accomplished technique of the actors,
being unanimous In the opinion that
this will prove to be the most out
standing of the many SONS dramatic
presentations.
The enterprises of the normal drama
department have always offered an
opportunity for southern Oregon play
goers to view a number of produc
Hons which would otherwise be un
available and which have provided a
welcome addition to the cultural ac
tivities of the valley.
"Emperor Jones" Is a highly emo
tional drama of the psychological ef
fect of a fearful conscience on the ac
tions and life of an egotistic, cruel
and too-ambitious negro Pullman
conductor and murderer, competently
played by Bobert Steadman. Special
efforts have been put forth by Direc
tor Angus L. Bowmer and Mrs. Bow
mer to make this an unusually Inter
esting presentation.
Place of production la the school
auditorium In Ashland.
'spring Style
Notes from Paris
Although weather recently has not
been conducive to a springlike atmos
phere, seasons are lessors to milady,
whether or not the weather chooses
to be fitting, and spring clothes have
definitely captured ;iie limelight. i
PARIS (A) Day frocks appearing In
the Paris pageant of advance spring
fashions staged by belong were fash
ioned of wool and of plain or cloque
crepe in such colors as black, navy,
green and hyacinth blue. They were
cut on slender l:ne but with more
skirt fullness than many straight tight
models seen In new collections.
Their necklines were almost always
high, sometimes Jutting out under
the chin In two circular tabs faced
with white, again molding close to
the throat with two long tassels
hanging In the back. Several were
finished with neck accents of a soft
light color, as the long sided raped
scarf of a black dress faced Inside
with shell pink eatlu.
Drapery played a big role In eve
ning frocks, designed of sheer doubte
mouasellnes and silk crepes In tones
of black, white, vivid green, red, sap
phire, navy and violet. Many gowns
were deaigned with shirred body dra
ping molding the dress to the figure.
- A number were finished with long
draperies which floated back from a
high swathed front neckline or fell
from under the arms to the knees
and looped back to the shoulders
again. A few of the sheerer crepes
were spangled with tiny glass stones
which sparkled like Jewels and others
were accented with gold kid belts
studded with colored stones.

Poultry and Dairy
Producers P rot tt
By Safeway Drive
Dairymen and poultry producers, as
well as consumer, will map the bene
fits of the next Intensive week-long
farmer-consumer sales campaign to
be launched by Bafeway Stores, April
17. The sale will extend from April
17 to 35, inclusive, and has' been
planned to 'stimulate consumption of
milk, butter, eggs and cheese, ac
cording to J. P. Haws, Bafeway man
ager at Medford.
Theso farmer-consumer drives on
selected food products were Inaugu
rated by Snfeway for the double pur
pose of aiding both the producer and
consumer, said Mr. Haws, and have
been vitally helpful In relieving con
gested markets and conferring greater
food values on consumers.
"In selecting dairy and poultry
products for the forthcoming sale,
Safeway recognized that dairymen and
poultry rnlsera present a tremendous
proportion of rural America." Mr.
Haws stated. "Their operations are
of great Importance In practically
every state of the Union; furthermore,
their products contain essential food
requirements without a proper per
centage of which public health would
suffer. This especially true in the
case of children.'
In a similar campaign staged by
Safeway last year, cheese was not in
cluded, but It Is to be bracketed with
milk, butter arid eggs this year, be
cause It is a logically related Item.
"Safeway's Homemakers' Bureau.
Oakland, will cooperate with the
forthcoming sales event by mailing
to housewives upon receipt of a
stamped self-adressed envelope, spe
cial tented recipes calling for the use
of milk, butter, eggs and cheese, Mr.
Hawa announced. "These recipes, of
course, wilt be free for the asking."
