TWO MED FORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Music, Humor and Ballet Attract Large Audience : The combination of music, '. humor and dancing children : attracted a large audience to -Medford High school auditor ium yesterday afternoon for ;the January concert of the Philharmonic Society of Southern Oregon. Because of the programming of "The Carnival of Animals," there were many children In the audience and on the stage, something unusual for a Phil- harmonic concert. Saint-Saens, French com poser, wrote his "zoological fantasy" in 1886 for two pianos and orchestra. With engaging humor he used the pianos and orchestral instru ments to portray the elephant, swan, lion, cuckoo, kangaroo and other birds and animals. For yesterday's concert a group of Miss Colleen Hope's young dance pupils interpret ed the various creatures of sea and land, the Philhar monic orchestra played the charming nonsense music un der the direction of Richard D. Werner, and Anus Bow- mer read the delightful jokes-in-verse which Ogden Nash, well-known American humor ist, wrote some years ago to be read with the music. Bruno Pellegrini and Almus Pruitt were at the pianos, Mr. Pruitt having kindly consented to substitute. . Laughter from both adults and children . filled the audi torium as the fantasy unfold ed and the applause was hearty, not only at the con clusion of the performance, but for each solo and group. Much Preparation A great deal of preparation Music Announced For Club Session The Blue Notes from Alex ander's String band will pro vide entertainment for a meet ing of the Townsend Harmony club auxiliary to be held Wednesday, January 29, at Carpenters' hall.

Miss Hope was the choreographer for the dances, and Mrs. L. G. Miles designed the animal and bird headdresses. The costumes, made by the teach er and the mothers of the per formers, showed imagination and skill and presented a colorful and amusing picture. Director Werner opened yesterday's program with the overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart and the orchestra's two main selec tions were Beethoven's "Sym phony No. 1" and Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony." Tresa Matlack sang two solos, and proved again that she is justly one of the val ley's most popular vocalists. Mrs. Matlack has a truly beau tiful soprano voice, and she sang very well indeed yester day. The young Medford matron- presented a charming picture, too, in her green vel vet and net gown. Mr. Pelle grini enhanced the singer's vocal beauty with his expert accompaniment of her two numbers, the aria from De bussy's "The Prodigal Son" and "How Do I Love Thee" by Lippe. These were substi tute numbers. Orchestra Unsure The, orchestra's somewhat ragged and unsure perform ance yesterday was probably due to two factors insuf ficient rehearsal time and the disquieting effect of the dis cord which led to the changes in the program originally planned and announced. The Southern Oregon Women's chorus, directed by Miss Hel ene Robinson of Southern Oregon college, was to have appeared in the second section of the program, but Miss Rob inson and her chorus with drew Wednesday night after Director Werner and the SOC faculty members reportedly failed to agree on how the chorus should be directed dur ing the performance. Major last-minute substitutions were made with the result that the orchestra performed two addi tional numbers not originally on the program. This meant that they not only played with insufficient practice, but brought about an unbalanced program. As noted before, there were many young chil dren in the audience there only for the performance of "The Carnival of Animals" and they could scarcely be blamed if they failed to re main quiet while the Beeth oven and Schubert numbers were performed. It. should be obvious to everyone interested in the welfare and progress of the Philharmonic society that such unfortunate happenings as these only further weaken an organization already beset with problems. If the discord continues, it may result in the eventual collapse of the so ciety and orchestra. O. S.

ANNOUNCEMENT Eugene V. Meyerding, M.D. Announces the Removal of His Offices FROM the MEDICAL CENTER BUILDING TO the MEDICAL DENTAL BUILDING 832 E. MAIN (Suite 6) MEDFORD For the Practice of General Surgery; Effective Jan. 30. 1958 PHONE SP 3-3248 v point in history. Protection against the cost of hospital and doctor hills by the end of the year just past was ex tended to include some 75 per cent of the nation's popu lation, rising at a faster rate than the growth in popula tion itself, said the Institute. To . help . the public meet the cost of accident and sick ness, the Institute further re ported, an estimated $.42 bil lion were paid in health cost benefits during the 12-month period. In 1956, the benefit figure was $3.6 billion. Insurance company growth during the year was parti cularly rapid, the institute an nounced. Within the last six years, the number of people covered by hospital expense plans, as offered by insurance companies, has risen by 79 per cent, surgical plans by 91 per cent, and regular medical plans by 281 per cent. Major medical expense insurance, covering catastrophic acci dents and sickness, and offer ed only by insurance com panies, rose 1188 per cent during the same period. Reports from the 700 in surance companies handling health insurance policies in the U.S. last year showed that of the 123 million estimated total, 70 million persons had such coverage under policies written by insurance com panies for hospital expenses In addition, 67 million were covered for surgical expenses, 35 million for regular medical expenses, and loss of income insurance policies covered 32 million persons. Some 13 mil lion persons were estimated to have protection against major medical expenses. Benefit payments by in surance companies to policy holders by October, 1957, were more tha,n 15 per cent higher than the same time the year before, the Institute noted. Over $2 billion had been received by Americans to help defray the cost of health care at the end of the first ten months. It was esti mated that the total amount of benefits paid by December 31 rose to an unprecedented $2.4 billion a rate of $7 million per day for the entire year. The year 1957 also saw ex pansion of health insurance to include protection for more and more of the population, the Institute said. Policies designed to afford coverage for retired workers and for those over age 65 continued to increase in number. A recent nationwide survey indicated that the number of group in surance plans offering the re tired worker the option to either continue his insurance under the group or to convert his health insurance coverage to an individual policy has more than doubled within the last four years alone. Re cently introduced health in surance with paid-up pre miums at age 65 are also be coming increasingly popular, the Institute found, while significant advances were noted in the number of policies in force which guarantee renewal by the in surance company. To Speak Philip Getchel, Medford student attending Church Divinity School on the Pacif ic, Berkeley, Calif., will speak for a meeting of St. Cath erine's guild tonight at 8 o'clock in St. Mark's Episco pal church parish house.

New York Worn an Is Stylist For Men's Clothing By PAT HERMAN United Press Correspondent London-IP) A New York er, Victor Lebow, may wear the pants in his family, but his good - looking, . brunette wife styles and picks them for him and for men throughout America. Francesca is the distaff member of Lebow Bros., a New York clothing firm. As such, she accompanies her husband twice a year on glob al hunts for fabrics and fash ion ideas that will make American men "the best dressed in the world." Before she married the boss and became vice president of the firm, she worked for Mar shall Field in Chicago, Ben Reig in New York and for Vogue magazine, where she made her mark as the first men's wear editor in the high fashion field. Money To Be Made "Women," she said, on her stopover here, "have taken the curse off fashion for men." 4 The only answer to This is yes if you happen to look like Francesca who, at 44, could hold her own - with many a svelte, sloe-eyed high fashion model. The Lebow fashion theory is that there's as much money to be made in men's wear as in women's, and Francesca and spouse are out to prove it. They will hunt for woolens and worsteds in England, and silks in Italy, sweaters in Aus tria, and accessories in Switz erland and France. "Last trip I spotted a silk striped cuff on a man in Florence," said Francesca, "and that gave us the idea for one of our most hand some shirts." Tweed for Variety She continued: "The Englishman's umbrel la and bowler look dashing and, oh, so English. The Ital ian's - silk sfyirt and pointed shoes are very attractive. But they always look English and Italian not completely well dressed. The American men are the best dressed in the world." , But this pronouncement does not satisfy Francesca, who is out to broaden the American man's fashion ho rizons: "If they insist on a grey flannel suit all right, let them have it, but have them buy a tweed for variety as well." She also is sure that the only way to sartorially "fin ish off" the American man is with the help of his wife. "Our men must be told how to dress," she said matter-of-factly, "so my job is to sell their wives on the -new ideas I discover abroad." - Toss bits of crumbled bacon or chopped salted peanuts into a green salad before serving. 41 Why not see for yourself?
