Reviewer Praises Symphony;
Claimed 'Phenomenal Group7
By JOHN E. 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.

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.
