Richard D. Werner, will conduct the pro- Miss Frances Thrun gram, set for 3 p.m. at Med ford High school auditorium. Miss Thrun, who has a voice of unusual beauty and rich ness, is a favorite with Rogue valley audiences. She has ap peared with the Philharmonic orchestra before, but not for the past several seasons. Miss Thrun will sing two operatic arias, and the pro gram has been arranged so that these will follow orches tral numbers from the same operas. Her numbers will be "Dich teure halle" from Wag Revlon's Barbara Britton Prefers TV To Movie Job United Press International New York -UPD- One of the three most famous female an nouncers on TV, only Bar bara Britton can sit down on the job. Betty Furness stands along side refrigerators. Julia Meade stands along side automobiles. But blonde, blue-eyed Miss Britton, who has sold lotions and lipsticks on "The $64,000 Question" and "The Garry Moore Show," is allowed to talk while seated. In fact, that's how the sponsor wants it. "The Revlon people decided it would be less formal and more friendly-looking to show me sitting down. It makes for a more relaxed picture, too," said Miss Britton. "They feel the viewers might miss the message if the TV camera showed all of me. My dress might be too decor ative or distracting. After a while, though, my friends be gan wondering if I'd become ner's "Tannhauser," and "Voi la sapete" from "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Mascagni. The orchestra's numbers by these composers will be the march from "Tannhauser" and the beautiful "Intermezzo" from "Rusticana." An American composer, MacDowell, is represented on the program, and a French woman, Augusta Holmes, by her composition entitled "En Mer." Gliere's "Russian Sail or's Dance" from "The Red Poppy" will be played also. Post-intermission numbers will include "Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Nutcrack er Suite" by Tschaikowsky. "Les Preludes", a symphonic poem by Franz Liszt will con clude the concert. It is stated that Director Werner has planned this pro gram with care for audience appeal, and with more short, concise works than are us ually heard on a concert pro gram. v- Bruno Pellegrini will assist Mr. Werner and will accompa ny Miss Thrun. Coffee will be served dur ing intermission by members of the Philharmonic Society guild. The guild announces that in the future two honor ary hostesses will be asked to preside during these intermis sion events. Mrs. Almus Pruitt, Medford, and Mrs. Vincent Vaughn, Eagle Point, are the first two invited to serve. Mrs. Henry DeVoss, Talent, is chairman of the coffee hour. Tickets for the concert will be on sale at the box office. pregnant. I wear such lovely things and it's all lost because the camera doesn't show my skirt." (Note: The reader and TV viewer can be assured that: one, Miss Britton does have legs and two, they're mighty shapely.; Looks Like Lady She was chosen by Revlon because of her lady-like looks, her trim 120-pound, 5-feet, 6 inch figure, and her acting ability. "You know," said Barbara, "when you're doing commer cials, you must fit the mood the sponsor wants to reflect. I would say a Jayne Mansfield- type wouldn't get the job. "Doing commercials for the last few years has given me a wonderful following. I was in pictures 10 years and had nothing like the fame I've had doing commercials on TV. And financially, it's the great est," Barbara added. A native of Long Beach, Calif., she was signed by Par amount after a talent scout saw her in a high school play. Perhaps her best-known pic tures were "Champagne for Caesar," in which she played Ronald Coleman's sister, and Till We Meet Again," in which she played a nun. She began appearing on TV regularly in 1952, when the "Mr. and Mrs. North" series was launched. Barbara came to New York from Holly wood because, in those days, that was where the TV work was. Although Hollywood now is top dog, Barbara doesn't plan to return. She's even trying to sell her Hollywood home. Owns Farms "We have this big apart ment here in New York and we spend our summers on our 30-acre working farm at Beth el, Conn., where we raise black angus cows," she said. By "we" she means her hus band, Dr. Eugene J. Czukor, a consulting psychologist, and their two children, Teddy, go ing on 12, and daughter Chris, 7. "During the summer, I'd be in New York for the TV shows and scoot right back to the farm. Lately, we've been tap ing the commercials on Sun days, so that gives me the rest of the week at home.

Homes Hazard to Husbands Declares Safety Director By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(DPD- It isn't the blonde in the office who is a hazard to your husband. It's the booby-trap in the home One safety expert- today urged women to switch the signals on chivalry and start protecting the men, if we want to keep the supply any where near the demand. One of the best places to begin: Home, sweet home, where most accidents occur, Mrs. Marjorie May, home safety director for 13 years with the Greater New York Safety council," said that more male than female babies are born each year in this coun try. But a lot of the males never reach the marrying age. . "Census figures show a sur plus of 1.5 million females," she said. "One reason . . . males between 15 and 24 are being killed in accidents al most five times as fast as fe males." Autos Top Killer . Auto accidents are the number one killer, wiping out 38,500 men, women and chil dren annually; home acci dents are second, killing around 28,000, she said. But it's in the home the woman has her greatest chance to promote safety, Mrs. May said. Some of her suggestions: Don't start the day with an argument. Keep hubby in happy mental state. Get the family up early enough to eat a good break fast and avoid rushing. Keep the home "environ ment" as accident-free as you can. Did you get the non-skid material to put under the scatter rugs? Was it you who moved the furniture around without warning hubby and the children? And what's wrong, she asked, with the woman checking whether the stepladder is in good repair? Check On Cords When cleaning house, check on electric cords for lamps and other appliances. If they are frayed or plugs are broken, see that they are repaired. Provide plenty of large ash trays, the safety director said. "And it really isn't as hard as you think to get him to stop smoking in bed." He multiplies the hazards if was taking acting lessons with Lee Strasberg and studying singing. I quit for the sum mer, found out how much fun it could be with the kids on the farm, and never went back to the lessons," said Barbara. "But if a part ever came up, like 'for a Broadway mu sical, something to work to ward, I'd go back to the les sons," she added. 4R Dinners Observe ThreeBirthdays S. L.

A "dimmer switch" brings mood-control within finger tip range. According to the American Home Lighting In stitute, the switch works like the transformer that runs toy electric trains. Turn it on full tilt and you get enough juice to make lights burn at their brightest. Turn the other way and you get almost darkness.

She said that although Gov ernor Hatfield in his inaugur al address made no specific recommendations regard i n g the financing of schools, yet much of his speech was de voted to the subject. Mrs. Stancliffe quoted from his ad dress: "Here then is the para dox: we need education equal to the times, yet our means are not without limit." He concluded with the recommen dation that a comprehensive study of the entire subject of school financing, both from the sources of revenue avail able and the formulas of dis tribution, be made. There have already been proposals for increasing the Basic School fund from the present $105 to $120 pet school census child, Mrs. Stancliffe said. This is con tained in Senate Bill 94 by Senators Ziegler and Hopkins and Representatives Holm strom and Ireland. However, the goal of the Oregon Educa tion association, the Oregon School Board association, and the Oregon Congress of Par ents and Teachers is for $140 per school census child, the speaker added. She reported on House Bill 59 by Representatives Peck and Monaghan and Senators Francis, Grenfell, and Lewis which provides that after July 1, 1964, any school dis trict having 12 or more men tally retarded children shall provide a special instruction al facility for all such chil dren. In opposing this bill, Dr. Wes Niemala, head of the special education department of the Salem schools, pointed out that the total cost for the program would be about $4, 200,000 with the state paying about 40 per cent of the bill, Mrs.' Stancliffe reported. Dr. Neimala urges consideration of House Bill 265, sponsored by the State Department of Education, which would in crease the funds for classes for the educable mentally re tarded from $90,000 to $208, 000. This recommendation is based on definite requests from school districts, the speaker said.

Main Street is worded so that it directly concerns the Murray-Metcalf bill, sponsored by the National Education association for the federal support of schools, Mrs. Stancliffe reported. It calls for" Congress to allot to the states for distribution to local school districts an amount equal to at least $25 each year per school-age child, rising over a period of four years to at least $100 per child to be used for construc tion and instructional equip ment, or for supplementing the salaries of teachers. The program would cost approxi mately one billion dollars the first year, increasing to four billion dollars in the fourth year of operation, according to the report. Fundamental to this proposal is the principle that there shall be no federal control of 'education on the state and local level, Mrs. Stancliffe declared. Mrs. Maxine Smith, president-elect of Oregon Educa tion association, invited all members of Epsilon chapter to attend her installation as president on March 19, in Portland. New Publication Members were urged to order copies of the Society's new publication, "Lamplight ers," a collection of biographi cal sketches of pioneer Ore gon teachers. According to the foreword, the "missionary lighted the flame, the pioneer cherished it, and the home steader guarded it." The chap ters were written by Delta Kappa Gamma members, sev eral of whom contributed articles about early-day teach ers in this area. Miss Vida Scripter, social chairman, was assisted by Mrs. Betty Powell, and the Misses Florence Allen, Grace Lytle, Marie Prescott, and Ethel Reid. 4 The first professional book for teachers, published in 1829 was called "Lectures on Schoolkeeping." fd( PHONE MU 5-8771 iCLXLXBQOCB; On All Cash Purchases!
