Newspaper Page Texti . ; . TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Winged Victory Chorus Is Featured In Concert Here By RICHARD D. WERNER The fourth Civic Music asso ciation concert last night at Med ford High school auditorium fea tured the Winged Victory chorus, late of the 43rd Infantry divis ion and directed by Joseph Baris, who developed the group while overseas. And a splendid chorus it is. It does one good to see young men band together for an artistic purpose. They sing well, perform well, have a fine " ensemble, a good : director and excellent spirit. ' Music is a serious thing to them, and they strive for their best. There was never any let down in effort and' though the program was long, at no time was there any feeling of "going through the motions." One sensed their feeling of pride in themselves and their work. And ' the audience, responded heartily. Varied Program A varied program demon strated the catholicity of the di rector's taste. Beginning with church works, it was immedi ately evident that ; here were fresh voices intent on giving meaning and substance to the music. There was a- vibrancy so often lacking in choral groups, and a concentration of tone that lifts this chorus very much above the ordinary. In decided contrast was "The Omnipotence" by Schubert, also religious in character ' but per formed decidedly in the roman tic manner. This is very subtle direction. Then to the great Palestrina! This music, so grandly fashioned of "luscious beauty of pure sound" was balm to the ear of today that must withstand the onslaught of modern combina tions of noises called music. Soprano Missing . The Hallelujah chorus from Beethovans oratorio. "The Mount of Olives" was very well done but we missed the quality of the soprano and alto voices as orig- j MOTOROLA 35995 AS LOW AS Mahogany Color LESS YOUR TRADE-IN Prices include Fed. tax and 1-year picture tube warranty Your trade-in gets you big allowance en brand new Swivel-Console.

The second group included "Valse Triste" by Sibelius, "Rus sian Picnic" by Enders, "The Three Bells" by Villard and "La Danza" by Rossini. The last three came off well. The "Valse" suffered from lack of enough variety of tonal color and some poor intonation. Some pieces should not be arranged for voices and this is one. After intermission we were brought back to America and her music. In part four of Randall Thompson's "The Testament of Freedom" was heard a . stirring composition done with intensity and meaning. These ex-GI's knew what they were singing about. Spiritual, Folk Songs This was followed by some spirituals and a folk song, all beautifully sung. Diction was outstanding here. ; 1 :- Part four of the program took us through, some of the works of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Romberg and Jerome Kern.- A medley from "South Pacific" closed the program with, as the director said, "a punch." There were no encores. ' Special mention should be made of the singing of , Dick Shrove and Justin Paul, tenors. They have good voices and with training can realize successful solo careers. Heinz Neumann was excellent; a fine baritone voice with excellent diction and a man capable of great feeling. Ben Woodward, bass, did "Ole Man River" acceptably well. This is a difficult solo, especial ly after so many great singers have done it. Jerry Malta was at the piano, as the program stated, but he was also "with" the director and the chorus. . Joseph Baris, the director, . de serves high praise for his work with this group and we hope, as he said, "that (we) - will' have them again." Great Americans : Subject Of Assembly at School "Great Americans All," a pa triotic program honoring some of the great Americans of the past, was presented by the fourth grades of Jackson school recent ly. All fourth grade children par ticipated and helped portray the lives of great men and women of American history. The program included a play, poems, choral reading, songs by the chorus and dancing the Vir ginia Reel, depicting the nation's founding and growth. '.. The program was viewed by all children of Jackson school and many parents. , .... Orr fo Attend Meeting In Washington, D.C.

Earth Bombarded By Great Array Of Cosmic Rays Chicago - (U.R) Scientists rushed today to measure the ef fects of a huge fiery blast on the sun and the greatest cosmic ray bombardment of the earth in recorded history. - " Balloons carrying research ap paratus climbed 22 miles into the stratosphere to record the mysterious cosmic artillery. Sci entific reports were also await ed from areas as remote as Admiral Richard Byrd's expedi tion near the South Pole. No Danger to Humans . Physicists at the University of Chicago, who first announced the J solar bombardment, ' said there was no danger to human beings. . : . However, interference with television and radio reception and deadening of the trans-At lantic telephone is possible, they said. It is even conceivable that TV sets in the Midwest could suddenly pick : up programs originating in Europe. The cosmic ray bombardment started Wednesday, 30 minutes after a mammoth blast of fiery gases on the sun, possibly equal to the force of a million hydro gen bombs. i Fifth on Record - The giant flare on the sun was the fifth of its kind on rec ord, and the cosmic bombard ment was the greatest since sci entists " began studying the mysterious rays. Scientists at Chicago said cos mic rays were hitting the earth and zipping through everything at the rate of 3000 a minute 15 times the usual rate. An even greater intensity was recorded at Climax, Colo.
