SntMEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. March 26. 1950 M plans for style shows, dances, carnivals and other money-raising projects, and these events have not only brightened the so cial calendar in recent years but have been the means of the league maintaining its charitable contributions.

The five new members will be honored at a luncheon April 14 at the home of the president, Mrs. Berwick L. Wood. Junior Service league, only in its third year since organization, has as sumed a position of importance In the valley because of the group's extensive charitable proj ects. Community and Sacred Heart hospitals each receive $50 a month from the group for the care of children, and in addition the group has made additional generous gifts to the hospitals and other organizations and funds. Hard-working members of the league are always busy with Spring Classes Mr. Apoll PIANO ACCORDION ELECTRIC and PIPE ORGAN and Mn, Apollo o Studio 27 Quince Phona 3-1683 . . . because the keeps bright color brighter, keeps her prettiest house hold items looking right with careful laundering by our experienced opera tort. Slipcovers, draperies, fine-fabric curtains, blan kets send them today. One call brings prompt service. . Another group currently hard at work is the Philharmonic So ciety of Southern Oregon, for the society has booked a spring con cert for April 18. Both the chorus and the orchestra will ap pear and the program is quite dif ferent from anything which the society has presented in the past. A number of operatic selections will be presented, both solo and with groups, and in addition Col leen Hope and a number of her advanced pupils will present bal let numbers. They will dance Rimsky-Kor-sakoff's "Hymn to the Sun" and the ballet suite from the opera "Aida." The chorus has been faithfully rehearsing each Tuesday, and the orchestra each Wednesday eve ning, and recently soloists have been working out with the or chestra. June (Mrs. T. E.) Pop ham, who is to sing the "Haba nera" from "Carmen" last Wednesday rehearsed with the orchestra. Mrs. Popham, an in teresting red-head with a full contralto voice, never did get be yond the first few phrases of her aria. Director Richard Werner first worked at polishing the in troductory measures, going over and over them many times, and then when Mrs. Popham joined in with her opening notes, some combination of tone seemed not quite right and this was repeated eight or a dozen times. Since Mrs. Pophnin's rehearsal was late in the evening, this soon brought the clock hands around to clos ing time. Earlier in the evening Sue Murphy, soprano who Is to sing "Vilya" from the Merry Widow, had her rehearsal session with the orchestra, and last week Ludwig Skala, baritone, worked out with the group on the pro logue from "Pagliacci." The bari tone, an experienced singer, will be making his first solo appear ance in the valley. Rehearsals arc almost more In teresting than the concrts. The Informal attire of the musicians and director, the peculiar posi tions the players assume as they concentrate on the music and the antics of the director as he works at welding the various in struments into a harmonious whole fascinate the few who are always to be found on the side lines. Mr. Werner, like many an other director, sings a lot of the time and he often demonstrates his directions with exaggerated expressive motions. This results In frequent stops to mop his per spiring face, even though the hall Is almost cold. At any rate, If sheer hard work counts for anything, the concert should be good. This week-end Is crowded with events. Last night there were two church weddings, installa tion of officers for DcMulny and the blR square dance jamboree sponsored by the YMCA, all In Medford. while In Ashland Hi! Inli temple of the Shrine gave n formal ball for Potentate Her man H. Mayberry and Mrs. May berry. The square dance jambo ree was described as a "real hoc down" with enthusiastic dancers coming from far and near to dance to the calling of Jack Ho hrisal of southern California. Following the jamboree the F.rnest Barnes and Murray Gar dner gave a supper party at Ihc Barnes' hume on East Main street, with the Ilohelsals as guests of honor. Twenty-four guests attended. While Mr. Barnes remains among the few who haven't taken up this cur rent dance fad, he and Mrs. Barnes have given the use of Red Cross Course For New Program Planned This Week A training course for grey ladies of the Red Cross in the new "service to the community" program recently organized In Medford, will be conducted this week commencing Monday, in the YMCA building Dates for the course are March 27, 28 and 29 and sessions will be held throughout the three days until noon.

Oregon student Herb Nill ar rived home from school the mid dle of the week looking forward to a few days of loafing and mother's cooking only to be con fronted with the news, read in the family newspaper, that he was speaking at a meeting of high school seniors interested in attending the university. Not only had someone neglected to tell young Nill and a fellow stu dent. Miss Nancy Lageson, that they were making speeches, but neither one had any information about the Duck Preview, which they were supposed to be adver tising. Needless to say, the speech which Herb Nill gave was pretty general. OS.
