Society and clubs Winter Concert Presented Friday By Student Groups Indicating loyalty to the school as well as interest in the programs which the instrumen tal department produces, a fair sized audience gathered at the senior high school auditorium Friday night for the annual winter concert of the band and orchestra, disregarding a stormy night. The orchestra, conducted by Miss Melba Chehak, opened the program with Mozart's "Lucio S i 1 1 a Overture," and this group's second number, Schu bert's "Ave Maria" was one of the best of the evening. The first violin section was featured as soloists. Although the play ers made a shaky start on Wag ner's "Lohengrin," (Introduc tion to Act HI) they recovered and marie a commendable show ing of this colorful composition. The audience responded the least to "Some Day," a number by Whistler-Hummel in the popular classification, played by the strings alone, applauding more for Valensin's "Menuef and ."Pizzicato Caprice." McKin Icy's "A Fox Hunt" was an in teresting descriptive piece of music, but the closing number, Morton Gould's "Hill Billy" failed to bring much response from the audience. The band program had spe cialty numbers by small groups from the brass section inter woven with the more conven tional marches and overtures by the entire section, and these brought much applause from the listeners. Keith Mirick, Wal ter Kendall and Ned Landers were featured in a cornet trio playing "The Three Kings" by Walter Smith and Raoul Mad dox and Henry Padgham ap peared in a trombone duet, "Swiss Boy" arranged by Paul DeVille. The Russian Folk song "Dark Eyes", was well done and well received by the audience, but Leroy Artderson's "Fiddle Fad die," heard often on the radio and usually played by string groups, was one of the band's weaker numbers. t The band brought the pro gram to a rousing close with a composition entitled "Early California" by Izaac which in corporated many familiar songs of gold rush days in the state of California. As an encore, the band played the beloved "Wild Irish Rose." I. A. Mirick. suDervisor of In. strumcntal music, conducts the bands and Keith Mirick was student conductor for the band's first number. Members of the orchestra hope that proceeds from the concert will be largely used for a uniform fund for that group. Orchestra members, always en. vious of the dashing band at tire, have lone talked of uni forms and remain unconvinced when parents and teachers point out that the evening gowns worn by the girls for evening concerts, with the dark trousers and white coats of the boys, make a pretty orchestra picture. Miss Barbara Burns' narra tion and comments added much to the evening's enjoyment, and her careful, clear enunciation made it possible to hear and un derstand all she said. O.S.

If so, don't forget to moke a deep study of the plays of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. He was the first great modern Brit ish playwright to definitely state he wrote for the box of fice. He was very clever at originating box office titles. As for examples: "The second airs. Tangueray" and "The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith." George Bernard Shaw, when he started to write plays, spent much time studying Pinero's technique. So why not you? Please Note.

Young Republican Group Approves Reapportionment Portland, Ore., Jan. 30 (U.R) The Oregon Young Republican club's executive board today in dorsed a "slide-rule" compromise plan to re-apportion the Oregon legislature. Previously, the Oregon Farm Federation bureau and seed growers approved the same com promise plan which would: 1. Enlarge the senate to 36 seats with the election of sen ators from districts set up on a basis of population; 2. Provide for the election of representatives on the basis of one from each county with 3o others elected from the senato rial districts. Neubergir Has Plan Other plans to reapportion the legislature according to the state constitution's requirements, in clude State Sen. Richard -Neu-berger's measure for a strict ap portionment according to popu lation, and a "little federal plan" which would elect one house on the basis of population and the other on the basis of counties. In another action, the Young Republicans Instructed Steve An derson, their delegate to the na tional executive board, to urge national Young Republican backing for civil rights and fair employment practices legisla tion. Salem Schools Closed By Heavy Snowfall Salem, Ore.. Jan. 30 fU.R) Salem public and - private schools were ordered closed to day because of the heaviest snowfall of the season.

Fraud Possible In Ten Palr Letter In Sunday's issue of The Mail Tribune was printed a letter ad dressed to the editor from one signing his name as Issa A. Se moh, of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa. In the letter he said he sought "pals in foreign coun try and added that he wished to exchange African products tor American. It was pointed out today that similar letters nave been report ed to postal authorities in con nection with frauds attempted by residents of foreign coun tries. In a recent issue of Collier's magazine, in an article entitled "Sucker Traps: Plain and Fan cy," one such attempt is de scribed. A Nigerian calling him self Prince Bil Morrison wrote to American papers begging for pen pals. "And he got them by the dozen," the article says. Makei 'Pitch' "After the customary ex change of pictures the prince made his pitch," the Collier's article continues. "He promised his Stateside ticn pals Nigerian ivory, diamonds and other pre cious jewels in return for a pair of old pants and $4, American. The clothing and the money flowed Nigeriaward, but nary a tusk or Jewel returned, so the post office issued a fraud order in response to numerous com plaints," the Collier's story said Having printed the original article in good faith. The Mall Tribune feels that its readers should be informed of the possi bility of fraud in connection with the letter from Africa. Big Audience Hears Carey McWiiliams Portland. Ore., Jan. 30 U.R) Carey McWiiliams spoke yester day to a packed audience at Redman hall on civil liberties after the Portland school board approved and then denied him the use of Benson high school auditorium.

William D.'Browne that McWiiliams had been listed as a "subversive" by the California legislature i Ten ney committee. McWiiliams said charges by the committee, headed by State Sen. Jack Tenney, were "stale half truths and plain lies." Use Mall Tribune Want Ads Keep Your Home Warm Bj Weatherstripping NOW!

Pork-On-The-Hoof Support Prices Causing Concern To Agriculture Head Washington, Jan. 30 (U.R) Secretary of Agriculture Charles Brannan is concerned today with the increasingly ticklish problem of deciding at what level to peg prices for pork-on-the-hoof when present supports expire March 31. He apparently can get little guidance from the three major farm organizations. A poll showed today that only one of the groups is willing to give a specific answer. Return More Dollars Brannan's decision, which probably will be announced next month, will affect consumers, taxpayers and farmers. Hog sales now return formers more dollars than any other commodity ex cept cattle and calves, and dairy products. A spokesman for the National Farmers union said present hog supports ahnuld be extended to protect shrinking farm income, even though It may earn "sub stantial losses" to the govern ment. The American Farm Bureau federation is not prepared to rec ommend any specific support level, a spokesman said. Sources close to the organization said, however, that the record shows the Farm Bureau apparently would favor some reduction In support levels to discourage ov erproduction and insure against possible heavy government losses. A spokesman for the Nntlonal Grange said the Grange has no official position on whether hog supports should be continued and, if so, at what level. Supports Stripped The question arises because congress has stripped from hogs mandatory supports first re quired under wartime legisla tion. The ltfH tarm act leaves ii up to Brannan to say where, if Shut out cold. Keep in heat. Save fuel end money! Also keep out dust, dirt, fmecri. Weather strip around windows, transoms, doors, bait boards wherever cold comes In. You'll be surprised at how little H costs.

Hogs now are selling close to support levels so close that the government entered the market last week to buy pork for price support. But before the govern ment could buy any, hog prices bounced up, and the department as yet has made no purchases. Record-high peacetime spring nnd summer marketings are in prospect. If present supports arc continued, some officials believe the government may have to take a lot of pork out of the mar ket to prop hog prices. On the other hand, If supports are lowered drastically, farmers would be exposed to the threat of a further break in prices. Hog firices already have skidded a ong way from postwar record highs. Income Declines Net farm income has dropped 20 per cent in the last two years and, according to Brannan, this Is a ban omen for the nation a economy. The agriculture de partment expects farm income to drop another 15 per cent this year. Hogs are vitally important to farm Income.
