"A great performance," said the music critic of "The Scots- a man," one or. Britain s most re snectprl newsnaners. O "One of the best choirs to be heard in this city for many yars," the critic of the influ ential "Glasgow Herald" said. The concert was the first of the choir's European tour. Opening of the performance was delayed while the ushers tried to sort out the huge crowds that poured into the hall seeking seats. Among them was Composer Cyril Jenkins who listened as the choir sang his oratorio "Light in Darkness." The program included hymns. Bach chorale and the old Scots Q o favorite "Annie Laurie." " Soloists were Gwen Harbe- recht and Alexander Schreiner. Both brought cheers from the audience, with some of the major applause going to Miss Harbe- recht's rendition of old ballads loved by the Scots. They applauded when Com mentator Richard L. Evans ask ed choir members with Scottish .blood to stand, and almost every member rose. The lord provost of Glasgow told the choir and Mormon lead er David O. Mackay that it had been "a great performance we will not forget. The "Scotsman" critic added "the choir tone was beautiful and the tenor section was some thing we seldom experience here." The audience praised the sing ers clear enunciation and tone.

The 'Teal" birthday party was th2 barbecue today on the lush green lawns of the Gothic castle where the royal family, besieged by thousands of tourists and newsmen, is vacationing. The only non-royal guest was tall, handsome Dominic Elliott, son of the Scottish earl of Minto, a graduate of Eaton and a mem ber of the swank Scots Guards. Thousands of tourists and newsmen haunted the outer wa.'ls of Balmoral in hope some announcement would be made of Princess Margaret's marriage' ph.ns. But some observers pre dicted that any such plans would be kept within the royal family until the current excitement dies down. Dominic Elliott was a new name among Margaret's suitors but most of the British press re garded him as just a friend and possibly a "stalking horse" to take some of the heat off specu lation of a romance between Margaret and Group Capt. Peter Tcwnsend. Now that the princess is 25 she is free to marry without the consent of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, provided she gives Parliament a year's notice and it raises no objection. The fact that Captain Town- send is a divorced man was the main stumbling block, if Mar garet really wants to marry him. Balmoral Castle, Scotland Authoritative sources said today that handsome, divorced -RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend did not even send a token birth day gift to Princess Margaret for her 25th birthday. The princess has been report ed still romantically interested in the flier. His divorce made it impossible for them to marry until after Margaret turned 25 and was free to wed without the consent of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II. Press and public in Britain and elsewhere had speculated that the vivacious princess would announce her intention to marry the captain shortly aft er her birthday, which occurred yesterday. Gifts were showered on Prin cess Margaret from many quar ters. But persons in a position to know said there was a con spicuous lack of any birthday gift from Townsend. Souvenir Booths Add to Charm of Festival Program Ashland Adding to the charm and gaiety of the Shakes peare festival this year are the lighted booths in the back of the theatre sponsored by Tudor guild and other festival auxil iary organizations.

Festival officials warned that the play is extremely "broad," and played . uncut, it is not recommended for children. "The Elizabethans were not noted for delicacy," Producing Director Angus Bowmer states, "but "Ti mon' possibly made a few of Shakespeare's audience blush in certain scenes." A sizeable audience Tuesday evening will send the festival attendance figures soaring. Since last Wednesday evening, aud iences have been consistently large. Over 700 people, the larg est crowd ever to see a history play in Ashland, attended "Hen ry VI" Saturday evening. Sun day, usually poor at the boxof fice, saw approximately 900 peo ple pack the theatre for "Mid summer Night's Dream." Lawrence Luy Named To Board of Directors Lawrence W.

Paul Patterson stopped to load or unload pas- today issued an open message urging the people of Oregon to observe National Child Safety week, Sept. 4 to 11. The object of Child Safety week, sponsored nationally by the America Safety league, is to enlist parents, teachers, police and others to cultivate safe walking and bike riding habits in children. The league also re minds motorists to practice ex tra caution in school zones and when encountering school buses. The governor put special em phasis on the school bus stop law. Nearly 1,800 school buses will be on the roads this year, he declared. The law requires motorists to come to a full stop when meet ing of" overtaking a school bus sengers. The only exception, ap proaching traffic on the opposite side of a four lane roadway may proceed with caution. Secretary of State EarlT. Newbry said better than 360 school patrols will be back at crosswalks throughout the state as the school year gets underway. Give your wooden serving ware special care for longer wear.
