Participants will leave the Y at 9 a.m. Monday through Thursday on a bus and will re turn before 5 p.m. each day. Friday night they camp out, and fathers are invited to spend the night at the camping-site with them. Age limit has been set at 7 and 8 year olds, Jones said. Older boys are urged to attend the Diamond lake Y camp. Emphasis of Program The day camp program em phasizes the study of wild life, preparation of camp sites and learning to build shelters, cooking out, sand sculpture, woodcarving, rock collecting, bird study and hiking, com bined with a daily swim, and to generally make it possible to give the boys experience in group living, Jones said. At the camp, boys are divid ed into groups of six with a trained counselor. The staff is picked high school juniors and seniors. Special attention to safety in the woods is taught by a ranger from the Star Ranger station, and per sonal safety is taught by the camp staff. Bruce Burns, YMCA youth secretary, is program director. Carl E. Gordon, a senior at the University of Oregon, is assistant dorector. Adults with special skills in astronomy, rope use, fishing, gold mining, and nature lore will accompany the boys each day to help them in instruc tion, Jones added.

Driver License Examiners Have Tough Job Telling Friend He Can't Operate Driving through a plate glass window is not the only reason that scores of Oregon driver license examiners have to refuse licenses, but it is one of the most dangerous.

Wherever the name Wil liam Shakespeare is vener ated, the Ashland festival is known as the place where his plays are produced in a sylvan setting and on a stage, care fully designed in conformity with the Elizabethan tradi tion. Camparisons are said to be odious, but there is a parallel in spirit, at least, between the efforts that persisted to make the Shakespearean en terprise at Ashland a success, and the same enterprise and stick-to-itiveness that resulted in the building and develop ment of Camp White as a home for disabled war veier ens. The two interests, of course, are not similar except as they apply to bringing two distinct influences into southern Ore gon which are not indigen ous to the region. It took a great deal of the pioneer spirit for Ashland and South era Oregon college initially to sponsor, and for the group forming the festival associa tion to press forward such an undertaking, so far removed from the cultural scene of its origin. The enthusiastic support of the various volunteer organ izations and public spirited citizens of the area, who have kept working to make the agate desert, near Medford, bloom and grow, comes from the same frontier approach. Now it is time to view in retrospect something of the nature of these achievements in the post war period. In the case of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, the 20th season is at hand with a greater national and inter national interest generated than ever before. A new Elizabethan theater was dedicated last season and for the first time, the cycle of four plays from the Shake spearean library was broken with an original playlet "Maske of the New World" -a gesture in recognition of the Oregon Centennial cele bration.

Again one "extra" will be presented-"The Duch ess of Malfi" by John Web-i ster. "Taming of The Shrew," : Julius Caesar," "The Tem pest," and "Richard II," are the four plays of the master to be offered tn rotation. Angus L. Bowmer, produc ing director, whose genius made possible the unique brand of showmanship ac countable for the widespread response among true lovers of the theater, will not be present this year. He is mak ing a tour of all the other festivals here and abroad, a number of which have sprung from his venture in this hal lowed field of the drama. As he leaves, he can give parting glance at the firm, reinforced concrete structure housing his project and see permanent home for the dreams of the golden age of literature. They can be re enacted each summer as long as the people appreciate such a contribution to their cul tural education. It is worth the price of admission just to see this stage and contemplate the artistry that conceived it for the type of plays Shakespeare wrote. Lighting and costuming pro vide the color to enhance the poetry of the lines. There is still work to be done in ar rangement of lighting facil ities for better effects, and in addition of two at the entrance. On the left will be the classrooms for the Institute of Renaissance Studies, now conducted by Dr. Margery Bailey, professor emeritus of English at Stanford univer sity. To the right of the en trance will be the festival offices. . Hichard L. Hay is the de signer and technical director of the new theater and Jack A, Edson, of Medford, is the architect. William Fatten has been the general manager of the Oregon Shakespearean Festi val for the past six years. He says that ticket sales this year are a month ahead of last er, the examiners have tough job in telling them they can't drive, or are not qual ified for a license without making them angry. Local examiners George Plane, R. Leo Sevcik, and Walter Michael have found this to be true while being exposed to these circum stances nearly every day. Like the other 43 Oregon department of motor vehicle driver examiners around the state. Plane, Sevcik and Mich ael are called upon to test the driving knowledge and exper ience of their employers, the public, five days a week. Two Powerful Hazards In their occupation, they face two powerful hazards the wild rumor and the wild ride. Both seem inevitable. Occasionally, drivers in larger cities start a rumor that it's easier to get a license from examiners in outlying field offices even though the department's standards are the same statewide. Examiners throughout Ore gon use the same phrases when administering a law test or vision test. They are taught to give drive test instructions dispassionately and clearly. They are taught to be polite, but professional, engaging in no small talk which might dis tract applicants. Despite the fact that all driver examiners are carefully selected on the basis of civil service tests and given the same 80-hour training course at the central office in Salem, each two-man examiner team faces the hero-villain rumor. Different Views "Watch out tor the tall ex aminer," says a would-be driver, "The shorter fellow is the good Joe. He'll pass you." "Watch out for the short; one," says another examinee j who flunked. "He gets a per-; sonal satisfaction out of; flunking you. It's the tall one who's the good guy." The conscientious work of examiners is apparent in con sistently high ratings of the Oregon program by the Amer ican Association of Motor Ve hicle administrators and Ka-; tional Safety council, j Each applicant who success- fully completes his law and vision tests moves on to a drive test that 8'erages about : 15 minutes. "Some are good drivers; some are not. Believe me, it's tough to reject a driver and j keep his good will while do-j ing so," examiner Sevcik says. Even so, their public reia-j tions seem to be high. A five month survey of public opin ion toward examiners com-i pleted last December showed j less than 1 per cent of 2,800 j respondents unfavorable. ! Examiners Scvtik, Michaej and Plane cover a territory bounded by Medford, Ashland and Cave Junction, Last year they gave 5,?72 law tests, 4,122 vision tests and 4,537 drive tests. They are constantly in dan ger of injury If an inexper ienced driver makes a mistake at the wrong time. Failing to signal for turns, turning from or into wrong lanes, cftanging lanes without checking traffic and signaling, falling to keep check on conditions through side and rear-view mirrors: these are potential accident causes and signals to examin ers that the driver isn't ready for a license. Of course, it's the really wild rides that stand out in examiners' memories, like the time the mayor of a coast town completed his drive test by driving through a plate glass window. He didn't get his license that trip, OPEN FOR INSPECTION 11:00 a.m. Till 5:00 p.m. Pired Street Gutters Sewer Curbs ir WJ SMwsiks An4 AS far $15,300.00, This Horns Has a Lovely Kitchen with Built-in.

WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION Phone: SP 2-7283 Those who have not been to Ashland for some time will find significant changes. The Shakespearean a t mo s phcre has been enhanced by the re modeling of the Lithia hotel, now the Mark Anthony which will open July 15. Also, a new look is pro vided by the Improved Ash land Tidings, a daily news paper, well edited and print ed, A recent account of the city council action, approv ing a budget of close to two and a half million dollars for the coming year is significant. Two major improvements in the interest of health call for approximately a million of this amount. They are ex penditures for a new hospital and for a sewage disposal plant. Edd Rountrce, the present publisher of the Tidings, is much interested in tne worn done at the VA Domiciliary and plans in the near future to run a feature story about Camp White today. It has been the Ashland Elks who have donated the services of Emil Krocger as VAVS representative of the State Elks association for the past few years and thus an other spoke has been added in the ever turning wheel of events provided for the vet erans of the various organiza tions throughout the Rogue valley. And SOC is now providing much needed encouragement through frequent visits by fac ulty members, whose talks, including those of President Elmo Stevenson, have been well received. Blind Man Robbed, But Catches Thief Letart Falls, Ohio - Harry Allen, who has operated a gas I station here for 27 year, Is blind. He can handle all the work, but has to rely on his customers to tell him the de nominations of the bills they give him. Once Allen got stuck when s youth handed him a one dol lar bill and told him it was a ten. But the thief paid, too. after making the mistake of returning to the scene. Alien recognized the sound of the car !nd got a patron to take down the license number. Police nicked up the youth, r tt.rrthfl nut tn n rr -n! . j violator, and got a confession.
