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.
Mrs. Bruce Pingle was in
charge of entertainment after
wards and all enjoyed the games.
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.

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.

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.

school auditorium. Concert
which will give off a gas that

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."
