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- leettotM in order to give the stu­ dents increased pleasuie in group participation.

NORBY TO STUDY LOCAL SCHOOLS 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. ----------- •------------ (Starting Sunday) "OUT WEST WITH THE HARDYS” • Please Call at The Miner Office for Your Guest Tickets Four Teachers Quit School Posts Here Four members of the Ashland public school system tendered res­ ignations to the school board, ef­ fective at the close of the term, at the board's Tuesday night meet­ ing.
