o O O Southern Oregon-Orchestra Gives First of Three Concerts Medford music lovers"who attended the first concert for this "season of the Philharmonic Society of Southern Oregon yesterday afternoon were well rewarded. This small orchestra, conducted by Eichard D. Werner, does credit to southern Oregon and deserved larger audience than that which attended. Director Werner opened the i program wnn a UiucK overture, livelv march from Tchaikow- and the major work of the con cert, "Symphony in C Major' by Franz Joseph Haydn, was the second number of the afternoon. This composition provided an opportunity for the orchestra to show how much improvement has'beeh made since the re-organization and last year's con cert - improvement which was mstioned by many in the audi ence. The violin section is particu larly fine, and the entire or chestra appears superior to the original Philharmonic organized Jby Mr. "Werner several years ago. ' Mr. Werner, a violinist, was also the solo musician for this opening' concert. With John Drysdale,. assistant conductor, serving as director for this num ber, Mr. Werner and the orches tra plaved "Beethoven's Ro mance in G. Major." Although better known in southern Oregon as a violin teacher, Mr. Werner is also an accomplished soloist. A sound music education, in the German tradition of thoroughness,- com bined with his native ability has produced a fine violinist. Later in the program Mr. Wer ner played a group of three numbers which were particular ly delightful, and these were warmly applavded by the audi ence. Bruno Pellegrini served as accompanist and after hearing the group, this reviewer won dered again why soloists appear ing here for Jackson Coumy Civic Music association bother to import accompanists, and not outstanding ones, when such an excellent accompanist is to be found right here in Medford. The c r o u D included "Ro mance" by Paganini, a Brahms waltz and the especially beauti ful "Mazurka de Braura," by Musin. For encores Mr. Werner ".played "From a Wigwam" by O Burleigh, and "From the Cane brake," a Gardner composition. Following intermission the or chestra played Claude Debussy's "Maid with the Flaxen Hair" and three descriptive numbers by Cecil Burleigh. "Softly Rain ing," '"Pow Wow" and "Winter Fun." The concert closed with the sky's "Nutcracker Suite." Early in the new year the or chestra plans the second concert of the season with Paulena Car ter, pianist, as soloist. Those who attend the second concert might keep. in mind that Conductor Werner believes in promptness. Since the program yesterday was advertised for 3 p.m., it began exactly at that time and the doors were closed. About a score of late arrivals waited outside until the first number was concluded, and then found their seats.

IA Basks in Heaf, Winter Holds Grip By UNITED PRESS Desert winds made it feel like summer in Los Angeles today, but wintry weather gripped most of the rest of the nation. The Southern California "heat wave" was wafted in on desert winds which hit gusts of 35 miles per hour in the canyons. The temperature rose to 77 degrees at Los Angeles and more of the same was predicted today. More warming was expected in the plains and western Mid west, but there was no relief in sight for the vast area farther east. The temperature dropped to 15 below zero at Grantsburg, Wis., early today and Syracuse, N. Y., measured nine inches of snow on the ground, five inches of it deposited in a 12-hour per iod. Utica, N.

Some Jim-Dandies Offered Chicago OJ.R) So you ve done your Christmas shopping. But did you get something for your dog?

For instance, Marshall Field and Co. offers a custom tailored velvet coat of robin's egg blue, with a genuine mink collar and mink-trimmed pocket. Price S25. "This is as close as I ever got to mink." the salesgirl said as she caressed the collar. For an accessory you might consider a dusty pink velvet col lar and leash set with rhine stones, for only S24. Also available are rubber ga loshes, complete with buckles and straps. These come four to a set, naturally. Turtle neck sweaters are a the worst traffic week ends of the year in Oklahoma, with 12 dead counted. High winds over turned a helicopter in Louisiana and the plane's whirling blades killing an oil company worker. stock item, but in the luxury class there's a nubby tweed top coat trimmed with brown velvet collar and pocket. A green plaid wool topcoat for the male dog comes with a matching handkerchief in the pocket. Many of the coats are reversi ble. For the lady dog, there's a red and black check for every day wear. The reversible side is a shocking pink for dress occa sions. Maybe your dog would cher ish a terry cloth bathrobe in black and white harlequin pat tern. Terry cloth towels come with various breeds pictured on them. I i For the dog that strays there's a red raincoat that glows in the dark. Most of the raincoats come with hoods.

"We also have a little hat with an ostrich feather," reported Miss Dorothy Terp of the pet department. But you can't have every thing.
