DRYSDALE The Civic Music association members of southern Oregon turned out en0masse Friday night at the Medford high school auditorium to see and hear the finest concert ever to be held in this area. The ensemble, making their first United States tour, played with warmth and enthusiasm. Mr. de Stoutz conducted with great vitalitv and yet. during the delicate passages his baton technique was as smooth as the ripples on a pond It was evident from the open ing movement of Handel's "Con certo Grosso in D Major," that each member of the group was an artist on his particular in strument. First Performance The audience was further hon ored by hearing the first Unit ed States performance of the "String Serenade" by the con temporary Swiss composer, Peter Micg. This proved to be a delightfully contrasting num ber? as well as a tremendously difficult one. It was upon hear ing this composition that the audience fully realized just what a phenomenal group the Zurich Little symphony truly is. The "Concerto in A Minor for Violin and Orchestra," by Bach, wasP performed with classical grace and stateliness. The con certmaster, Arpad Gerez, even though somewhat indisposed, in terpreted the solo with feeling and artistry. Mazart's "Divertimento in D Iajor," proved to be another high point of the evening. The instrumentalists played tne: al legro and presto movements with such sparkle and f lawless ness, that the listener found himself (iifted along with the vivaciousness of the composition. Mr. de . Stoutz's interpretation of the andante section, especially the dynamic contrasts achieved, was artistic in every sense. Upon speaking with the conduc tor, after the concert, it was learned that Mozart composed this number at the age of It is difficult to describe the magnificent rendition given Tschaikovsky's "Serenade in C Major." Each of the four move ments was perfection to the high est degree. The walzer, familiar to all music lovers, was given a fresh, lilting interpretation, and the muted passages in the elegie left one breathless. The great romanticism of Tschaikov sky's music was deeply felt by everyone in attendance as the orchestra and conductor built towards the tremendous climax of the finale. A near ovation followed this number, and the conductor was called back to the stage many times to acknowl edge the sincere applause of an impressed and grateful audience, formed the allegro movement As an encore, the symphony per from Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Suite." The sincerity and warmth of Mr.- de Stoutz and the members of the symphony, as well, as the excellence and artistry of the concert, made this a happy musi cal evening, and one to be long remembered in the Iogue valley. rRBMT E.

Food Color Important, Specialist Declares Urbana. 111. U.R) A sprig of parsley adds a "cheery" touch to foods, and the " dark-purplish color of dried prunes seems to depress most eaters, according to a University of Illinois food specialist. Mary McAuley said food col ors "can actually influence j'our appetite, taste sensation and re action to a meal." There are popular food colors and unpopu lar ones, to which men and wo men react alike. Miss McAuley said the combi nation of white and green is "an appetite-teaser," while yel low is one of the "most favored" food colors. Dark colors are "undesirable" in food, she added, which ex plains "why the dark-purplish color of dried prunes seems to depress most eaters." Women to Look Like Valentines Miami, Fla. (U.R) Wom en at winter resorts this year will look like outsize Valen tines. That is, if a Miami fashionjie- signer has his way. Alix of Miami predicted that lace will be a fashion favorite from morning to night. The designer said there is nothing "old fashioned" about the lace styles. "On the contrary," he said, "I would call . these ultra-modern."- ; -' Alix has-designed bathing suits, skirts, blouses, formal frocks and other finery, all in lace. "Lace makes the woman like a beautiful Valentine," said Alix. - ' Grandpa came a-visiting again, and as usual, he left us regret ting that he had not stayed longer and marvelling at his mental capacity and physical v stamina. For Grandpa, who will be 85 come May, had been on a tour of the United States for the past j several weeks by bus,Grandpa, 'who knows that he will be j welcome, just appeared by our desk one morning, filled with 1 enthusiam about all the places he had been and the sights that he had seen. . . - This time we were not too surprised to find that he had come all the way from Los 'Angeles by bus without a stop-over, for that's what he did three years ago when he took a similar trip east. Before, he had complained of the dullness of the trip through California none of his traveling companions had anything in teresting to offer in the way of conversation. This time there had been the flood sights and talk, and the trip had gone quickly. While Grandpa had enjoyed his visit in New York City, mainly because'a daughter lives there, he reported more enthusiastically en a stay with a nephew in Florida. For Grandpa is a gardener a retired orchardist and "green-thumb" gardener, and he felt at home in Florida with its flower gardens, citrus groves and many growing things.

Grandpa's most amusing story of the trip concerned an Indian, a young man, who sat near him during the trip across Colorado. The Indian, somewhat the worse for liquor, for some reason or the other took a fancy to Grandpa's new oxfords and endeavored to put over a trade. Money-wise, Grandpa would probably have had the better of the deal for the young Indian was wearing cowboy-type boots which were encrusted with elaborate bead work. The whole family fell into gales of laughter at what a sight Grand pa would have made arriving in Medford wearing his battered felt hat, well-worn tweed suit and gaudy cow-boy boots. The average American home isa mess, says Robert Glauber, public relations expert and co-editor of the Beloit Poetry Journ al. Mr. G., who recently expressed his decided opinions in a lec ture at Beloit college on good taste in the home, says there just isnt much good taste in the average American home. The Wisconsin man calls doorbell chimes, "nasty," says most wallpaper looks like dirty oatmeal and that three-fourths of the pictures in homes are hung so high . one has to mount a step ladder in order to see them. United Press quotes Mr. Glauber as saying "You see mon strosities like lamps with shades held up by a Chinese peasant in red pajamas; spleen-snaped chairs to go with kidney-shaped desks, pillows with Old Faithful on them and chandeliers that resemble old wagon wheels." Furthermore, Mr. Glaubersays the average home interior is a cross between "early Roxy theater and late Howard Johnson," and the lecturer concluded by saying "Standards of good taste are not instinctive but must be acquired, and good taste grows slowly." Anyone like to argue with him? ., Oregon comes in for considerable mention in a travel article in the last Saturday Review some good, some bad. The author, Maynard O. Williams, who wrote about traveling around the U. S., complains that while Oregon has some very impressive scen ery, the new roads by-pass cnuch of it in the interest of quicker travel. He further tells how he tried to get into Crater Lake Na tional park and couldn't by the road he first chose, finding this out after he had driven 11 miles past a road block which wasn't marked with a road-closed sign. "Where on earth is so much breath-taking beauty readily available as in our National Parks?" asks Author Williams. "But some beauty spots, accessible to yesterday's rare motorists, are lost to the beauty-chasing millions of today. Its 'peanut' predeces sors did better by us than does our multi-million dollar budget. World-famed roads our fathers built are falling into disrepair. "Time and again I have . returned to Oregon to look on our most 'impressive river from the high-hung Columbia river high way, still used in travel folders as tourist bait. Some of the tun nels are closed and stretches of rare scenic beauty are neglected or abandoned. The new, smooth, water-level route is a rat-race between trucks and those eager beavers who take the low road in order to be in Portland or Walla Walla, before ye. To me this seems a breach of faith, not only with Crown Point, Multnomah Falls and Hood River, but with Oregon's paying guests; chivalry defended beauty better than tourism." Author Williams returns to his theme about how state parks should be made more available? pointing out that the summer sea son is short and that whenever possible, roads should be kept open during the winter. He told how he and his wife had tried to enter Yosemite National park from the east in June, only to find "The Tioga Pass road is subject to the calendar, not weath er." Then he continued: "Unwarned by any road sign, we motored up to the east en trance of Crater Lake National park, only to find that the Pin nacles road, highly praised in tourist literature, was still closed. On the road-block, 11 miles from the junction, where a warning should have been posted, but wasn't, some wag had scribbled, youse guys oughta be forced to walk those 11 miles.' "When, by a devious route, we reached Crater Lake, the 1 dramatic Rim road was closed, both by man and mist. But had the weather been perfect it was still closed." - Potpourri is glad that weeks like last one don't come often. First it brought distressing news about a fine friend, then we were shocked by the untimely death of a neighbor girl, only 17 years of age, and this was followed by the news that "Fergie had died. It was E. C. Ferguson who hired Potpourri to work at the Tribune, and it was Fergie who helped to make the first few months of "settling in" to a new job easier than they might have otherwise been. Those were the war years, the staff was short and the news was grim. ! But Fergie was kind and loyal and good-natured, he had a i high sense of humor and largely because of Fergie and the pattern he set for the news room, the work which might have been drudg ery was, and still is, wonderful fun. These words fall far short of what Potpourri would like to write, but Fergie, could he read them, would understand. O.S. Women's Fellowship Announces Meeting .
