Society Workshop Aids Parents to Plan Discussion Units Parents' interest in the every day problems of their children is the starting point of discus sion groups. This conclusion was pointed out at the discussion group workshop sponsored joint ly by parent-teacher associations and of the county and Jackson County Public Health associa tion. The meeting took place at First Methodist church in Medford, and was the first in a series designed to help local discus sion groups obtain the most value from their meetings. The next meeting will be held in November to summarize the ex periences of the groups during the next two months. Women from all sections of Jackson county came to offer and exchange ideas on both the type of problems to be discussed and the best way to conduct local group discussions. The ex cellent material furnished by many of the popular magazines today was stressed. Lack of for mality creates the easiest atmos phere for lively exchanges of opinions and experiences, it was stated by the majority of the wo men. Dr. Harry Danielson, consult ing psychiatrist, pointed out the wide range of normal behaviour among children. How to recognize a problem from or- i dinary "growing pains" was dis f cussed. ' Extension Gives Color Workshop Ways of bringing new colors into Jackson County homes are being explored this week, as 44 projects leaders meet in the auditorium of the Jackson Coun ty courthouse in workshops con ducted by Mrs. Maud Purvine. county extension agent-at-large, Oregon State college. "We're trying to help women learn how to select fabrics, how to combine colors effectively, and show them how they can help others spice up their homes with color," says Mrs. Purvine. Step-by-step direction for mak ing sofa pillows will be taught in the workshops, September 25 through October 4. "Sofa pillows are good ways to experiment with adding accent to a room. At the same time they are econ omical and easy to make." When the Jackson county project leaders return to their communities they will offer the same lesson to their extension units, which are open to any women in the county who want to learn more about color in the home.

(International Soundphoto) Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBV United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R Note to Queen Elizabeth and rioting teen-agers in London, Oslo and all over the United States who saw Hol lywood's first rock 'n roll movie: An other that jumps even more is in the works. Pro duccr Aline Mocby Sam K a t z- man's first quickly-made musical on the new jazz craze, "Rock Around the Clock," has had teen agers dancing in the theater aisles and turning fire hoses on each other. The movie outgrossed "The King and I" in the Philippines. Teen-agers were so moved by the picture in London that theaters had to be closed on Sun day. Even Queen Elizabeth asked to see the picture. In Hollywood the rule is: If you succeeded, do it over again. So the seams at Columbia studio are bursting again with pand emonium for a new Kratzman rock 'n roll picture, "Rhythm and Blues." Four Bands Featured "Rock Around the Clock" star red four bands, including Bill Haley and his Comets doing 19 musical numbers. The sequel will quiver the theaters with 21 numbers played by seven bands, including Haley again. Katzman heretofore has been known for science-fiction, hor ror and jungle thrillers, but he's taken options on Haley's band for the next three years be cause, "I think rock n roll is here to stay." "Last spring my 17-ycar-old boy brought home some rock 'n' roll records and started rollin' all over the place," explained Katzman. "You start liking it. 1 decided papa had to get a rock 'n roll picture. "We finished it in March and had it in the theaters in April. It's broke box office re cords all over the world." Movie Set Jumps The set of "Rhythm and Blues" is what Spike Jones would call "crazy, man" In one corner of the stage Bill Appel and his Appeljacks are beating out "Don't Knock the Rock," while dancers perform in jitter bug frenzy (Director Fred Fears says rock 'n' roll dancing is too tame so they added jitterbug). Another entertainer in the pic ture is Little Richard, a fellow with a five-inch high crewcut who sings "Long Tall Sally." Even the big-budget movies are hopping on the rock 'n' roll Georgia-Pacific Purchase Nearer Portland UP.) The pro posed purchase of the Hammond Lumber Co. by the Georgia-Pacific corporation moved a step nearer reality yesterday with the completion of financing plans by Georgia-Pacific for ac quisition of the 373,388,000 Ham mond holdings. Financing plans call for the issue of additional share of com mon stock that would net the corporation about S15 million. It appeared likely that the deal involving 4 million board feet of timber would be culminated sometime next month. Hammon, at one time a large timber concern in Oregon, is now chiefly centered in northern California with mills at Eureka and Samoa. Under terms of the purchase, Hammon would oper ate as a separate but wholly own ed subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific under the name Hammon-Calif-ornia Redwood company. Under the financing plan, Georgia-Pacific would issue to Hammon S15.388.000 in deben tures due in 1976. Completion of the transaction would make Georgia-Pacific one of the largest private timber Wednesday. September 26, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE holders in the country.
