The talented musician played in this city Sunday afternoon to an appreciative audience. Her nroeram embraced a variety of thought, a satisfaction to those who might be curious concern ing the intricacies of the harp and education from the stand point of music history as well as a quality ot expression snow ing the artist's thorough musicianship. The explanatory remarks made by the harpist before each group resulted in the audience being all the more responsive. To many, Zabels Marguerite au Rouet was a high point of the program, a composition per fectly suited for the harp. How ever each number gave added interest and one could certainly not overlook the French com poser Tournier's conception of Jazz Band Pour La Harpe, a revelation in rhythm and tech nical skill. Mrs. Close, who is internation ally known as a harpist will be heard this winter in many coast al towns. If her appearance in this city is indicative of the type of entertainment which the Med ford Musical Society will spon sor in the future the series will inevitably be highly successful. THANKSG1 WE hardly know how, in times like these, to extend Thanksgiving greetings to you.' We don't want to be too sol emn. We don't want to be too gay. Yet this is a year when we all can be especially thankful for the very institution of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day was born amid the bitterest days the Pil grims ever knew. They had been through cold and famine. But a harvest came along in time and they were able to stick it out. For that we can still be thankful. Valley Forge was within the decade when George Washing ton made Thanksgiving Day a national holiday. That this country passed the point of lowest ebb is something for which we cantill be thankful. And Lincoln revived Thanks giving Day at a season when it was indeed possible that this nation might perish from the earth. . Thus-has -Thanksgiving Day- become our greatest synonym for hope. And while we Ml don't want to get too solemn hope is something all of us can use just now. So, if you'll join us, we'll say "Thank you" to Governor Bradford, to George Washington, and to Abraham Lincoln -who never lost hope. Standard Oil Company of California Scott Davis' Motor North Mr. and Mrs. Scott V. Davis and daughter, Marilyn, planned to leave today for 'Portland to visit friends.

Dancing will start at 9:30 and continue until 2. A major at traction this year is Archie Legg's 11-piece orchestra from Yreka, Cal., the band that has a large following in both south ern Oregon and northern Call- tornia. In a letter to Chief Elliott to day Mr. Legg said that in ap preciation of the many engage ments his band receives in Medford he has prepared a special dance and entertain ment program for the Thanks giving ball. He added that a large delegation of dance de votees of Yreka and vicinity would attend. Entertainment will be provided by the soloists of Mr. Legg's orchestra. Purpose of the annual Thanks giving ball is to provide funds for the purchase of material and supplies that the firemen use in repairing and repainting old, discarded toys for Christ-1 mas gifts to poor children. The firemen contribute their time and talent to the project, the Lady Lions assisting by helping to collect the old playthings and by distributing them at Christmas. The fireman are badly in need of old toys now to wbrk on, Chief Elliott said. Not many have been received and unless the playthings start com ing in now there will not be time tnough to work on them, he emphasized in making an other plea for families to de liver battered, old toys to fire headquarters as soon as possi ble. , . . W. R. Godlove described the extensive training given navy flyers as a feature of Tuesday's luncheon-meeting of the Med ford Rotary Club, at Hotel Med ford.

Godlove told of the recently initiated amateur cadet flying courses, available to physically fit college graduates. Those who survive the exacting pre liminary training will receive instruction at Pensacola, he said. Training given naval flyers at the Florida station was then described by Mr. Godlove. This course in which cadets are di vided into five squadrons as they progress in the instruction, includes mastering of both land and sea planes of various types, blind flying, catapult flying, navigation and all tactical ma neuvers. Average cost of Instructing one finished pilot is $40,000, the speaker pointed out. Following the Pensacoln course, flyers are assigned to active duty with the fleet or at some naval base. . "Here the mission becomes the primary consideration and the actual handling of planes a secondary matter," Godlove said. At the completion of this ac tive duty period, flyers have the choice of re-enlisting or of assuming Inactive duty status with the reserve. At luncheon!
