Oregon History Traced During Big State Birthday Observance Portland -UPD- Oregon "his tory from the early sea cap tains to statehood 100 years ago was put on panoramic display Saturday. The Valentine state blew Itself to a giant birthday party with all the trimmings. As toria, Salem, and Portland were the focal points in the first major event of the Cen tennial year but dozens of other cities took part with ceremonies of their own. Major Addrasie Vice President Richard Nix on took the spotlight with major addresses in the three cities. He flew through a snowstorm in an Air Force plane from . Portland to As toria for the issuance of the first Centennial stamps, which went on sale today in the nation's 36,000 postoffices. The weather prevented Gov. Mark Hatfield from fly ing to Astoria from Salem, but he and Mrs. Hatfield wel comed the vice president on his arrival at the capital for the main event-the solemn ceremony in the rotunda of the capitol building. Nixon spoke later at a for- Kiwanis Kapers Tickets on Sale The . casting party for; the Kiwanis Kapers will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the Medford High school band room, according to Dr. Abner Clark, casting director.

National Bank of Portland, and then made an unscheduled appearance at Al Kadar Shrine temple's annual Potentate's ball, a glittering affair at Portland's Masonic temple. Pionttr Spirit HaiUd In all his addresses, Nixon stressed the pioneering spirit of the people of Oregon and its meaning in the world of 1959 He said the Oregon story had a special meaning to the people of this state but "an even greater significance to the people of America as a whole." "I do not know of any ev ent which could more vividly remind us of the rugged pio neer spirit of our people, of the tremendous progress we have enjoyed and of the sense of destiny of this nation." He said America needs Ore- gons timber and other pro ducts but even more it needs "the spirit of the pioneers of the Oregon trail." Friendly Guest ' Nixon, who left Sunday for political conferences in Cali fornia, was a friendly, genial guest. He shook as many hands as he had time for, chat ted informally with members of welcoming crowds in Astor ia and Salem, and signed doz ens of autographs. He had been invited to visit the Shriners' ball but didn't decide to go until the last minute. The Shriners hastily produced an honor guard and cleared a path on the ball room floor for the vice presi dent and Gov. and Mrs. Hat field to walk through. After the Shrine visit; Gov. and Mrs. Hatfield drove back to Salem for the grand Cen tennial ball, . and Nixon re turned to his hotel room. In Salem, Nixon read a proclamation issued by Presi dent Eisenhower calling on the American people to ob serve Oregon's 100th anniver sary throughout the year by "appropriate activities and ceremonies." Lenfen Season Said Proper Time For Meditation Editor's note: Tbis Is another In a series of special Lenten messages written for United Press Interna tional by leading American clergymen. By Dr. Theophilui Taylor Moderator, United Presbyterian Church In The U.S.A. Written for UPI The Lenten season is of course properly a time when, as Christians, we meditate up on the fact that God has dem onstrated the kind of love He has for us "in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." (Rom. 5:8). I But to meditate alone upon the sufferings of Christ and our own unworthiness of those sufferings, and to let it ' go at that, would be abortive meditation. If no gratefulness wells up from our lives be cause He died for our sins, and no new resolves gain as-: cendancy in our wills as a result of the gratefulness, the whole purpose of Lent has misfired within us. Our Lenten testimony ought to be, as expressed in I John 3:16, "by this we know love, that He laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." And having declared as much we must proceed to do that very thing! Nixon Sees No Change in Policy San Francisco - (LTD - The Illness of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles will not affect United States' foreign policy of "firmness on prin ciple and flexibility on tac tics," according to Vice Presi dent Richard Nixon. He arrived here from Port land, Ore., Sunday for a series of talks with California Re publican leaders. He was scheduled to have breakfast this morning with former Sen. William F. Know land before flying to Los An geles for a luncheon address. He will meet with former Gov. Goodwin Knight in the : southern city. Nixon said he spoke to Duiles by telephone Saturday after the secretary was in formed he had a recurrence ol! cancer. "it is remarkable that he has taken it as stoically as he did." the vice president said.
