In accord with na tional league policy, there is no " general appeal for funds, but contributions are solicited from a relatively small, selected list of interested persons. The league approaches them as citizens who are concerned with increasing citizen participa tion in government and who are glad to support the league as a community asset which strength ens the democratic processes. The prorram for the Mcdford league this year will include activity in several fields of study and action according to Mrs. R. B. Hiatt. president. The voters service will hold a can didates fair this fall, to which all the committee candidates on the November ballot will be in vited. This will be the Medford league first candidates fair, but it has been in use in other com munities for sometime and has proved itself to be a worthwhile undertaking, giving an opportu nity for all to 'meet the can didates. At such fairs, there are .no speeches. Each candidate has his own booth and is free to do what ever he desires as long as he utilizes only his booth. The pub'ic is free to talk to everyone. A new study of national scope is to get under way this year a survey of the conservation of water resources. The compila tion of the national study of the effect of foreign trade in the local community has been pub lished by the national League and has been made available to the public.

Hamlet Costumes Title of Article Ashland "Hamlet Costumes from Garrick to Gielgud," by Douglas Russell, costumier of the Oregon Shakespearean festi val, is one of the articles in the ninth volume of the annual "Shakespeare Survey," publish ed by the Cambridge University Press. The article is illustrated with 36 reproductions of engravings and photographs. James Sandoe, University of Colorado professor and festival director, has written the follwing comment of. the ar ticle. "The book is edited by Allar-, dyce Nicoll of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham, where Mr. Russell studied for a year. His concern in the article is the changes in costume styles as they reflect a change in taste and in the con ception of the play. Garrick, for instance, wore the court dress of his own day (he played the role first in 1742), but when Macrea dy attempted a more "historical dress" in 1840 or so, he was called (not without reason) 'gro tesque.' "Macready's 'historical cos tuming,' of many sorts, was pre ferred for more than a century, so that when Sir Barry Jackson presented Hamlet in 'modern dress' ... a radical departure in 1925 . . . Colin Keith-Johnston wore plus-fours and shiny shoes that had obviously never met a golf course. "Mr. Russell's article is witty and illuminating, and the plates of celebrated actors in the role of Hamlet will remind festival playgoers by contrast how su perlatively Mr. Russell costumes the plays of the season, with a remarkably acute balance of the historical and the tasteful, domi nated by his admirable concern for play and for production." Auxiliary Hears Festival Report First Place Won Phoenix At a meeting of Phoenix Lions' auxiliary held j last week at the home of Mrs. Andrew Munro, it was reported j that the float entered by .the Lions and auxiliary in the Phoe-j nix May festival had won first prize and a trophy.
