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.

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.

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
