Hill and Son of Bond street, London, the most famous musical instrument shop in the world, the shop where Cregor Piatigorsky purchased his supurb Montagnana 'cello, was recently visited by a former University of Oregon student, Howard Jones, according to a V-mail letter re ceived by Mrs. Ivan Ware of Eu gene. As Piatigorsky is playing in Mc Arthur court Wednesday night, January 19, this letter holds spe cial interest for Eugene music lovers. "While In London I dropped Into Hill's and, spent a couple of won derful hours playing on soma of the finest 'cellos in the world," writes Jones, now a lieutenant with an armored unit stationed In England. "The one I liked best was a Montagnana (brother to the Curtis Institute's and Piatigor sky's). . . That 'cello really did sing and had an enormous tone." The Instrument was priced at $8000. While a music major at the uni versity, Jones played In the Uni versity String Quartet and was a popular soloist at civic and cam pus gatherings.

"It is a fine addition to Eugene industries," he said. The Portland plant of Timber Structures Inc., occupies a 20 acre site and has a prefabrication capacity annually of more than 80 million board feet. It specializes in the prefabrication of wood trusses, arches, and columns. It has supplied many of the emer gency wartime construction proj ects demanded by the govern ment, from blimp hangars to in vasipn barges. Timber Structures, Inc., was started about 10 years ago by Ward Mayer, one of the outstand ing engineers in the country. It was Mayer who pioneered pre fabricated engineering and who developed the timber .connector the modern engineering device which has made wood a competi tor with steel in certain types of construction. , I Eugene Woman- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) for training. Ha returned to Japan on the first exchange ship, and now is running the center. It is a source of deep satisfaction to Miss Cuddeback to know that, whatever esle has happened, her work there Is being continued. When many foreigners were banished. Miss Cuddeback was allowed to con tinue her work in Osaka. Partly, she thinks, this was because she was "only a woman," scarcely to be taken seriously in the view of the military, and also because there was as yet no one trained to take over her work. Rationing was already the rule in Japan, sugar, bread and flour being among scarcities. Miss Cuddeback tells of the kindness of Jaoanese teachers in the center who helped to get these foods for her. In July, 1941, Miss Cuddeback took a vacation trip to the Philip pines, remaining for several months. Through letters, she was advised by friends in Japan that she-would be wiser not to return there, as conditions were growing more threatening to foreigners. She had determined instead to re turn home, but on reaching Shang hai, she was asked to SDend the year still remaining of her five year term, teaching at the Univer sity of Shanghai. She accepted the post of teacher of English and sociology, and enjoyed her work with Chinese students, whom she found especially bright and intelli gent. English is spoken quite gen erally in Shanghai, and she was able to teach in her own tongue. She was here when war broke out in December. There was talk of Immediate Internment, but this was not carried out. She thinks it was because the foreigners in Shang hai, about 1000 Americans and 8000 Britons, would have been a real problem to care for; the Jap anese hoped to repatriate them. Besides, they were restricted with in Shanghai, so that it amounted almost to internment within city limits. Expecting to be allowed to re turn home in September, 1942, when her term with the mission board expired. Miss Cuddeback resigned her teaching position at the University of Shanghai. When sailings repeatedly were post poned, she eventually accepted an other position, this time in the financial department of the Swiss consulate, an "interesting place to work." She was not Interned for an other five months. (Continued Monday) EARLY CANNONS One of the early forms of can non, wrought iron bombards, were set In the ground and could not be aimed.

Fred L. Huber, deputy col lector in charge of the Eugene ; office . of internal revenue, ex- j plained that the available depu-, ties will gladly give any assist- i ance in filling out such forms, ! but that due to a shortage of manpower in the office this help will have to be limited this year : to those taxpayers with unusual j tax problems. j Information which each tax payer must have in order to file j his 1943 Income tax return was summarized as follows by Depu-' ty Collector Huber: 1. Form W-2, showing total ; wages or salaries received and the amounts of victory and with- j holding tax withheld by the am- 1 ployer or employers. Also au other Items of lncoma received I during 1943. ! 2. Copy of the 1942 return, If available, and the amount paid thereon for such year. Copy of form 1129 which has been sent with the 1943 blanks. 3. Copy of form 1040 B S filed by taxpayers in September or December, 1943, and the amounts paid thereon. 4. Taxpayers engaged In busi ness or farming must have in addition to the above, all figures j pertaining to items of Income allowable for deductions, Includ ing depreciations.

Condon Pupils- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) sponsor the project and did. In cooperation with Shumaker and Good, the parents decided on these improvements for the 40x70 shed: enclose the open side, put in six large windows, screened for protection against basketballs; cut an appropriate door; level the floor and concrete it with a smooth-service top; provide three 500-watt lights with screen-basket protection; procure a heating sys tem and build a fireplace if pos sible. The idea looked good to the parents, who figured that each family would be willing to con tribute. $2. That first night, they passed the hat and collected $53.50. They figured the job could be done for $500, immediately ob tained both $300 for materials and enthusiastic encouragement from the school board. Solicitation of parents realized $236.50 for labor. To date, all parts of the work have been completed, except for installation of the large-jacketed stove furnished by the board, and of the lights, construction of chim ney and fireplace, final painting and decoration of the walls. Parents have three objectives In the program: good sportsman ship, leadership, and character building. They are encouraging all school parents to let their youngsters take part, but empha size that, if the child is needed at home, he should be kept there. They are working out a 'merit system, to encourage initiative, whereby awards such as a "C" (for Condon) will be given, those making achievements. Dads volunteered to direct the program, supervising games and activities during after school hours, until a permanent leader can be named. One of the school moth' ers already has been selected to handle the girls' program. Din ners, plays, and other events are scheduled. Principal Good believes the program embodies three funda mental principals: 1. The community favors keep ing children In the community as much as possible. 2. Community activities will foster a united spirit and prevent wartime tendencies of community disintegration. s. -Home is tne thing, ana a program which keeps the elemen tary school child's activities eo ordinated with those of his home are preferable to others. "There's no doubt that this pro gram will work and be beneficial to our young people," says Pruv clpal Good. "It is working now, ana It snows what power a com munlty can have when it is welded in purpose and takes democratic action."
