You can quit laughing at some of those things we've been call ing hats. For you ain't seen nothin' yet! A 27-year-old milliner named William J. just previewed his summer sports collection. And the word is, if it swims we will wear it. The designer, a self styled "mad hatter," comes up with some fishy specimens, even if the fins are felt and the scales are sequins. "These hats are for fun, done with style," said William J. "But I do make serious hats. My fun hats are for the young in heart. Leslie Caron, Margaret O'Brien and Audrey Hepburn are my customers." The milliner, Boston - born, Harvard-educated and fairly new to the New York design scene, showed beach hats shaped like octopus, lobster, dolphin and other denizens of the deep. He even supplies the hooks. Girl supplies bait. Yard-Wide Octopus His octopus, a yard wide, Is mostly of bright orange straw, but has eyes of beaver felt with jet-bead centers. Tentacles have black velvet tips and the mil liner declared these wind around milady's head in a most fetching manner. "Hats have just been too se date that's what's wrong with the millinery business," said the designer, hauling forth a lob ster. This number, in straw, only tab a minute vvrcn- SAFEWAY Monday, November 25. 1957 Virginia Ferguson, Ashland, senior; Miss Sandra Qualman, Coos Bay. senior; Miss Nellieann Roesberry.

The tail drapes to the back, like a streamer. "One of my favorites is this pink sailor," said William J. It was prosaic enough at first look, but second showed a pliable line dangling from it. On the end: a four-foot long fish in pink and red felt. Fisherman's Basket Another hat copied a fisher man's basket "with compart ments for packing your beach lunch," he said. At the fashion show, the model pulled out a silver fox fur instead. His "mermaid" collection fea tured something new in hat ma terials .aluminum woven to look like fine braid. He also has a group of hats for lady golfers. These carried out the sports theme with such decorations as a bobbing golf ball on a spring. One, he dubbed the "19th hole." It featured a gold-embroidered bar scene. William J. said the wearer need not worry about keeping these "fun" hats on. Each is built with bandeaux or other interior equipment for a firm fit. The designer, bom William J. Cunningham, now runs two firms. The other, bearing the Cunningham name, produces the ''serious" hats he mentioned. "I make more money as Wil liam J," he said. Last year, the designer startled the millinery industry with a collection of outside fruit and vegetable hats for the beach. What's for the future? "Oh, probably something to. do with' outer space," he said. Black-Eyed Pea Group To Stay Incorporated Taylor, Tex. (IP) Lovers of the black-eyed pea, a southern dish considered by some a deli cacy, can relax. Elmore R. Torn, acting presi dent of the National Black-Eyed Pea Association, Inc., said he has abandoned plans to unin corporate the association, and convert it into a society. Instead, Torn has again open ed the rolls to new members on the basis of what he calls a bargain in an era of inflation one cent for a lifetime mem bership. Long on members and short on money, Torn abandoned plans to dissolve the association's corporate status when he learn red such an act would call for the consent of an estimated 1,000 members in 42 states.

The orchestra was smaller than it should have been the audience was smaller than it should have been. Be cause it was the first concert of a new season, and because the compositions ot two local musi cians were on the program, sup porters of the society and of the orchestra had hoped that those in the community interested in fine music would indicate this interest by attending. Possibly the orchestra mem bers who did play yesterday, and their capable conductor, Richard D. Werner, are not dis couraged. We hope not. The or chestra (supported at first by a chorus) was organized some 10 years ago and with the excep tion of two or three years, has rehearsed and provided the com munity with a concert series each season. Considering the promise which the venture showed' in the beginning, there seems just cause for discouragement. However, the problems which face the Philharmonic here are not unique. In the spring of 1957 the Ford Foundation began a comprehen sive study of the economic and social positions of the arts and of the artists in the United States today, combining the study with one on the humani ties already underway. One of the four listed purposes of the program is to "support experi ments, demonstrations and stud ies that will help clarify objec tives, set standards, or open new avenues in the humanities and arts." Music, of course, is one of the most important of the arts. At one point in a recent booklet published toy the Foundation to explain the study program, it is stated that "Many people be lieve that a reexamination of the traditional ways by which cultural institutions have been organized and given financial support is required." The booklet touches on the problems of symphony orches tras, and on the problem of dis covering, training and introduc ing talented young people. What the Ford Foundation is studying on a national scale might very well be studied in Medford on a local scale. Possi bly we need a "reexamination" of the Philharmonic society's goals and problems in light of the trends and developments in the lives of Americans brought about by recorded music, radio and television To turn again to the Ford Foundation booklet, it reports that "the symphony and the child" presents a complex prob lem, and that "no audience is courted more by the symphony conductor, manager and trustee than the elementary school child." It appears that those in terested in symphony orchestras have decided "to rear their own adult patrons." Conductors also hope that by interesting more school children in good music, they will eventually reap an in creased harvest of players, par ticularly string players, which are in acute demand in all parts of the nation. At this point the booklet fur ther states mat the shortage of string players also may be a partial result of the supremacy of the school band in the lives of most school children. Here, again, the symphony manager sees his target as the child, and his national organizations seek large-scale outside support to at tack tne problem of winning and holding his audience So, the problem here If also the national problem. How to win and hold the interest of adults who are the potential present-day audience, and how to win and hold the interest of the child who will be the next generation musician and audi ence. The Medford public school system has what is considered to be an excellent program of music instruction and participation. In mEBFORD.ORKDIl has been steadily strengthened as the years have gone by. Why has it not produced a citizenry which continues to play in bands and orchestras after grad uation, and supports these same musical groups by attending the concerts? If the alert, cooperative and intelligent people of Medford in terested in music can do some thing to solve this problem, they will not only be of service to Medford, but could add the re sults of their labors to the find ings of the Foundation, which hopes to make its survey nation wide and on a grass-roots level. To return to yesterday's con cert the program opened with a lively and tuneful processional, the work of Albert Huntemann. Mr. Huntemann not only heard his composition played, but par ticipated in its presentation since he is one of the bass viol players in the string section of the orchestra. An accomplished musician in both the directing and composi tion fields, Mr. Huntemann is director of McLoughlin Junior High school band. Also on the program was the "Nocturne" from an orchestral suite composed by Ray Schwei- ger. Retired from the active mu sic world but still interested in composing, Mr. Schweiger's "Nocturne" indicates that he is a musician of considerable inter pretative ability. Since Sunday's audience was so small, perhaps these two works could be in cluded in other programs of the orchestra in the future in order that a larger audience might be privileged to hear them. Main offering of the program was Schubert's "Symphony No. 3 in D Major," composed when the eminent musician was but 18 years old. Light in nature, tnis worK nas no slow move ment and was written to be played without the use of the trombones in the brass section As played yesterday, it failed to hold the complete attention of the audience. The concert-goers, however, seemed to enjoy and responded more to tne orchestras more skillful interpretation of Gluck's overture to "Iphigenia in Aulis," one of two operas which Gluck composed about this figure from mythology. Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemmon and Clytemnestra in Greek mythol ogy, and her story has been a favorite theme for poets and composers. Director Werner closed the program with a favorite Strauss composition, "Beautiful Blue Danube." At intermission time members of the Philharmonic Society guild served coffee in the lobby, a gesture which the audience appreciates. O.S.
