Suitable Centennial Song
Sought by State Committee
Portland A widespread
search for a talented tune
smith capable of producing a
suitable Oregon Centennial
song has failed so far to turn
up a composer who can fill
the bill.
This was announced by R.
"W. Hocks, publicity chairman
for the Portland Rainmakers,
who are leading the hunt.
Hocks said members of the
civic group are convinced
that somewhere in the coun
try there is a potential Irving
Berlin or Cole Porter who
can do the job.
"Our problem is to find
him," Hocks added. "The Ore
gon Centennial must have a
song. We urge everybody who
can write music to enter the
current song contest. We are
hoping somebody will come
up with a song like 'Beautiful
Ohio or the 'Missouri Waltz.'
We need a song that will have
a popular appeal-one that the
people will be humming and
singing long after the centen
nial celebration is over."
Dr. James Hart, chairman
of the Centennial fine arts
committee, pointed out that
the deadline for entries in the
song contest has been extend
ed to March 1.

Junior Red Cross
Mrs. Frank Fairweather,
volunteer field consultant for
this area for the American
Bed Cross, spoke for the last
meeting of the Junior Red
Cross council. It was held at
the chapter house Tuesday,
with Grant Quinney Jr., pre
siding. Fourteen schools were rep
resented. Mrs. Fairweather showed
elides taken on a tour of
Europe.
In addition to the students
attending, adult members of
the committee present were
Mrs. John S. Day, chairman,
Mrs. Myers Jones, Mrs. Paul
Lea and Mrs. Reese Alexander.
Song writers have been
responding," he declared.
"But the material we have re
ceived so far does not meet
the standards set for the offi
cial centennial song."
"We have returned a large
number of manuscripts to the
composers," Dr. Hart contin
ued. "It has been suggested to
some of these persons that
they revise and resubmit their
entries."
Entries can be mailed to the
Song Committee, Oregon Cen

it had little succes at first, the
opera was restaged the next

costumes were changed from
those of 1850 to 1700. Since
then, "La Traviata" has been
a favorite of opera lovers all
over the world. It was first
sung at the Metropolitan

in 1883, with Marcella Sem
brich in the title role.
