By Vining Company The fourth play to be present ed by the Vining Repertory com pany at Ashland Li una Theatre during their April 14-May 10 season is the Pulitzer prize drama, "Death of a Salesman," by Arthur Miller. This also won the New York drama critics' award as the best play to be presented on Broadway in 1949. Called by Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times, one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theatre," this play has been a bigger suc cess, not only in every major American city but also in most foreign capitals, than any other serious stage presentation of this century, with the possible ex ception of "A Streetcar Named Desire." . , , Setting of "Death of a Sales man" is Willy Loman's home in Brooklyn a home that he has painfully paid for over 35 years of hard work, calling on cus tomers in "the New England territory." But, like everything in Willy's life, his home u shab by. As he ruefully remarks at one point, his refrigerator has worn out before it has been fully paid for. Through a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that Willy once was a successful salesman or, at least, he thought he - was. A glad-hander, his ideal wag to be "not only liked, but well-liked." And, to their ruin, he had tried to impress this ideal on his sons. One o them he grooms for a heroic football career. "Person ality always wins the day," he says.' . , . But this illusion, shared by many Americans, proves false as old age encroaches upon the once-optimistic drummer. At the beginning of the play, Willy Lo raan is shown returning from one of his selling-trips, defeated ly carrying his heavy sample cases back to his home, and with out a single order. He is finished, but he tries not to face this grim fact, nor the truth that he has made both his sons into ne'er- do-wells, by trying to force them into ways not suited to their temperaments. . Richard Graham plays the role of the pitiful, beaten and confused traveling salesman who sees in his sons' failures his own futilities, mistakes and misdeeds. Elmarie Wendel will be seen as his . faithful wife. Eddy Barron and Brad Curtis as the sons and Angus Bowmer as his friendly next-door neigh bor. Block bookings for theater parties and season tickets will be available until April 12 only. Dance Dates Changed By Club in Gold Hill Gold Hill The square danc ing sessions sponsored by Past Noble Grands' club of Ame thyst Rebekah lodge, at the Odd Fellows hall, have been changed from Saturday nights to Friday nights. This new arrangement will take effect Friday night, April 4, and no dance will be held April 5. . A professional instructor. Warren Kimball of Central Point, will conduct the dance classes. No admission fee will be charged, but a collection will be taken up to cover instruction cost. The classes will be held every two weeks. Women attending are asked to bring sandwiches or home-made cookies for refreshments. - The public is invited to attend. ' There are - now 400,000 In dians in the United States, com pared to about 250,000 around the close of the 19th century. Speaker Explains School Tax Bills For Mothers' Club A special meeting of Griffin Creek Mothers' club was held last Friday evening. Dad's night was observed, and a large per centage of the parents of the school attended. ' Dr. Bill Sampson, assistant professor of education at South ern Oregon college, was speaker and explained the school reor ganization and six mill tax lim itation bills. Entertainment for the meeting was furnished by the barbershop quartet, "Three Notes and Dad." During the. business meeting, new Boy Scout troop committee men were introduced. They in cluded Floyd Robinson, scout master; Walter C. Miller, as sistant; Dr. George Goodrich, community- representative; Har old O'Connors, chairman of the committee, Ed Goehring, Ben Wells, Ray Guches, and Chet Sessler. . Report of the recent Smorgas bord dinner dance showed a good profit. Purchase of a sewing ma chine for the 4-H sewing club, new scales and visual aid equip ment were announced as recent purchases. It was also announced a party for teen-age pr seventh and eighth grade students would be held Friday evening, April 4, and a county teachers' luncheon would be served by Boy Scout mothers, headed by Mrs. Ray Guches, on April 5th. Plans were also made for the annual public ham dinner April 20. A nominating committee elect ed included Mrs. George Good rich, Mrs. Robert Minear and Mrs. R. C. Warnock. Room prize was won by pupils of Mrs. Frinks's fifth grade room. In explaining the proposed bill for reorganization of schools; Dr., Sampson stated the bill is designed for two reasons to help equalize educational oppor tunities for all children and to enable schools to have more ef ficient administrative districts, each district capable of main taining schools for grades from one to twelve. He stated reorganization means reorganization of adminis tration rather than attendance centers. He pointed out that the bill is drawn to give everyone in each community an opportunity to express approval or disap proval through public meetings and through vote for board rep resentatives. If passed, he stated a state board will set up stand ards, then a county , committee will be appointed with repre sentatives from each district to study best possible methods for setting up school districts in that county. . ;.- Financially, taxpayers would be getting much more for their money if the districts are reor ganized, he pointed out, since consolidation of purchase power would mean quantity purchase savings. In Jackson . County alone, he added, a sum of $30,000 could have been saved last year if all paper towels and other paper products used in schools in the county could have been purchased on one order through a central office. Also, 'under the new plan, a surplus on one school such as textbooks may be trans ferred to another school having a shortage. He also pointed out the many advantages gained by districts which are now non- high school and which may be forced at a future date to se cure other arrangements for high school facilities. Speaking on the bill covering the six mill property tax limita tion, Dr. Sampson said that in the opinion of the stale attorney general it would nullify the basic school support act. He added that most groups believe .this is a bill being promoted by pro ponents of a sales tax as a means of forcing . support of the sales tax by school people and parents; Next meeting of the Mother s club will, be April 11 at .2:30 -a ii n i J Quick!
