Fish Lake Both
Open to Travel
Both Lake o' Woods and Fish
lake roads are open to travel,
it was reported today. Sid Blood,
operator of the Fish lake re
sort, and Jack Dutcher, of the
Lake o" Woods resort, said that
ice on both lakes is now broken.
Dutcher said that the Dead
Indian road is open and in fair
condition, but the road from
Butte Falls via Fish lake will
have to thaw out before it is
usable.
All summer cabin owners on
both east and west sides of the
lake will be able to get to their
cabins, Dutcher said, and the
roads around the lake are to be
opened by the week-end. The
road to Klamath county is also
open and two bulldozers are at
work improving it.
Facilities Ready
All facilities are ready and
supplies are on hand, Dutcher
said. Rowing and motorboats
will be for rent, and while phone
service has not been restored,
plenty of cabins will be avail
able. Blood said the last snow bar
rier to Fish lake was cleared
Thursday and the lake is now
open to fishing. The last six miles
of road is single track, with
turn-out places. He advised fish
ermen not to try to bring house
trailers until this section of road
,bas been better cleared.
There was no report on the
r condition of the road from the
main road in to summer homes.

Footlighters Turn to Comedy; Give
Good-Natured Ribbing to Theaters
Medford's little theater group
now called The Footlighters, has
switched from the heavy drama
of their last production Angel
Street to a sprightly comedy
that gives them and their ilk
pointed but good-natured rib
bing. George Kelly's play, "The
Torch-bearers," opened last night
in the senior high school audi
torium and plays for the final
time tonight. It is a crisp, satiri
ical comedy that only a broad
minded, fun-loving little theater
group could present gracefully.
It depicts another, deadly seri
ous theater group in the midst
of presenting a one-act drama.
Their difficulties in rehearsal
must have been closely paral
leled by the Medford group in
preparing "The Torch-bearers."

ing the general upward trend

year ago. Aid for these cases to
taled S57.786. as compared to

Appeals Court Affirms
Murder Conviction
Frankfurt, Germany, May 12
(U.R) An appeals court today af
firmed a 15-year prison sentence
given Mrs. Yvette Madsen,
Brooklyn, N. Y., brunette, for
murdering her air force husband
after a gay drinking party.
Mrs. Madsen, 22, mother of
two children, was convicted
March 18. She shot Lt. Andrew
Madsen. 32, of Oakland, Cat.,
last October 20 in their home
here.
During a sensational trial of
more than a week, Mrs. Madsen
broke up the procedings several
times by collapsing or scream
ing at the prosecutor.
Dead Una Sunday Classified la ai
Noon Saturdays.
showed the play within a play in
production. A cleverly designed
set allowed the audience to see
the torch-bearers back-stage, and
the audience, no doubt, was won
dering whether the Footlighters'
backstage was in the same state
of chaos as the torch-bearers'.
Probably it was, but with less of
a sense of impending doom.
If the torch-bearers are to be
considered typical, any adverse
criticism of last night's play
would be unthinkable homes
would be broken, sensitive artis
tic temperaments would be shat
tered, and the highly commend
able little theater movement
would be killed aborning. There
must be nothing but praise and
flattery so that the actors will
continue to carry the torch of
Culture with a capital C to
the American masses. But about
the most appropriate comment
that could be made about last
night's performance is that Med
ford's torch-toters seemed to be
having a wonderful time and if
they made mistakes, "the audi
ence probably didn't even no
tice it."
No Start
The playwright, wisely enough
considering his subject, did not
provide any starring roles and it
would be difficult to say if any
one member of the cast outshone
another. There was no "distin
guished" acting last night, but
there was an almost unfailing
sense of comedy. If the success
should be measured by the
laughter she managed to elicit
from the audience, then probably
little Frances Burton, in the role
of a scatterbrained society ma
tron, was a shade more success
ful than the others.
The play was under the direc
tion of Mrs. Lenore Zapell and
her cast each of professional
calibre consisted of Hal New
house. Jeanette Hampson. Char
lene Pike. Laura Porter. Bernard
Kelly, Frances Burton, James
Sullivan. Ken Bushnell, Milo
Hunt, Keith Hopkins. Aubrey
Harris and Beverly Hampson,
listed in the order of their ap
pearance, not of their impor
tance. Play programs were excellent
ly planned, featuring thumbnail
biographies of each member of
the cast on the back page.
Curtain time for tonight's per
formance is 8:15 and tickets will
