Weather Bureau
Work Explained
For Jackson PTA
"People talk about the
weather but nobody does any
thing about it." 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.

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.

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."

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

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
