Ballet Troupe
To Finish Tour
San Francisco (U.R) The San
Francisco Ballet troupe appear
ed likely today to dance its way
around the world yet.
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.
Three New Members

Three children were intiated
at a meeting of the Degree of
Honor Junior dub neia ai Lin
coln cvmnasium February 9.

Cornette and Hussell Acams.

The club voted to give $2 to
CARE and a contribution to the
polio fund. Members sang the
birthday song in honor of the
director, Mrs. H. G. Wilson, who
celebrates her birthday Febru
ary 22.
Terri Cornette gave a musical
selection, and Sandra Joyce re
ceived a gift for bringing the
new members.
Refreshments were served by
Darlene Morrow and Judy
Booth, and everyone received a
valentine.
Next meetinff of the club will

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.
There they will be joined by Mr.
Pierce, who is now in Antarc
tica with the United States Navy
expedition at the South Pole as
an observor for the Tucker Sno-
Cat corporation of Medford, and
the family will continue on an
extended tour of several nations.
The trip south will be made
by way of Hawaii and the Fiji
islands. In New Zealand they
plan an automobile tour of sev
eral days, and from there the
Pierces will go to Australia.
They plan stops in Java, Singa
pore. Ceylon and in several cities
of India, including Bombay,
Calicut in South India, and Cal
cutta. Arrangements have been
made for high-ranking state of
ficials to greet and entertain
the family in India.
In Burma the family will meet
two Burmese men who spent
several months in Medford two
years ago, and will visit Burma
under the guidance of these
friends. They will visit Thai
land, and Hong Kong, and in
Formosa are to be the guests
of Army officers.
Stops in Japan and Hawaii
are also planned before the
Pierces return to Medford in
May.
The trip from New Zealand
on will be entirely by air.

Another problem arose when
the opaque projector broke
down. This apparatus is used to
make replicas of paintings. Since
a Jarge picture of Gainsbor

to adorn the wall of the sitting
room of Mrs. Howard V. Larue

art teacher of Medford High
school, were called upon.
Mr. Wolf worked late Monday
on the drawing. All of the por
trait was done in chalk. Even
though Mr. Wolf was disappoint
ed in the result of his efforts,
Wolf's "Blue Boy" does resemble
Gainsborough's "Blue Boy," and
will be used in the play. The
play will be given at Medford
High school Thursday and Fri
day of this week, with curtain

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
