THE annual music festival, which
1 yearly draws some 1200 to
1400 public school children to par
ticipate. and capacity crowds as
spectators to the Southren Oregon
College of Education campus, will
be ii'-i'i I n re April 20 and 21.
Originated by the normal school
music department to foster in
creased interest in music on the
part of both public school children
and teachers, the festival has not
only met an enthusiastic res)x>nse
from the schools themselves, but
has proved, by the hearty support
it has received, to be a very popu
lar feature of the normal school's
annual program for the public.
This year will mark the 10th anni
versary of the annual event, the
eighth under the direction of Miss
I .oui.se Woodruff of the music
staff.
Jackson. Josephine, Klamath
and Imke county grade and high
school children take part in this
music fete, in which ensemble
numbers are given primary em
phasis rather than competitive se-

dents increased pleasuie in group
participation.

AS FIRST ACTION
MOTION pictures of the McDon
ald basin ski area taken by
members of the Rogue Snowmen
on a recent snow exploration party
| into the mountains back of Ash
land will be shown at a Chamber
of Commerce open forum meeting
. in the Lithia hotel dining room,
starting at 6:30 p. m. Tuesday,
April 11.
The pictures will be brought
here by the Rogue Snowmen in
an effort to crystallize interest in
the possibilities of the area as a
snow sports mecca and provide for
forest service development of a
roadway into the basin, which is
described as “far superior” to
snowfields available at Crater
Lake and other southern Oregon
and northern California points,
"Easily 4000 skiers could be ac-
commodated in the area at one
lime," 1 reported the exploration
party, “ ‘ 1 and ideal snow and slope
conditions exist which would offer
varied and well adapted runs for*
novice or experienced skiers.”
The McDonald basin is located
19 miles from Ashland, by road,
via Talent and the Wagner Gap
logging road to Freezeout cabin.
At present about five and one-
fourth miles of forest trail with
easy grade must be traversed to
reach the basin, which is west of
i and adjacent to Mt. Ashland.
The open forum meeting will be
an informal banquet, following
which the motion pictures will be
projected and accompanied by ex-
I planations and information by
members of the party which ex
plored and photographed the area.
All Chamber of Commerce mem
bers and others interested in the
subject are being invited to at
tend the banquet by Chamber
1 President C. M. Litwiller.
