The troupe, now in Singapore, was informed last weekend that it might reach the end of its tour in Ceylon because it would cost too much to send the 30 dancers all the way around the world, as originally planned. But Monday Harold F. Chris tensen, director of the San Fran cisco Ballet School, rceived word of new plans from Robert C. Schnitzer of the American Na tional Theater and Academy in New York. The ANTA is cosponsoring the tour with the State Department. "We are trying to plan a re vised tour to include Ceylon, Bombay and Karachi, plus the laint possibility of side trips to Lahore and Tehran," Schnitzer said. "Great efforts are being made to salvage the major portions of the balance of the tour." Christensen understood this to mean that two weeks instead of five would be lopped off the original itinerary. The troupe left here January 6 and has played to packed houses from Tokyo to Penang. The State Department had provided the original grant of S200.800 for the tour under its cultural exchange program. It felt it could not come up with the S60,000 extra the tour cost. State Department officials in Washington informed San Fran cisco officials the ballet had had a "warm reception" and that its "good will results were highly gratifying ..." The San Francisco troupe gave two performances in the valley last winter, one in Ashland and one in Medford.

IT T High School Play Production Brings interesting Problems It takes more than jus.t a cast to stage a play. Bill Frake, "prop" manager for "Mrs. Mc Thing," comedy - fantasy being produced by the senior class of Medford Senior High school, has discovered this. One problem which confront ed the student was finding a way to produce smoke and a blast without creating an odor or fire. Finally he took the mat ter to Ryder Berg, chemistry teacher. The need for a smoke-making, noise-making instrument occurs in the last scene of the play when Mimi, the adopted daugh ter of the witch, Mrs. McThing, decides to do away with two "sticks," otherwise known as Mrs! Larue and Howay, with firecrackers. Since firecrackers are too dangerous, some other device was needed. After conducting several un successful experiments, the prop manager and Mr. Berg found the solution to the problem in tita nium tetrachloride. The two con- Family Leaves For New Zealand Mrs. A. C. Pierce, her son and daughter, John and Mary Eliz abeth, left last night by plane for San Francisco from where they will sail for New Zealand.

They plan stops in Java, Singa pore. Ceylon and in several cities of India, including Bombay, Calicut in South India, and Cal cutta.

Baked without shortening Two kinds: LIGHT and DARK A jtj Women Purchase Most Valentines; Millions Sold By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ Women, traditionally the pursued in stead of the pursuers, will send 80 per cent of all valentines $old this year. Which indicates that the fe male of the species may be re versing the tradition of the chase. These days, we women out number the men. And our num bers are increasing more rapidly than theirs. Could this be the reason .the girls now mail most of the love missives? "Could be," said Steve Shan non, executive directfer of the Greeting Card association. "Cer tainly Valentine's day gives a girl an excuse she might not otherwise have." Of course, sentiment has some thing to do with the association's 80 per cent statistic. Women are more thoughtful than men, who have trouble remembering anni versaries, birthdays and the like, said Shannon. Lace Means Noos Incidentally, Shannon pointed out that the word "lace," the ma terial used in many valentines, comes from a Latin word mean ing "snare" or "noose." The first U.S. publisher of val entines was a woman, Esther Howland. In 1840, she printed "leap year valentines" for her schoolmates at Mt. Holyoke col lege, in Massachusetts, and thus began a life-time publishing ca reer. This year, 400 million valen tines will be sent, costing any where from five cents to S5 each. Retail sales will total S45 mil lion. The association said both the unit and dollar volumes are 10 per cent higher than last year. Most valentines still are sen timental in nature. Shannon re ported. But the mushiness has been "streamlined." Not So Sticky "There is less effusiveness, fewer flights of fancy," said Shannon. Gone, too, are the days when valentines went mostly to sweethearts. "Now you can send one to the postman, the milkman, even your mother-in-law," said Shan non. Also disappearing are the 'I Ns "Pn 00?Zi. .

Francisco Sold San Francisco (U.R) The Argonaut, San Francisco's 80-year-old weekly journal of op inion, was sold Monday to Har ry H. Nasburg of Denver for an undisclosed sum. Sale of the magazine was an nounced by William Wallace Chapin, publisher since 1929. Chapin is retiring after a jour nalistic career spanning more than half a century. comic or "vinegar" valentines, some of which were pretty acid in their digs. These are replaced. Shannon said, by the "slam," usually a good-natured, kidding type. Sample: A card which on its front says, "I need you for my valentine." Adds, inside: "Like I need a hole in the head."
