HOWARD POLLOCK GUEST SPEAKER AT FERM-CiTY DINNER

Approximately 125 Changers Xiv anians and their wives gath. sered at Elks hall this past Satur- day in observance of the open ins of FARM-CITY WEEK in Palmer. A dinner, prepared through the joint efforts of the Two organizations, was served, followed by an evening of danc- tsng.
 Howard W. Pollock of Anchor age. chosen as one of the 10 out standing men in the United Stat ses last year, was the principal speaker. He was introduced by James Wilson, past master of the .Northiand Pioneer Grange who also spoke to the group on the local Grange and it's history. Other speakers included Cliff Marcus, KiWanian, who offered a welcome to the Changers; James Hurley, past president of 4he Palmer Kiwanis club and former Lt.-Gov. of the Alaska Yukon District who gave his zury of the local KiWanis club and the importance of it's civic work; and Charles Logsdon who acted as master of ceremonies.
 In speaking to the assembly .kiwanian Pollock, referred to klWanis and Farm-City Week, pointing out that Kiwanis is a service organization with high sde als, worthy objects and chal- longing objectives, which are realized through the activities of more than 1000 constituent clubs Fn the United States and Canada, including Alaska, the Yukon Ter eItory, Newfoundland and Hawaii, wiah approximately 230,000 mem .oefs. For most Of the 40 years of it's existance, Pollock pointed aout, Kiwanis has had six basic 0b5 eets to impress upon it's mt mbership. They are: To give primacy to the human and spirit nal encourage the daily living Of the Golden Rule; promote the adoption and application of high er social, business and profession aI standards; develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and seryiceable cit sJzenship; provide practical means to form enduring friend ships, render altruistic service, and to build better communities, and to cooperate in creating and maintaining sound public opin- ion and high idealism, which nFTeke possible the increase of righteousness, justiees patriotism and good will.
 Kiwanis has keenly recogniz- ed the importance of agriculture s0 our nations economy, Pol sesek stated. sIn 1924 an Inter- 0ational Committee on Agricul- fure was formed. Since that time, numerous activities concerning agriculture have developed by and through Kiwanis over the nation. Kiwanians know that rur- al-tlrban cooperation must be whore than a slogan. Their pro- 5ects show that they are anxious to help farmers and to attain bet ger understanding between farm and city people. As an example. he said, .sin 1854 alone, 264, 109 Banners were guests at Kiwanis- farmer meetings; workers were secured for growing and harvest ing crops; All groups, Future Farmers of American and Juni- sor Farm Groups projects; farm s-.--------------z---

festivals held; farm safety activ- ities sponsored; other farm pro- jects undertaken; trees planted,
 and 187,517 farm children aided
 in activities other than All, Flu ture Farmers and Junior Farms. ''The fervent desire to foster closer cooperation, unity and un- destanding between country and city people brought about estab-
 lishment of the first Kiwanis- sponsored Farm-City Week. We are gathered here tonight in recognition of the anniversary of Farm-City Week.
 City people need to be re- minded how they depend for their nourishment and their clothing upon the foods and fi- bers farmers produce in plenti- ful supply at a reasonable price. they need to remember that if farmers are not prosperous they will not be able to buy the things that city people make and sell !. Country people need to bear in mind that the city man who earns wage is their biggest customer, and that in large mea- sure it is managers and workers in cities who process and distri- bute products that the farmers grow.
 All groups-farm and city are voters. All are taxpayers, all are citizens.
 ..The one dark and ominous cloud which shadows our horizon, is the threat of world conflict engineered by the disbolocal de sires and aims of International Communism. When we look be- yond our horizons, we are consci- ous of farmers and other peoples of the world suffering under the oppression Of communist total itarianism, in contrast to our cherished free-enterprise way Of life.
 Even the most skeptical Of us, he went on to say, eare be. coming more conscious that to- days shrunken world is not large enough to long contain two such diametrically opposite ways of life as those of democracy on the one hand, and International Communism on the other ... the final victory, I hazard to say, will not be won by the force of arms, but instead by works of peace
 The guest speaker pointed out that not all communist eonquests have been achieved by the sword, 'Czechoslovakia went eommun- ist without a shot being fired :. because the Communists had captured the minds of a suffic- tent number of Czechs to gain control. Always the conquest was initially the same .. cen tralization of all control i. then .. then domination.
 Today the miracles of modern transportation and communica- ton have brought our story to even the most remote lands. The world is watching us -. whether we relish the honor or not, the hard fact remains that leadership of the free world has become cur lot If we abdieate that leadership International Com munism will surely step into the vacuum, and the process of "'eommunizing' the remainder of the world will accelerate.
 The task before us then,' he stated, if we would enjoy and expand upon the kind of Ameri- ca to which we have fallen heir, is to exercise that kind of lead ership which will cause the peo- pies of the world to choose the way of freedom over that of com ,,,s~>~>eorceee@oo~ ~socSooo-~r>euor@@<.x
