Medford Reviewer Praises
Norwegian Priest-Pianist
By RICHARD D. 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.

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.

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.
