Jean Hart's
Diary
April 9th
Happy Easter Sunday to you h
from Bert and Jean.
Today is one of those days
that we can sit back and
feel that we too, have done
our part in making you the
'"grandest person in the Eas
ter Parade." . . .
Have you ever thought of
WHY you bedeck yourself so
lavishly for Easter Sunday?
WHY your clothes and hats
hats are usually pastel color
ed and abloom with- flowers?
You are actually imitating
the land. All of the world
is abloom and beautiful as
it awakes from its winter
long sleep. All of the world
is arising to new life as tho
it had been dead. Symbol
ically all of the world is cele
brating in the Resurrection.
It is Easter Sunday and w
too, in pride and beauty,
renew our faith. Like na
ture we put on our Easter
best as we begin the new
year with hope and promise
. . . and put forth flowers
in our window.

Dear Mrs. Medford:
Each week we write you a letter telling of the beauty
to be found in our store. Material beauty created for
your home and to add to your gracious living.
Today we are concerned with beauty of the spirit.
The greatest gift of Easter is the gift of Hope . . ,
of Love and of Kindness . . . one to the other.
This month we can realistically follow this creed of
thinking first of others by donating generously to the
Cancer Association. It is our opportunity to do our
share in bringing Hope to the Cancer patients it our
valley.
We both wish you and yours a thoughtful Easter Day.

From Island Stay
Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Witham
arrived home Friday afternoon
by United Airlines after a vaca
tion and business trip to the Ha
waiian islands.
The Withams are enthusiastic
about the islands as a vacation
spot. They were in Honolulu for
most of their stay, but made
trips to Hilo and other points on
the island of Hawaii, which
they found particularly interest
ing.
Mrs. Witham took particular
pleasure in the flowers, also
spoke of a program of Hawaiian
dances which she saw given by
a group of small native children
and declared her vocabulary
didn t have words to describe
the island scenes.
Friends of the couple pre
sented them many leis at de
parting time and Mrs. Witham
reported that not only were all
the passengers carrying many
flowers but the plane's cargo was
more than half made up of flow
ers being sent to the mainland
for taster.

Soloists for April Concert
Announced by Philharmonic
Sevedal soloists, some new
heard on the program which the
uregon will present April lo in
Another feature of the concert
vation for a concert here.
Richard D. Werner, director of
the philharmonic orchestra and
chorus, believes that the pro
gram which he has planned will
be of great appeal, with orches
tral numbers and solos from both
light and grand opera as well as
the ballet selections.
Opening the program will be
selections from "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" with Sue
Murphy, soprano, singing "Vil
ya." The chorus will complete
this light opera portion by com
bining with the orchestra to pre
sent Victor Herbert's "March of
the Toys" from "Babes in Toy
land." The first part of the ballet
section of the concert, to be pre
sented by Colleen Hope and her
pupils will be the "Hymn to the
Sun" from "Le Coq d'Or" by
Rimsky-Korsakoff. Oriental in
color and line, this beautiful mu
sic will serve to present Miss
Hope, with Patsy White and
Charmayne Charley as co-soloists,
in an interesting interpreta
tion. The dancers will be in
brilliant gold costumes and the
director feels sure that the audi
ence will be captivated not only
by the beauty of the music but
by the flowing delineation of
line by the dancers.
Frances Thrun, whose contral
to voice, described as rich, has
brought her so much notice and
iraise in recent years, will sing
"My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice"
from Samson and Delilah" by
Saint Saens. During her solo the
stage will be set for the second
sroup of dancers who will pre
sent all of the ballet music from
Aida by Verdi. A feature of this
music will be the singing of the
oriestess' chant by Caroline An
drews Werner. As in the oper
atic performance, she will sing
this backstage as if from the tern
nip of Tsis.
Miss Hope's dancers who will
appear in these numbers are
Patty Hilton, Dolly Greene, Vir
ginia Bourman. Beverly Hogue,
Frances Hogue and Donna
Lange, Negro dance: Patsy
White. Gloria Haggard, Jackie
Schiro, Ruth Offord, Sandra
Laing. Marlene Garman, Sylvia

Dana Ragsdale, Janice Stevens,
Delores Baize, Carol Cutchin,
Lee Stark and Rosemarie Reent
er, veil dance.
As has been true In past con
certs, the society will again pre
sent a new singer who will be
heard for the first time in public
here as a soloist. This will be
Ludwig Skala, bass-baritone,
who will sing the prologue from
Pagiiacci by Leoncavallo.
The chorus will follow this
number, singing "The Bell
Chorus" from the same opera.
As a contrast, the following
Two "Lohengrin" numbers are
on the program. "Elsa s Dream
will be sung by Loree ora,
whose pleasing soprano voice has
been used for solo parts in pre
vious philharmonic concerts, and
the chorus will follow with the
music which nrecedes Elsa's en
trance into the cathedral in the
course of the oncra.
numbers will be four short chor
uses from the opera "Linda" by
Mr. Werner. The choruses are
Negro in character, and are used
to nrovide local color in the op
era. One. entitled ireat me
Right, was learned from an old
lave in Alabama bv the lioret-
tist. E. M. Andrews, and the solo
part is to be sung by Mrs. H. D.
McMHUn. The remaining inree
are Mr. Werner s compositions
and are "Hallowe en bong with
solo by Marie Guttenfeldcr;
Banjo Song with solo by Rob
ert Corliss and "Lament" to be
ung by the chorus. All are to
be sung a cappella.
Because he believes an operat
ic concert would be incomplete
without something from Bizet's
Carmen" the director has pro
grammed the entr'acte to Act
III for the orchestra, the smug
glers' scene from Act III and
The Habenera. This famous
solo will be sung by June Pop-
ham, another newcomer, and in
the opinion of those who have
heard her this will be one of the
high spots of the concert. Her
style is reminiscent of Gcraldine
Farrar. Mrs. Popham will be
accompanied by the chorus and
orchestra.
For the smugglers' scene, the
"xtct number will be sung by
Mrs. Werner, Mrs. Popham,
Tresa McMannis Matlack, Almus
Pruitt. Jack Strong and William
Ford.
The concert will be brought
to a close with Mr. Skala doing
"Evening Star" from "Tann
hauser" by Wagner and the
chorus will sing "Hail, Bright
Abode from the same opera.
