Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 2 MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1959 Orchestra, Doll Dance Are Enjoyed "There's no business like show business' might be nice- Ajr yaiaviu ascu inio mere S no music like live music," to describe the enjoyable pre sentation of the Philharmonic SocietV of Southern flrwnn's final concert of the season at the high school Sunday af ternoon. The Egmont Overture of Beethoven and the Symphony in C Major of Bizet made up the first half of the program. The orchestra started off a bit fuzzily, but recovered its balance after the first few bars and maintained it there after. The symphony of Bizet was an early work of the com poser, written in 1855, but not presented until 1935. It was interesting to note that the second movement of the symphony, the adagio, was reminiscent of the introduct ory music to the second act of Carmen. Richard Werner conducted exceptionally well and the symphony was well within the range of the orch estra, which also played ex ceptionally well. -he score was unusally me lodious, but the orchestra tion was simpler than a great many of the standard sym phonies played. Mr. Werner showed wisdom in selecting a score which could be play ed so well by his group, which as yet Is not too large. The second half of the program was the ballet "La Boutique Fantasque," by Ros-sini-RespighL and presented the Colleen Hope Dancers in a choreography involving the Never-Nevec' L?3d. . A torshop proprietor pan tomimed - the'- displaying of various dolls to imaginary customers, which in turn pre sented the various dancers in specialty numbers. costuming was lovely and imaginative, particularly the chess pieces, whose costumes were very simple but appro priately menacing. The dancers, ranging from first graders to young ladies, : performed well and they were charming in that evervnne was having a very good time, Including the audience, Included in the dance num bers were a candy-kiss dance, a peasant dance, Spanish dancers, a peasant "doll, a wind-up, doll, clown dolls, Raggedy-Ann, ""jewel dolls, French flower seller, French poodles, can-can dancers, but terflies, bride and groom uuiio, jicnuu UD113, a ijrreeK doll, the Queen of Hearts complete with entourage of card dolls, dominoes and chess pieces. One hopes sincerely that the Philhormonic Society will go on performing and furnish ing our part of Oregon with the symphony music which so many of us enjoy and have so little opportunity of hearing performed in the flesh.-E.R. x M;fhit tin V,?Ki ' f if J 'M1 I fij:.

Health Board Cautions About Plastic Sacks Portland-The Oregon Board of Health cautioned parents Wednesday against letting young children play with plastic bags of the type com monly used to cover cleaned garments. Joseph L. Taylor, health education director for the de partment, said an electrostatic charge can develop when the bags are handled during dry weather and "under certain circumstances" the material can adhere so tightly Ijo a small child's face that suffo cation results. Four such deaths in Phoe nix, Ariz., were recently re ported by the U.S. Public Health service, Taylor said. The health board official said the National Safety coun cil is now conducting a tele graphic survey to determine the extent of the problem. He said the safety council expressed concern over, the "mounting problem of suffo cation of young children due to cleaner's plastic bags." The American Academy of Pedi atrics and the Public Health Service "have agreed on the immediate need for accurate information" on the problem, according to the safety coun cil telegram. No such deaths have been reported in Oregon, Taylor said. LWV Elects President; Former Judg Women's Spring In SA (Colored Shoes Only) 3 Days - Tues., Wed., Thurs.

Introduced by Mrs. Ben Day as "one of the few women involved in the law who loves it," Miss Kelly, a practicing attorney, sketched on black board the "sometimes bewild ering" organization of the state and federal courts. Ques tions from the audience re- garding jury duty, legality of radar in traffic citations, the reversal of the jury's verdict by the judge, and many others were adroitly handled by the young attorney.

Townsend Council! Award Winners Announced Speaks matters involving citizens of two states, or the citizen of one state versus a different state originates with this court. Next highest is the court of appeals, and "above that the supreme court of the United States. Miss Kelly pointed out that the Supreme Court will hear only real cases, not theoretical ones. It will not pass on a law alone; there must be a test case. Emphasized was the value of flexibility, which is provided our Constitution by supreme court interpretation. The supreme court is not bound by precedent, she said, as society changes, its laws must change. "Law is not like Latin-a dead language. Its flexibility has permitted us to live under one Constitution for 150 years." Miss Kelly contrasted this situation with that of the French, who have written sev eral inflexible constitutions in the same length of time. Of the state courts, Miss Kelly described the lowest city and justice of peace courts, working up through the district, circuit and state supreme courts. Legislation to abolish justices of the peace has been tabled at present, ac cording to the speaker. She explained that the dis repute of the justices of peace has resulted from some judg ments issued without knowl edge of the law. In many in stances the justice of peace is not trained in law, and in too many situations his salary de pends in part upon the num ber of convictions on his record. Listeners were re minded several times that the "burden of proof is on the city beyond a reasonable doubt," and that "a person cannot be convicted on his word alone." Misdemeanors, violations of traffic laws which are state laws, and civil cases up to $1,000, are handled in district court. A question from the audience led to a discussion of "double jeopardy," which Miss Kelly said has not yet been resolved, with the su preme court itself being in consistent. The circuit court was de scribed by Miss Kelly as the "most important in our state" -trying criminal cases from grand larceny to murder, civil cases over $1,000, all juvenile cases, and appeals from both city and district courts. Cir cuit court takes the load off the supreme court. Delving into Anglo-Saxon history, Miss Kelly explained that "cases in equity," those of probate and divorce, were originally labeled "the king's conscience." Because common law courts were too rigid many appeals were made to the king. Since that time a code of law has evolved to cover these matters. In mentioning the supreme court, Miss Kelly stated that it hears appeals which stem from a question of the law and only about 10 per cent of appealed cases are re versed. Executive Committee Plans Final Session For Crater High PTA Central Point-Crater High School Parent-Teacher associa tion executive committee met April 21 to discuss plans for the final PTA meeting of the school term.
