'Winterset'
To Be Given
lAt College
I Ashland Unusual aspects
in technical staging will give
play-goers a different atmos
phere when "Winterset," a mod
ern three-act drama by Maxwell
Anderson, is produced at South
ern Oregon college Friday and
Saturday, March 1 and 2. The
play, which is being directed by
Angus Bowrner, presents some
unusual problems in staging
since it includes scenes in both
an exterior and an interior set
ting. The cramped stage in Church
ill Hall auditorium, where the
play will be given, promised to
be a headache for William Oyler,
technical director for the play
and his stage crew, until a stage
wagon was designed by Harold
Johnson of the SOC mainten
ance staff. This wagon allows
for a complete change from an
interior to exterior setting in
one minute's time.
Other difficult technical as
pects concerning the play are
being solved one at a time, ac
cording to Director Bowrner, Ot
to Wilda, of the SOC art depart
ment, is designing a projector
slide which will realistically de
pict the Brooklyn Bridge and
New York skyline, one of the
settings of the play.
Unusual lighting effects are
also in store for the Winterset
audiences, and these promise to
promote the sinister and grip
ping atmosphere projected by
the play. Dick Hay, technical di
rector for the Shakespearean
Festival, is assisting with the
lighting.
The play has been scored so
that modern American music
heightens the emotional impact
of many of the scenes, and
bridges the break from one
scene to the next. Musical ef
fects are under the supervision
of Dean Reeter, with special vio
lin music by Dennis Hannen of
the SOC staff.
According to Director Bow
rner, the play "Winterset" is a
violent production, and, conse
quently, not suitable for chil
dren. The play includes a number
of veteran SOC players, and also
introduces some promising new
comers to the college stage. Cur
tain will be at 8 p.m. both eve
nings. Engaged

Medford Woman
Attends Showing
For Local Store
There's something new and
stylish for every woman in this
spring's fashions, according to
Mrs. Gladys Dowler, fashion
manager of Montgomery Ward
and Company, who recently pre
viewed Wards spring collection
at a show m Salem.
Designers this spring have
come up with a variety of sil
houettes, rather than concentrat
ing on one new look, Mrs. Dow
ler said.
The strongest new trend, she
says, is the "cape look."
"Capes are shown in all
lengths. There are full length
capes for wear over dresses and
suits, brief capes over dresses,
suits with detachable capes and
dresses with large cape collars.
"Both the costume and 'My
Fair Lady' looks continue
strong" Mrs. Dowler said.
"More and more dresses are
shown with short or long coata
lined with matching material.
The empire lines, blousy backs
and frilly fronts that character
ize the fair lady look also are
much in evidence."
Turning to suits and sports
wear, Mrs. Dowler reported the
appearance of pastel furs, dyed
to match, on the collars of many
suits and the continued emphas
is on the Ivy look" with button
down collars, tab belt backs,
roll-up sleeves in sportswear.
Silk blends lead the parade of
new spring fabrics with lilac,
mint and coral topping the ar
ray of new colors.

Wards here, attended the fash
ion preview with Mrs. Dower.

Marriage Counselor Advises
Women to Marry YoungerMen
BY GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Women
should- marry men younger than
-Zrnseives ana ignore socity for
calling them
"cradle
i n a t chers,"
says Dr. Mar
ion Langer, a
sociologist.
"All things
being equal, it
is wise to
jf.,.ws marry
s 4 five.
a m a n
six or
6iy pui.r even seven
years your junior," said the
youthful Dr. Anger, who does
marital and family counseling.
She said a girl reaps a two
fold return by selecting a mate
younger than herself: . She in
creases the chances of a happy
marriage, and she decreases the
chances of one day being
widowed.
Numerous studies indicate
that marriages, where the hus
band is younger, are successful,"
said Mrs. Langer, who is executive-secretary
of the Ameri
can Orthophysiatric association,
a professional organization.
Women Live Longer
Take the problem of widow
hood. Mrs. Langer, a widow and
mother of an 11 year old boy,
pointed to government statistics
on how acute it has become in
this country. Woman's life span'
is longer than man s At present,
there are more than 7.5 million
widows. 13 per cent of our adult
population.
At the rate we're going, things
won't improve. Woman's life
span continues to increase over
man's she said.
"The male mortality rate
starts early," said Mrs. Langer
in an interview. "More male
than female babies are born,
but more male infants than fe,
male die in the first year of life.
"Women now are in excess in
all but four countries of the
world." .
In this country, women out
number the men by about two
million.
Dr. Langer said our society
has two solutions to the male
shortage. Polygamy, or finding

Tennessee Polygamy Bill
"I doubt if our society would
accept polygamy now," she
said, "although we may have to
some day. I notice that a sen
ator in Tennessee the other day
offered a polygamy bill."
"Tennessee Senator Harlan
Dodson's bill would permit poly
gamy to alleviate the surplus
of women." He said every wom
an has the 'inherent right of the
joys and comforts of matri
mony.' This discussion of the male
shortage came about because
Mrs. Langer has written a book
called "Learning To Live As A
Widow." Her husband, an ad
miralty lawyer, died seven years
ago. .
She said one of the biggest
mistakes the widow makes is in
not looking ahead. She too often
buries herself in memories, lets
the "if onlys" take over.
And others, she said, are not
always helpful. Once a widow's
grief has lessened, if she be
comes active socially, other .wo
men, the non-widows, look at
her with misgivings.
"There is," said Dr. Langer,
"a saying in Spanish which
goes: 'A buxom widow should
either be remarried immediately
or else, killed.'

approved fund-raising project.
Proceeds help support the Girl
Scout camping program, which
includes eight day-camps, the
troop camp site at Grayback and
the established camp at Lake
of the Woods, Camp Low Echo.
The cookies sales will also add
to troop funds for each of the
troops that participate.
District cookie chairmen have
been selected and are preparing
for the sale in their locality.
Medford has two chairmen, Mrs.
Robert Sleeter, and Mrs. C. F.
Risse. The chairman in Grants
Pass is Mrs. Dale Stephenson;
in Ashland it is Mrs. Jean Eber-
hardt. Mrs. Martin Webb, of
Yreka, is the chairman for the
Western Siskiyou district.
Cookie depots have been es
tablished in each district where
the neighborhood chairman will
secure the cookies ordered by
leaders in their neighborhoods.
At Grants Pass the depot will
be in the Old Menasco building,
at the North End of the Caveman
Bridge, Highway 99. In Ashland
Eberhardt Sporting Goods store.
279 East Main street will serve
as the cookie depot; the Western
Siskiyou district will secure
their cookies at the home of Mrs.
Webb, 724 Pioneer street, Yreka,

The Medford district has two
depots to take care of the many
neighborhoods. One is at the

rick, McLoughlin and Senior

station, 416 West Main street.
It will serve Washington-Jeffer
son, Lincoln-Jackson, Jackson
ville-Westside, and Griffin Creek
neighborhoods.
Besides the additions to camp
ing and troop funds, the sale
gives the troop members an op
portunity to have the experience
of raising and handling money.
as learning to do this carefully
is part of a Girl Scout's educa
tion.
Recommendations to girls sell
ing cookies are to be business
like and handle money accurate
ly; be neat, wear a uniform if
possible, be quiet and courteous;
membership pins be worn and
membership cards carried.
All ages of scouts may par
ticipate in the cookie sale, but
