With this opening, the program chair man of Jackson Parent-Teacher association, Mrs. John Den yer, introduced the guest speaker, Stanley Lacy, of the Medford Weather Bureau. The meeting was held Fri day, January 17, in the school gymnasium. Mr. Lacy ipoke on "The Weather Bureau at Work," saying the National Weather service was first organized in 1870. The bureau's job was to take meteorological ob servations and forecasts and check the rivers in times of flood. Mr. Lacy said the bu reau now has many projects which serve agriculture, in dustry and air travel. There are some 600 weather stations throughout the coun try. The Medford station is one ,of the largest observing stations on the West Coast, the speaker said. Mr. Lacy told the group that weather progress is observed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and that information is exchanged four times daily with other weather stations throughout the country. A weather bal loon with a radio transmitter is sent up twice daily from the station here to observe the conditions in our locality. Mr. Lacy said that the fog which everyone grumbled about really has served as a 'blanket' or 'insulator' over head, keeping out the extreme cold air above. This makes a much milder winter than if there was no fog at all. The speaker added that the Rogue valley is in a pocket surrounded by four moun tain ranges, the Umpqua di vide to the north, the Siski yous to the south, the Cas cades to the east and the Coast range to the west. Weather here is hard to pre dict very far ahead because the mountains serve as a bar rier against some of the storms, Mr. Lacy said. The meeting was opened by Mrs. L. W. Anderson's Brownie Troop presenting the colors. The color guards were Linda Henderson, Joyce Le- vou, Cheryl Gardner and Bonita Denyer. Color guard captain was Lois LaFaive. Mrs. Raymond Hum gave the invocation. The president, Mrs. Arthur Cook, announced that more den mothers are needed as well as a new cubmaster. Mrs. E. C. Bennett, study group chairman, announced that the first study group would be a "come as you are" casual meeting at her home, 315 Haven street, February 3 at 9:30 a.m., and that a baby sitter would be provided. Room prizes were won by the lower grades in Mrs. Dean's room and Miss Gray's rooms, and in the upper grades by Mrs. Thompson's room. Hostesses for the meeting were the room mothers for the fourth grade.

SIGNAL PREMIUM FUEL OILS Ayf can US Metropolitan Enjoying Great Year; Being Praised By FRED DANZIG United Press Correspondent New York (IB In running an opera, as in betting on horses, the idea is to keep your losses to a minimum. With that in mind, the Met ropolitan Opera is having a great year perhaps its great est. Opera goers and critics tell us "the Met's" 73rd season is tops. This season's deficit is expected to be smaller than last year's $95,377 loss, which was the smallest in. many a year. Attendance at the 3,612 seat horseshoe auditorium is at a record level, about 95 per cent of capacity. The singers are chirping away like happy birds. The sets and ' costumes are as eye-catching as the music is ear-catching. When you ask opera buffs what brought on this boom, the answer you get is simply: "Bing." Rudolf Bing, now 56, was unknown to the American public in 1950 when he was brought over from England to be general manager of the Metropolitan. The $230,000 deficit didn't worry him. "In our field," he has said, "mon ey must be the servant of art and not the other way around. Opera always was and will be subsidized art." Since then, the energetic, charming Austrian-born im pressario has hauled the Met onward and upward through a combination of hard-headed business acumen, artistic taste, brilliance and stubborn ness. Kept His Pledge He made a pledge" in 1950 that he has kept and, in so doing, spawned a number of enemies. Said Bing: "I will attempt to run this house : unmoved by threats or prom ises on the principle of qual ity alone. I am moved only by artistic, not by racial or political considerations. We want," he added, "an ensem ble of stars not of comets." Bing's way has prevailed. His bosses recently tore up his latest three-year contract and gave him a five-year contract with options. Associates of the impressa rio tell of his utter devotion to his job. "He's always here, always working to improve things," said one stage hand. In striving to make the theat rical aspect of opera match the musical, Bing has brought in many noted Broadway tal ents, including Margaret Officer to Speak For Crater PTA Gold Hill Mrs. Leigh Gustison, Medford, will be guest speaker at a meeting of the Crater High Parent-Teacher association Monday, Janu ary 27. Mrs. Gustison is an officer of Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers. Singing is planned as a por tion of the evening's program. Clinton Charley, Central Point, vice-president of the unit will be in charge of the final membership drive at this time. Junior class parents will serve. All parents in the Gold Hill area are invited to attend the PTA meetings. Those in terested in forming a car pool are requested to contact Mrs. Floyd Taylor, president of Gold Hill Parent-Teacher as sociation, according to Mrs. Lewis Kilborn, president of the Crater High unit. Social Meeting Planned by Club Scottish Rite Women's club will meet Monday, January 27, at 8 p.m. in the Masonic temple. This is a social night, and bridge, pinochle, and canasta will be played. Committee for the evening will be Mrs. Fred W. Scheffel, Mrs. W. Morris Boughner, Mrs. Cole Holmes and Mrs. Basil H. Lindley. The Scottish Rite Masons will hold a stated meeting in the Council, and a stated meet ing in the Consistory. After this Roy W. McNeal and cast, under the direction of Menno S. Bachmann, will present the fourth degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry" to a class of candidates. After the presentation, the men will join the ladies for the coffee hour. All wives, widows, mothers, daughters and sisters of Scott ish Rite Masons are welcome. GREEN STAMPS A-DAD mn Webster, Garson Kanin, Al fred Lunt and Cyril Ritchard. He also has rapped - the knuckles of opera singers who, in his opinion, subordi nate the Met's demands to make "outside" appearances. Some of these quarrels, not ably with Robert Merrill and Helen Traubel, spilled over into the press. Many- Americans, techni cians as well as singers, have found Bing receptive to their talents. Herman Krawitz, now administrator of the stage department, is 32 years old. "I knew nobody when I walked in here five years ago," he says. "Bing hires and promotes you solely on your work. There's no poli tics. He's the best boss you can have a hellishly good man." Bing's energies also have gone into the development of young stars such as Mildred Miller, Lisa Delia Casa, Lau rel Hurley, Rosalind Elias, Cesare Siepi, Roberta Peters and Leonard Warren. Miss Miller, discovered by Bing when he was on a talent search in Germany, says of her boss: "You ask him a question and he gives you a 'yes' or 'no' answer. He doesn't hem and haw. He has done everything for me made my career. He chose my debut role as Cherubino in Figaro and put me on the map. "Before," she adds, "Amer ican singers didn't always get a fair break at the Met. Bing has seen to it that American singers sing here." Bing feels the best is yet to come when the Met moves into a new home. This may take a few years, but it's coming. Recently, while dis cussing the future, he spoke of the physical comforts to be enjoyed at the new opera house. "What about getting the greatest orchestra, sing ers and conductors?" he was asked. "Why," he replied, some what astonished at the ques tioner's ignorance, "we have those already." FROM 1.00 TO 29.95 AT . . ' MEDFORD fW V Tops Everything Flattering up to size 42.

When a Man Criticizes "Harry criticizes everything I do," wails Ethel. "He makes me feel I can't do anything right. Should I shoot him or myself?" Hold your fire, Ethel! Don't shoot old Harry as a nagger. And certainly don't shoot yourself! If we can learn why Harry is your severest critic, we'll have the problem, on the road to solution. y Why does a man criticize? Again and again wives com plain. "Bob or Bill or Jim finds fault with me so much that I have no confidence left in myself. I've gotten so jit tery Vm afraid to try any thing important or do any thing new. I don't expect praise any more, no matter how hard I try." A man or a woman criti cizes for either of two rea sons: (a) because a genuine objective fault exists in a situ ation, or (b) because of an emotional "set" within him self. If a genuine fault, ex terior to the man, exists, the problem can be solved with calmness and understanding, once the disturbing element is isolated and, if possible, i eliminated or accepted. If, however, the difficulty is an emotional one, "all in Jim's head," then the solution may be more obscure. Hypercriticism may stem from - physical discomfort, fa tigue, or ill health. Or it may be rooted in insecurity and fear. If Jim's boss has been "riding him," if Jim dislikes his job or is afraid of losing it, Jim may take out his fear and dislike in criticizing his family. "Pecking order" ex ists outside the barnyard and r Wonderful IMF f e sfXrf r :' ;:j DEPT. ALL YOUR COTTON yi 1 j n i ! 7 i1 is responsible for many a nag ging situation. Boss bawls out Bob for bungling Brink a account. Bob smarts from Boss's non-too-gentle criti cism. Bob arrives home to find Bowser occupying Bob's favorite chair, and Betty sporting a home mud-pack facial. Bob boots Bowser, and reduces Betty to tears with a reminder that he, Bob, has worked all day, and the least Betty can do is to have supper and herself ready when he arrives home. Worry, fear, antagonism, insecurity may combine to make a man a fault-finder. Increased love and atten tion are the best medicine for a fault-finder, whether male or female. Care should be taken to correct a situation which genuinely requires cor rection. Next,1 sympathy 'and , understanding should bp used generously to meet tha criti cism. Nine times out of ten, criticism cannot continue un der such treatment. , 1" PERMANENTS 4S?
