Magnuson (D-Wash.) in troduced a bill yesterday which would prevent Oregon from with holding state tax from paychecks of certain federal employees who work at Bonneville dam.

' rl Don't Miss IM1M(CE AND SHOW at the r EAGLE ! POINT . FRIDAY NIGHT 9 P.M. t 1 A.M. February 25th MW!cVy0 HAL SHEPPARD W ORCHESTRA Medford's Sensational New Dane Band! Featuring BOBBY RINARD, Vocalist Show by COLLEEN i Thursday. February 24, H5S Kiva nians' Ru ns Ga mu t of Enf e via i n men t By EDITH RODE "Tel-A-Versions," the 1955 edition of the Kiwanis K&pers, which opened last night at the Medford High school, ran the full gamut of revue entertain ment. It opened with "pieces" of Marilyn Monroe, satirized that latest American institution, television, and worked up to a grand finale including practical ly, every Kiwanis member in Medford. After the introduction of Marilyn Monroe's parts, the re vue got off tq a swift start with the Angel Gabriel and Saint Medford deciding to investigate the effects of television on suf fering humanity. The first act to be investigated by Gabriel in cluded mad scientists, roller skaters, wrestlers, giveaway M. C.'s, comics, bijou girls and all the assorted entertainment that makes television reminiseent of vaudeville.. Aimed At Cultiir The second scene of the play was aimed at the cultural level, and presented a ballet, vaguely very vaguely modeled after Swan Lake. However, this little production would have made Tschaikowsky revolve in his grave. It is highly recommended for those who feel that they guffaw with difficulty! The effects of television on our junior citizens was effectively demonstrated in Scene 3. Per haps the ultimate in explosive breakfast cereals was shown as a tribute to TV commercials. Scene 4 took place in a typi cal horse opera saloon, which was complete with shootin', can can girls, mustachioed prospec tors, and ladies who sing swing songs. There was also a nice smooth tap routine. This little idyll is interrupted for the shoot ing of a movie scene revolving around a warbling cowboy, and tremendous activity takes place before the film is safely in its can. Incidentally, . this seene would make a boiler , factory seem like a nice quiet cozy place. Dragnet Them "Friday," rf'Saturday" and "Monday," snap - felted gentle men, gave the "Dragnet" theme the once over lightly with the homicide hatchet, and provided lots of good bloody fun. The graphic pantomine of murder on the banks of Bear creek is guar anteed to captivate the most hardened whodunit fan. The Hit or Miss Parade, Scene 6, recaptured the singing and dancing of the Roaring Twen ties, with the Charleston no less, well done by a lot of people who were really too young to remember the original. After the intermission, the Fred " Herring show followed with a medley of choral, solo and dance numbers. A compli cated soft shoe routine added to the nostalgic vaudeville at mosphere. . , One of the hits of this act was Riberace himself, complete with teeth, candelabra, . and brother George, also some amus ing patter. High School Orahtitra : The high school orchestra gave a very good original arrange ment of "Little Brown Jug" and performed nobly throughout the evening, furnishing all the music for the performance. After the Poof Girls, who plugged a fine .perfume guaran teed to make you disappear, if PRINCESS TO SAIL .

The sev enth yearly production of the Kapers is now being presented at the Medford High schooL Last year, the event raised a total of $4,167.14, and all of it went to boys' and girls' work in Jackson county. Representative figures listed by Kiwanians show examples of how it was spent, including $157 for surgery and hospitaliation on one hernia patient, , $25 for clothing and beddine for a 4-vear-old: $63 for milk for several weeks for a large family; $53 for glasses for three children; $435 for den tal work for eight children, and other similar expenses. Other Aid Given " In addition to these specific relatively smaller expenses for individual cases, which totaled more than $2,500, the Kiwanis club also gave money to help send the Medford High school band to the Shrine East-West game in San Francisco, contrib uted camperships for the YMCA, aided the Girl Scouts, and assist ed other similar projects. The amount of work and en thusiasm for the project is dem onstrated in the fact that , the cast of the Kapers alone is us ually more than 100, and the club's membership totals 113 men, members pointed out.- ASHLAND HURRY!
