f 2 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Orcjon, Tundiy, July 1, 1958 Roman Miscellany Br MARGARET SCHULER Rome "The town curls like a dozing cat on the side of the Umbrian hill." An imaginative reporter wrote that in this week's Time mag azine about Spoleto. I wish I could have said it. Spoleto has come into in ternational news this month because the famous play wright, Gian - Carlo Menotti has chosen it for the setting of a great venture, "The Fes tival of Two Worlds." The purpose of this festival is a bit different from the doz ens of others, bursting out all over Europe in summer time. It is to give young American and European artists an op portunity to express them selves in music, drama, paint ing and dancing. Mr. Menot ti, searching Italy for peace ful beauty, selected Spoleto and one can understand why for Spoleto is the quintessence of medieval hill towns, with its narrow cobblestone streets, its marvelous stone facades, its vistas through old arches, its churches and panoramic. effects. His venture is a tremen- Mother and Son Leave for France Mrs. Robert Miller, and small son, Kit, 514 West Jack son boulevard, left yesterday for Portland from where they will take the train to New York City. July 9 the two will sail on the Liberte for Le Havre, France. They will join Mr. Miller, who has been in France since March, and the family plans an indefinite stay in Europe. The Millers plan to tour Eu rope by car this summer and in the fall will take up resi dence in Paris or another of the European cities where Mr. Miller, an artist, will be able .to devote his time to painting. Mrs. Miller was on the fac ulty of Medford High school for the past two years. Camp fo Meet Mistletoe camp, Poyal Neighbors of AmeriCc, will give the obligation ceremony for candidates at a business meeting set for Thursday, July 3r at 8 p.m. in the Pythian hall.

So far it has not been too successful; in spite of the backing, and im posing list of world names as patrons. Italian newspapers have both praised and scorn ed it. The northern cities have deliberately sabatoged it, tell ing tourists there were no ac commodations in Spoleto. But friends of Mr. Menotti believe that given more backing it will survive. ' Smi Macbeth I saw only the production of Verdi's Macbeth; which was magnificently staged and cos tumed. On that Saturday night the resplendent theater was filled and the audience enthusiastic. Besides Macbeth, the most popular production has been Ballets U. S. A." Eugene O'Neil's "Moon for the Mis begotten," was too somber, in volved and long to have pop ular appeal. There were piano concerts by young artists and picture exhibits. I should think it would help, all of it, to knock down the old Euro pean contention that Americans- are interested only in the dollar. One can readily see that Spoleto would be as the Time writer said, "A Shangri-La for young people." I watched a group of young performers at lunch time lounging about, drinking coffee at a little out door cafe, and I could cer tainly understand how they would appreciate the aesth etic, delightful place. But I wonder if there is enough to hold the restless tourist for several days. There are no night clubs, no casinos, no beaches, and not much shop ping. Wandering about the town we saw great potentials for future years, an ancient Greek theater in the process of being restored, a dramatic cathedral piazza, and an ad orable little theatre. Of course, I kept thinking of Ashland, and felt a sympathy for Mr. Menotti because his efforts are but in the birth throes. Spoleto is a two and a half hour trip on the train from Rome, and we would have felt repaid just seeing the glorious spring colors of the country side, and the sharp silhouettes of old walls and castles, even without the fes tival. new Kodak Camera Phone SP" 3-5345 630 S.E.

Chivalry Dead in City Says Woman By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor j New York (UPI) Chi valry is dead in the nation's largest city and I dare the men to prove me a liar. This subject of New York males and their manners has irritated me ever since I came to this metropolis in late 1347. I've been patient, as I watched courtesy go down for the count, figuring well, it's only me: I'm spoiled. I grew up a bit farther South where men opened doors for ladies and men took off their hats in elevators and men courted a girl with a corsage on a spe cial date. But my patience has grown thin as the front hall carpet and I ve decided it's time to air my gripes. Also, time to let the women elsewhere know how lucky and how pampered they are; and to praise the masculine sex in West Virginia and Texas and North Carolina and Oklaho ma and Ohio and, well, matter of fact, any part of the coun try besides New York. Two recent incidents trigger my outburst. One was a rainy day when, as all New Yorkers tell you, the cabs go under ground or disappear into limbo Anyway, they get scar cer than falsies at the Miss America beauty pageant. Flag a Cab Standing in front of our of fice building in mid-town Manhattan, I hailed an empty cab. At least I thought I was the one who hailed it ... but there were a couple of men in line behind me. Just as the cab pulled up, there was a whoosh. A door slammed and "m" cab pulled off with the two men it in. Okay, so you start working for another cab. And eventu ally, another empty hoves to. But there's also' another whoosh,-, and this time three men beat me to the door, all of them obviously college track stars. Second event. Office cell- mate a male, a non-native and a gentleman of the old s c h o o 1 came to announce that well even he was fed up with manners of his own sex. He was about to board a bus when he notices a couple of old ladies also in linei He stepped aside to let them on first, when whoosh. A man behind all three bareed through and panted aboard. Ere I get clobbered. I'll' concede there are a few excep tions. I even saw one man the other day get up and give his bus seat to somebody's grandmother. But few such exist. New York males race to get on, or off, the elevator before me. I start through a revolving door BUSINESS 411 Main Klamath Falls, Oregon TU 2-4126 Reporter and the man who dashed to get in first lets me push. - I wait for a phone booth to empty and a man behind me closes the door in my face and drops in his dime. I see a seat emptying at a subway stop and just as I start to ease into it, I find I have a choice . either continue standing or sit on some guy's lap. I've been elbowed back from the street corner by men who plan to cross early when the light turns green; tram pled as I tried to work my way up to' a lunch counter for a quicko snack; out-maneuvered in the check-out line at supermarkets and had the man who shoved ahead of me the nerve to snarl, "lady, quit pushin.' " What causes the New York male to forget his manners? It's beyond me. Maybe the psychiatrists would say it is because New York is a city were getting ahead in the job becomes so important that the law of the jungle takes over 24 hours a day. ..
