'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.

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

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.
