Reviewer Praises Pianists; Civic Concert Series Ends By RICHARD D. WERNER The fifth and final concert of the Jackson County Civic Music association for this sea son was given last night at the High school auditorium at which time Josette and Yvette Roman, duo pianists, were presented. Not only are these very charming Parisian young ladies an excellent duo, but they are most accomplished as individual pianists. Possessed of brilliant technique, they used it to convey musical meaning rather than for mere display. It is a pity that bet ter instruments had not been available. But that is the sad lot of pianists they must use what is at hand or carry their own instruments with them, and that is out of the question in most instances. Nevertheless, the Roman sisters performed as truly fine artists with a very excellent program with discrimination and "good taste" .as Mozart would say. Opening with a "Duettino Concertante" by Mozart-Bu-soni, they demonstrated this good taste. Mozart would have been pleased. In the "Sonata in F Minor (Appassionata) by Beethoven, Mile. Josette . gave a very musicianly reading. This is one of the great sonatas for piano, and she was a worthy interpreter with a fine com mand of nuance. The variations on a theme by Haydn composed for two pianos by Brahms was a most fitting close to the first half of the program. It was in the field of variations where Brahms was without equal. The- last movement of this third symphony is a series of 10 variations so wonderfully wrought as to sound like a complete piece. It is note worthy that the Roman sisters played the Haydn variations with much light and graceful ness and it was not very diffi cult to imagine Brahms in that gay city, Vienna. We are grateful to these French ladies for unveiling to us the inner beauties of this music. After intermission Mlle Yvette presented two compo sitions by Franz Liszt, "Wal desrauchen" (Forest Mur murs) and the "Mephisto Waltz" this is bravura piano par excellence. If Liszt had not heard the great Italian violinist, Paganini, this music would not have been written. It was the dazzling technical display of the Italian master that inspired Liszt to follow a similar path and the technical resources of the piano were thereby exploited as never be fore. Mile. Yvette was equal to all the demands of the mu sic and gave a scintillating performance.. Returning as a duo, the the sisters played "Polonaise in A Flat Major" by Chopin and "Scaramouche" by Mil haud. This polonaise, al though originally for solo pi ano, lost nothing of its essen tial pianistic quality as a duet. Truly, Chopin's music is of, by and for the piano as is Never Enter A Room With Words On Your Lips Yesterday afternoon while we were visiting over a piece of ice box cake, Julie Jackson re marked that her 'Vj mother always caugot her never to talk while entering a room, but rather to wait until she caught the mood of the eonversa- fC ""Wl "on Sxa Pre" y vailed before intrusion, her mother said, to burst upon any situation with words on one s lips, for it not only interrupts. ' but too often destroys, the spirit f communion that exists. Julie reminds me of John Gals worthy a definition of the char acteristics of a gentleman equally applicable, 1 think, to a gentlewoman. "The will to put himseii in the place ot others: the horror of forcing others into positions from which he would himself recoil; the power to do what seems to him to be right, without considering what others may say or think." 7 1 F-l This applies to Julie all the way, for though gentle, she is firm about the things she be lieves. A point at hand is her conviction about Morning Milk. She knows that Special Morning Milk with its added vitamins is ;.a factor in the good health of her children, and she'd walk to the store with all three of them any time to be sure she had Morn- - ring Milk on hand. I told her I feel the same way about cooking ' with Morning Milk. As an exam ' ' pie, I mentioned the chocolate peppermint dessert we were eat- "'. ing. Its goodness is due to Morn ing Milk's richness, and though inexpensive, if s a grand dessert for family or friends. . j no other. It was extremely well done. Milhaud may not be one of the great composers of our time, some say, but he is a de light at any time. And these French ladies played their countryman's music with all the Gallic lightheartedness that is so very endearing. The audience was most ap preciative and the artists re sponded with four encores. All in all, the -Civic Music association has had a very successful season artistically and each concert has been of a high caliber. Beginning in October and ending in May, with the different artists spaced extremely well, it has been a good season may the next one be as good or better. - It would seem a good time to sign up the new members for next season now, .instead of waiting until autumn. Surely many would sign up now while the music is still in the air. Au revoir. Home Extension Program Aids State's Corvallis Oregon women want to learn more homemak ing skills, want more help on buying, and are taking a greater interest in communi ty improvements, a summary of home economics extension programs by Oregon State college indicates. Homemaking needs, as ex pressed by women, are similar in all parts of the state, say extension specialists. Home- makers want to learn to be better 'purchasing agents for their families in food, furnish ings, clothing and equipment They also want to provide tasty meals, sew some of their own clothes and make their homes more attractive. Home- makers' interests vary, how ever, depending on their ex perience, age and income. More than 20,000 women were trained last year in homemaking skills, as club officers, as 4-H leaders com mittee chairmen and in pro gram planning. Last year, through offerings of the cooperative service, women requested and re ceived assistance in good nu trition for better health, food preparation, food preservation and in family-centered cook ing projects. Outdoor cookery and family entertaining were carried out in both adult and 4-H programs. Nutrition Workshops Nearly 750 women attended nutrition workshops in Ben ton, Polk, Wasco, Sherman, Tillamook and Marion coun ties to learn what foods are needed for good health. In cluded in the three-day series were lessons on weight con trol, food facts and fallacies and . the importance of good breakfasts.

Tuesday, May 5, 1959 District Session Held for Clubs Representatives of seven Fourth district, Townsend Council clubs of Oregon, met at Carpenters hall here Sun day. Among those present were Mrs. Emma Thomas, Eugene, chairman of the council; . Mrs. Jessie Patton, Eugene, secre tary; Mrs. Myrtle Mitchell, Coos Bay, membership chair man; Mrs. Eva McQue, Co quille, treasurer; and Bert Shaver, Lebanon. Finis L. Snodgrass, Port land, state director for Town send clubs, was also present. Ralph Townsend, national committeeman from Portland, spoke about the 19th Town send national convention and "parade of states" to be held at the Multnomah hotel, Port land, July 20-23. The next Fourth district conclave will be held in Eu gene in June. The assembly concluded its meeting here by singing "Oregon Suits Me." Homemakers breadbaking. Cookery of Ore gon products wheat, sea foods and unfamiliar foods -was also taught. Meat cookery was a popular lesson in 12 counties. Lessons in planning, buy ing, construction, and care of clothing were presented to both youth and adult groups last year through the exten sion service. Wardrobe plan ning for all family members included information on indi vidual clothing needs and help in selection, care and use of modern textiles. Buying guides to help families deter mine how to spend their cloth ing dollar were offered in lessons in 24 Oregon counties. County extension agents and OSC specialists trained 832 women in 29 counties in sewing skills. These "volun tary teachers" then trained thousands of other women through organized community groups. . ' - Women's programs also h eluded rural health, medical care, family business and the law, car maintenance and re pair, civil defense, and house hold pest - control. Women have asked for more help in group leadership, family re lationships and family fi nance. Oregon girls, "tomorrow's homemakers," closely follow interests of their mothers with foods and clothing' the most popular projects fin the extension service sponsored 4-H club program. Most of the 10,066 youngsters enrolled in clothing projects were girls, with 107 boys taking bachelor sewing, says Ruth Brasher, state 4-H club agent. Nearly 9,000 youngsters enrolled in food preparation projects, and 1,330 boys took outdoor cook ery and other food projects. Planning and management of family resources, and fam ily life education are among the objectives of extension ed ucation programs in the fu ture, believes Esther Taske rud, coordinator of state home lies need to plan for more community services such as health, education, recreation, civil defense, and take steps to see that their communities can provide them, she thinks. More training for Oregon's 5,000 voluntary 4-H leaders will also be emphasized. The statewide extension ed ucation program in home eco nomics extends college teach ing and research to both adult and youth groups throughout Oregon. Two Delegates At Convention Mrs. Clay M.

Book - Club ' " : " Mrs. Malcolm Byers will present the program for a meeting of Contemporary Bookrclub to be held' Wednes day at the home of Mrs. Mc Cleod Maurice on- the Rogue river. It is set for 1:30 p.m. Of all the mementoes Potpourri brought home from last week's vacation,'' the most interesting by far is a copy of the Territorial Enterprise. This newspaper, first published in 1858, can claim, with a lot of truth, that it was at one time the most celebrated and powerful newspaper in the West. The Territorial Enterprise was founded, and is still pub lished, in Virginia City in Nevada, the city which sprang up because of the legendary Comstock lode and other mines of the area. Among the men who worked on the Enterprise in the early days was the famous American author, Mark Twain. The paper is now owned and published by another well known American, Lucius Beebe, who claims in type on his front page, that the Enterprise has the "Largest weekly cir culation in the entire American West." Mr. Beebe has the paper "made up with old-fashioned type so that it looks somewhat the same as it did 100 years ago, but the news is strictly up-to-date. On our copy, dated May 1, 1959, there is a story about how a Virginia City Centennial stamp will go on sale June 8, a bottom of the page banner welcoming the Fraternial Order of Eagles and auxiliaries, a story about the catching of a thief, and another about how a skier taking the part of the "fabulous John Albert 'Snowshoe Thompson" will carry the Olympic torch from Placerville in California to Squaw Valley to inaugurate the 1960 Winter Olympics. . The Enterprise's editorial last week could hardly have been more timely. The writer, Barbarism" was speaking out practice of letting jet planes fill the air with supersonic booms. He quoted General Curtis E. LeMay, Air Force vice chief of staff, as saying that "the shock wave created by supersonic jet planes will be hundreds of miles wide and com pletely unavailable to control or abatement." He said the general made his statement with "the fine arrogance of ac customed military usage in the face of some new horror or inconvenience dreamed up by the soldier mind." We didn't stop to read our copy of the Enterprise until after returning home. At the time of purchase, Pappy and Potpourri were 'touristing",in ered that his Oregon Centennial in Virginia City, which is also year.) One of the first places we visited was the basement office of the Enterprise where Mark Twain had worked. This 100- year-old building looks as if it and nothing in the place has hasn't been dusted since Mark publishing the paper. In addition to the desk where Twain wrote for the Enter prise, the old flat bed press, which was water-powered, a lino type machine about 100 years old, type cases and other pieces of equipment are displayed. A sign on the old press rollers says that they were made from gelatin and other products which the rats and mice found printers sometimes came to work only to find that the rodents had gnawed away portions during the past night. Leaving the ancient offices us toured the Bucket of Blood, bar and other buildings, and of the buildings are being restored or kept in shape, others appear to be ready to cave in at any moment. Potpourri en joyed seeing the old elaborate chandeliers, the elaborately carved sideboards and bars, the But the sight of the piles of cheap junk to be sold to tourists destroyed most of the pleasure. In the Bucket of Blood the managements has an enormous banquet table, with match ing chairs and sideboard which once belonged to Diamond Jim Brady who was linked with Virginia City history. The set came from England, is solid honey oak, beautifully carved. And piled on top of the table is a mess of plastic place mats, souvenir hats and other trash for sale to tourists. However, few seemed to be buying. Before leaving Virginia City we stopped at the old St. Mary's in the Mountains Catholic church. The inscription on the front says "Built in 1868, Burned in 1875, Rebuilt in 1876. This is No Other than the House of God and the Gate of Heaven." Going inside, we found several men at work and remarked to the nearest, "I see the church is being restored." His answer was, "I'm so glad to hear you say that. Almost no one realizes what we are doing. They ask 'Why are you tear ing the church down?' " The church is lighted by an enor mous chandelier and the altar and pillars (badly in need of replacing) are most interesting. , It would take days to really see all the historic spots and sights, and to read all the inscriptions and signs in Virginia City. We did take time to read the inscriptions pn a marble marker which teld of the discovery of gold and silver, named the famous mines, and recounted that probably half a billion dollars in ore was taken from the Nevada hills near Virginia City. And what did this wealth accomplish? According to the marker, the gold and silver taken from the Comstock and other mines in Nevada largely financed the Civil War and helped to rebuild the city of San Francisco after the great earthquake and fire. It also provided some of the wealth which founded the Hearst newspaper empire. . But according to Editor Beebe's souvenir newspaper, which is filled with historical material about the discovery of the Comstock lode, the money failed to bring happiness to many of those whose names are linked with the vast wealth taken from the mines. Henry Comstock, for whom the lode was named, committed suicide; another man used his new found wealth mainly for liquor and before long died of a broken neck when thrown by his horse during a drunken ride;" Lemuel Bowers," who with his wife lived a "rags to riches" story, literally worked himself to death during a time of trouble in his mine and his wife sold the art treasures and furnishings brought from Europe to satisfy her creditors. . Judge Jennie Loitman Barron of Brooklin?, Mass., who is American Mother for 1959, was born of parents who fled to the United States to escape the persecutions and assassina tions of Czarist Russia. The judge says one of her clearest memories of her mother are these words: "Money isn't im portant. It can be lost or stolen. Learning is the thing that enriches your spirit." O.S. . . .'
