FLYING SAUCERS
A friend of our said the other day, “I've always
assumed that interplanetary communication would
come some time, but I’m not really prepared lor it.
We’re not really prepared for it either, and alter giv
ing it a bit of thought we wonder just how many folks
are. Buck Rogers, and some of Jules Verne's characters
can play about the planets all they wish but the maj
ority of worldlings are most likely going to be quite
happy to keep their feet on terra firma for sonic time
yet.
A thousand explanations have been advanced for the
phenomenon of the flying discs. A former Ashland re
sident. Dave Johnson, who is now flying editor of the
Idaho Daily Statesman, is out in the wide blue yonder
with a high powered movie camera and the gentleman
Kenneth Arnold who first sighted the discs. They arc
seeking either more discs or disc tracks.
Until an explanation of the celestial visitors is made
there will be wild rumors ami more rumors concern
ing them. We hope someone runs one to the ground
pretty soon. This suspense is terrific.
BAND CONCERT
Like an echo out of the past comes the clear note of
the trumpet. Borne on the evening air it carries past
the spectators and on out into the far reaches of the
park where sit the shy young lovers and the old folks
who prefer the clear notes which distance lends to
baud music.
From the streets of the city, far blocks away, come
the muted sounds of traffic, but the sound barely pene
trates into the semi-circle of music lovers who sit on
blankets on the damp evening grass.

At one time in America each crossroads village, each
hamlet, each small town, and each city had its band.
Today in most of America’s communities the bandshell
is all that remains to remind visitors and inhabitants
of the city band. The members of the Silver cornet Miss B arb ara T errill w ho has

The cities w’hich have bands remain the richer. The
nostalgia which comes from the sound of a band on the
summer night air is a rich sensation The Ashland city

one will not find anyw’here else in the world.

Now, on the West coast, a few stock companies are
appearing. One of the most important of these is the
Shakespearean theater in Ashland which is being re
vived again this year after a period of inactivity
brought on by a local fire and a world holocaust.
Directed by Angus Bowmer, dramatics instructor
at Southern Oregon college, the Shakespearean festi
val, as it is called, will draw students and Shakespear
ean enthusiasts from all over the North American land
mass. Already the ranks of the group which will pre
sent this summer series of plays has been swelled by
the addition of Canadian actors from Vancouver,
British Columbia.
The plays are presented in the original Shakespear
ean fashion, without any cutting or special adaptation.
Bowmer, who is among the few Shakespearean experts
to produce plays in this fashion, points out that by
following the original manner of presentation the time
of production is shortened and the plays are presented
much more dramatically and with an authentic Eliza
bethan air.
