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.

had gone into the ballet. 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.

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."
