Circuit Judge Edward Kelly forsook his iudicial duties last week end long enough to go to Portland for a reunion. Every five years the remaining members of the University of Oregon football squad that handed out an unexpected defeat to the Washington Huskies in 1924 hold a reunion on the occasion of the Oregon-Washington game. Judge "Ed" was a member of the squad, and since he hadn't been able to attend the last two reunions murder trials interfered both times he was doubly pleased to be present for this one. The judge readily admits game just sat on the sidelines and got soaking wet in the downpour of rain that helped to make the game a fiasco for the Huskies and a triumph for the Oregon Ducks. "In those days a football team was 11 men they went in at the start of the game and stayed for the entire game unless they were half-killed," the judge recalled. "The rest of us were just cannon fodder for practice." He reminisced about how the Huskies, in the running for the Pacific coast championship, traveled down to Eugene confident that noth ing could go wrong. The famed 'Tesreau boys and the rest of the team were going to slaughter Oregon. But when the game ended, it was a 7 to 3 win for Oregon, much to every one's surprise. The Webfoots hadn't made a single first down during the whole game, but someone had fallen on a fumbled ball and scored a touchdown. At the dinner in Portland last Saturday night which fol lowed the game, Judge Ed had a wonderful time swapping stories with Bob Mantz and Dick Reed; the former was all coast end in 1924, and the latter was captain of the team and all-coast tackle. Also on hand for the dinner was Jack Bliss, who coached at Ashland for several years after graduating from the University, and who is now on the faculty at Forest Grove High school. Also seated at the reunion table was "Baz" Williams, (the judge can't remember what his real name is) who had been a limelight player even earlier and who was line coach for the University squad in 1924. He now is the Williams of Williams Bakery in Eugene. During the dinner a wire was read from -Herb Powell, now Lt. Gen. Herbert .Powell of the United States Air Force. "He was some more of the the cannon fodder," the judge recalled. On hand to take pictures and write stories about the reunion was Sam Wilderman, now a Portland attorney who was sports editor of the Oregon Emerald and who traveled with the Oregon team back in '24. Jude Ed was real glad that he didn't have to stay back in Medford this time and work, at his business of justice. ' Time and space ran out on Potpourri Tuesday morning before we said everything which needed to be said about the current Footlighter play. It's a shame, too, for those who work at the other important jobs around a little theater should have their share of, space as well as the actors and director. , The set which Bernard Roberts and Thayer Tarvin de signed is an attractive one its a marvel how the Foot lighters make do with the tiny stage. Tony Bezodis, Foot lighter newcomer, , is stage manager and as usual Alice Buchter, wife of the director, is working in the box office. This time she is being helped Dix, Marie Pierce and Charlene Tarvin. , . Eleanor Shaw is managing the coffee and cookie time between the second and third acts. This coffee custom adds just the right touch to the Footlighter plays, so far as we are concerned. Like we said in the review, "The Show Off" is good entertainment. It reminds us of our childhood not that the character situation is the same but what family- doesn't have at least one drawer in assortment of everything that how many fathers and mothers have stormed and laid down the law and pointed out what would happen if daughter married that good for nothing suitor? The lines may not be as pointed as some of the current Broadway hits, but hey're good, nevertheless. The audience Monday night may. not have roared, but they chuckled a lot, like the scene when Mrs. the fact that her young son has just been paid $iuu,uuu ior an invention asks, cautiously "How many noughts is that?" Last night Potpourri bought the two of us are fond of cookies and ice cream. Ihe cooKies didn't cost very much about member. As things are today, 70 cents doesn't seem like very much. But in some other nations, 70 cents is a lot of money. Particularly if the money is used by some big agency, like the United Nation's agency for children, UNICEF. A single UNICEF penny will buy several glasses of milk, and a dime will nav for enough medicine to make an ailing child well. . Last year when Medford children went out on Halloween to ring door bells and says "trick or treat" to those that answered, some took along little cartons and instead of asking for treats, they asked for UNICEF coins. Less than $300 was collected, which doesn't seem wee enougn ior a city this large. Perhaps when the money is counted this Halloween day after tomorrow, there will be more to add to the dimes and nickles collected in other U.S. and Canadian cities. But whatever the sum is, what is more important will be the lesson in sharing which it is hoped some children will have learned. - Sister Peg (not to be confused with Pal Peg sent along a little leaflet in her last letter a little publication of the firm which issues the Merriam-Webster dictionaries. The lines which she had marked read: "The reason a dollar won't do as much for people as it once did is that people won't do as much for a dollar as they once did."

Wednesday Club Elizabeth Jabkins' boo k, "Elizabeth the Great" was re viewed by Mrs. H. S. Chirg win at the last meeting of Wednesday Study ciub. The daughter of Henry the VIII, Elizabeth is depicted as being slight of figure and of great intellect. She was only two when her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed and at eight she said "I shall never marry." At the age of 25, Elizabeth as queen, brought extraordinary gifts to the throne. She had great person al magnetism; an unfailing in stinct for choosing her advis ors; financial genius and great physical energy. She reigned during a period of great un rest , and was. the target for much intrigue and deception but managed r to overcome it because of her unusual attri butes. Many historians rate her as. one of the greatest women of all time. Mrs. Max Holland talked on "A First Hand Look at the Soviet Union." Mrs. Holland talked on the findings of four Americans who recently made a trip to Russia among whom were a leading attorney of San Francisco and a profes sor of history from the Uni versity of Virginia. Thes men said the Russians are friendly and very curious to learn about the American people and their way of life. The tourist hotel at which they stayed had one thousand rooms but the plumbing was of 1910 vintage. .Although Moscow has 40 museums, it has but five gas stations which are of the self-service type, each with one woman attend ant. Most physicians are wom en who earn a starting salary of about $80 per month. The speaker said Moscow has but one protestant church -which is of the Baptist denomina tion. Most of the manual labor is done by women. When fashion shows are held, the garments are not for sale but only pat terns are available. The Rus sians are. very fond of . our jazz and any such records that reach their country are highly prized. The travelers discovered that dentures are made of stainless steel. There was much favorable comment about the Russian subway sta tions which are described as works of art.

Mrs. Maybelle Long, organizing secretary for the League from Winches ter, Mass., sparked her open ing remarks to a regional con-' f erence of Leaguers here Tuesday with the comment "It was thought that four or five years would be the max imum duration for such an organization." She added that while "the impact of women's vote did , not substantially change government, the league fills the need for a continuing effort directed to ward individual citizen par ticipation." About 50 members of Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, and Medford leagues attend ing the conference, held in the Red Cross building, were re minded by Mrs. Long that the League is not a "reform" or ganization. Emphasis is di rected instead upon the indi vidual citizen-;-to have that citizen take part in govern ment. As a means to this end, the program or study topics "serve as an exercise in how to participate in government but happily, these studies also lead to 'action' or legislative influence.". According to Mrs. Long, the League has enjoyed wonderful success in this area. : - Grass Roots Study - Called to the attention of the group is the fact that the membership suggests and chooses the study topics on the national, state, and local levels. This process was re viewed with audience partic ipation. Local lea gues throughout the United States are presently accepting 'mem ber suggestions for national study topics which will be evaluated by the - national board, returned for consider ation at the local level, re submitted, and finally adopt ed by the local delegates to a national convention in St. Louis next April. Mrs. Long defined the "unit" or discussion group as the device for letting mem bers talk together about a subject - the most effective way to learn. Mrs. Don Bohn- ert, Medford unit chairman, voiced the observation that people who attend a discus sion meeting "without a wealth of background study are often stimulated to read further" and that this is a necessary step toward citizen participation in government, The state president, Mrs. K. E. Montgomery, Eugene, en dorsed this as a valid ap proach to the evaluation of unit effectiveness. Finances Discussed During a discussion of the finance of League, Mrs. Long suggested that members keep in mind that "League does make a difference-in the com munity." Contributors will IT'S A WONDERFUL STORE! A OF LA Soc usually understand this and further that they will agree that dues cannot be at a high level if the open, democratic membership policy is to be protected. Mrs. John Wolfe of Cor- vallis, organization chairman for the state, reviewed the activities of the Corvallis League in the area of public relations. Special mention was made of materials which are available from national for radio and television. During the luncheon session Mrs. Long outlined how the League "takes action." She said this is done in three steps, first by providing in- Callas Concert j Is Interrupted By Bomb Scare By KATHERINE HATCH United Press International Kansas City, Mo. - (UPB V There was a-, switch Wednes day night and the audience walked out during a perform ance by soprano Maria Callas. But it came back '-ft ;; A bomb", threat fcaused a packed .house ' that included former President Trtiman and two governors to : leave the theater after Miss Callas' first song. :, '. '. Miss Callas was told while the orchestra was tuning up that someone , had called the theater r,an,d announced that a bomb bad been planted there. -. " ' She went on stage ancl sang the first of 'five .arias. Then Missouri Gov. Jamesl T. Blair ordered the theater.' emptied while police searched for the bomb. None was found. 4 The show was delayed 30 minutes. Then the blue ribbon audience, most in formal at tire, filed back into the thea ter and Miss Callas finished the concert by singing four more arias. . In addition to Truman and Blair, : Gov. George C. Dock ing of Kansas was in the audience. Miss Callas once threw all Italy into operatic turmoil by walking out on President Giovanni Gronchi and a full house in Milan because she became ill in the first act. . Only a night ago she stood up Blair and others who had assembled at the Nelson' Art Gallery at a reception in her honor. Her explanation was that she was too tired after flying from Italy to . Kansas City with a brief stop-over in New York. But Wednesday night Miss Callas, whose temper is easily triggered, did not appear flustered by the bomb threat "I had to go on," Miss Cal las told reporters later, 1 knew that if I didn't and the show was delayed before it even started, the press would call it just another show of my temper. I had to sing that first aria."

Mrs. Long stressed the league's policy of first study ing a program item, determin ing concensus in large areas of general agreement and then taking action. She explained operation of the league's lo cal, state and national levels, and stressed that the entire league program must be man aged so that as many mem bers as possible are taking an active part. The matter of dissident factions was dis cussed. Throughout the day the au dience participated with ques tions, suggestions, and dis cussion. Moderator and chair man was immediate past pres ident of the Medford League, Mrs. Hugh Collins.

The lec turer told of the "why and how" of the brain washing of U.S. soldiers in the prison camps of Korea. He stated that the soldiers were easily led because they had never had proper training in their own country. The speaker said that training for respon sibility, and for the democra tic way of life, should be begun very early preferably in the home. Miss Darelyn Huson played a group of piano selections. .
