Miss Whitney Home
From University
Of California
TEEPING UP VTITH the
Xv. world, fellow citizens of
that particular planet, is no
longer child's play. A nation
naps and look what happens.
A business snoozes for just one
second. Bingo! it wakes up
a creaking, white-bearded Rip
Van Winkle.
This is the job of manage
ment: to match stride for stride
with the speeding times. Be
cause an oil industry, then
geared to the oil-lamp, once
survived the wrench of a world
shifting from horse-and-buggy
to automobile, you might think
the crisis was past. Yet each
day brings new problems.
Until recently the most eco
nomical way to move petro
leum products from refinery to
widespread retail outlets was
to dot the countryside with dis
tributing plants. This method
is even now becoming out
moded and expensive requir
ing management to replace it
gradually or face a jolting, un
avoidable shift later on.
Here management must keep
up with a world that demands
lons-ranee trucks operating on
improved highways. It's a world
that won't wait. It's a world
that won't do any of the man
agement's worrying about the
protection of employees, stock
holders, and customers alike.
Nor will it relax its rule that
gasoline must be both cheap
and the easiest thing in the
world to buy.

Leave Soon For
Portland To Live
Miss Valeria Whitney, who
makes her home at the Royal

tor of the Berlin Opera com
pany. The San Francisco opera bal
let was the guest of Pagct-Fred-ericks
at the Greek theatre,
where a performance was staged
for his class. Medford was well
represented, for Miss Whitney
met Janet Reed, now prima bal
lerina of the company, Zoe Dell
Lantis, former pirate girl of the
exposition, now one of the bal
lerinas of the company, and

IN PLAY SERIES
WINS APPLAUSE
A humorous and complicated
plot, fast moving narration and
skillful handling of characteriz
ation combined to please those
witnessing William Shake
speare's "Comedy of Errors" in
Ashland's outdoor civic Eliza
bethan theater last night. The
performance will be repeated
Friday night, Auguts 16.
As a motive for the recently
adapted "Eoys from Syracuse,"
the original version was full of
complications centering around
mistaken identities of four char
acters. Richard Farmer and
Richard Schuchard handled the
characters of Antipholus of Sy
racuse and Antipholus of Ephe
sus with tmonthness and deft
ness. James Baughman, as Dro
mlo of Syracuse, the "good man
Friday" to the Syracusian char
acter, took too honors in handl
ing a dual role.
Excellent performances were
turned in by Harry Moses, as
Solinus; D e 1 m a r Solem, as
Pinch: Douglas Hubbard as An.
gelo; Burk Yadon, as Balthazer;
Joe Beach as the Merchant, and
Eldridge Gray as Dromio of
Ephesus.
In the feminine roles. La
Murle Beck was outstanding as
Adriana, the harassed wife; Har
riet Uecker took equal bows
as Luciana. Smooth character
izations were given by Ninon
New York. Aug. 13. AJ.R1
