J - TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Folk Hero Is Character In Drama There really was a Johnny Appleseed, as children of the Mcdford area will realize after having seen the play of that name at the Craterian theater on October 9. It is sponsored by Mcdford branch, American Asso ciation of University Women. Born John Chapman in the ear when the first battles of the Revolutionary War were fought, he led an uneventful childhood in Massachusetts. It wasn't until he crossed the' Appalachian mountains in 1797, when he was 23 years old. that his outstanding personality began to attract at tention. One of America's folk heroes, thfre is so much myth mixed with the facts about him that playwrights Mercedes Gardner and Jean Shannon Smith spent months of research in an attempt to pull aside the mythical cur tain and see the man behind it. Commonly known as "that Yankee tree peddler" who plant ed seeds throughout the wilder ness, he was a pioneer, a fron tiersman, a woodsman of great skill. Friend to the Indian, lover of children, a renowned teller of tall tales, he left the mark of his individuality across the face of early America. Having heard favorable re ports of the Alleghany country, he left Wyoming Valley in 1797 with his rifle, a tomahawk and just enough provisions to make the trip. In his pack he carried a small quantity of appleseeds. These facts are used as the basis for the Children's Theater production. In the area at that time were tribes of Seneca Indians. In the play Johnny befriends one of them. To those they respected, the Senecas gave names and oft en the names indicated the Indi ans' interest in growing things. Although no one has ever known how John Chapman became Johnny Appleseed, the facts in dicated to the playwrights that the name may have been given to Chapman by an Indian who had befriended him and knew of his love for growing apple seedlings. Performances are scheduled for 1:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Tickets will be on sale at ele mentary schools Monday and Tuesday noons and at the box office.

Los Angeles 27, California- '"My husband finds fault with me," complains Sandra, "and criticizes me constantly before our friends. He embarrasses me so much that I hate to go out with company."' ' Joan bawls me out everytime we play cards," says Bill, "until I've decided never to touch an other card when she's across the table from me." "My mother always scolds about the little things I do wrong," wails Betty, "but she never . notices the things I do well." "I've stopped trying to please Dad," grumbles Junior. "He's al ways telling me what a dope I am with tools he's a mechanic, and I can t do anything right when I work with him.'-' Criticism is strong medicine. It can both kill and cure. Used constructively, it can guide work ers to greater production, inspire youngsters to follow worthwhile leaders, encourage the elderly to remain creative in a work-a-dayworld. In short, it can change failure to success with a posi tive approach. Negative criticism, on the oth er hand, is responsible for many failures, for antagonisms, misun derstandings, and needless dis couragement. "Why can't you do anything right?" says Mom ta John when he blunders through a garden ing chore and then Mom won ders why John is not willing to mow the lawn, mend the screen door, or work on his school home work in the evening at her sug gestion. "Jane believed in me." says a successful business man. "We always talked things over, and she never criticized just sug gested new ways of looking at problems. I owe a lot to her!" "Don't play with the matches. Albert," was Queen Victoria's way of disciplining. "Don't play with the matches" is still sound advice, but today's child hears it in a positive form, ' .
