MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE,
A story over the wire from London says that the favor
ite topic of conversation in Great Britain now is the future
of Princess Margaret and her husband, Anthony Armstrong
Jones. One of the favorite topics around the Rogue valley
is the mosquito menace.
At the Sojourner garden party Thursday Mrs. O. A.
Eden apologized and said that in spite of spending $16 on
various sprays, she had been unable to rid her garden of
the pests. Another woman declared her husband sprayed
$5 worth of insect dope around their patio one day in an
effort to rid the area of the insects just before a dinner,
and that the next morning "there were as many as ever."
Mrs. Jack RIoran declared Potpourri's garden couldn't
possibly have as many mosquitoes as infest the Moran's
acreage, and Kcnn Knackstedt argued along the same line.
What's more, Kenny K. said "I can prove it." When we gave
a polite hoot, he just said "you wait and see." So we waited,
and in three days, we saw. Kenny took camera in hand
and made a picture of the mosquitoes clustered on the wood
above his door. Here is a part of the picture, and Potpourri
admits defeat. The Knacktedts have more mosquitoes than
we do, or else they figured out some clever trick to gather
them all in one spot.
Over the fruit salad and iced drinks at the Medford
hotel last Monday, Potpourri and two women from Ashland
tried to decide why so many Americans don't like to read
talked about the everlasting popularity of Shakespeare's
plays and the trend of the theater in general in this country,
The Ashland women, Mrs. Harold Offord, who lives in Ber
keley, Calif., and comes to Ashland for the summer, and
Mrs. W. B. McCullough, are as enthusiastic about the Shake
spearean festival as is Potpourri.
We triggered the conversation with an article by Joseph
Papp, founder and producer of the New York Shakespeare
festival, who believes that state support offers the best so
lution for the problems of fine theater m this country. This
director says that theater should "stand in the vanguard
of thought, should be an area for challenging ideas in both
content and form, a place for deep and stimulating experi
ence." Instead, he says "We have a threater without scheme
or purpose, without consistent artistic leadership, a theater
based on whim, subject to economic laws thoroughly at odds
with creative objectivity, a theater with pick-up teams of
talent plucked from the overflowing pool of unemployment."
Mr. Papp believes that the arts cannot operate on the
profit principle," and that since they are an essential part
of our lives and necessary for survival, the government
should support the theater, just as it supports education,
or the postal system. This interesting man says that the the
ater would be freer under government than it would be
under the profit system, since under the latter, producers
naturally turn to whatever will bring the greatest potential
gross.
"By making the theater a responsibility of government,
it makes it a responsibility of the people," Mr. Papp wrote.
"Restricting the theater to private subsidy cuts it off from
the mainstream of American life and perpetuates the grow
ing separation of the theater and its vast potential audience.
"Only with government aid can we have ticket prices
within the reach of everybody, a greater number and variety
of plays and a guarantee of continued existence lor the the
ater. Private subsidy narrows the scope of the theater. Gov
ernment involvement broadens its role into the larger area
of education and contributes to the development of a greater,
more intelligent and more responsible audience."
Faith McCullough has some strong doubts about Mr.
Papp's idea, but Mrs. Offord pointed out that most European
countries, where there is a broader and deeper participation
in the arts than the United States has yet attained, have
government support of the theater.
Talking about the quality of reading in tins country.
Mrs. Offord, who has published a numroer of books and
who writes book reviews for the San Francisco Chronicle,
said she once offered to help Girl Scout troop members earn
badges. Thinking that she would pick an easy badge course,
Mrs. O. picked reading. To her dismay, she discovered that
most of the troop members weren't really interested in
reading and some actively resisted her efforts to enlarge
their reading horizons.
The three of us also brooded over the fact that year by
year a note of sloppiness has crept into the business of pub
lishing reading material; 20 years ago a misspelled word or
grammatical error could not be found in a novel put out
by one of the good publishing firms, or in an issue of a
first-rate magazine. Now it is quite common.
A notice submitted to the society department recently
read: "Members are to bring a covered dish and their hus
bands." We presume that the husbands would be tucked
into a basket, along with the meat loaf and scalloped
potatoes, and covered with a clean white tea tosvcl. How
ever, husbands were really given their due. The notice was
written in the customary black type with the exception of
the world husbands, which was capitalized. O.S.
