Iden Payne, directer of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, told the Medford Rotary club here Tues day in a luncheon address at the Jackson hotel. The Shakespearean acier and directer emphasised the pliycho logical effect of a dramatic play on the audience. The viewers have a feeling of sharing the ex periences of the adept actor, he said. The 'community of feeling" felt by actors and audience "is akin to religious group expe riences in which there is a gen uine emerging of emotions. This phenomonon is impossible in mechanical forms of entertain ment such as motion pictures and television, he said. Two Great Eras There were two great eras of drama noted in history, Payne said. One was in ancient Greece and the other in Shakespeare's time. It was then that the liv ing stage reached artistic heights and actors achieved high social status. Director Payne, who was in troduced by Manager Bill Patton of the Festival association spent part of his career at the ; famous Stafford memorial the atre at Stratford on Avon in Eng land, and was a director of the famous John Barrymore in his first dramatic role. D. Ford McCormick -was Ro tary program chairman and President Weldon Kline presided. Delay Seen in Hiring Planning Engineer Yreka A delay is now pos sible in the hiring of a planning consultant fro Siskiyou county after Supervisor Don Avery told a Wednesday meeting of the county planning commission he had heard some criticism of the Wise firm's work in Shanta county. "I thing the firm should be investigated further before a contract is signed." Avery said. Planning commissioners had considered hiring Wise, a Red wood City consultant, on the basis of his planning experience, particularly in Monterey county, which has retained the firm's close in size to the record Amer ican Medical Association conven tion in June, 1954, which drew 43.000. One reason San Francisco Is such a popular convention city is its weather. The average high in August is 65; average low. 54. The average year-around tem perature is 56.7. Another, reason for San Fran cisco's popularity is what natives like to call "charm." There are the outdated, much-loved cable cars. There's Fisherman'3 Wharf where crabs and lobsters are boiled and sold on the street: Chinatown with its jade and chopsticks: Montgomery Street, the "financial center of the West." There are San Francisco Bay and its two bridges. There are houses built precariously on hill sides defying another earth quake. There are views of all these things from the city's many hills. And there are plenty of bars, fine restaurants and night clubs. Drinks usually run 50 cents for a highball or juartini. Beer is 3d or 35 cents. Haircuts are $1.75. Cabs are 50 cents for the first one-third mile and 10 cents for each one-third mile thereafter. LOVE FRCM THE START Pompton Plaines, N. J. (U.P.) Chilton Memorial hospital has put a rocking chair in its nur sery so newborn babies could start right off enjoying love, af fection and cuddling. services for about 20 years. Planning Commission Sec retary Carl Johnson explained that the county would pay S300 a month for four days work each month, two days of which would be in the field, and two in the office. Extra work will be S100 per day plus S50 per day for extra office work, Johnson said. Chairman Don Sirianni said his experience with planning consultants indicated that the Wise firm's rates are reasonable. aaii'i i nr riiwfjrfrrril (Vodka in orange juice) Is It leaves you brytthless mirnoff the qreaicst name a -VOBKA 80 Proof Dist. from gram.
