IPitpnirairirn Marilyn Van Derbur, Miss America for 1958, must have been as busy this year as Queen Elizabeth of England.

Miss Van Debur. who was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Francis Van Derbur of Denver, is loyal to the Miss American program and says that the winners are selected on the basis of talent and other qualities rather than mere physical beauty. The young women who enter are mostly of college age and anxious to earn scholarships for career training and study, she said. The Pepsi-Cola company, which brought her to Medford, contributed $105,000 to the scholar ship program this year, she' said. Miss America is a blonde, much to our surprise, and looked cool and fashionable in an' apple green gown made with a harem skirt and worn with green satin pumps. She says the Van Derburs are a "close family and do everything together." Her three sisters and her parents went to Atlantic City when she was a contestant, and will go again for the 1958 pageant where her successor will be chosen. "I can't do without them," she said. "They're my gallery!" Marilyn was a student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, when she was chosen Miss America, and will re turn this fall as a junior to continue her studies in music. She doesn't expect to have any trouble "settling down" to college, because she has always liked her studies and school. She hopes to marry and have a family. Are you "just a housewife?" Well, listen to this. The Nor wegian Social Affairs Ministry believes that "Housewives are the most important professional group in the country, pro ducing more wealth than the farm and forestry industries combined." To show that they mean what they say, the Nor wegian and the Swedish governments, have a service whereby they send housewives on two-week vacations at no cost to the women. Whafs even more astonishing to a wom an of the U. S., anyhow they send in vacation time maids who run the house and even help with the chores, if it is a farm household, while mother is away. If the family can af ford it, part of the maid's expenses are paid, otherwise the vacation is completely gratis. The article stated that this summer it is expected that 3,000 Scandinavian women will take advantage of the plan. One thing is sure, if such a program went into effect in this na tion, a lot more than 3,000 housewives would jump at the chance for two weeks away from the kitchen, washing ma chine and ironing board, to say nothing of pa and the kids. The society editor remarked last week with some weari ness, that there is practically never anything new in a wed ding story. That was before we read the wedding of Nadine Rue and James Woods, held in Hornbrook. The story, written by the Tribune's reliable correspondent, Mrs. Katherine Chip man, said that the bride's cake was baked by Sergeant Sambo, who has baked cakes for brides in the Gosney family for sev eral generations. Sergeant Sambo (his name is Sergeant it's not an Army designation) is 98 years old and he is a pure-blood Klamath Indian. It is said that he was given the name "Sergeant" be cause his father had once befriended an Army sergeant. The sergeant gave his Indian friend his army cape, later the In dian named his son Sergeant and now Sergeant Sambo can be seen wearing the cape if he needs a wrap. Potpourri found some good advice for college freshmen in a recent article in the New York Times. While the panel was made up of women and the advice was primarily , for fresh men girls, some of it seems just as sensible for young men. A panel of young women from several colleges in the New York area had this advice to offer: Don't take on so many outside activities that your studies are neglected, but on the other hand, don't miss such opportunities as concerts, plays and lectures, which round out college learning; don't run wild" don't feel that you have to smoke and drink in order to be accepted, but stick to your own standards; don't be ashamed to admit that you have to study hard (it was said that some students are afraid to be found studying be cause they don't want the reputation of being an "egg head") don't invite your high school boy friend in for a big week end unless you want the rest of the men on campus to think that you have a permanent alliance; don't ignore freshmen boys because "freshmen boys who walk everywhere turn out to be sopohomore wheels who travel around in snappy cars." One bit of advice was especially good ior gins u you don't want to loan your own clothes, don't borrow from other eirls. One student said "either lay down me law io your iuum- matp rifht from the start, or find one who is a different size.

The concert is being staged by Marcia Thay er, festival choreographer and director of dance, with music under the direction of W. Ber nard Windt, director of music for the festival. Today's program will be colorful and varied, with dance developments from the middle ages through present times. Miss Thayer has tried to capture the flavor and mood of the various periods in the history of dance, she states. i The "Suite Pre-Classica," based on an early dance form, opens the program, followed by an early medieval carole, "Summer is Icumen in." This is one of the earliest forms cf dance, from England, where it was believed that angels constantly danced in circles in heaven, and was imitated in the period by its "Umdump isher," as the choreographers of that era were called. The concert will be high lighted by the appearance of the Ashland Kiltie Pipers with festival dancers joining them in several Scottish country and highland dances. A unique staging of ballet and contem porary dance will be per formed to narrative poetry read by Richard Graham, j Nagle Jackson will combine i with the dancers in singing and playing four of his own compositions as the dancers perform an intricate pattern of choreography based on poses frpm medieval paint ings.. The Festival singers will be featured in a selection of Eliz abethan ballads, ranging from lyric to comic, with interpre tive dancing accompanying them. The final selection on the Sunday program will be 'In A Moment of Whimsy," a light vdance interpretation of the casket choosing scenes from "The Merchant of Ven ice." Tickets for the Sunday con. cert will be available at the Oregon Shakespearean Festi val box office prior to per formance. Admission is fifty cents for the hour and a half long program.
