Opening with the first move ment of the beautiful melodious "Unfinished Symphony," the most famous of Schubert's works, the audience was favor ably impressed. It seemed particularly timely that John R. Knight, director, should present the work of an American contemporary com poser, Joseph Wagner's Concerto in G. Minor. This selection re vealed the hand of one well versed in the technique of or chestra procedure and under standing of instrumental effects. Refreshingly welcome was the piano soloist, 13-year old Roger Wolf, a pupil of Roberta Ward Bebb, who gave a bril liant performance of this new concerto on the Baldwin grand Diano purchased this year by the high school. Master Wolf played with ex ceptional rapidity as well as .laritir onrl nhvlnuslv DOSSeSSeS good musicianship which scored his success. The orchestral sup port in the concerto was also splendid. The outstanding renditions by the high school chorus under ths mnnhlB direction of Miss Floy Young, proved worthy ad ditions to the symphony s reper toire. Thi, rpmaindor of the Droeram was devoted to Wagner's "Pil grim Chorus," Massenets "Ele- nlo' nnrl VprHi's "T.H Travlata." all performed with praiseworthy interpretation. Thi rnnrlndintf number. Tuc- cl's "Danza Chilcana y Estilo," was especially spirited and eag erly received by the large aud ience. In answer to the applause, "Hungarian Dance" No. 8, by Brahms, was given. For the marked success 01 thin pnnrurt much credit is due John R. Knleht the founder and conductor of the orchestra. With no thought of platitude, it should be said that musical Med ford and the valley is greatly Indebted to him. During the evening, A. H. Banwell spoke briefly regarding the excellent scries of three musicals to be presented here in the near future by Hunt theaters. Zonta club sponsored the con cert.

Ye Poets Cornei "Gold Star" Mother. Well we remember, with hearts of woe. We walked where the yellow pop ples blow. And counted markers, row on row, In a foreign field so long ago. The only thought to ease the pain Was this, they did not die In vain, For memories of them should never wane. Since right prevailed and peace should relga. Now, where our soldier laddies He, War cloud gather and bombers fly. Oh. what mockery it la to men. Tli at the war they fought must be fought again. But not by their son, may they never stand In the foreign fields of another land, To fight for a cause they think Is right, For nothing Is settled at all by might. Far better to vow neutrality, ' Nor be overcome by sympathy. And keep out of war, that others . may see. The world WOULD be safe for DEMOCRACY. By P. Lincoln. Thanksgiving Day. You say you want to be A tall beanstalk, With gaudy pumpkin shoes, To make folks talk. Then you could place Beneath the blazing eaves Of gold and silver flecks. The gayly tied-up sheaves; The brown cornstalks. You want a Piper Cub At close of day. To bomb salvia's bed With sunset's ray. Raise your Thanksgiving prayer Above the wishing-well As in my sturdy verse, This tale I tell. Mae Stafford. 1 Bullet in Heart. Johannesburg, South Africa. UP M. B. Smeaton, a farm er living near Darnall, in Natal, has had a bullet in his heart for 23 years, but he enjoys good health. He was in the world war with the 2nd South Afri can infantry and was wounded in July, 1918. The bullet en tered the right side and lodged in the pericardium. I, HEARD BY COURT The civil suit of Irene Camper and Lester Camper, 'against W. A. Albrecht and others, for re- scindment of a contract involv ing sale of the Edgewater auto camp, on the Pacific highway near Gold Hill, is underway in circuit court before Judge H. D. Norton. By agreement between At torney George A. Codding, repre senting plaintiffs and S. Sher man Smith of Grants Pass, rep resenting the defendants, the case is being heard without call ing a jury. Twelve witnesses were called by the plaintiff yesterday, chiefly in support of the plain- tiffs' contention there were "mis- j representations," and equipment ; of the auto camp was not in first-; class condition. Witnesses also ' testified to the amount of busi- ( ness handled at the place. It was expected the defense would open this afternoon and present as many witnesses as ' the plaintiffs. Most of the wit nesses were from the Gold Hill district. j Communications The School Budget To the Editor: Now that the park bond elec tion is over and 1108 of us regis tered an emphatic NO on it, I am going to give you anotner dose that is a whole lot worse. Our school budget has a far greater budget amount EVERY Year that can be eliminated and not hurt our schools at all, and I am going to give you some fig ures and comments on the bud get to be passed on, and with these figures bear in mind that our sewage disposal plant wants two clocks to tell time by and that had to be an item in their budget, and also that when the average school district wants a $1000 playshed they have a BOND ELECTION on it. So here goes: Section 5 of the budget is maintenance and re pairs repair and maintenance of buildings and grounds, $13, 500; total $17,000. Section 8 reads New Buildings, $15,000; alteration of buildings, $5000; new furniture, equipment and replacements $4000; assessments for betterments, $4000; other capital outlays, $2500; total $30, 500. And to cap all this is sec tion 10: Emergency $5000, or a grand total of above amounts of $52,500 and that is not only this year alone. The figures of the last six budgets are as follows: For repairs and maintenance, a total of $71,200 and for article 8, capital outlay, $121,800, or a grand total of $193,000, and in those figures is included $50,000 for new buildings in the last three budgets, and not a single bond election, or even a protest from anyone. Now why in the world it should take a fifth of a million dollars to keep up our school equipment in only 6 years after we gave them almost a full set of new schools in the last few years is more than I can see. Now if you property owners that voted NO on the park propo sition really want to protest i something, be out next Monday 1 "Hey,Mlstf I Givemeahand?"He'shivingrtoubIe tying his cruiser to the dock, but we have things ship shape in a jiffy.
