JACKSON SAVINGS It LOAN ASSOCIATION 126 East Mala St., Medford, Oregon Combined Chorus and Bands Present Brilliant Program By Mrs. E. E. Gore Aware that something very unusual and important to the community was taking place, an eager and enthusiastic audience of parents, teachers, music su pervisors and music lovers, crowded the Holly theatre Fri day night to hear the combined chorus and band of the Rogue River valley in concert. All were under the distinguished leadership of Walter C. Welke and Charles W. Lawrence, well known band and chorus experts from the University of Wash ington. - For weeks the various groups, under the instruction of local teachers, had been familiarizing themselves with the program numbers and had been afforded the privilege of rehearsing for three consecutive days some of the greatest music of all time under the capable and unselfish direction of national known di rectors. The guest conductors were able to focus attention on details of Interpretation and style. The chorus ' and band com bined numbered about 300 and the program was definitely nationalistic. Warren D. Allen, dean of music at Stanford, who was recently heard here, ad vised teachers to go through the books and "segregate the vital and expressive music from the trivial and weak." This had evidently been done and while there was variety, co ordination and something for all to enjoy, the soul of the thing seemed to radiate from each member. Beautiful effects were pro duced by "Popule Mens" and the traditional "Silent Night" which were sung antiphonally, two choirs answering each other with contrasting phrases. The folk music of England, Germany, the Ukraine; chorales, original and modern settings of Chinese poetry; the spirituals of the Negro; the ritualistic service of the early church; Italy, Aus tralia, Brahms, and finally Bach himself, all helped to build the program into freshness and vigor and also served to hold up the standard for the presen tation of the best in music. Reduction of th number of brasses and addition of more wood-winds gives the modern high school band a new color and this coupled with definite other changes in instrumenta tion, gives the organization an opportunity somewhat orches- trial in effect. The precise at tack, brilliant but rich tone quality were also most interest ing, as also were the contrast- bits of solo work usually re quiring outside help that were well done by the band mem bers. The plaque awarded the Med ford band for outstanding work at the state conference in Port land last spring was publicly presented by Mr. Welke to Wil son Wait, director of the band. Encouraged by outstanding interest and community support, and as a means of providing a focal point for future musical activities the local directors are looking forward to a perman ent chorus, recruited from the resources of the valley which shall be ready and able to ap pear on programs with artists desiring local support. Many of the young partici pants, it is said, are the grand children of musical people who put on the first adult music .. ..$2,300 five-bedroom M0. COUNTY FEDERAL festival in Medford in 1898.

(JP) A Jury of five women and seven men, nine of whom said they were parents, tonight deliberated the fate of a 22-year old accused of turning on the gas and leaving his 16-months-old daughter to die in the kitchen while he and his wife went to see the film play "Unexpected Father." The prosecution demanded the death penalty for John Frederick Wunders and in final arguments asked the Jury "what manner of man is it that would confess he killed his child if he were innocent?" Wunders testified he had con fessed to police to save his wife from strenuous questioning. Later he repudiated the confes sion. During the prosecution s final address to the Jury Wun ders' comely young wife rushed from the courtroom and court attaches said she had become ill and later collapsed In a rest room. A pretty former high school sweetheart of Wunders testified during the trial that Wunders told her a few months ago he did not love his wife and did not know who was the father the child. Wunders said the girl was jealous and "started the story" herself. Order Speed Boats Washington, Dec. 9.
