Jude Gaunt, a jurist who is los

Howard Cain played the ex

which Cain lacked. One felt that

The production was strength

and they gave solid perform

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

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

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 desirable,
the legislature seems to feel, ac
cording to Mrs. Ford, but in this
money , conscious law making

TV Quiz Winnings

New York (U.R) Teddy
Nadler, a S70-a-week govern
ment clerk with a photographic
memory, boosted his television
auiz show winnings to $80,000
Sunday night by successfully
answering question on the Civil
War, ancient history and base
ball.
Nadler, a stock clerk at a St,
Louis Army post who says he
has "read everything and mem
orized it all, matched his know
ledee on "The 564,000 Chal
lenge," with two persons who
possess phd. degrees, and res-
tauranteur Toots Shor.
Nadler, who already h a
pocketed $64,000 winnings
reached the $8,000 level in
match with Shor when both
answered a five part question
pertainine to the 1941 World
Series between the New York
Yankees and the Brooklyn Dod
gers.
In addition, he tied at th

body, she said the program may
be held back lor lacn ot tinan-1
cial appropriation for this par
ticular piece oi legislation. 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

tered to remove this possibiilty,
she declared.
A memorial to the United
States congress, xiJM o, recom

aid be given and that interna

creased international trade.

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
