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.

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."
