Kreisman Says Help Should Be Given Those for Democracy Americans should offer their help and experience to those Democracy work in their lands and to help preserve the Ameri can heritage, Dr. Arthur Kreis man said Thursday night at a Medford American Legion post banquet honoring participants in its youth programs. Kreisman, director of general studies at Southern Oregon col lege, was main speaker at the dinner. He said that simple loyalty, support and faith in the govern ment and the people of the United States is part of the task of being a good American. The college professor declared that ability to compromise with one's fellow citizens also is es sential. Among those honored at the dinner were delegates to Beaver Boys' State, and Girls' State, members of the junior baseball team and oratorical contest win ners. A feature of the dinner was the presentation of the Legion naire merit award of the year for Post 15 to Granvil Brittsan. He is chairman of the post's special events and baseball com mittees, member of the execu tive committee, district vice commander and a past post commander. Presentation of the plaque was by Eugene Orr, a past commander who has held national committee position with the American Legion. Oratorical contest winners sponsored by the Medford post and honored Thursday were Miss Lindsay Darneille, post, district, slate and Region 11 winner, and Ross Dickinson, post winner.

Miss Reinking was pre sented a scrapbook trophy by Becken. Achievements of Stuart Young, Dan Miles and Don Anderson were particularly not ed when members of the base- hall team, coached by Clifford McLean, were introduced. Young pitched a perfect game, Dan Miles hit three straight ground rule doubles in one con test and Anderson got all four Medford hits in another. Speaks on Heritage Dr. Kreisman, speaking on "The American Heritage," said that the United States has the oldest democratic heritage in the world and that "how we got this way is one of the great human stories." He maintained that not enough people know enough about it that they value it enough to make the effort to preserve it. "I think," declared the edu cator, "that we need all the knowledge we can get." He told the gathering of young people, parents and Legion, county, city and school dignitaries at Rogue Valley country club, that this na tion s founding fathers felt that education of its citizens was one of the most important things that can be done. Kreisman discussed some of the misunderstandings concern ing American Democracy. He said that the men who fought the Revolution were not right ists, as some have claimed. They were liberals and the Tories were the rightists, Kreis man brought out. ( Use Best Judgement The Southern Oregon college professor termed it a "curious view" the idea that representa tives in this country s govern ment must vote the views of their constituents. He said that representatives should be sent to use their best judgment to act in the best interests of those they represent. While some people have the honest belief that the states are sovereign, the Constitution made the federal government sov ereign, he stressed to his audi ence. Concerning the charge by some that the Supreme Court is out of line in interpreting the hill of rights, Kreisman said that the founding fathers set up the court with the knowledge that the future cannot be legis lated for. He slated that inter pretations are never final and i change as times change. The U.S. form of government is fluid enough to take care of I exinencies and that is why it lasts, according to Kreisman. Variety ot Definitions Saving that he is disturbed by the way political language is being used, Kreisman presented a variety of definitions for the I words "liberal" and "conscrva ' live.' He said that definitions j are relative words and went on i to stale that any American is a i liberal as against the points of I view in totalitarian countries in ! Europe and Asia. Kreisman de clared that the real opposition in the world is between demo i cralic and totalitarian rather ; than between liberal and con j servativc. I He spoke of communism and j facism as enemies of democ ; racy at both ends of the circle and having more in common, both heing totalitarian. Kreisman told the group thai the founding fathers realized that "pure democracy," Ihe plain will of the people, docs not work with large numbers. I He pointed to the constitutional i republic as the result of this realization. Need To Debate Issues The chairman of the Southern Oregon college humanities di vision mentioned the need to get all the facts and to debate i the issues. But, he said, when the nation makes up its mind, citizens should go along with the majority. Kreisman decried making friends with people who are not democratic and thereby "pour ing money down rat hole " Rob Hoag. junior counsellor from Medford. discussed his ex periences at Boys' state. ty, it was decided last week by the Jackson county rural school board. Committee members are John Spangler, route 1, Talent; Sam Harbison, Medford lawyer; and Don Bohncrt, Central Toint. Mt. Pitt Lumber company, Central Point, earlier had agreed to provide facilities, sup plies and a part-time foreman for the program to be operated on its premises. The county school system would be required to provide $1,700 in annual rent, liability insurance and pay the power costs. The rental would cover a pre-fabricated building to be constructed by the lumber com pany and the machinery used. The program would be under the direct supervision of David Harms, Ashland, special educa tion instructor for the county. The lumber company would reimburse the county on a per hour basis for the finished pro ducts turned out at Ihe shop and sold hy them. This would cover small items involving con siderable labor, such as grade stakes for Ihe stale highway commission. The stale highway commission has agreed already to purchase such slakes from the shop, according to Ed Col- rrtOto 1 to u MEDFORDaWTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1963 Flying Geese Disrupt Central Oregon Power REDMOND (UPD-A flock of geese flew into a 12,000-volt feeder line between Redmond and Terrebonne Thursday night and set off a chain of trouble for Pacific Power and Light Co.
