WERNER Sunday eve at the Hedrick Junior High school the Rev. Father Thoralf Norheim was presented by the Knights of - Columbus in a piano recital. Father Norheim is in this country, from Norway and is a representative of the Domin ican Mission there. He was an established concert pianist before becoming a priest and continues his concertizing. This is in line with the ancient tradition of the church, which fostered all the arts and learn ing and in turn brought it to the people. Father Norheim is following that tradition. And it is well that he is, for his talent is great and his musicianship equally so. He plays as Mozart would say "with taste." One never felt that here was a pianist displaying his prowess but one who was intent on bring ; ing to his audience the mean ing and beauty of the music. ; (And speaking of audience this one was too small-but it ' left the concert most assured ly richer in heart and spirit as evidenced by its very spon taneous applause). The program was very well chosen opening with a Passa- caglia by Handel arranged by Halvorsen, followed by "Sonata in A Major" by Mo rart. Father Norheim played . both beautifully ; and with clarity although we could have done without all the re peats in the Sonata. The "Wanderer Fantasia" by Schubert was brilliantly done with much play of color. This piece is on the music of one of Schubert's songs. He did the same thing in his "Death and the Maiden" string quartet. There followed a group of short pieces: "Arabesque" by Schumann, "Etude" by Sibel ius, "Moonlight," by Palm gren, "Prelude" by Gershwin, "Prelude for left hand alone," Scriabine, and "Polichinelle" by Rachmaninoff. The pre lude for left hand alone by Scriabine was exquisite and could not have been better played. The Rachmaninoff number was detracted from by the poor acoustics of the hall. The echo was at times quite pronounced. It is not a good place for music. After intermission Grieg's ballad in the form of varia tions on a Norwegian folk tune was most interesting. The closing group com prised "Prelude op. 1," and "Impression op. 18'' by Cleve, "Norwegian Dance" by Hal vorsen, "Norwegian Wedding March," "Reindeer" and "To ward the Ancestral Hills" by Johansen closing with the "Scherzo in B flat minor" by Chopin. The "Impression" was a delicate picture in mezzo-tints a beautiful piece. In the Chopin, Father .Norheim dis played his truly fine capa bilities as a pianist. He re sponded to the hearty ap plause with several encores by his countryman, Grieg. We are hapy to have been there and are sorry for those who stayed home. It was a most appropriate close to the Lord's Day. Stock Company To Close Season With 'Bus Stop' Redding - Bridge Bay Sum mer theater will bring the season to a close with the Broadway hit "Bus Stop." With Grant Williams and Sonia Torgenson in the lead ing roles, "Bus Stop" will open September 9 and run through September 14, clos ing the summer stock theater's 14-week season. Williams, currently doing a television series, has ap peared in nine motion pic tures, including "The In credible Shrinking Man." He toured with the famous Ju dith Anderson in "Family Portrait" and his roles in sev eral western films and on the stage gives him background for the impetuous cowboy role in "Bus Stop." Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. nightly except Saturday when performances are given, one at 7 and one at 10 a.m. Phoenix Auxiliary To End Vacation; Session Planned Phoenix - Phoenix Lions' auxiliary will end a two months vacation with a meet ing Thursday, September 11, at the home of a member, Mrs. C.

Many, Campers Demand Luxuries Ttie fotlowin it cwidtmatlMi or motorlog aopeatim in TM Sunday Ore-s-oman, one of an annual eerie spon sored jointly fey Tht Ortfofiian and Mw Oregon State Motor Assn. TMs travel articles dtscriba vacation trips and des tinations throughout the Northwest which are particularly recommended for ut-of-state visitors cemim to Orepon far the Centennial Year bsarvaac. By KEN DAVID Staff Writer, The Oresoniafi Some campers are more do mesticated than others. They enjoy pitching a tent or parking a trailer under a can opy of stately pine trees on the shore of a cool, clear mountain lake or stream and living out-of-doors for a time, cooking and eating under the open sky, fishing at will, lolling around camp fires, sleeping on cots or in sleeping bags. But that's about as far as their notion of "roughing it" goes. They don't care a fig for packing or hiking through wil derness to a remote lake far removed in time, distance and desire from anything resem bling the comforts of home. The pioneer blood is too much diluted. Conveniences Demanded For this type, a dip in a lake is no substitute for a hot shower, with soap. The female of this species particu larly would also like to have a convenient place to wash up the dirty clothes, and some thing less offensive than a fly infested backwoods latrine. The hard-shell camper may shudder at the thought of such elegance as showers and clothes-washing facilities at a camping site. But statistics in dicate he's in the minority. More and more vacationers are demanding at least this meas ure of homey convenience handy to their tent or trailer. Myron Symons, proprietor of the lodge at Elk Lake, 35 miles west of Bend, recognizes that thesa "luxuries" harmonize with the average camper's idea of a desirable vacation spot. And he's prepared to do some thing about it. We spent some time at beau tiful Elk Lake on a recent mo torlog tour of the magnificent, fascinating country in the Bend area, a trip sponsored by The Oregonian and the Oregon State Motor Assn. Power Supply Awaited Symons said he has plans to construct a building for show ers and clothes washing, with urban-style plumbing, at one of the camp sites around Elk Lake. Jt - x ' , , j . Three sailboats play "follow the leader" in this scene showing canoeists on the shore and the South Sister Peak of the Three Sisters, at Elk Lake. Lake is 35 miles west of Bend on Century Drive, in the center of a huge recreational area stretching along Caseade range. Svmons said a survey will be made this fall for an REA power line to Elk Lake, and construction of the line is sched uled for early next year. When this power reaches the lake, Symons said, he intends to go ahead with his project. But don't fret, you pioneer blooded campers. There are and will be for a long, long time to come many spots in the region where you can escape the company of the softies who desire this sort of thing. Lakes Plentiful This enchanting area in the midsection of the Cascades con tains nearly 300 lakes and only 40 of them are accessible by car. And don't spurn Elk Lake. Around this beauty spot, nes tling in the shadows of snow mantled South Sister, Bachelor and Broken Top mountains, are 100 lakes in a 10-mile radius, a few within hiking distance and others which can be reached by pack train. Elk Lake is a good jumping-off point for an isolated-lake vaca tion. Horses are available there for packing in to these lakes, or for just fun-type riding. This is a region already pop ular for the vacationer and destined to become more so. All the lakes and streams are well stocked with trout, hun dreds of thousands planted by airplane; and the fishing ordi narily is excellent, particularly in the more remote lakes. The scenery is magnificent and the attractions diversified ice caves, lava fields, extinct vol canoes, a mile-long tunnel lit erally burned through the earth by white-hot lava. This belt of lakes extends all the way down to the famous Crater Lake and beyond to Upper Klamath Lake, the big gest in Oregon. Most of them, however, are concentrated above Crater Lake. Scores of camping areas have been set aside on these lakes. Some of the better-known, because of their size and accessibility, be sides Elk Lake, are Lava Lake, Cultus Lake, Crane Prairie Reservoir, Wickiup Reservoir, Davis Lake, Odell Lake, Cres cent Lake and Diamond Lake, the latter a little more than 20 miles north of Crater Lake. Improvement Planned Eastward some 50 miles from this chain of lakes are two other excellent fishing lakes sitting side-by-side in a pair of volcanic crater Pau lina and East lakes. Most of the roads through this lake region on the east side of the Cascades are unim proved, although generally in good shape.

SP 3-4264 OR 3-7256 TU 2-4126 American Kids Spinning 20 Million Plastic Hoops By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - A simple and inexpensive new top has thousands of the nation's chil dren and many of its adults going around en-circled. The toy is a plastic hoop, which one West Coast com pany introduced in mid-summer, taking the idea from bamboo hoop twirling which has swept Australia. The hoop became a fad fast er than you can say "Davy Crockett." Estimates from in dustry sources are that 25 competitors of the first manu facturer have spun into pro duction, that some 20 million hoops already have been sold, and that before the toy is dead as the yo-yo, another 15 to 20 million will get around. I first noticed the hoop among the small fry of my own apartment-house neigh borhood and stood agape as children from tots to teens twirled the hoops around their bodies with a gyrating motion to challenge Elvis. Some Twirl Several The twirling operates on Joy Lee Wright To Be Graduated Miss Joy Lee Wright, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wright, 1257 South Peach street, Medford, is scheduled to be graduated from the Dea coness hospital at Spokane September 18. , Miss Wright, a graduate of Medford High school, received all of her nurse's , training at the hospital. Mrs. Wright will leave Med ford Saturday for Spokane, where she plans to attend the graduation exercises at Cen tral Methodist church. the same principle with which you can swing a bracelet around your finger; the body rotates in a small circle, the hoop makes a large one. " The experts can spin the hoop around their necks, waists, knees, and move it from one part of the body to the other. Some of the veterans of five or six hours' practice can keep several hoops jn orbit. "We have one man who can keep five going at the same time," said a spokesman for, W. R. Grace company, one of several makers of linear polyethylene, a tough and rigid plastic from which the better hoops are made. The children are getting so good at spinning that in one contest, a 10-year-old in New Jersey lasted through 3,000 twirls, some sort of record for endurance. And twirling con tests are springing up in all parts of the nation. Most hoops measure 35 or 36 inches in diameter, al though smaller ones now are coming to market. They weigh from six to 11 ounces, de pending on the type of plas tic, and the cost is from 79 cents on up to $2.50. Some jingle as they whirl. Credit for starting the toy idea goes to Arthur Melin and Richard Knerr, youthful part ners in a San Gabriel, Calif., firm. Melin said they started demonstrating the hoops at beaches in California. Because the hoops float, they are popu lar for water games. Some youngsters use them as skip ping ropes. Spinning started with the children but has moved "to all ages, right up to 100," said a spokesman for the hoop making firm owned by Art Linkletter, of radio and television.
