' .1 According to Mrs. Taylor, the concert will consist of three parts: the dances-on- the- green, an Elizabethan Suite with transition dances to show how the flavor of Elizabethan times may be used in modern dances, and a solo number. The ' Elizabethan s a i t e, "Suite Galante Gaie," consists of four parts, starting with a pavane, an Elizabethan mel ody discovered by W. Bernard Windt, Festival music direc tor. Basically the same melody Is used for the different forms, and has boon adapted by Mr. Windt, Mrs. Taylor said, starting with the Pavane, and , 'continuing through the Courwante, the Sarabande, and the Galliarde. The transition dances begin with a fugue, a newer form of music using bass, viol de gam- ba, harpsichord, and recorder as accompaniment. "As each instrument enters, the dancer begins to dance, so they are, in effect, visualizing the mu sic," Mrs. Taylor explained. The next number is an Eli zabethan r h um b a. "We're doing it as the ' Elizabethans might have done it," Mrs. Taylor commented. The tango. Rogue Valley Girl Scout Writes of British Tour By BETTY DUFFY Traveling in England as an American tourist gives one a very one-sided view of the country. This is why I am so fortunate in spending my sum mer in England, as a repre sentative of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. Following two weeks of sight-seeing in Lon don, our group of 24 divided into four groups in order to participate in the homc-hospl-tsility portion of our trip. I am in a group of two. Nancy Kinsman, a Senior Scout from Ohio, and I trav eled to the county of Glouces tershire in southwest England where we stayed from July 27 to August 10. I was fortunate in living with four different families, all connected With the Eng lish Girl Guide movement.. During my stay In Glouces tershire with the four fam ilies, I lived in a small, village, at the home of the headmaster of a private boy's school, above a town bank, and on a farm. This gave me quite a varied view of aspects of Eng lish life. Take Excursions Conscious of the historical, cultural, and general points of interest in the locality, my hostesses took me on numer ous excursions. I explored cathedrals, castles, and caves; I visited remains of Roman baths and Roman villas;. I watched pottery being made and later saw a "craftsmen's exhibition" where it was on display with other local handi work; and I watched the Eng lish sports of cricket, polo, and gliding. Because I am in England In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Girl Guiding, many of - the activities are Guide and Scout functions. One of my hostesses was the leader of; a Girl Guide News the next number, is still a newer form, but is done with an Elizabethan flavor by the dancers. "There are endless things we could do with the music, but the tango is easy to recog nize," Mrs. Taylor explained. "We arc also going to do a polka, because all folk dances came Irom this source, ana could very easily hnve been done in Elizabethan times." 'We're doing all the dances with couples, so the audience can see the difference between the dances," she explained. To utilize the three levels of the Festival's theatre stage, the dancers will dance the number, "Design for Three Levels," with dancers on all three playing areas. They will also do "Courantc Sylphldc," using the music for the finale from the Festival's 1957 pro duction of "As Vou Like It," Festival Dancer Virginia Bowman will do a solo num ber, "Variation of the Queen's Theme," showing how Eliza bethan music can be used as an accompaniment for a dance that is balletic in style. All music used for the con cert is Elizabethan, and will Macks Return Gold Hill Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert A. Mack and. sons, Herschel and David Mack, re turned to their home here last week after a vacation at Win chester bay, Ore. company. I attended several of the , company's meetings where I found girls of many ages grouped into patrols. A feature of one of the meet ings was the ceremony of in vesting a Queen's Guide, the highest rank in the Guide pro gram. Visits Camps - I also had the opportunity of visiting five different Guide camps. Here, girls acquire skills of establishing a camp site of tents, lashed items such as wash stands and lug gage racks, and build numer ous types of fires. The camps ranged In size from 14 girls to over 700 girls. The latter camp which was in Worcestershire, was ad jacent to the location of the Worcestershire rally. Many other foreign . Guides and Scouts were also guests at the rally. Exhibits had becrt pre pared of our respective coun tries. Folk dancing and skits on the theme oi r amous Women," comprised the main segments of the program. - The highlight, however, was an address by Lady Baden-Powell, the world chief: guide. It was she who start ed the Guide movement in Great Britain 50 years ago. I had tlie honor of meeting her personally. In our conver sation I learned that, although the goals of Guides and Scouts throughout the world are the same, the methods of achiev ing these goals differ. Lady Baden-Powell expressed the wish that, through visits and exchanges such as the one this year, the methods can be more unified. I hope that my experiences in England this summer, and through the impressions and information that I bring back, I can 'do my part to help achieve .this end,- Social operating in.

The visitor said that once, some years ago, a teller in a Medford bank hesitated about cashing a check on a New Mexico bank and had to be convinced that the paper could be handlcdtlike a check from any other state. Mrs. Davis is a teacher, like her Medford sister, and said that she began a one-woman campaign to inform the public about New Mexico, beginning with people in that state. She said many of the public school teachers, both natives and imports, weren't adequately informed about the state, and that she had worked out a course "What is New Mexico to help correct this deficiency. It is being incorpor ated in the course of study in Albuquerque schools. Mrs. Fred Strang had a story, too, although not about New Mexico.
