B. Iden Payne of
Festival Speaks
At Rotary Meeting
"Drama has arisen out of re
ligion and has never really
departed from it." B. 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the outdated, much-loved cable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.

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.
