Soprano Sings Here Friday By RICHARD D. WERNER Friday night at the Medford High school auditorium the Civic Music association pre sented Pilar.. Lorengar, so prano, with Paul Berl at the piano , in its third concert of the series. Following . the traditional plan of program building, Miss Lorengar began with, ar ias by Handel, Scarlatti, Per golesi, and Mozart in which she displayed an agility., not usual in a lyrico-dramatic so prano, and a wide range. The tesitura of the Mozart aria from "Cosi Fan Tutte" is most severe from low A to high B flat. Her voice Is a beautiful one but because of uneven production, the legato neces sary to these arias was lost. The higher tones at times bordered on harshness. In the German group of Schubert, Mahler and Strauss her finest work was in the Mahler and Strauss songs. 'M o r g e n " was especially good. After intermission Miss Lor engar really did her best work in the numbers by the Spanish composers Sorozabal, de Falla, and Loez, the seven songs by Sorozabal being most excellent and charming. The de Falla aria from the opera "La Vida Breve" was most demanding but Miss Lor engar was quite equal to its dramatic content. Although it was very easy to listen to her, it was easier to look at her. One was re minded of one of Goya's Span ish ladies. Paul Berl, "at the piano" was much more than that; he was always with the singer and with the composer a most artistic and musicianly accompanist. Her pre - intermission en core . was "Staendchen" by Strauss. The three final en cores were "One Fine Day" from "Madame . Butterfly," Turina's "Cantares" and "Al leluia" by Mozart. Degree of Honor To Meet Monday Degree of Honor will meet Monday, February 24, at Red man hall at 8 p.m. Drills will be practiced and songs will be renearsed. Dr. John Waterman, direc tor of the Mental Health sec tion of the Oregon Board of Health, spoke to the group on the problems involved in expanding mental health ac tivities and the possibilities open to the board and the Mental Health committee in considering expansion. A report was made by a sub-committee from the Men tal Health committee which outlined the far-reaching ex ploration which was made into the needs and the pos sibilities of providing family counselling service to the community. Meetings with Dr. Henry C Schumacher, chief -of Mental Health serv ices tor the Western region, and with Miss Lena Cochran, western , regional consultant of the. Family Service Asso ciation of America, provided many valuable helps and guidance toward the action taken at the recent meeting. Also included in the report by the . sub-committee was a survey sheet showing the re sults of an inquiry sent to many professional persons in the community in terms of the need for a family coun selling service from the stand point o the number of peo ple who-sought them out for consultation on various mari tal and family problems. In one month, it was found that at least 353 persons had sought help from doctors, lawyers, ministers and other professional people for the kind of help that could be of fered with a family coun selling service. The action taken Thursday represents, the board feels, a forward step in providing ade quate mental health services to the community. Reactions from interested persons in the community would be ap preciated. The Child Guidance clinic is located in the Lever ette building and the . phone number is SPring 3-3174. 1 Annual Dad's Day Held at College Ashland The eighth an nual Day's day, sponsored by Theta Delta Phi, national men's scholastic honorary fra ternity, was held on the Southern Oregon college cam pus yesterday.
