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.

be the first meeting of the season
for the club, and it will be held
at Rogue Valley Country club be
ginning at 6:45 p.m.
Use of Science
To Be Topic of
Dinner Speaker
It is not only the new spirit of
nationalism that is transforming
the world, but the new apprecia
tion and use of science in the
non-European nations according
to Dr .Gerald Wendt, director of
the Institute for Atomic Develop
ments in New York. Dr. Wendt,
who for three years had charge
of the world-wide program of
science education for the United
Nations Educational. Scientific

Dr. Wendt believes that the
age of science is only in its in
fancy, and has said "in all coun
tries each generation will live
better than the one before. Even
in America it is practically im
possible" to imagine what life will
be like for our children, most of
whom will live well into the 21st
century. But one thing is sure;
the birthplace of the future is in
the laboratories of science."
This is the first fall meeting of
the club.

'"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, '
