October 2. 1956 Folk Music Featured For Play American folk music is fea tured in "Johnny Appleseed," children's theater production be ing presented at the Craterian theater October 9, under auspices of. Medford branch, American Association of University Wo men. In 1797, the period of the play, much of America's music was "borrowed" from homelands of the settlers. Irish, Scotch, Ger man, African, French, Swedish and English settlers brought to the new country the songs of their own lands. Eventually these songs somehow became "melted together" and completely Amer ica's first song probably belong was too new for this process to have begun. Particularly did English tunes dominate, for there were more English in the country over a longer period of time than any other nationality. So it is to the English the tune of Amer ica's frist song probably belong ed. The song. "My Days Are So Wonderous Free," was composed by Francis Hopkinson, a prom inent American who had com posed songs at the request of George Washington. He wrote the song in 1759 and it seems logical to assume it would have been sung through out the colonies by 1797. The song is sung in the play by Johnny Appleseed, accompanied by Dan McQuade on the guitar. One of the Mother Goose folk songs, "Fiddle Dee Dee," is also included in the play. A record ed version of "Yankee Doodle" will open the curtains at 1:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Club to Hear Scientist Members of Rogue Valley Knife and Fork club and their guests will hear a report direct from Geneva on the prospects of the atomic age and on the coming changes in American business and in living conditions the world over when Dr. Gerald Wendt speaks to the club on "What to Expect from Science."

His book, "Nu clear Energy and Its Uses in Peace" was issued by the United Nations to all the 900 reporters for the press, radio and television at the conference to enable them to understand the technical papers and discussions. A popular American version, under the title "You and the Atom" has just been published in New Y'ork.
