(Bill Cate photo) Festival Footnotes As dress rehearsal time nears, the festival theater has become a scene of noise and confusion. Workmen are busy completing the new benches and placing them in the audience, lighting director Bill Patton and his as sistants are hanging lights and connecting seemingly endless wires, and the women of Ash land are aiding costume director Doug Russell by helping to com plete the nearly 200 costumes which will be used this year. Amid all this, rehearsals are being held from 10 in the morn ing until late at night; dancing, fencing and chorus rehearsals as well as the play rehearsals. As the rehearsal pace increases, so does the audience, for the pub lic is admitted free until dress rehearsal time, when only hold ers of season tickets and their out-of-town guests are allowed in the shell. Many young chil dren are among the rehearsal audiences, and some are so in tent on catching every word spoken on stage that they must be shooed off the stage railing before the rehearsal can go for ward. Among the creations of Paul Reinhardt, Oklahoma scholar ship student who has designed and executed costumes for "The Tempest," are three wigs of rayon "horsehair" which will be worn by goddesses Iris, Ceres and Juno. Clara Daniels, norm ally a brunette, will have a white, beaded and bejeweled wig for her part as Juno; Su zanne Hanson, who also has dark hair, will be blond for her role as Ceres, and Marjorie Lov berg will wear a wig of sky blue for Iris, goddess of the rainbow. A trip to Crater Lake has been planned July 27 for those in the cast who wish to see the famed lake and surrounding A Tribute TO THE While you are still sleeping, a million and more men are up and working -with the good earth. They are America's vast and vital army of Farmers. Upon their broad and patient shoulders rests the lifeblood of our 155,000, 000 people. They provide the food we eat. They provide the meat and eggs and milk and vegetables which come to our tables. Their products, won from the soil, go to countless manufacturers and processors who, in turn, make other foods and clothing for us to wear. The Farmer, indeed, is the back bone of the nation.

It will give those who go a much-needed chance to relax from the strain of run-throughs, dress re hearsals and picture-taking ses sions which often last into the early morning hours.

Marje was born in Minneapolis, Minn., but has liv ed in Missoula for several years. Her activities in the festival in-, elude the parts of Hero in "Much Ado About Nothing," Mistress Quickly in "Henry V," Iris in "The Tempest" and Cal phurnia in "Julius Caesar."

Mr. Loos and his wife, also present, raised nine children on the fam ily homestead, and one, Mrs. Byron Bushnell, still resides here. Mrs. Nellie Smith sang a bal lad. "Aunt Nellie," as this 74-year-old woman is called by her neighbors, has lived at her pres ent home since she and her de ceased husband homesteaded it 55 years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Ormy Goddard also sent an account of their schooling in the early 1900's in the first building at the present site. This building was built in 1930. Mrs. Ralph Reed, former school board clerk, brought the memories up to date with an ac count of the past few years and the events which led up to the consolidation of Wagner Creek school with the one in the Phoe nix district.

The Chilean pianist feels that contemporary composers need and deserve a boost. "That is why I am going to play as much modern music as I can in the next ten years," he said in an interview. Arrau's interest in modern music may come somewhat as a surprise to his admirers. For the last decade he has concentrated almost exclusively on the classic compositions, giving rise to the impression that he spurned mod ern music. "That is not the case," he said. "As a matter of fact I believe firmly in the music of the fu ture. I feel an urge and a duty to dedicate more of my time to it." To Take Time Off For the first time since 1941, Arrau plans to take three months off next summer to make a start toward his new goal. He said composers that in terest him particularly are Charles lyes, Aaron Copland, Roger Sessions and Walter Piston of the United States, Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez of France, Benjamin Britten and Lenox Berkley of Britain, Juan Jose Castro and Juan Carlos Paz, of Argentina, Domingo Santacruz of Chile, and Camargo Guarnieri and Hei tor Villalobos of Brazil. Arrau said his ambition is not new. "I have always wanted to play modern music but I have never had the time," he added. Arrau covers an average of 60,000 miles every year, a high record made possible by his repertoire of 76 recital pro grams and 63 orchestral works. Arrau, who was 49 in Febru ary and looks around 35, has another ambition. "My great grandmother lived to 120 and my mother is now an active 92," he said. "There is no reason why I should not live to 110. I plan to give my fare- 117 S. Central Plaids JUST A FEW Tiny tots to college co-eds; career girls and Moms are singing the praises of Plaids.
