $309,103,253- Medford branch's loans and discounts for 1955 totaled $9, 267,583, Perry said. During 1955, the U. S. Nation al bank added two new branches in Salem, one in Mill City and one in Ashland, bringing the number of branches to 62 in the state. Water Contract For Bellview Proposed Ashland ; Stockholders of the Bellview Water association have decided to draw up a resolu tion asking that a contract be made with the city of Ashland to take over the present Bell view water system. - Stockholders and the Ashland city council discussed possible means of overcoming present low water pressure in the area. Under the proposed contract, Ashland would maintain and op erate the system. Present plans call for a 12-inch main to give residents better pressure. The city council assured Bell view residents pressure would be improved, but that the water supply would remain the same. On The Side By E. V. DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) What is James McNeill Whist ler's greatest painting? It cer tainly is not, as many people think, his painting of his moth er. That painting, originally ti tled "An Arrangement in Grey and Black," was no sensation when first shown. It was award ed only a third class medal at the Paris exhibition. In 1891 the French government bought it for S600. Its use in connection with Mother's day in this coun try is what unquestionably has made it so celebrated. As a work of art, its rating is low. Briefly The thoroughbred's name most' often mispronounced is that of the great sire, Alibhai. How do you 'pronounce it? . . . The least enthusiastic church-goers in Europe are the Swedes. Only 2 per cent of Swedish peo ple attend church regularly . . . "Babe" Ruth is known chiefly because of his talent as a hitter of home runs. However, his greatest achievement during his long diamond career was pitch ing 29 consecutive scoreless inn ings in World Series competi tion. Please Note Insurance carried by Rise Ste vens, the glamorous operatic star, calls for her getting $2,000 if her voice is not in singing shape for a week. Should Rise lose her voice entirely, the pol icy calls for the payment of $700,000. So They Say Women born under Pisces (February 21-March 20) have a strange magnetic power of at traction. Men are intrigued by Piscean females without ever knowing exactly why. Or, so say the stargazers. (Note Lily Langtry, Joan Bennett, Jean Harlow, Toni Mannix and Ar line Judge were born under Pis ces.) Best Years Wives referring to their hus bands still frequently give voice to the remark, "I gave him the best years of my life." What are the best years of a woman's life? Experts on the subject say they are those between the ages of 25 and 40. The best years of a man's life are said to be between the ages of 30 and 55. Among ihs Married A young couple I know re cently sent all their relatives and friends telegrams reading simply, "Isaiah 9-6." Looking up Isaiah 9-6 in the Bible the recip ients of the telegrams found it reads: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." Horses and Women Are you a bachelor? How far have you progressed in under standing women? Can you use a helpful hint on the subject? If so, consider the following obser vation by Marie Corelli. "In af fairs of love a woman is per haps most easily ensnared by a man who can combine passion with pleasantry and hot pursuit with social tact and diplomacy." Asides Women talk 25 per cent faster than men but say 40 per cent less. Females use too many un necessary adjectives when con versing . . . Most physicians don't like their friends to call them "Doc." They prefer to be addressed by their first names.' They say "Doc" is all right for a veterinarian or a dentist but is too much lacking in dignity to apply to an M.D. Announcements A suggestion has recently been been made that divorces be an nounced as engagements and marriages are. That is not a new idea. In. the yesteryear, divorce announcements were frequently made. Some were grave, some were gay and, some were like the following, which appeared in a Yankton, S.D., newspaper: "Mr. and Mrs. Peter Travis take pleasure in announcing the div orce of their daughter Philopena Amelia from Mr. John Jones Robinson, Yankton, S.D., April 10, 1896."
