i
Potpourri...
To our way of thinking, one of
the most beautiful drives in
southern Oregon is the Mt. Aih-
land loop trip. For all except the
timid driver, we recommend it
for a Sunday or holiday trip, or
for an over-night camping trip
for those who like to sleep out.
While- the sky was somewhat
overcast last Sunday, preventing
a clear view of Mt. Shasta and
other far-away snow - covered
peaks, the drive still was most
rewarding as far as scenery goes.
True, we did not get quite as far
as the little forest camp where
we had planned to eat our picnic
dinner, for the snow was still
over the road in one spot. How
ever, this did not greatly spoil
the day, for the wild flowers
alone were worth the trip. We
found carpets of blue lupine,
many clumps of Indian paint
brush, some wild columbine and
larkspur and several which we
could not identify. The Oregon
lilac was almost through bloom
ing, but other flowering plants
along the road were pretty.
The sights of the day included
a fungus growth at the side of
the road quite unlike anything
the family members had ever
seen before. These were greyish-
white in color, the largest about
the size and shape of a good-sized
pineapple and with an irregular
surface rather like a pineapple
When broken off at the short
stem, the inside of the growth
looked somewhat like a mush
room or toadstool. Since return
ing from the trip we've question
ed two or three native residents
of southern Oregon who know
the forests, but none were famil
iar with this growth, and of
course, it was not to be found in
the wild flower book.
The narrow mountain road
fails to deter people from mak
ing the trip, for several cars
were seen during the day Park
ed at the snow bank which pre
vented further travel from the
Ashland end of the road were a
car in which two bob cat hunters
had driven up the mountain, and
the family pick-up. Later a truck
and trailer carrying the Jack
Youngs of Ashland with their
three horses came toiling up the
steep grade. After the horses had
been unloaded and the trailer
and truck reversed, with the
help of the men in the group,
Mrs. Young and the oldest son
mounted and prepared to ride
down.
Jack Jr., being only eight
years old and rather on the
"five-by-five" order, climbed on
the side of the truck and from
there to the saddle. Mr. Young,
before he started back down the
mountain, admitted that he was
"crazy about riding" and said
that the family spent most of its
spare time on horseback.
The Youngs met again at Bull
gap, part way down the moun
tain, and then all' four, with
small David riding double, rode
around the mountain. When they
returned to the spot where the
snow had covered the road, they
found that some one had used
a pick and shovel to clear the
drift which had closed the road.
Later in the afternoon the
cloud formations proved a fasci
nating sight. From the side of the
mountain they appeared to be
close at hand and we saw several
so-called "thunderheads" boil
up and then disperse. The beauty
of these foaming cloud masses
and the rapidity with which they
form and then disappear makes
them worth watching closely,
and' through the field glasses
they were even more interesting.
There seemed to be few birds,
and the only one which paused
long enough to be watched was
a woodpecker, who disliked our
presence and retired to a safe
distance to scold.
Mrs. Earl Nill and her daugh
ter, Mrs. John Ousterhout,
matched our tales about bird-

watching and wild flower-gazing
last week with one about the
robins in their neighborhood.
Mrs. Nill says they have a robin
alarm clock in their block.
Every morning Papa Robin, or
maybe he's Grandpa Robin, for
he has a loud and commanding
voice, wakes up the rest of the
Robin family.
Bright and early, at an hour
when people of the neighbor
hood want to catch a last 40
winks, Mr. Clock Robin goes de
terminedly to work. Mrs. Kill
firmly maintains that anyone
who listens a few mornings
could come to no other conclu
sion. One by one, using a differ
ent voice on each one, he calls
and calls until every last robin
in the colony has answered. Just
like people, some of the robin
family members wake up quick
ly and answer cheerfully while
others have to be called twice
or three times, and in that case,
the head of the household speaks
up in that "young man you get
up or else" manner.
Perhaps we should take our
sleeping bag out to 25 Myers
court some time and spend the
night under a tree to hear this
phenomenon of bird life. Or
maybe it would be easier to ask
Dr. Elmo Stevenson of SOC,
who is an authority on birds, if
robin famlies have to be called
in the morning.
One group of young women
from Medford wished they had
sleeping bags last week end.
Five college students, Billie
Older, Patsy Bottjer, Jean
Runtz, Suzanne Lichty of Port
land (who's working at The Tri
bune this summer) and Barbara
Greene all set out for Crescent
City Saturday after work with,
visions of spending a wonderful
week-end on the cool seashore.
It was nice and cool, all right,
and also very crowded. Every
motel and hotel for 50 miles up
and down the coast was filled to
the last bed. After driving this
way and that for hours, the gals
ate a late supper at 3 a.m. (wait
ing in line in a restaurant which
was doing a land-office business
at that hour) and then spent the
rest of the night shivering in
the car, which was an open
Jeepster.
Hours later they bagged the
first empty beds in a Crescent
City hotel and finally got some
sleep. Getting up in the middle
of the afternoon, ,they trailed
somewhat disconsolately , down
to the lobby, attired in jeans and
pedal pushers, and walked
right into the middle of a formal
wedding reception. Escaping
this, the week-enders spent an
hour or so on the beach and then
started home, wondering who
thought up the bright idea of a
week-end at the beach, anyhow.
Paul (Groceteria) Smith was
behind the counter as usual at
the store last Saturday night
when he saw a woman customer
walk briskly in, stop and stare
down with a peculiar expres
sion. Mr. Smith looked, and was
surprised, too. A small goat had
wandered into the store. In the
hub-bub which followed, a
couple of girls finally asked if
they could have the animal, and
since the Groceteria didn't know
what to do with a live goat, Mr.
Smith quickly agreed. The last
Mr. S. saw of the visitor, he was
being urged down Sixth street
by the two girls.
Mrs. Lila Thomas, who recent
ly returned from a boat trip to
Skagway, Alaska, came home
with a story about a straw vote
taken on board the ship. The
passengers who were polled not
only listed their preference
among presidential candidates,
but also listed their party affil
iation. Of those who claimed to
be democrats, 72 per cent said
they preferred General Eisen
hower, and 60 per cent of the
republicans also voted for the
general.
"And what do you think,"
asked Mrs. Thomas. "Not a
single person voted for Presi
dent Truman!"

words, said George, the proof
reader, try "oikology." We

Festival Activity Mounting
As Opening Night Nears
Ashland In just two weeks
spearean festival will open in the amphitheater with its Elizabethan-like
stage on the edge of Ashland's Lithia Park and what three
weeks ago appeared to be dramatic chaos has now emerged into a
pattern as dress rehearsals approach,
The pressure of the last two
weeks of preparation for this
year's festival appears to be
greater than ever before with
the expansion of the annual pro
duction. This is true not only
among the players but among the
personnel who remain behind
the scenes as far as the actual
performances are concerned
Certainly this year's festival
will see more changes and addi
tions than any since the event
achieved nation-wide acclaim in
the seasons following World
War II.
Number one addition is that
of an organized music depart
ment, wnicn nas already as
sured itself a key part in the
mood setting of future festivals,
Hans Lampl of the music faculty
at the University of Southern
California and a student of Eliz
abethan music, took over the
music directorship this year.
From his work has emerged a
full Elizabethan choral group,
madrigal singers and a small
concert orchestra.
ihese are the three groups
which will present the first full
Elizabethan music concert in the
history of the festival. This new
"first" event will be offered Aug
ust 29.
Mr. Lampl's students will be
far from inactive before that
time. They'll furnish background
music before each performance,
and the University of Southern
California professor has also
been helping players with musi
cal parts of three of the four
plays to be offered this year.
The Tudor guild is again tak
ing an active part in festival
events, and is sponsoring the
third annual Bard's Heyday to
be held today. This will be a
get together of members of the
1952 casts and festival enthusi
asts from throughout the Rogue
valley and will again be at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Berthold
Barnum on South Pacific high
way. When the festival gets under
way August 1, the guild will be
sponsoring the "Tudor Fair.,"
successor to what, was formerly
known as the "Mop Fair." Booths
will be manned by members of
the guild and special features
such as a Punch and Judy show
will add to the pre-performance
background.
Changes in the theater itself
will be noticed. Through the ef
forts of members of a number
of Ashland organizations as well
as individuals, the theater will
have new benches to provide
more comfort for audiences at
the festival. The new seating
will provide room in the theater
for 800 persons at each perform
ance.
Rebuilding of parts of the
stage, additions, to and improve
ments of the lighting and land
scaping of the area surrounding
the theater have -also been ac
complished in advance of the '52
festival.

gram is near after many hours
of work. News releases are being
sent out to some 50 newspapers
throughout the nation and re
cordings to some 18 Pacific coast
radio stations.
There are inquiry letters to
answer, special invitations to
send, sideline events to plan
and telephone calls which at
times come in machine-gun or
der.
While this background activ
ity has reached its somewhat
hectic high pitch, the actors and
actresses are still on stage every
afternoon and evening to key
note the tension and progress
leading to the opening night per
formance of "The Tempest." In
itial performances of "Henry
V," "Much Ado About Nothing"
and "Julius Caesar" will follow
in rotation August 2, 3 and 4.
Many new faces and some of
the familiar ones from festivals
gone by are mingled in the casts,
in leading and minor roles. All
the initial joys and sorrows over
parts received following audi
tions are forgotten and the more
than 50 players are centering
their, attention on achieving top
performances throughout the
month of August.
On the feminine side of the
picture, five women stand out in
lead roles and three of these will
be new to festival audiences.
Two others are well remembered
for stellar performances in
earlier festivals.
The" newcomers are Eleanor
Prosser, a Stanford University
graduate student; Virginia
Chesse, San Francisco, who
comes to the festival with TV
experience and Marjorie Lov-
berg, a talented Montana Uni
versity student with professional
experience. "
The returnees are Medford s
Clara Margaret Daniels and Ash
land's Suzanne LaMarre Hanson.
On the masculine side, new
comers holding key roles in the
'52 festival are Richard Risso,
a talented student from San
Jose State college; Michael Ono
frio, a graduate student at Yale
university; Thomas Brennan, an
actor with professional experi
ence from Cleveland; Mainer
Hines, a Texas drama teacher
from Corpus Christi; Douglas
Meeker, a drama instructor at
Washington State college and
Dion Chesse, a San Francisco TV
actor.
Also holding important roles
rare these familiar actors: Richard
Graham, Phil Hanson, Angus
Bowmer, Douglas Russell, Bill
Ball, Paul Kliss, Bill Oyler and
Allen Fletcher.
Producing director Bowmer,
who originated the festival idea
in 1935 and is still going strong
as top man, summed up the gen
eral opinion of this year's cast
with this statement:
"It's easily the finest group of
young players we've ever had
With this year's caliber, the fes
tival appears to be certain to
continue the constant growth it
has enjoyed since its inception.
One federal personnel work
er, according to Sen. Johnston
of South Carolina, says the red
tape involved in laying off a
civilian employe costs more
than it does to keep him on the
pay roll.

As We Live
CHECK THOSE FEARS
BEFORE THEY SPREAD
When a person is qualified for
a certain type of job and yet re
fuses to try to locate such a job,
it does not mean laziness but
rather a fear of failure. Until
this fear is overcome, the per
son will remain unemployed.
That is the problem facing the
worried parents of this young
woman:
(Q) "My husband and I arc
concerned by our daughter's
behavior. She is beautiful, tal
ented and educated but lacks
the ability to put ihaie quali
fications to work. She is able
to do beautiful work in her
chosen profession but when it
comes lo looking for a job, she
is almost paralysed with fear
and balks at seeing a prospec
tive employer. I should ap
preciate and advice you can
give."
(A) I strongly recommend that
you have professional help for
your daughter. As the situation
now stands,
she will never
, j get a job or, if
she gets one,
she will not be
able to hold it.
As a young
woman, this
may not be
necess a r y
from a finan-
Dr. Hurlock cial point of
your husband may be able to
provide adequately for her and,
in time, she may marry and
want to give up her profession.
But, from the point of view of
her personality, this is a serious
matter. Back of her refusal to
see a prospective employer is a
fear of failure, of not getting
what she sets out to get. If the
fear is stopped there, it would
be bad but not too serious.
However, specific fears rare
ly remain specific. They spread
and become general. Then,
when they relate to personal in
adequacies, they lead to an in
feriority complex that colors the
whole outlook on life and dis-

This fear your daughter now
has may readily spread in that
way. Before long, she will "be
afraid to go out socially and she
will shut herself away from the
world. When that happens, she
will not only be an unhappy
young woman but a badly ad
justed one.
Ask your doctor to recom
mend a psychiatrist and put
your daughter in his care. Let
him find out what is back of this
fear of seeing employers and let
him cure her of it Then she will
be in a position to make use ot
her talents.
