Growing from a small group of 35 to almost SO players over a period of four years, it is said that the orchestra has how reached a more professional stage. The group can really be called a "little symphony in that al most ail instruments used in a standard small symphony are used. The greatest part of the orchestra is taken up by the string choir of 26 players and consists of five separate sections. The first violins carry the mel ody, the second violins play a harmony part which is the equiv alent to the alto section of a chorus, the violas and the cellos are the equivalent to the tenor and bass sections of a. chorus and the string bass players augment the cello parts and provide a foundation for the entire orches tra. The woodwind and brass sec tions of the orchestra are used for color and to bring out the tone painting in music. The woodwind section of the high school orchestra consists of two flutes, one oboe, two clarinets and three saxophones and the brass instrume nts are three trumpets, two french horns and three trombones. The latter two sections of the orchestra are oft en given solo passages of short duration and also fill in the har mony to add to the richness of ympnonlc music. It is announced that the or chestra will present a varied pro gram. The opening selections will be on the classical order and in the second half of the orches- Carnation MILK-NOW Carnation INSTANT WHEAT! i 'Wednefday, January 25. 1930 high ichool't Inatrum.nUl muiic and Clubs tral program the group will pre sent music written during the present century and termed mod ern or popular music. The concert will open with "Lucio Sllla Overture" by W. A. Mozart and continue with Schu bert's "Ave Maria" in which the first violin section of eight play ers, led by Miss Joyce Montgom ery, will be featured as soloists, accompanied by the remainder of the orchestra. "Introduction to Act III, Lohengrin" will fol low, this being an orchestral work from Richard Wagner's op era "Lohengrin." Throughout the greater part of this composi tion the melody is given to the brass and woodwind players while all string sections play an accompaniment figure in trip lets. The string section will play a ?roup of three numbers. The irst will be "Menuet" by Valen sin and in "Pizzicato Caprice" by Barnard all players lay down their bows and pluck the strings with the finger to get a novel tone effect. The last number of the group will be the popular "Some Day." Last two numbers are descrip tive pieces telling a story. "Fox Hunt" carries all the memories of the hunt with the call of the hunters' horns, the crack of the guns and the chase through the woods. The last number is by the American composer, Morton Gould, who in his "Hill Billy" depicts a strictly American idi-. om.

Giving arguments for and against the measure, he made it clear that Oregon is not one of the states to be benefited most in case of its passage. In fact, he stated, Oregon and other west ern states would pay in more than they would receive in edu cational aid. Oregon would pay into the federal fund approxi mately $7 million and receive in educational aid approximately $1 million. In the deep south the story would be very different, Mr. Becken explained, since the funds will be distributed upon the basis of need. He deplored the fact that there are 4,000,000 children In the United States not attending school because there are no schools for them to attend, giving this condition as one of the strongest reasons for support of the measure. There are many fieople. he stated, opposed to the egislation in the fear that it would bring about federal con trol of education. Politicians, he pointed out, are divided on the issue, Eisenhower, usually lib eral, opposed to it, and Taft, usu ally conservative, for it. Turning to the state picture, Mr. Becken complimented the Parent-Teacher association for its part in passage of the bus bill and reminded his listeners that the bill to increase the basic school support allotment to $80 per child will be up for the peo ple's approval in 1950. Medford's school tax millage is down this year, decreasing from 31.9 mills to 31 mills, he informed the or ganization, pointing out that the increase In taxes here comes from an Increase in assessed val uation of property, which has climbed from $16,000,000 to $18,400,000. There will be a still greater in crease in school attendance in Oregon in '52 and '53, due to the birthrate, which is affecting schools throughout the nation, and to the constant migration in to Oregon, he said. Mr. Becken was introduced by Mrs. Riley Thomson, president of the Jackson unit. His talk was followed by a program of mu sic, presented by Albert Hunte mann of the junior high school faculty in the absence of I, A. Mirick, director of music. In cluded were a violin solo by Ver non Dahle: violin duet, Doris Ryn and Priscilla Schafer; vio lin duet. Kenneth Myers and Donna Hideman; clarinet duet, by Arthur Putney and Dicky Wayburn, and numbers by the clarinet section composed of Dicky Wayburn. Arthur Putney, Kenneth Hulburt, Garry Godden, Norma Bendickson. Louise Har wood, Jimmy Heath and Larry Coggins. Piano accompanist for the program was Sue Donna Doolan. ,' A demonstration o t modern arithmetic-aims was given by Don Davis of the Jackson faculty, who emphasized that the first aim was to give the chil dren the arithmetic they are go ing to use. Mrs. Victor Birdseye of the advisory committee on juvenile delinquency, explained the proc esses through which a juvenile progresses after committing what is defined as a "delinquent act, one not tolerated by society and against the law." The juvenile court's program throughout the process, she stressed, is to keep the delinquent from repeating the act.

It is claimed that to build a road here would take up some eighty feet of the tillable land and would parallel the present paved highway only a few rods away which would be of no use for growing crops. Hugh Mitchell of the Mead ows 'district was a business vis itor here Thursday. He reported that the heavy snowfall in his community had caused the col lapse of two large barns belong ing to the Coulter family in one of which were some hogs and two cows which were crushed by the falling timbers. The snow also flattened sev eral barns in the Sams Valley district according to O. T. Wil son who is feeding some cattle in that locality.
