Medford Growth Study
Explained by Supervisor
"Medford Growth Study"
was the subject of Lee Rags
dale, supervisor of physical
education, health and safety
for Medford public' schools,
when he spoke for a meeting
of Washington Parent-Teacher
association February 19th. He
was introduced by the school
principal, Ronald Weather
ford. . Mrs. Ragsdale stated that
the problem arose as to
whether it was good for chil
dren to participate in ath
letics. A study and scientific
investigation is being made
through the Medford growth
study with tests being given
during October, February and
May.
Children at 13 years of age
may differ as much as 62
months in their physiological
ages, and there is a possible
32 months difference at the
age of 15 years, the speaker
said, because some children
rmature more rapidly than
others. During May a report
card of cumulative informa
tion will be given to the par
ents of children participating
in the program to show the
child's progress, he stated.
The meeting was held in the
school cafeteria. Presentation
of the flag was made by Den
3; Mrs. Keith Lawson is den
mother. The PTA prayer was
read by Mrs. Norman McMa
han. Group singing was led
by Miss Laura York. Room
count was won by Mrs. Rob
ert Huff, teacher of the sec
ond grade.
- Mrs. William Townes, asso
ciation vice-president, gave
the executive board report
and stated what steps were
being taken in the county,
through the PTA, to control
obscene literature. Letters of
explanation were being mail
ed to all units in the county.
-Charts Explained
' Mrs. Everett Bennett, safe
ty chairman, reported that
charts will be sent home with
each child for the next three
months. The charts will con
tain information on how to
guard against accidents. Bi-
cycle safety tape will be pur
chased by the association and
applied to each child's ma-
chine.
Mrs. Charles Chitwood,
fways and means chairman,
announced that a chili dinner
will be sponsored by the
group Tuesday, March 1, in
the school cafeteria during the
hours from 5 until 8 p.m.

Company
To Appear
On Sunday
An unusual feature of the
Festival Company of Norway,
which will appear here Sun
day, February 28, for Jackson
County Civic Music associa
tion, is the inclusion in its
programs of choreographed
dramas, based on legends. It
is stated that the staging of
these requires much acting
ability as well as skill with
the dance and music.
A leading role with the Fes-
tival company is played by
one of the foremost actors of
that country, Toralv Maur
stad. Son of the celebrated Al
fred Maurstad world-famous
exponent of Peer Gynt, Tor
alv brings to America a rich
personality and an unusual
histrionic talent that has
made him the talk of Oslo,
capital of Norway.
Sharing honors with him
will be Erna Skaug, lyric so
prano of the Internationally
renowned Bergen Festival.
Seventeen other performing
artists round out the Festival
Company of Norway, among
them the dancers Ornulf and
Dorothe Oiseth and Brit and
Aksel Stokke, husband-and-wife
exponents of the coun
try's most demanding folk
' -i
aanues.
The regisseur of the Fes
tival Company of Norway,
Barthold Halle, one of Nor
way's most talented stage di
rectors, has risen to promi
nence during the last few
years. He has produced and
staged productions for opera,
drama, musicals and for radio.
A special thrill will come
with the playing of the Har
danger fiddle, often called
the national instrument of
Norway. Though it looks like
a more gaily designed version
of the conventional violin, it
produces a completely dif
ferent tone, heady and deeply
expressive. Three of Norway's
leading players of the Har
danger fiddle will be on hand
to add a touch of gaiety to the
event.
Curtain time is 8 p.m.
Paris Rebel Lucy Man
guin, who traditionally re
leases pictures of her fashions
in advance to other Paris de
signers, uses apron drapery
to achieve the tunic look for
spring. This beige and white
print silk dress has a panel
of fabric drawn across the
front of an all-over pleated
underskirt. The blousiness of
the bodice is nipped by a
brown leather belt which is
partially concealed by gath
ers at the waist. This is a
copyrighted model, which
means that copying , is for
