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. O.S.

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

snowfall.
A warm-up in the Pacific
Northwest was accompanied by
heavy rains which pelted As
toria, Ore., with nearly three
inches in 24 hours. Seattle was
doused with a 1.37-inch rainfall.

Did You Remember Christmas Gift for
Your Dog? Some Jim-Dandies Offered
Chicago OJ.R) So you ve
done your Christmas shopping.
But did you get something for
your dog?
A spot check of department
stores and pet shops discloses a
wide selection of gifts for man's
best friend.
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

and the plane's whirling blades

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.
Von Lengerke and Antoine
offers coats with pockets to hold
compasses for lost dogs, or can
dy bars for friendly dogs.
"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. A woman called one store
and asked for rhinestone ear
rings for her poodle. The store
didn't have them.
P.S.: You can get them at
Hammacher and Schlemmer in
New York, along with a canine
perfume called Kennel 5.
