Welsh Numbers On Program for Thomas Concert Thomas L. Thomas, who will open the concert season for Jack son County Civic Music associ ation with a recital here Friday, December 2, is native of Maes teg, South Wales. Singing comes naturally to a- Welshman, it is said, and Mr. Thomas spent the first 11 years of his life in the typically Welsh atmosphere of traditional appreciation of mu sic. His father, a coal miner, be came first flutist of the London Philharmonic orchestra, and the singer's home town boasted its own orchestra, two oratorio societies and several fine church choirs. The family migrated to Amer ica and settled in Scranton, Pa., where young Thomas sang in many performances during his school days. The baritone's program here tomorrow night will include a group of Welsh folk songs, a number of old Scotch and Eng lish airs and compositions by French and Italian composers. The program also will include "Brindisi" from the opera "Ham let" by Abroise Thomas, and an aria from Mozart's "The Mar riage of Figaro." Grange Roxy Ann Grange The Rory Ann Grange met with a good attendance at the last meeting. Plans for their annual Thanks giving were discussed. The Thanksgiving dinner was a success and there was a big crowd. We were also surprised and glad to have two of our old members arrive back on that day in time to have dinner with the Grange. We wish to wel come back Mr. and Mrs. Bob Warren who have been living down in California. Our next meeting is Dec. 2 and the lecture program is to be held before the meeting as children .from the Lone Pine school will put on the program. Blitte Falls Grange Social night at the Butte Falls Grange was held Nov. 19 witn a pot-luck supper. Twenty mem bers attended.

The Grange's regular meeting will be held Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Dan McKeen and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Mattern will be the refreshment commit tee at that time. : 4 For a dessert that's as exciting as it is easy to make, try Dutch Pearadise Pie. It's made with versatile, spicy canned Bartlett pears; is truly a new taste sensa tion and best of all, from the housewife's viewpoint, it's quick and easy to make. The crust re quires no rolling, the filling re quires no pre-cooking, yet the final product is pretty as a pic-j ture and so delicious everyone will demand second servings. ' 'r ' ' "KXU!' Thomas L. Thomas, baritone, Friday, December 2, for members of association at Medford Senior High time is 8 o'clock. Americans Painting Homes At Record Rate; Do Own Work By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) We are painting our homes, inside and out, at a record rate. Our urge to spruce up the old, as well as to build new homes and apartments, "re the major reasons why the paint industry ranks seventh among U. S. indus I tries now. It was in 158th place in 1933. o Next year we are expected to top our own painting record. The government has designated 1956 as National Home Improving Year. We will put more than 150 million gallons of paint inside or outside our walls. Much of that will be applied by a member of the family. The do-it-yourself movement has in fected all income groups and is made constantly more contagious by development of new paints and easier ways to apply it. One survey of 6,000 families by the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, Inc., showed that 80 per cent did their own inside painting and 64 per cent did their own outside paint ing. Fire Fighter Chemists are working on no dirt walls, coated with paint which will repel dust particles, and decorative fire-proof paint, Portland Players , Attend Session Of Duplicate Club Mr. and Mrs. C.

Concert which will give off a gas that douses flames when heated. We have more than twice as many paint colors to choose from as we did before World War II, and everybody is color conscious. Sales of flat white paint have dropped 64 per cent in the same period, "We also are trying to see that paint is easier to buy," said Doug las C. Arnold, president of the Keystone Paint and Varnish cor poration. "Buying paint should not require experience or Un usual technical knowledge." Yet professional painters, who obviously could find their jobs endangered by the development of family painting talent, are pleased at the results of the do- it-yourself paintfhg surge. They say it has started everybody thinking abogi redecorating, but not inspired, everybody to So the work. One Worry At present the painting boom has caused only one worry. The next generation may find itself forced into being do-it-yourself painters. "Nobocfy is raising his son to be a painter any more," said J. W. Zucker, past president of the National Contractors' association and head of a contracting firm which maintains Rockefeller Center and .18,000 New York city apartments. "I asked 2,000 contractors at one meeting how many were raising their sons to be painters," Zucker said. "Six raised their bands. Painters are sending their sons to college to be doctors and lawyers. I don't know where we are going to get young men to be apprentices." & the new miracle brain EL No dials to set. Ho knobs to turn.
