Cast Aluminum 12.88 Music, Plays and Parties Fill Late Spring Calendar Late spring and early summer always bring a rush of activi ties, what with the close of schools, graduations, weddings and par ties for the brides-to-be. Added to this in recent days have been the various programs observing National Music week, and today is Mothers' day which means special church services as well as a number of other events, such as the breakfast which Medford De Molay members are giving this morning at the Masonic temple for their mothers. Numerous groups have had programs observing music week, and as a part of the Toastmis tress meeting Monday night members, as well as their guests from Grants Pass, talked briefly about the place of music in the life of Americans generally, and about the status of music in Rogue valley cities. It was generally agreed that the importance of music should not be underestimated, and one Grants Pass speaker told of a grade school teacher in that city who says "let me observe a pu pil's reaction to his school mu sic and I can tell what his reac tion to all school will be, and what many of his special needs will be; music will show." Discussing attendance at mu sical events, both here and in Grants Pass, it was agreed that practically the only musical events which nil the auditoriums are those given by the schools: in the case of Medford the senior high school auditorium is now too small for all-school musical events, but is seldom well filled for other musical attractions. Talking about this latter fact, Mrs. B e r n 1 c e 'Kunzman said "there are simply too many de mands on everyone's time and money in this day; it isn't that people wouldn't like to attend." Mrs. James J. Boyle thought" that music education in the lower grades should be amplified, to build up knowledge and under standing of good music and Miss Hazel Swayne said the commu nity should encourage music and musicians in every possible way. Miss Abby Sturtevant gave valley papers a verbal pat on the back, saying she thought the gen erous space given school musi cal events had something to fo with the large attendance and said papers in some other cities were not so cooperative. While on the subject of audi torium space, the annual mu sicale of Medford grade schools next Friday night will be in the athletic stadium, since the audi torium won't hold the anticipated audience. Among visitors in the valley is a musician, Mrs. John Francis of Pasadena, the former June Wil liams who is spending a month here with the O. L. Williams, her parents. Mrs. Francis, a soprano, was featured on many programs when she attended Medford high school and Whitman college and still keeps up her musical activi ties. Among other things she sings in a chorus conducted by Louis Duke, young student and composer at Occidental college near Pasadena. Mrs. Francis was to have been soloist for a program planned by the chorus not long ago but unhappily was in an au tomobile accident shortly before the concert date and was forced to sit in the audience while an other sang her program. Jean Page, Rotana member, tripped into the Tribune office last week with a clever little yarn about a rummage sale which the club planned only to be confronted with the fact that rummage sales only rate a cou ple of lines in the locals. Jean, who earned an extra star in her crown for swell publicity on the recent taster Seal sale, groaned aloud and declared "Good heav ens you don't know what ef fort that masterpiece cost. I wrung it from my soul!" She had written that Rotana mem bers, trying to go all out on their first sale, "had hunted rummage In the attics and basements of the best homes in Medford in fact, we visited almost as many homes as the census takers." Rummage sales, a phenom enon of this country, have at tained such proportions that the more super-colossal ones even rate space in such magazines as "T i ' Wkilo tUno ,u,a JM Medford may not get national publicity, they certainly earn thousands of dollars every year for every conceivable organiza tion and cause and some rare stories have come out of them. At a recent Presbvterian sale Mrs. Ben Stafford laid her coat down on a chair and it was on the sales rack the next thing she knew with a prospective custo mer fingering the material. "I knew it had passed its prime, but I didn't know it had reached the rummage sale stage," she opined, after retrieving it. Mrs. Stafford, a special favor ite of many people, recently be came a member of Toastmistress and Monday night gave her first talk, telling about her own life and declaring that it simply wasn't possible to crowd all the events of an army officer's wife into a 10-minute talk. Mrs. S. D. Earhart believes that she must have had one of the best Mother's day gifts of any mother in the city. Her gift was a surprise visit from her daughter, June, who is a senior in the University of Pennsylva nia school of nursing. Miss Earhart and a classmate, Helen Bellotti, were sent to San Francisco last week for a na tional convention of nurses, and Miss Earhart seized the oppor tunity to come north for Moth er's day. The two made the trip west by plane with Dr. Theresa Lynch of the school. Dr. Lynch being one of but 27 nurses in this nation holding a Phd. degree. Miss Earhart is a namesake of the first June Earhart, sister of her father. Dr. Earhart, who years ago was one of the most beloved and widely . known nurses in this city. There was good fare last week for the drama fans, with the Medford Footlighters giving "The Torchbearers" in Medford and Angus Bowner presenting "I Remember Mama" in the SOC auditorium in Ashland. Medford people were in both productions. Clara Daniels as "Mama" and Norma Jeanne Snell as Katrin in the Ashland performance both received high praise for their performances and after the clos ing curtain Friday night Direct or Bowmer referred to 14-year-old Norma Jeanne as "my f ind." She had not tried out for the cast originally, being busy with high school subjects and work as business manager of the Hi Times, to say nothing of a con siderable "baby sitting" sched ule, but was asked by Bowmer to step in after rehearsals were well underway. Zest was added to the produc tion by the appearance of Di rector Bowmer as Uncle Chris. As usual after an SOC play, both players and audience were deploring the fact that the col lege auditorium stage is so small and wondering if the building program in the next few years would include some structure with an adequate stage.
