Newspaper Page Text'Elijah' Performance Enjoyed by Large Audience Sunday It was 15 minutes before 6 o'clock yesterday evening when the final notes of "Eli jah" died away in the Med ford High school auditorium. Mrs. Lois Windsor, Ash land, and Mrs. Violet Hunter, Medford, sang the contralto and soprano roles. Mrs. Wind sor has a fine contralto voice The performance had started ! of much depth and color and at 3 pjn. Sunday afternoon concerts seldom last this long, and under the circumstances it would not have been sur prising if the applause had been brief. But it was en thusiastic and went on for a considerable time. Yesterday's performance of this monumental oratorio was an excellent one; the audience appreciated and enjoyed the music, and expressed their ap preciation with the warm ap plause. To present a work such as "Elijah" is a great undertaking and the Phil harmonic Society of Southern Oregon deserves the gratitude of the music-loving public of the region for having attempt ed it. and for doing it well. 100 Musicians About 100 musicians and others were involved in the program. The chorus num bered more than 40 singers, and the orchestra about the same number. Four soloists spent long hours in prepara tion and two traveled a con siderable distance to appear yesterday in Medford. To re hearse and direct "Elijah" was a great effort for Con ductor Richard D. Werner, his assistant and organist, Bruno Pellegrini, and for the re hearsal pianist, Ray Lewis, who sang in the chorus as well. The soloists for yesterday's program added much to the impact of the oratorio. George Peckham, who came from Se attle to sing the title role, is not only endowed with bass baritone voice of much beauty and richness, but he knows how to produce a vocal tone properly. Mr. Peckham, who began his singing career here, has a host of friends who thoroughly enjoyed hearing him yesterday. He sang with unusual emotion, but he sang well. Of particular beauty was the aria "It Is Enough." Obadiah While the role of "Obadiah" does not provide as much op portunity for the soloist, as I does that of "Elijah," Louis Clayson of Sacramento, Calif., handled it yesterc'.ay most competently. Mr. Clayson's tenor voice is fine and pure and he, too, known how to sing. Both Mr. Peckham and Mr. Clayson have excellent diction, which is eery impor tant for a musical story such as "Elijah." the best chicken deserves the finest noodles sh ; sings religious music with assurance and warmth. Yes terday was Mrs. Hunter's first major appearance in Medford as a musician and she made an excellent impression on her audience with her light, lyric voice. Other Numbers The various solo, trio and quartet numbers were sung yesterday by Mrs. Sylvia De Voss, Miss Frances Thrun as Jezebel, Mrs. Tresa Matlack, Mrs. Gloria Reaves, Mrs. Sue Loree Ford, Mrs. Mattewillis Beard, Mrs. Anne Leonard, Mrs. Rosalie Dole, Almus Pruitt, Ron Bartlett, Oliver Beard and Maynard Hadley. The trio for female voices, "Lift Thine Eyes" was sung by Mrs. Matlack, Mrs. Reaves and Mrs. Boe. This is one of the loveliest compositions in the entire work, and the three voices chosen for the number yesterday blended nicely. Although not very large, the chorus which Mr. Werner assembled for "Elijah" turned in an excellent performance yesterday. It was somewhat weak in the tenor section, but tenor voices are not always to be found in the quantity needed. The choral compositions in '"Elijah" are some of the most stirring and exciting to be heard, and they were sung effectively yesterday. Espec ially fine were the renditions of "Hear Our Cry, O Baal," "Behold, God the Lord" and "Then Did Elijah." These were much better than the final chorus number for part one, where the orchestra and chorus made an uncertain be ginning. When one considers the difficulty of this work, the amount of rehearsal time and the fact that the group as a whole rehearsed from 7:30 p.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. Sunday, listeners can afford to be indulgent. As a whole, Director Wern er and his musicians turned in an excellent performance and the large audience which came from all over southern Oregon - even a bus load of listeners from the Milo acad emy near Canyonville-enjoy-ed it greatly.-O.S. W-2 Forms Must Be Mailed With Returns Employers and employees were reminded today by A. G. Erickson, Oregon district director of the internal reve nue service, of the importance of the W-2 withholding cer tificate in the proper filing of 1959 federal income tax re turns. "Employers, Erickson said, are obligated by law to fur nish copies of this form to their employees by Jan. 31. Employees, in turn, must at tach the copy of the W-2 to their Form 1040, 1040A or 1040W when filing. Employees should prepare their returns as soon as they receive their withholding cer tificates and to file them as soon as possible thereafter, Erickson added. Employees who have work ed for more than one concern during 1959 must include all W-2 forms with their return, he said. In the case of couples filing jointly, each of whom was employed during the year, care should be taken that all W-2 forms are at tached and any change of jobs indicated. ROA VISITS SLAVS Belgrade, Yugoslavia-fUPD-Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa arrived Sunday for an official two-day visit. The Yugoslav news agency Tan jug said Roa called on Yugo slav Foreign Minister Koca Popovic shortly after his ar rival. Roa came here from the United Arab Republic where at attended the dedica tion ceremonies for the As wan Dam and conferred with U.A.R. officials.

Also elected were Miss Ila Estella, Ashland, vice presi dent; Arthur Webster, Med ford, second vice president; and Mrs. Weston secretary treasurer. Ed Bolt, Gold Hill, state president of the Oregon Motor Court association,- attended.

Nixon Trip Not Campaign Opener Washington-IUPD-Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon says he does not regard his week end trip to Florida as the opening of his formal cam paign for the GOP presi dential nomination. Nixon, questioned on his re turn Sunday, said the Florida trip was arranged some time ago and he did not consider it a formal campaign effort but merely "a campaign-type trip." The vice pr sident con ferred with Republican lead ers in Miami and Gainesville. He addressed 10,000 persons at Gainesville and was guest of honor at a huge reception in Miami. Realignment of YMCA Staff Members Told Ml$$10n egg noodles Accused Slayer To Defend Sell Reno -(UPD- Accused slayer Thayne Archibald, 20, today consulted with two court-appointed attorneys in prepara tion for his Feb. 8 trial at which he will represent himself. District Judge Clel Geor- getta granted the Ray, Utah, defendant permission to de fend himself after he dis missed his attorneys so things could be "speeded up." Archibald was accused of killing Larry Waters, 17, Liv ermore, Calif., last August. A realignment of staff as signments at the YMCA here and the addition of a new physical education director have been announced by W, J. Williams, chairman of the Medford YMCA personnel committee. David Curzon, Pocatello, Ida., will arrive here next month to fill the position of physical education director, formerly held by Bruce Burns. Burns will take over the responsibilities of youth program director, a position which has been vacant since last spring. Curzon is a recent graduate of Idaho State university, with a bachelor's degree in physical education. He has been physical director at the YMCA in Pocatello for the past 18 months. Curzon is married and will bring his wife and two chil dren to Medford late this month. Besides having served four years in the U.S. Navy, Curzon has had experience in teaching swimming and sev eral other sports which he will also instruct and super vise in Medford. As youth program director, one of Burns' principal duties will be the organization and direction of the YMCA Dia mond Lake camp. In addition to this responsibility, all Y Youth Club organization and the programming for youth under 18 will be supervised by him. R. L. "Bob" Jones who has been the general secretary of the association for the past 11 years will continue in that capacity. Other Personnel In addition to program and administrative persons, there are several employees who work part time on special as signments at the YMCA. Wilson Gilinsky is aquatic director and swim coach, Wil lard Harwood is life guard, Mrs. Roy Wilkes is women's gym and swim instructor, with Curtis Saltmarsh, Robert Baker and Ralph Lohse serv ing as desk clerks. Working full time as busi ness secretary is Mrs. Carlene Severson, and Orvile K. Geise is in charge of building main tenance. Williams said that the vol ume of activity provided at the Medford YMCA for mem bers and the community at large is only possible because of the dozens of volunteer workers who conduct classes, lead clubs, work on boards and committees, and to a large degree carry on the work of the association with the paid staff guiding and co ordinating their efforts.
