Memory Expert Opens
Knife-Fork Club Season
ASHLAND Siskiyou Knife
and Fork club held the open
ing dinner meeting Thursday
evening when George Bailey en
tertained approximately a hun
dred members with an "off
beat" program of memory,
magic and music.
In the absence of the presi
dent. Dr. P. Malcolm Hammond,
a former president. Dr. Earl L.
Lawson, Medford, took over the
master of ceremonies duties, in
troducing a number of new
members and guests before pre
senting the speaker.
For an evening of escapism
from world problems George
Bailey can be recommended.
His humor has a wholesome
Bess seldom heard from modern
lecture platforms and although
it contains a certain amount of
"corn" and old time hokum,
there is an underlying philo
sophical note. In physical ap
pearance and facial expression
the entertainer resembles Red
Skelton.
Baffles Audience
Some in the audience remem
bered Mr. Bailey from a previ
ous appearance before the
Knife and Fork club six years
ago and were as baffled by his
tricks as they had been the first
time. There was no lack of
hilarity when a well-known Ash
lander literally lost his shirt,
nor could anyone offer solutions
to the curd tricks, handkerchief
burning or necktie cutting that

are the magician's stock in
trade.
By naming every person in
the audience and repeatedly
using their names during the
evening the memory expert
proved his assertion that "we
have no trouble remembering
the things we are most interest
ed in," thereby opening a gen
eral discussion from the floor,
a result he had planned.
The speaker's versatility was
demonstrated when he produced
amazing music from goblets
and glasses of assorted shapes
and sizes partially filled with
water. The deep bell tones of
familiar selections were pro
duced in four-part harmony.
Mrs. Bailey accompanied her
husband.

Oldsters Warned Against
Becoming Political Pawns
Older citizens of the United
States must not allow them
selves to become a segregated
group, must not become the vic
tims of political and economic
exploitation, must not "just
live" but live fully, and must
not be filled with self-pity.
These were some of the ideas
reported to the first fall meet
ing of the Jackson County Re
tired Teachers' association, held
recently at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl J. Fraley, Ashland.
The new president, Miss Eliza
beth Settle, Medford, conducted
the business session and the
report was made by Miss Delie
Whisenant, Medford, f o r mer
president, who attended a joint
Area 9 conference of the Na
tional Retired Teachers' associ
ation and the American Associa
tion of Retired Persons. The
groups, operating together
under one set ot otticers, met
in Phoenix, Ariz., last summer,
From a speech made by Dr.
Ethel Percy Andrus, founder
and president of the allied
groups, Miss Whisenant quoted
"We should not speak of Amer
ica as 'they' but should realize
that everyone one of us is the
'we' that should be at work.
It isn't just living, but it is the
thrill of living fully that we
must do. Some are wrapped in
self-pity and have ceased to
grow and feel the thrill of life.
Everyone makes his own choice
of whether he really lives or
not."
Dr. Andrus also said "I think
one of the things we resent is
the fact that the non-aged are
a little bit unwilling to have
us share with them in the poli
cies and activities of life."
Growth in West
Dr. Andrus pointed out that
both the National Retired
Teachers' association and the
American Association of Retired
Persons have had their great
est growth in Area 9 and be
lieves this is due to the fact that
this is the West where there is
a great sense of virility, of the
pioneer spirit, of the love of
adventure and romance. She
said the West has a sense of
restlessness, of protest and
strength.
The program of the two or
ganizations for retired persons
concerns housing, insurance, i
social security, taxes, a drug j
service, a travel service, ex-1
changes of reading material, i
talking books, legislation, adult
education and other matters, it
was reported.
Miss Whisenant also reported !
on the address of W. C. Fitch,
executive director of the affili
ated groups on "New Goals for j
Aging." He pointed out that the ;
two groups are often referred to '
as the most responsible, re- j
spected organizations in the
field of aging and said "Our
number one goal is to develop
a 'dynamic maturity.' We want t
everyone to recognize age for ,
what it is an achievement and
a dignity."
He urged his listeners to
serve on committees and coun
cils and said "ours is a doing
organization." Mr. Fitch said
the "political exploitation" of
older persons is a frightening
aspect of life in this country and
urged members not to allow
themselves to become political
pawns.
Speaking of health legisla
tion, Mr. Fitch said the con
centration has been too much
on "illness and not enough on
wellness." He added that "We
stress the quality of life, and
not the mere length o( life."
It was noted that the Arizona
Retired Teachers' association
has ceased to send flowers to
funerals, and uses the money for
scholarships. The national group
gives $1000 each year to
Library of Congress for
talking book program.
