Footlighters' Play Recommended; Said 'Fast-Moving, Meaty' Medford theater - goers who like the fast-moving modern stage plays with sparkling dia logue but with "meat" in the lines as well, should 'see the Footlighters' production of "Goodbye My Fancy." The play, which opened last Friday night, continues tonight and tomorrow, with curtain time at 8:15 p.m. The plot of "Goodbye My Fancy," which has a somewhat misleading title, deals with the problems of a noted congress woman whose battle to awaken her fellow citizens to the dan gers of an atomic - conscious world are momentarily sub merged by her dream of marry ing a college president with whom she was once In love. Secondary Plot , Secondary plot interest is pro vided by the struggle of the president to reconcile his own wishes and beliefs with his de sire to keep his position and at the same time keep his self respect and that of his daughter. Jeraldyn Jerome, as the con gresswoman, last night gave a somewhat ragged performance in the first minutes of the play but warmed up to her characteriza tion later and was convincing in her dramatic scenes. Dr. Mer rill is played by Chuck Hawkins, who gives the part dignity, but lacks force. David Whlsenant, high school senior playing hia first major role, brought praise from the au dience for his playing of the big-time news photographer who is also in love with the congress woman. Young Whisenant has a certain natural stage charm which adds to his performance. Stage Presence Good Norma Jeanne Snell gave a sympathetic interpretation of the president's daughter, about to graduate from college with mis givings about her father and life in general. Miss Snell's stage presence is good and shows the experience brought by her work with several plays in the past few years, but her naturally clear, firm voice needs modula tion at times. Gail Gatter turned In a sharp characterization s the efficient and breezy secretary who knows exactly what to do in every emergency. There are several supporting roles in this play which help give H strength, and these parts are all well filled by the Foot- lighter cast. There is Ruth Kil bourn as a college official, (we would like to see Miss Kilbourn i In a larger role some time); Bob I Hillyer, who plays a convincing , big businessman and chairman , of the board of regents; Frank Buchter, who can always be de pended upon for a solid perform ance, as Dr. Pitt who can't de cide whether he Is wasting his Quits Laxatives finds amazing relief "Had tried method after method to relieve constipation, until I lost faith,1' admits New Jersey woman.

Jerri Cleek and Mary Ann Birdseye give commendable performances as Ellen Griswold, former chum of the congresswoman, and Mary Nell, typical college girl The cast is completed with Barbara Williams, Clela Burns and Leon McDougal, Director Robert Stedman has succeeded in making "Goodbye My Fancy" a smooth-running production, despite, the handi caps of many inexperienced ac tors and the fact that several are playing roles considerably out of their real age level.

Budget Same As Year Before Central Point "Almost iden tically the same budget as the present fiscal year will be drawn up for the next fiscal year at Central Point," accord ing to City Recorder A. R. Pink ham. Pinkham noted that about $400 more than the current year could be added while still stay ing within the 6 per cent limi tation set by state law. He said that the city was expected to stay within the 6 per cent limita tion because of the 15 mill con tinuing levy voted by the citi zens last year. This levy will be applied to the current property valuation of $1,400,000. All but one of the six-member citizens' budget committee have been named, Pinkham said. Members are J. E. Vincent, E. O.
