Kiwanis Official Urges Work At Community Level MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdfard, Oregon, MonJty, OetoI.tr 27. 1958 3 rte need to go to work at the community level to be effective and tomorrow will be a beautiful day.' Those were the concluding words by Stary Gange, Vi- sana, Calif., olive grower and producer, who addressed Med- ford Kiwanis club members and their guests Saturday night. Gange, expressing great interest in what will happen in the world in years to come, was principal speaker for the service club's 35th anniver sary party. The dinner and dance were at Rogue Valley Country club The former governor of the California-Hawaii-Nevada dis trict of Kiwanis International mentioned the developments over the past 35 years which have made life more worth' while. Concerning advances of the future, he used the ex pression, "You ain't seen noth ing yet." Gange then told of some of the possibilities, prob lems and challenges faced in population increase, growth of the west, education and in ternational affairs in "build ing this new tomorrow." "You and I have the great est challenge ever given a free people," Gange declared con cerning the challenge from Russia. Speaking of tendency of government to "break down' when it gets higher than the local plane, Gange said, "We need to do all in our power at the community level." He advised working on some tning closer to home " so we can be more effective." If the community is working, state, national and world govern ments have a way of taking care of themselves, he main tained. Even a little' contribution makes a change, Gange stressed, and "the world will never be the same because we lived." The olive grower, who travels about the United States filling speaking engage ments, said that he had real ized he "was not going to get out of this world alive." He came to the decision that the thing to do is to "live." He quoted the prayerful remark, "Oh Lord, keep me alive as long as I shall live." Gange pointed to more than one million men in service clubs in the United States working only for good. "What a tremendous power," he stat ed. He brought out the need to do the jobs given one in a community and to get more jobs. When one has the right motivation he can get things " done, the California man said. On the contention with Communist world, Gange as serted that "we have a bear behind us." ' After the first Russian Sputnik, he said, the United States for a while was a "second class" nation. "We've a challenge the likes of which we've never had be fore," he told his audience. He went on to say that this nation is also a challenge for the Russians. Has Challenge Gange mentioned the possi bility that the more Russian people are educated the more they may find that they dis like about their own govern ment and the more they may learn, of the outside world. Russia, he stated may be sow ing the seeds of its own de struction, but this country still has a challenge to meet. Elaborating on internation al problems, Gange said that "people who are hungry know we live high on the hog and want some more of it." He charged that the two most powerful nations in the world today know the least about diplomacy. "We are Mr. Fixit and we do it by just picking up the check," he remarked. He contended also that "we put our big flat foot in the wrong place" and that na- behind the people in their understanding of problems More people are becoming interested and are cooperating with education, Gange report ed. No one has ridiculed edu cation and survived, he assert ed, adding that Sputnik has awakened people to this fact. He brought out that business men all of a sudden are real izing that "not just the school people have the kids. Busi nessmen have a challenge to work with the school people for the pattern of education could be set for 1,000 years, he maintained. More must be done along basic, fundamental education al principals in the opinion of Gange. He expressed the thought that, while this coun try needs engineers, technic ians and physicists, it doesn t need a crash program but just more slant on these scientific courses. Gange ventured that the new world of tomorrow is go ing to be in the Pacific area for this is where two-thirds of the world's population lives. Along with this, Amer ica's own west is growing and creating "wonderful prob lems," he said. The right peo ple, he stated, can work out these problems and change the west "to their heart's de sire." The olive grower told of the values of optimism and enthusiasm and a sense of urgency with a sense of bal ance in facing problems. He expressed the opinion that people's attitude on the local level will be every bit as im portant as their aptitude. Gange warned that today's problems cannot be solved through today's eyes. It's well to look to the future but peo ple should not worry about it, he cautioned. Don't be anx ious for tomorrow, but let to day's troubles be sufficient, he said. Lists Five Rights Gange listed five rights and powers of the American way of life. These are the right to know, the right to work, the right to save, the right to vote and the right to pray. Right to know, he said, is a very basic thing and ex-1 pressed his belief in the right to work without having to pay a premium to anyone. Power to save has been weak ened by taxes, inflation and credit, Gange pointed out. He warned that power to tax is the power to destroy and said too much tax money has been sent to state and national gov ernments.

Nixon defined a "radical" as one who "advocates high government spending." He told a news conference that election of some "radi cal" Democrats to Congress would lead to more "national ization and socialization if you mean more government and less private enterprise." Thevice president flew to Minneapolis Saturday night to spend a restful Sunday and to address a Republican breakfast he boosted farm belt Republican senatorial and congressional candidates. His next stop on his cam paign tour, was to be Battle Creek, Mich., today. Says Voters Shifting Nixon also said he and President Eisenhower agreed that "implementation" of for eign policy is a proper cam paign issue. "I believe that foreign pol icy and domestic policy have got to be discussed," Nixon said. Nixon flatly refused to pre dict that the Republicans would win the elections, de spite his statement Sunday tional leaders sometimes lag that a "striking shift of voter 'Radical' Logical Term For Some Democrats Nixon opinion had halted a predicted "Democratic landslide." However, he said the Dem ocrats "have a tendency to I run out of gas." Nixon denied "categorical ly" that he had asked Calif ornia Gov. Goodwin J. Knight not to run for reelection in favor of Sen. William F. Knowland. , , Defends Foreign Policy In his breakfast speech, he challenged Democrats to com pare foreign policy under the Truman administration with that of Secretary of State i John Foster Dulles. "If they want to compare their record with ours, then, boy, go to it," he said. "We'll give them the shellacking of their lives. Nixon warned Sunday that anyone trying to predict the November election "will find himself as confused as a be ginner with a hula hoop." The American shoreline of the Great Lakes is about equal to the combined coasts bordering on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the Gulf of Mexico.
