A rainbow that half- haloed the skies in the pink haze of Tuesday evening . . . it had yellow for a sun suit, blue for a street dress, lavender for a housecoat, and g r e e n pale green -for a diaphanous danc ing dress with deep purple pan sies woven into a bracelet and ring, and pink for the flush on cheeks of a girl who is happy . . .

A jingle w e n t through my mind the other day at mess; In an idyllic setting on the banks of the Deschutes river in the heart of Bend’s City park, the Camp Abbot ERTC band, under direction of Warrant Of ficer Charles S. Spalding will present the first in a series of open-air band concerts Sunday from 1630 to 1800. The 25 soldier-musicians will play a variety type program— “ pop” melodies, light classics and several “long hair” or mas ter compositions. Lasting an hour, the concert is being pre sented following a request by the Bend USO to provide such entertainment for the influx of Abbot soldiers and troops par ticipating in 4th Army maneu vers. Bend's city management is co operating with the USO and the Post Special Service Office in staging the concert. Women of the Methodist Church will serve refreshments. Mr. Robert E.
