PACE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1959 Greai Decisions Discussion Groups Wanted In Oregon Wanted: Oregoniuns to join their friends in lurming Great De cisions discussion groups. Only re quirement is an interest in key foreign policy issues facing the U.S. in lll'iO and a desire to study facts to arrive at an informed opinion. Study groups that follow the na tional Great Decisions discussion outline will meet weekly during February and March, explained state chairman Mrs. Mabel Mack, assistant director of Oregon State College extension service. Great Decisions discussion groups give participants an op portunity to gain a deeper under standing of current foreign af fairs. Small, informal . discussion groups are the heart of the pro gram through which individuals form their own opinions on U.S. foreign policy and reiwrt their opiniions to policy-makers in Wash ing! on. Discussion topics for the forth coming nationwide study of for eign policy are: Communist Time luble for two, Divided Europe, lied China on the March, India's Middle Way, Hope for Stability in the Middle East, Goals for Africa Cuba's Revolution, and U.S. Glo bal Strategy. Fact sheets giving background information on the topics are pre pared by the Foreign Policy as sociation (FPA), a nationwide, nonpartisan educational agency. I'PA's fact sheets this year will present three viewpoints on each of the eight topics America's, the communists', and the country in volved. At the end of each discussion. participants will record their own decisions on individual ballots. Summary of opinion ballots cast in Oregon will be sent to the U.S. state department. County Great Decisions councils are being reactivated now through out the state to help organize the WOO program and make study ma terials available to discussion groups. Mrs. Mock explained that each study group organizes and runs itself, but can look to the county council for help. Last year more than 400 groups organized in Oregon. The program also is carried by high school so cial studies classes. Each issue is reviewed by Oregon newspapers, television and radio stations throughout the state. Bruce Blake. FPA assistant re gional director, San Francisco, suggests that many existing groups might want to discuss Great De cisions topics each week. Possi bilities might be bridge clubs, car pools, business people who lunch together, firemen, church groups, and any others who would like to study and share their views on U.S. foreign policy, he said. Great Decisions is co-sponsored in Oregon by Oregon State Col lege extension service and the gen eral extension division of the state system of higher education in co operation with the FPA, the state department of education, state li brary, and some 20 statewide or ganizations.
