' Lawrence Winters, baritone, ac-i claimed as a singer on three con-j tinents, arrives in Roseburg today to present the first in a series of four Roseburg Community Concert Association concerts. j He will appear at 8:15 p m. in the auditorium of Joseph Lane: Junior High School. Winters is considered one of the most versatile men on the stage today, with honor, on radio and television, a star of operetta and musical comedy. He has recently proved himself equally effective as a dramatic actor. He is reportedly so in demand for opera and concerts, both in the western hemisphere and in Europe, that he maps out his schedule more than a year in advance and rarely finds time in that schedule for a vacation. Born in rural North Carolina, Winters aspired to be a lawyer, but changed his mind when his music teacher at Dunbar High School in Washington. DC, recog nized his singing talent. He entered Howard I'mversity to study music, working his way through. On grad uation in 194t he immediately found modest success, and in 1942 he appeared in Cheryl Crawford's revival of "Porgy and Bess," which ran longer in New York than the original production had. After two years, he joined the armed services and began appearing at the Care Society Uptown along with such notables as Susan Heed, pianist Mary Lou Williams and comedi enne Imogene Coca. He jumped lo stardom on Broadway in the all ti l. revue. "Call Me Mister," staying until 1947. For the next several seasons, he loured the country widely on the concert circuit. In 1948 he made his debut with the New York City Opera Co. as Amonasro in, Verdi's 'Aida," and many more top per formances followed. He digressed from his singing career to appear in Cheryl Craw ford's oroduction of "The Long .n Zt Retarded Child Meet SA FRANCISCO ( AP) Mick ey Cohen is free on bail today, the first inmate of the federal Government's Alratrat Island prison in San Francisco Bay ever lo be so released.

But this is the kind of creativeness the Standard School Broadcast inspires. Currently, the program's theme is "Music Passport to the World." Using our listening guide, teachers relate music to geography, history, art, folklore, literature. This helps children gain insight into the life and culture of the peoples of the world. It leads to better and quicker understanding of both the music and the other studies. By playing and dramatizing all types of music front symphony to jaz, Thailand dances to Broadway hits, the program adds a new. delightful dimension to learning. We started this program 33 yean ago, nerer dreaming our listening family would grow to include 2Vj million children in classrooms. Now countless adults, too, have discovered how entertaining and informative the broadcasts are at home. If you'd like to know why Uie pro gram has such wide appeal, try tuning in on Thursdays.
