t V f 1 MAIL TRIEUNI, Medford, Oregon, Friday, April 10, 1959 Dedicated Imagination Said Keystone to Living Dedicated imagination is the major keystone to a happy and fruitful life, and new op portunities, according to the Rev. Ned Burr McKenney, who spoke last evening for a meeting of Siskiyou Knife and Fork club, held at Tally Ho restaurant. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Earl L. Lawson, Medford, club president, who ; announced that this was the last meeting of the season. The club will begin sessions again in Oct ober. The Rev. Mr. McKenney's topic was "Passport to Un usual Opportunities." The min ister declared that life was meant to be interesting, ex citing, and filled with mean ing, and those persons who are not now achieving this should endeavor to reorganize their thinking and living. Most adults of the United States do not cultivate their imagination, and do not real ize what an active imagina tion can do to enrich daily living, he said. He cited such men as Wilbur and Orville Wright, inventors of the air plane, Dr. Frank Laubach, who started the world-wide "each one teach one" cam paign to fight illiteracy and Thomas Jefferson, early-day American statesman, as men who had the imagination to realize what can be accom plished to change life. Americans Realists Americans pride themselves on being "realists" he said, when actually they are mostly just "factualists." The speak er added that Americans dis like unpleasant facts,' and failed to realize that "good possibilities are wrapped up in distasteful facts." The Rev. Mr. McKenney repeated a conversation with the famous historian, Arnold J. Toynbee, who when asked to describe what historians of the future would say about this generation, declared this generation would not be known for decline and" decay, but as the "first generation which dared to believe that the welfare of all mankind can be improved." '.- The speaker listed "visas to the passport of life" as in dustry and hard vork, a sense of humor, an appreciation of others, optimism, humbleness, reverence for life and dedi cated imagination. He added that "We in this country seem to have lost our enthusiasm for good, hard work" and "If our dream for the welfare of this country is to be an expanding dream, some of us are going to have to work more than seven Square Dance Club Will Be Honored At Graduation Party A graduation party for a class of square dancers will be held at the YMCA Mon day, April 13, at 8 p.m. The party is being co-sponsored by the YMCA and the Y Knot Twirlers.
