1 Thursday, April 24, 1938 MAIt TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Populaires Set Concert Ashland Unusual light ing and choreography effects are combined to make an ex citing production of the Southern Oregon college Populaires concert scheduled for April 26 at 8 p.m. in Churchill Hall auditorium. The concert will be followed by a tour of nearly 20 Ore gon high schools within the next few weeks, it was an nounced. Opening on a gay Paris cafe setting, the transition is quickly made to a contrasting and beautiful setting lighted through stained glass win dows. Selections for this scene are representative of most of the major religious groups. Possibly one of the most un orthodox settings according to Louis O. Clayson, Populaires director, is the western scene which will complement such songs as "Tumbling Tumble- weed," "H o m e on the Range," and "Cool Water." Another impressive staging is a night scene in silhouette which fades into a formal concert formaton for the closing numbers. Only three scenes throughout the eve ning will feature the formal concert formation, Director Clayson said. Built around the fourteen voices of the Populaires and spiced by numbers from the male quartet, girls' sextet, soloists, and top-flight musi cal accompaniement, the pro gram will range from Bach to Mozart, to the popular "Liechtensteiner Polka," spir ituals, and folk songs. Director Clayson announces that no admission will be charged for the concert and cordially extended an invi tation to all valley residents to attend. Committees Plan For Ordination Phoenix Committees to plan for installation and ordi nation ceremonies to be held at Phoenix Presbyterian church April 27 were appoint ed at the last meeting of the Women's association of the church.

Five new members were re ceived into the association, All women of the church are invited to attend and become members. A nursery provides child care. IPaDttpaDTniiri'i "Do you know why women are called angels?" asked Mrs. Mabel Winston yesterday when she spoke for a luncheon sponsored by Rogue Valley Secretaries' association. "Be cause they are always harping, are always up in the air and can never find anything in this world to wear." Mrs. Winston's little quip was brought to mind by the title of a book about women, "Angels and . Amazons" from which she quoted. Mrs. Winston, dean of women at South ern Oregon college, often speaks for women's groups, and while 'she always protests that she "just talks" and doesn't know how to deliver a 'proper - address, she nevertheless always manages to plant a few interesting ideas. In addition to enlivening the event with her angel definition, Mrs. Win ston brought along a cartoon which the secretaries particu larly enjoyed. It depicted an employer, imploringly down on his knees before a haughty secretary, and the caption read "With six million unemplpyed, why do I have to do this?" ' Remembering Mrs. Winston's words, Potpourri went dress hunting. For years we've been declaiming aloud how we hate to shop for clothes, particularly dresses, and wishing "we could just wear a sack." Well, now that "sacks" are fashionable, we couldn't even find one of those. And it's the truth we do hate to shop for dresses. By the time we explain to the poor clerk that it must be dark and washable (if it's a summer dress) because a newspaper office is just naturally not very clean, that it must be reasonably con servative and businesslike, that it musn't have a high round neck, because we can't abide them, that it must be comfort able through the sleeves and shoulders because we stoop over the typewriter, that it must be something one can put on at 7 a.m. and wear until midnight that night, if the day's schedules turn out that way, that we prefer navy blue, grey, black or "something mingley" in tone, and last, but certainly not least, it must be something which will prove pleasing to pappy and about which the men in the news room can't make too many remarks. (We could just hear what EA and HC and the rest would have said if we arrived at work one morning wearing an orange ice chemise with a bow placed strategically in the back.) If by some good fortune the clerk finds a dress which meets all these requirements then it is either too snail, too large or too expensive. Pal Peg, back from New York City where she was pre sented a national award for The Mail Tribune and for her work as church editor of the paper, said she saw very few chemise dresses except in shop windows. In this country orchids just naturally are a part of award and recognition ceremonies for women and Pal Peg came in for her share five, as a matter of fact. When she left she wore one, a gift from The Tribune's Countess, and the news room gang ordered a big white one sent to her hotel in New York. First Presbyterian church here sent two, and at the award dinner she received another from' the National Religious Publicity council. The church editor made good use of her time in the big city. She saw the hit comedy, "Who Was That Woman I Saw You With," and "Sunrise of Campobello" which is receivinsr high praise from critics and -audiences alike. She also was able to get tickets to a performance of the Russian ballet troupe currently appearing in New York. . The Tribune's farm editor, Joe Cowley, owns a little book- entitled "National Proverbs of Scotland" which is a family heirloom. Printed in the Scottish dialect, readers have to consult the glossary in the back to make sure of the text. It is filled with such gems as "A' are guid lasses, but whaur do the ill wives come frae?" and "Gie your tongue mair nouaays tnan your ftead." O.S.
