Oratorio Group
Will Appear in
2 Performances
Second annual presentation of
Mendelssohn's "Elijah," by the
Central Oregon Oratorio society,
will be Monday, May 16. at 8 p.m.
in the auditorium of John Tuck
school, Redmond, and Tuesday,
May 17, at 8 p.m. in the Bend high
school gymnasium. Under the
direction of Don P. Pence, a
chcrus of 170 voices and a 38
piece orchestra will take part in
the production.
The stirring music tells one of
the most coloful of all Biblical
stories, that of the Prophet Elijah,
who hid in a cave and was fed
meat and bread by a raven. The
part is sung by Rev. Allan B.
Philp. baritone. Other featured
soloists are Mrs. Albert Allen,
Mrs. Wesley Baker and Rev.
Walter Naff. Fred Dallas is con
cert master and Mrs. T. D. Sexton
is accompanist
Story Familiar
Woven into the music will be the
story of Elijah's restoration to
life of a widow's son, and a song
of joy by the grateful mother.
A high point is Elijah's challenge
of the priests of Baal, and the
fruitless efforts of the non-believers
to produce a sign of fire. The
familiar Bible story, recounted in
song, tells how Elijah prepared
an offering and God sent down
fire to consume the entire altar.
The followers of Baal repent and
turn to God, and their chorus of
thanksgiving is sung in jubilant
gratitude for rain, which had been
withheld as a punishment for sin.
The dress rehearsal will be Sun
day at 2 p.m. in the John Tuck
auditorium in Kedmond, fense
stressed today. It was originally
planned to hold the dress rehear
sal in Bend. Final regular re
hearsal was last night In the gym
nasium. '
The public will be welcome to
attend either performance, offi
cers of the society have stressed.
Admission will be cost-free, but
an offering will be received to de
fray costs of the production.

tax limitation law. The proposed
levy is $6,905.82 higher than the
$1&8,254.90 levy for 1948-49.
Improvements Planned .
Members of the county court
requested that the $3000 for the
old folks home be granted so that
a laundry room, cistern, and au
tomatic water sprinkler system
may be installed there. The
sprinkler system would be used
for irrigating a lawn at the home.
C. L. Allen, county judge, pro
posed that the cistern be con
structed of concrete but other
members of the board were of
the opinion that a ditch and
pumping system would be ade
quate for the requirements. Allen
told board members that COI wa
ter would be available for irrigat
ing the home grounds.

Rivalry

Finally, he said,, both are "guil

ing to achieve their ends."
Miller listed the National Recla

more powerful lobbies doing yeo

Hoover, Roosevelt and Truman

they have consistently by-passed
the White House and appealed di

He said the engineers cvjn now

Drainage District
Beaten in Election
Madras, May 11 The pro
posed creation of a drainage dis
trict for 12,000 acres of Agency
plains land of the North unit of
the Deschutes project was killed
at a special election held last
week and characterized by a
small vote.
Harold J. Eldemlller, secretary
of the Jefferson Water Conserv

in the district itself, the vote was
26 to 11 against the proposed dis
trict, which would have taken

8 to 5 for the creation was re
corded. It was necessary for an
affirmative vote both inside and
outside the district in order to
gain approval, however.
