Potpourri... June weddings, Shakespear ean festival try-outs, visitors, luncheons, office callers and keeping an eye on a new report er all combined to make the last few days one of those interesting but we-h o p e-it-doesn't-happen-again-soon weeks. One of our most interesting callers was Hans Lampl, musi cian who has come from the Uni versity of Southern California to plan and direct music for the annual Shakespearean festival. Mr. Lampl arrived in Ashland last week and at once set about interviewing festival officials, musicians and others who want to help along this new phase of the festival. Many in the valley have thought for some time that a well-planned and well-executed music program would do much to enhance the plays. These peo ple were delighted when it was found that a southern California man who has come north from time to time to see the plays had ' offered to provide funds for a musical director, and also knew of a man, with much back' ground in music of the Eliza bethan period, who could be se cured for the work. , The money and the director 'are now at hand, and all that re mains is for enough interested valley singers and instrumental ists to offer their services for a chorus, orchestra and some small groups. Mr. Lampl was accompanied to Ashland by his wife and small son, and the three have taken an apartment for the summer. Mrs, Darel! Huson, Medford music teacher who is working with Mr. Lampl, through the Tudor guild, had already met him while re cently visiting in Los Angeles with her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Arn old. The Lampls, Arnolds and others in a circle of friends in the southern California city all have learned to play the record er, an Elizabethan musical in strument, and have been play ing together for some time past. Eugene Bennett, artist who divides his time between Med ford and Chicago, came in one day bringing news that he plan ned to give a series of lectures on art appreciation. The lectures will be aimed at education of the layman and Potpourri for one hopes to be sitting in the front row at all five lectures. Like many another American, we find ourselves completely baffled by many of the works of 'present-day painters and would welcome an opportunity to have these trends analyzed and ex Dlained. What with the Greenwich Vil lage show planned by the new Southern Oregon society of Art ists, which Is to be In Hawthorne park in mid-July, the annual ex hibition of southern Oregon art ists In Grants Pass the last of June, and the appreciation lec tures, artists and art fans can look forward to an interesting time. Mr. Bennett's visit followed shortly after a luncheon engage ment with another artist, Mrs, Geraldlne Birch Duncan of Pasadena. Mrs. Duncan, here to spend a few weeks with her son and daughter-in-law, the Perry Duncans on South Barneburg road, is an Englishwoman and received her formal art educa tion in London, Paris and Ant werp. Mrs. Duncan, who paints un der the name of Geraldine Birch, works mostly as a por trait artist and has painted doz ens of persons in southern Cali fornia. Like most portrait paint ers, Mrs. Duncan (or Miss1 Birch we couldn't decide which to use) always has photographs made of the finished work in order that she may have a rec- ord of the work, and we were privileged to see a number of these. The artist also had with her ' photographs of a series of paint ings she did for the stations of the cross in an Episcopal churcn in Sierra Madre, and these faces of Christ, as conceived by Miss Birch, we found Indescribably appealing. She explained that the work was done at the re quest of a friend who, when her four sons all went away to fight in World War II, promised her self that if all four sons returned home, she would show her grati tude by having the paintings made for the church. The sons all came home and Miss Birch executed the paintings after spending eight months In prep aration and research. Miss Birch discussed modern art briefly, and with consider able humor. She told of a cer tain California artist, now en- joying some local fame, who also paints portraits. "His por traits all look like the subjects were corpses," she said with vigor. "Not only that, but they look like corpses which had been dug up after having been buried for a while." Miss Birch seems also to be interested in gardening and re vealed that she had saved con siderable money this year by not planting any vegetables, particularly tomatoes. "By the time I bought the seeds, plants, fertilizer, several kinds of sprays for the numerous insects and paid the water bill, the vege tables cost more than if I'd bought them from the market," said Miss B. The artist, now white-haired, says that when the time comes for her to give up portrait paint ing, she wants to come to Ore gon to live. "California was at one time like Oregon," she said bit sadly. "Now it's ruined The trouble with southern Cali fornia is that it's all Los Ange les." The visitor's charming daugh ter-in-law weaves for a hobby, and one section of the Duncan living room is taken up with large loom. She and her husband came to Medford in March, and the young Mrs. Duncan said they were happy as could be to leave Salt Lake City, which they couldn't abide, to live in south ern Oregon. Our periodic and futile at tempt to eat less fell by the way more than once last week. First it was a luncheon prepared by Mrs. Bruno Pellegrini, and then it was luncheon prepared by the younger Mrs. Duncan. We've always said we didn't care for Italian food, but it was because we'd never eaten any before which tasted as good as Mrs. Pellegrini cooks. The won derful rigatoni and thick chick en and beef sauce, with a green salad and fresh fruit, sent us back to the office in such a state that we spent the afternoon try ing to describe the luncheon to everyone who came in. It was the same with the pork chops which Mrs. Duncan pre pared. They were cooked with apples and raisins, which "does something" to a pork chop. Our hostess also served string beans prepared with mushrooms and a smidgin of onions, and the re sult was delectable. The Johnsons are in the news today. There's the wedding of Miss Joyce Marie Shafer to Don ald James Johnson, and also the wedding of Miss Mary Margaret Johnson to Cpl. William A. Johnson Jr. Since weddings are usually "family affairs" both wedding questionnaires had Johnson on practically every line. For the Johnson-Johnson wed ding on the questionnaire line which asks "any special signifi cance to date or place chosen for wedding" the bride had written "bridegroom' home on leave" and followed the joyful words with an exclamation point which leaned at a happy angle.

Sunday. June 11, 19U MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Author Says Hobbies Can Turn Into Money New York xour nobby can be making you money as well as filling your spare hours with fun. A well-known authority in the field of handicrafts says that thousand! of women already have turned their hobbies into money-makers and he has writ ten a book to help others do the same Robert Scharf, author of "Handicraft Hobbies for Profit" (McGraw-Hill), says that of all hobbies which can be turned to profit, those dealing with home conveniences and novelties have proved the most successful. He told of a woman in Mil waukee whose idea for a gift for a friend became a full-time business. She wanted to add a personal touch to a gift for a stamp-collector. She bought a plain lamp shade from the local dime store and covered It with stamps. She shellacked the shadi and added a stand and bulb. Scharf said others saw the gift, asked her to make one for them, and offered to pay for her time. 4-H Club News Antelope Club A class of Hereford heifers and one of Hereford steers were judged at our last meeting at the home of John Bohnert.
