Next week is Music week over the entire nation, as well as in Ashland where the annual Southern Ore gon Normal school music festival is finishing a tri umphant series, and the event arrives midst a sinceie welcome on the part of those persons who enjoy melody. „ Music takes unto itself many forms with “jazz at the bottom of the scale and deep classics at the top. But the great wealth of pleasure and inspiration for most of us lies between the two dogmatic extremes. If for no other reason, then the musical commemor ation of one of each 52 is a fine thing because it em phasizes the good side of music and snubs the shrill hi-de-hohoho-o-o-o of swing and other silly manner isms of the times. Sure, popular “hot” music has its place for those who need blatant impetus for wobbling their hips, shaking their fingers and indulging in a lot of mean ingless dance tripe. Give us the kind of music that has melody and charm and wholesomeness—the kind of music Ash land and all the nation will enjoy especially during Music week. May 1 to 7. ★ ★ ★ and is at that age when a man is old enough to be level-headed and still young enough to be vigorous. Zimmerman is serving his 10th year as circuit judge for Clatsop and Columbia counties. Inasmuch as the supreme court ballot is nonpar tisan, voters will do well to weigh the value of ex perience and physical fitness before deciding on their judgeship selection. TEACHERS WILL Often the complaint is heard that America should AID ART PLANS not buy products and raw materials from other na NO. THE WORLD WON’T BE PERFECT FOR SOME TIME YET! tions, that we should be as nearly self-sufficient as possible. Well, on the face of it, such reasoning sounds like the best of logic. Too, we know that with few excep tions this nation can produce enough raw and manu factured products for every man, woman and child in the country. Yet many are without enough to eat or sufficient clothes to wear, and are wretchedly housed. So, considering these obvious problems, and real izing how little toward their solution ever is actually accomplished, one must realize that it is high time that a New Deal—or any other type of administra tion—explore fully the ways and means to move to ward a leveling-off of the peaks of wealth and valleys of poverty. But the road to Utopia is not a clearly marked trail. Those who would ferret it out must suffer the repeated disappointments of trial and error. And that is exactly what President Roosevelt and his cabinet have been attempting. True, they have run into many blind alleys; some paths were misleading. But with all their failures, Roosevelt and his administration have beeen moving forward with the proper objective as their goal. Most of the harangue and criticism being directed at Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal comes from those who admit the worthiness of the goal, but who insist that the government travel the route which goes by their door. Their delight is poking fun and ridicule at sincere effort, or trying to sway that effort to their advantage. . Even so, we enjoy more advantages than most peoples. These United States may be far from per fect, but leastwise they are out in front of the pro cession which seeks greater human justice. ★ ★ ★ EXPERIENCED SUCCESSOR FOR JUDGE BEAN! Age of candidates has always been a moot ques tion, and this spring voters of Oregon will have Father Time to reckon with in their selection of a judge for position No. 2 in the state supreme court. The incumbent, Judge Henry J. Bean, now is 85 years old and should he succeed himself for the fol lowing six-year term, would be 91 at its completion. Which is getting pretty old, even for a supreme court justice. Bean’s only other experienced opponent, Judge Howard K. Zimmerman, looks back on 48 summers The Funeral Service . . . ’ior Should be a reverent and loving farewell.

Funeral Service Since 1897 IJTWILLER FUNERAL HOME (Formerly Stock’s Funeral Parlor) We Never Close—Phone 32 A course of study in art. which may be adopted for use in the public schools of Oregon, is being planned by a committee selected by the state department of edu cation. with Miss Lucile Burtis of the Normal school art department selecting the suggested art pro jects, and Mrs Una B Inch. Jack- son county rural supervisor, gen eral committee chairman. Miss Burtis has chosen a num ber of units, including portraiture, animal study and the child'a own creative expression. Each unit is divided into appreciation, compo sition and design. An attempt has been made to adapt the various units to the problems encountered in the different types of schools the one-room rural school, the small graded school and the town and city school. This course of study as outlined by Miss Burtis is being sent to a committee composed of art teach ers in selected schools over the state, who are using it in actual practice in their art classes. After its practicability in the classroom has been established it will be adapted for permanent use. The Jackson county committee of art teachers to whom the units have been sent includes Miss Linda Wright of Antelope school. Mrs. Opal Mooter of Reese Creek school, Miss Eleanor Curry of Medford. Miss Alice Kettle of Ash land. Miss Harriet I’ellett of Pros pect. Mrs. Cora Gustin of Derby school and Miss Marjorie Gregory of Central Point. The purpose of this tentative art program is to aid the teacher in selecting art problems appro priate for the various seasons; to proportion art activities so the course is varied and inclusive; to give a broad enough program to allow for choice of problems as well as for adaptation to varying conditions and needs. An exhibit of the work of school children in carrying out this art program will be shown at the Nor ma) school May 14. . Ashland Ni blick i tes Turn Maurauders For McCloud Guests Last Sunday's golf tournament at the local course ended in de cisive one-sided victory for the Ashland divot-diggers who had 45 points to the three gained by the visiting McCloud team. The Cali fornians have been hampered in practice by prevailing bad weather at home. Jean Eberhart, No. 2 Ashlander, turned in a 75 for low card of the day to beat his McCloud oppon ent. Olson. H B. Bentley, top notch club wieidcr and southern Oregon champion for the last two years, carded a 79 to win over Hayes, No. 1 McCloud player. Bentley's win came only after his opponent had halved the first nine holes. The local champ then came back to take the second nine and the 18 for a 2’3 to victory. Eberhart's win netted Ashland a 3-0 aid in final tabulations Seventeen goiters from the northern California town were on hand for the afternoon which saw a total of 62 persons wind up their sport by attending a dinner at the clubhouse sponsored by ladles of the Ashland club.
