Americans Must Reawaken to
Understanding, Speaker Says
mm m m
Americans need to re
awaken a new appreciation
and understanding of what
America really is. Compla
cency is Amerjca's greatest
evil.
So stated Cy Radcliffe,
traveler and Idaho business
man, at the Rogue River Val
ley Knife and Fork club Tues
day evening at the Rogue
Valley Country club.
Speaking on "What in the
World is Going On . . .?" Rad
cliffe told of the things he
saw and heard during a five
months tour of 27 countries
recently.
Sensational News
The speaker stressed that
the American press, in his
estimation, played up the sen
sational news. He recalled the
Little Rock situation and how
the natives of India reacted
to the story. He told how he
had complained in Tokyo of
the banner headline "Amer
ica Admits Defeat" following
the Oct. 4 firing of Sputnik
I, only to be told by the edi
tors that that was the way
the story had been written
in America and sent to them.
He mentioned how Amer
ica's reappraisal of its educa
tional system was in all the
newspapers, but later, when
Khrushchev announced that
the Russian educational sys
tem was not doing a good job,
as it was stressing science and
mathematics too much, it
went unnoticed by the press.
Radcliffe mentioned that
the hundreds of Americans
who complained about the suf
fering of a Russian dog in a
satellite should visit the Near
East to see real human
misery.
"We need a better evalua
tion of life behind the Iron
Curtain," Radcliffe continued.
"Khrushchev has no trouble
in getting his word spread
throughout the world, so he
isn't going to say anything
that would tip his hand in
his rule over the Russian
people."
The American taxpayer is
paying to tell their story
abroad while the newspapers
are freely telling Khrush
chev's story throughout the
world, Radcliffe stated.
He mentioned a recent news
item in which the Russian
leader challenged the United
States to an industrial race,
stating, among other things,
that Russia would out produce
the United States in the manu
facture of vacuum cleaners.
"Why," the speaker asked,
"doesn't someone throw back
the challenge, the majority of
the Russian homes do not
even have rugs." t
Advancement Drag
One drag to the advance
ment of Russia, the speaker
explained, is the obsolete
method used in farming. As
long as manpower is tied
down on the farms,' they can
not be used in industry.
Only 12 per cent of the
population of the United
States are farmers, he said,
while half of the Russian
population is on the farms,
and even they can not meet
the demand.
He told of one 5,000-acre
collective farm he visited
which was worked by 964
families. The equipment used
include six obsolete tractors,
91 oxen, 100 horses, and wom
en workers. The new modern
design equipment is only used
for display purposes, the
speaker added.
He explained that the Rus
sians are behind in production
and industrial design. The de
sign, he said, is gotten from
the west, simply by buying
a few items and then copying
them in Russia.
Mikoyan Visit
Radcliffe said that a Rus
sian, who visited the United
States in 1933 to gain tech
nological knowledge of the
steel industry, recently re
turned for knowledge of the
chemical and plastic indus
tries. The man he said was
Mikoyan.
He mentioned Russian
copies of American automo
biles, airplanes, cameras, and
farm equipment. And stressed
that the old and obsolete items
are used inside Russia while
the modern and newly de
signed articles are sold at a
loss to other nations for
political advantage.
The speaker told of the
high cost of food and cloth
ing in Russia and the low
salaries which makes many
BUTTE FALLS
City Open House Held
By MARY JO HARRIS
Butte Falls - The city of
Butte Falls held an open
house in honor of the state's
100th birthday Sunday, Feb.
15, at the new city hall.
Various items were on dis

which showed 66 signatures
at the end of the day.

Safety has been in the spot
light at the grade school for
the past several weeks. The
latter part of January, a state
policeman was at the school
speaking on safety. Safety
rules were given for walking
along the highway, riding bi
cycles, and crossing streets.
The officer ended his talk by
showing students his car. Stu
dents found the siren and
radio most interesting.
Feb. 4, Sheriff Joe Walsh
and a deputy showed a safety
film to grade school students.
New crosswalks have been
painted on the highway to
aid children coming and go
ing to school and to stress
further the part that safety
plays in their lives.

He stressed that Russians
can do anything the United
States does if they concen
trate on it, and added that the
world belongs to that group
of people who excel in scien
tific knowledge.
He told of newspaper ac
counts of a talk by Khrush
chev in Prague, Czechoslo
vakia, where thousands
massed the public square to
hear him and were reported
"to have continually inter
rupted the talk by cheering."
Radcliffe, in commenting
on the talk, which he attend
ed, reported how the police
marched the residents to the
square for the speech which
was delivered in Russian. The
cheering was started by those
on the platform, he said.
In concluding, the speaker
challenged his listeners to
above all else remove com
placency from their families.
Evil triumphs, he said, when
good men do nothing.
Following the talk a ques
tion and answer period was
held. The speaker was intro
duced by A. C. Pierce. The
