Gold Hill Group
Has Program on
State Centennial
Gold Hill - "The Oregon
Centennial" was the theme
for. the final meeting until
September of Gold Hill Gar
den club. The group met at
the home of the president,
Mrs. Ernest Gregory, High
way 99 north, for a potluck
luncheon. '
Mrs. Fred Jones, program
chairman, and Mrs. Howard
Burnette, reported that they
had completed the planting of
red petunias, blue lobelia and
white alyssum at the base of
the flag pole in the Gold Hill
City park. The plants will be
cared for by the members of
the club, and this will be an
annual project of the group.
Interesting facts concern
ing the history of the Birds
. eye ranch, one of Oregon's
well known landmarks, were
presented by Mrs. Gregory
and Mrs. Effie Birdseye dur
ing the program.
Mrs. Gregory is the former
Grace Birdseye, whose fath
er, J. B. Birdseye was born
in the house at the Fort in
1854. Her aunt, Mrs. Addie
Colvig, was born there in
1856. Mrs. Effie Birdseye said
that the original fort was
located along the creek 200
, hundred feet back of where
the present historic Birdseye
home stands. When the par
ents of J. B. Birdseye came
here in 1852 his mother
brought with her some red
and white peonies. Mrs. Birds
eye said they have been trans
planted and are still bloom
ing. A green gage plum tree
brought here in 1854 and
planted at the Birdseye ranch
is still bearing1 fruik
The sweetbrlar brought
here between 1856 and 1860
by relatives of Mrs. Gregory,
is more fragrant than other
species found growing in this
area, it was said.
It was reported that mem
bers of the local club will
donate shrub" for the new
park when landscaping plans
are completed. Evergreen
trees growing in park were
donated last fall by Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Boy and Arnold
Boye.
The September session of
the group will be held at the
home of Mrs. George Dor
man, Second avenue.
Camp Logtown Now Quiet
After Day Camp

Guests
The last two guests, Martha

Camp Girl's Parad lead
Concert Given Last Night
Said 'Red Letter Event7
By RICHARD D. WERNER
The appearance and per
formance here last night of
the Portland Symphony or
chestra, with Piero Bellugi
conducting, was an event
worth recording in red letters.
The concert was sponsored by
the Oregon Centennial com
mission. Not only is the group a full
symphony orchestra, but it
has a true symphony conduc
tor. Piero Bellugi is a young
man of undoubted talent as a
conductor and interpreter of
orchestra music. He also has
verve, exhuberance and com
mand. That he will do fine
things with and for the orches
tra there is no doubt, and the
members feel the same way.
Many expressed the fact that
he makes them work, but they
love it.
From the beginning of the
concert with "La gazza ladra"
by Rossini, instead of the ov
erture to "The Abduction
from the Seraglio" by Mozart
as programmed, it was quite
evident that thevening was
going to be one oi artistry and
great enjoyment.
Bellugi shows the mark of
hisw teacher, Toscanini, but
withal a personality of his
own-an engaging and ingra
tiating personality. That he
has high musical ideals was
quite evident, and. when the
real rapport between the play
ers and this conductor takes
place, we can expect really
great music to come from
them. We hope they will find
it possible to make an annual
Annual Picnic
Held by Society
At Carpenters
Southern Oregon Dental
Assistants society held the an
nual picnic Wednesday eve
ning at Topsides, the Alfred
S. V. Carpenter home. Thirty
four members and guests gath
ered for swimming, badmin
ton, and ping pong, plus lots
of good food and visiting.
Wieners were grilled out
doors, and some of the men
cranked freezers to make old
fashioned home - made ice
cream.
The picnic was the last
meeting until fall, and the
group will convene again in
September.
ers were Mrs. Morris, Mrs.
Clay Wheeler and Mrs. E. R.
Lyons. The aides were Mary
lee Lowry (Bambi) and Mary
Ann Carnegie (Flower). They
worked with 17 intermediate
girl scouts to earn outdoor
safety badges and . adventure
badges and camped at Log
town overnight.
Camp Bent Pines really
had a pine bent to the
ground. Their leaders were
Mrs. Buseman, Mrs. Green
man, Mrs. Pettigrew with
program aide Barbara Lewis
(Full Moon). They worked
with 10 Brownies planning
cook-outs, hikes and learning
new songs.
Pine Cone Haven
Ctmp 49 Pine Cone Haven
with leader Evelyn Large
(Wild Lily) and aides Ingrid
Bergstrom (Dove), and Karen
Mathern (Piney) had 10 Inter
mediates and three Brownies.
They assisted in making sit
upons constructed of newspa
pers, name tags, completed
their adventure badge and
parts of their second class
badge.
Camp No-Water was under
the leadership of Mrs. Peggy
Foy (Clean). She had 16 In
termediate Girl Scouts with
no aides or assistants. They
completed adventure badges
and camp craft badges and
spent one night camping out
and greeted visitors with
songs the next morning.
The camp served as a way
for many girls to learn to en
joy outdoor life, make new
friends and learn to care for
themselves while in the
woods.
Directors and Assistants
Mrs. St. Germaine and Mrs.
Norris were camp director
and assistant and Mrs. Lee
Dawson was camp nurse. Mr.
Mathews drove the bus and
made four trips daily to trans
port the girls to and from
Camp Logtown.
Mr. and Mrs. Marrow loan
ed the use of the area and
cleaned the well and installed
a pump for water.

tour. It would be good for the
orchestra, for the audiences
and for music.
The great sums of money
now spent on stereophonic rec
ords would soon find its way
into the support of this "real"
music which stereo is trying
to duplicate. Surely, last
night's concert could not real
ly be duplicated by any ma
chine recording. There is that
ineffable quality of live per
formance that can never be
put on record or tape.
Bellugi's reading of Beet
hoven's "Seventh Symphony"
was a joy-full of life and
youth-really the apothesis of
the dance. Considering the
disadvantage of playing from
a stage overhung with heavy
velvet,, the inner voices came
out well. Maintaining a bal
ance of timbres under such
conditions is most difficult.
The higher vibrations are dis
sipated and the percussive are
enhanced. This accounted for
the strings sounding subdued
and the timpani over heavy.
Even the cymbals lacked ring
because of it. Velvet looks
pretty, but it kills sound.
"The Suite Francaise" "by
Milhaud was a pleasure. This
Frenchman has aerated music
and released it from the old
jugs. Perhaps he is not pro
found; but it is not necessary
always to be profound. Music
is of the heart-and a gay and
joyful heart is a gift of the
Gods. May he live long to
cheer us.
Tschaikowski's "Romeo and
Juliet" (Overture Fantasie)
closed the program and a real
ly fine performance it was.
The Capulets and Montagues
really went at it during the
duel section, and Romeo did
sing his love for Juliet. Bellu
gi demonstrated a real, under
standing of this music, and his
young heart spoke to us.
His old maestro may not
have liked Tschaikowsky, but
Bellugi evidently does, and we
would like to hear him do the
symphonies of this sad, intro
spective Russian.
We are grateful to the Cen
tennial commission for bring
ing the orchestra to us, and
grateful to Ernest Hood who
was so instrumental in con
summating the event.
We look forward to a bright
future for the orchestra which
will place Oregon up front
with the other Pacific coast
states symphonically, and we
believe Bellugi is the man to
do it.

Teachers Talks
For Art Group;
Works Chosen

the art department at Crater
High school, was guest speak
er at the monthly meeting of
the Southern Oregon Society
of Artists, June 24.
. Mr. Holbrook's subject was
"Clouds and Aerial Perspec

ful clouds to use as inspira
tion. Mr. Holbrook presented ev
ery one with a written out
line ' to follow as he talked
and then with the use of col
ored slides, he showed how
famous artists had depicted
clouds.
His quotation of Cezanne
was: "Nature is more in depth
than in surface" and he fin
ished with a quotation from
Matisse, "My choice of colors
does not" rest on any scientific
theory. It is based on observa
tion, on feeling, on the very
nature of each experience."
Plans were made for a
Greenwich Village show to be
held in a Medford park in
July. The date will be an
nounced later.
Eugene Bennett, Medford
artist, was made an honorary

1 Pnor Nutrition
Is Discussed
Fdr NFA Group
The effects of poor nutri
tion on infant mortality and
immature functioning was dis
cussed by Miss Anna Streed
at Tuesday's meeting of Nat
ural Foods associates.
She reviewed an article,
"Nutritional state of the moth
er prior to conception," by
Genevieve Stearns, PhD, from
the Journal of the American
Medical association for De
cember 5, 1958.
Miss Streed reported that
one survey found that all still
born infants, all neonatal
deaths but one, all premature
infants but one, all function
ally immature infants, and
most infants born with con
genital defects were born to
mothers with poor to very
poor prenatal diets.
The writer stressed the
need for better instruction in
nutrition for adolescent girls.
Another review, by J. W.
Reynolds, discussed "Water
and the Cycle of Life," by
Joseph Coccanauer. Mr. Reyn
olds concluded .his talk by
giving his personal experience
in producing a good garden
soil from a soil at first diffi
cult to work with.
Proceeds from a sale of
vegetables from gardens of
members will be used to de
fray cost of preparing .a direc
tory of producers of foods
free from chemical contami
nation. The next meeting of the
group will be a potluck picnic
at the Bosworth ranch in the

her, but she needs a slim

"I personally like the coat
dress," said the designer, who
was wearing a collarless one
in beige raw silk with three,
strands of pearls at the neck.
Her coat dress had th,e unbelt
ed, easy lines of the better
made sacks.
"The coat dress is very be
coming to a full figure," she
said. "Some of the shapes you
see today. Honestly! I wonder
why women don't try to hide
them.
"You don't have to be
sylphlike to dress smartly,"
she continued.
In fashion, Vera Maxwell
does not preach disregard of
trends. She just wishes we
women would retain our in
dividuality within the broad
framework of good style.
Cites Queen Mary
"Look at the late Queen
Mary," she said. "Now there
was a woman whose type of
dress definitely was part of
her character, to w e r i n g
toques and all. Yet I'm, sure
she raised and lowered skirt
lengths as trends changed."
The designer flew to Eu
rope for one of her regular
trips of scouting for new fab
rics and new ideas.
"A designer doesn't get in
spiration, from fashionable
women," she said. "I may get
an idea from a padre's cloak
. . . from the beautiful shawl
of a native woman. From Tan

whole flock of colors. Those
people start with such bril
