The piAirct ut two ourn men cast as old man dominated the iroductiui. Tiieet were Rudolph (est J recast aa Esdra. tha aged and philosophical father who has the intellect an dignity to rise above adversity, and Pater Lundgreen, who portrayed Jude Gaunt, a jurist who is los ing his mind under the pressure of hi3 conscience. Howard Cain played the ex tremely difficult rt)le of a young man determined to clear the name of his unjustly executed father, a role which required a consistently high level of dra matic power and experience which Cain lacked. One felt that the intelligence and grasp of meaning was there, but the tal ent for such an extreme role was noL Anne Cain brought sweet ness and pathos to the part of O Miriamne, a young girl hope lessly caught in the grip of pov erty and despair, but she too lacked the ability to cope with the complexities of the part. The production was strength ened considerably by the pres ence in the cast of Frank Pin nock, Lyman Prultt and Isaac McCarley. Pinnock and McCar ley are both experienced actors and they gave solid perform ances, Pinnock as the dying Trock just out of prison and de termined that nothing shalj pre O vent him from spending his last months in freedom, and McCar ley as the cowardly Garth, the witness who was never called. FruLU had one good scene his deaft and he made the most of it. 3 Richard Pittman, Nancy Jen nings. Roy Webb and Dennis Chriac should be mentioned for thair playing of small roles. It should be made clear that auch a play as "'Winterset" could ! probably not be produced at the collage at all except for the practice of using other than stu dent actors, one which has been in use for a number of years. Director Bowmer, who de signed the setting an endeavor which took considerable imagi nation due to the smallness of the SOC stage, was aided by William Oylar as technical director; Otto Wilda, who worked out the Lin netaech projection which gave tha illusion of the great city in the background; Dean Reeter, music and sound; Dennis Han non, who provided vioiin music and Alice Gentle, who super vised the costuming. Harold Johnson designed and constructed a "state wagon" which made possible quick changes in scenery. Dick Simonson was business manager. Rick Pittman and Bob Hanson handled tickets and pub licity for the production. O.S.

MEDFORDtf-i Tribune m ommd tYN wage League-Supported Bi Explained by Chairman Out of the thousand or so bills being introduced into the legis lature, the League of Women Voters of Oregon can support only those bills which league's throughout the state have stud ied and those on which they have reached a majority of opinion." After this statement Mrs. Charles Ford, legislative chair man for the state league who talked for a general meeting of the Medford league Saturday, then elaborated on those bills before the legislature which the league is supporting as a result of years of study. The luncheon meeting was at Rogue Valley Country club. Mrs. Ford said the state league is supporting House bills 163 and 171, Reorganization of School Districts and the Basic School Fund respectively; also HJR 8 which provides for the appointment of superintendents of public instruction. The School Reorganization bill allows for a committee of nine residents of a county to deter mine the reorganization of the countv school districts, subject to acceptance by the state de partment of education and vot ers in the county The Basic School fund would extend state aid for student cap ita from $80 to S100 or S110 per student. This may not get through the ways and means committee because of the budg etary dilemma facing this legis lature Mrs. Ford said Medford's own representative, Robert Duncan is on the House ways and means committe, and she recommended writing him if anyone desired to support this bill. There are many other educa tion bills but the league is neither supporting nor opposing them, Mrs. Ford said.

Meat inspection is covered in the House by Bills 420 and '117, (which includes poultry and rab- its) and in 1he Senate by SB 16 which would eliminate re mote sections of the state where in it would be too expensive to maintain inspection. This latter bill is neither opposed nor sup ported by the league, she said. League opposes me reappor tionment bill, HJR 25. and a part of a civil service bill, HB 274. This latter would tend to close the oDen door fair employment nractice in Oregon, unless al tered to remove this possibiilty, she declared. A memorial to the United States congress, xiJM o, recom mending that no federal foreign aid be given and that interna tional trade be discouraged is De ing opposed because the league has long support foreign and in creased international trade. HJR 22. County Home Rule. is being supported as a result of the state league study done on that portion of constitutional re vision covering county government. As a result of this last study. league support is being given to HB 346 which would make the county surveyor and coroner of fices appointive, as well as isa 218 which would establish the qualifications of these offices and working to alter this last bill so it would read to make qualifications equal to that of a doctor of medicine. A bill that league members as individuals are urged to consid er, Mrs. Ford said, is the libra ry bill, SB 134. The league can not take a stand on this bill, since it has not been studied. However, in order for the state of Oregon to become eligible for federal funds, the state must establish a program through which funds would be allocated for this service which would be matched by the federal funds. Miss Helen Webster, Medford librarian, elaborated on the pro visions in this bill during the question and answer period Mrs. Ford was the house guest of Mrs. Fred Carr. As advisor to the Medford league, Mrs. Ford met with the local board Friday night in the home of Mrs. Gor don Mackenzie, 1616 East Main street.
