MEDFORD MATT. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1940. PAGE THREE Society a"d Clubs By Clara Mary Davis Large Crowd Views Night Acquacade At Topsides Over two hundred valley resi dents were present last evening at the Moonlight Acquacade sponsored by the Jackson County League of Women Voters at the beautiful estate of the Alfred S. V. Carpenters. A dozen or more lovely girls, all competent swimmers, per formed in the acquacade, the climax of which was a patriotic scene with streamers of red, white and blue being floated the length of the lighted pool to re cording tunes of "God Bless America." Completing the pic ture were large stars held at the far end of the pool by several of the mermaids. The affair was cleverly open ed by Miss Calista Farrell's spec tacular dive through a large paper hoop. An interesting feature of the evening was the Gay Nineties review in which the bevy of young ladies modeled gowns and other wearing apparel of an early vintage. Particularly noticeable was the contrast in a bathing suit of a generation ago modeled by Miss Calista Farrell and the one in which she ap peared in the acquacade. Between scenes of the acqua cade were other swimming fea tures. Dick Sleeter's exhibition of a variety of difficult dives brought loud applause from the audience. Later Mr. Slecter and Miss Marjorie Kelly formed a team to display feats of rhyth mic swimming, as did the Misses Peggy Scherer and Julie Car penter. No water show is complete without a bit of comedy and this was amply supplied by Harry Thurman, Wilson Church and Harlow Carpenter whose funny antics were appreciated especially by the slightly damp spectators whose ringside seats were vulnerable places for water sprays when the comedians suc cessfully executed a number of pile dives from the board Into mid-pool. Following the entire program, guests mingled in the gardens and yard of Topsides. Many tables for bridge were set up in rooms both upstairs and down stairs of the attractive home and refreshments were served. The following acqua belles and models appeared in the highly successful entertainment; The Misses Helene and Jeanne Salade, Peggy, Gardner, Jean Schuler, Susan Vilas, Nina Tut- tle, Patricia and Calista Farrell, Lois Pringle, Nan Tengwald, Deborah Tumy, Julie Carpenter, Peggy Scherer of San Francisco, Cal., Ruddy Hale of Lake Forest. 111., Carol Tengwald, Ann and Phoebe Dean, Patricia Thomp son, Mary Lou Lyman, Alicia Ruhl and Charity Hart. Miss Helene Salade was or ganizer, director and trainer of the unique acquacade and Leon ard Carpenter acted as master of ceremonies. Festival Plans for Next Year Will Be Formed Tonight Plans for the 1941 Shakes pearean Festival will be dis cussed in a meeting of the exe cutive committee of the Festival Association in Ashland tonight at 7:30 p m., according to word received here today. While business heads are winding up the last of the pres ent season, definite moves will be mapped for the continuation of this unique venture through another year. Details are not ex pected to be worked out tonignt, but major phases of production continuation will be taken un der consideration. Financial returns for the sea son which closed last Saturday in Ashland's outdoor civic Eliza bethan theatre have not been tabulated. It is expected that the box office and sponsoring mem bership receipts will be lowered as a result of the disasterous blaze which last Thursday night swept through the dress ing rooms and storage rooms back sta;;e and consumed nearly 60 per cent' of all the costumes. Total extent of the damage is not known although production heads estimate the loss at nearly $2,000. Virtually all the remaining costumes, along with stage props, office equipment and other belongings of the Festival were being classified and stored this week. Both Director Wil liam David Cottrell and Art Di rector Lois M. Bowmer have been busy cataloging the prop erties and storing equipment. Participants in the plays have been returning to their homes the fore part of this week leav ing a barren and forlorn appear ance at the once-busy theatre. A few of the out-of-town play ers are still in Ashland but plan to leave by the end of the week. Results of tonight's meeting will decide what courses will be followed in line with plans for another year. Festival heads believe thit some form of pro gress should be carried on throughout the entire year, in stead of launching all phases of the productions less than three months before presentation dates. The Islands of Trinidad and Cu racao are rich in asphalt and oil depoelta.

Tranquility and freedom from fear was something Trotsky had never known. Born Le Davido vich Bronstein in the village of Yanovka on Nov. 7, 1879. Trot sky was enpaged In revolution ary activity at an aise when most youths are still playing games. At 17 he was leader of a rev olutionary organization called the union of south Russian workingmen. As such he was arrested In January, 1B98, and sent to Siberia for four years. He escaped, wandered about over Europe and finally, in Lon don, met Lenin. He returned to Russia, never ceasing to plot against the czar, and was again exiled to Siberia from whence he again escaped. During the war Trotsky was expelled from France lind in 1917 went to the United States from where he was recalled to aid in establishment of the com munist regime. The quarrel with Stalin after Lenin s death was a long one and Stalin, preferring consolida' tion of Russia's strength to at tempts at world revolution, won a complete victory. From Mexico, denouncing So viet "bureaucracy," Trotsky urged the Russian masses to re bel against Stalin's "deformed and degenerated workers' state He summoned the proletariat of the world to revolution. 'If there is a revolution of the proletariat in France," he said, there will be one in Germany, even In time of war. "I am sure that the only way to have success for the Soviet union is to have revolutions in Germany and Japan. If we admit the Idea of a world war without a social rev olution outside the Soviet, the defeat of the Soviet is inevit able." But world revolution must come, Trotsky felt. "For every 10 workers who stand firm (for revolution)", he said, "there will arise 1U0 more at their sides." Monkeys and chimpanzees shun meat but relish bananas, oranges, .bread, apples and on ions.
