(NOT FIRE) i Enthusiastic Crowd Listens to Concert Grants Pass '-The first community concert of the sea son was received enthusiasti cally on a double count Mon day night, Nov. 7 in Grants Pass. Enthusiasm was aroused by the performance of the So cieta Corclli, a 13 musician group, with Sivano Zuccarinl as cellist soloist. It appeared that the very responsive audi ence felt that the group more than lived up to their advance reputation for "taking old Italian music and giving it the life glow of renewal and re birth." The second reason for en thusiasm was the location of the concert. As a departure from the usual custom of hold ing the concerts in the Me morial gymnasium, this one took place in the new pavilion at the Josephine county fair grounds. Papers, soliciting audience reaction to the new location, were given to each member attending the concert, with a request to answer vari ous questions pertaining to acoustics, general facilities, and the like. Unofficial tallies Indicate an overwhelmingly favorable reaction and the concert board will announce at a future date where the three remaining concerts scheduled for this season will be held. It was estimated that an audience of between 600 and 700 people were in attendance at this first concert.

Watkin Here's Why The Trembling Aspen Trembles It is doubtful if any tree na tive to the North American continent has a wider range than the so-called "quaking or trembling aspen. About the only section where it is not common is a relatively small section of the extreme southeastern U.S. It is even common as far north as Alaska and south into Mex ico. In many sections of its wide range it is locally called "poplar." Once the tree is Identified, it is readily apparent why the descriptive words "trembling" and "quaking" are always part of the name of this tree. The aspen grows into a tree of considerable height, with whitish, or yellowish, smooth bark. In the older trees the bark often becomes coarse, and a deep olive-brown in color. The leaves are nearly round with finely-toothed margins; they become highly colorful in the fall. The newly develop ing buds during' the winter look as if they had received a coat of varnish, and to the touch are smooth and hard. Wide Range The aspen is considered to be a transcontinental species of plant because of its wide range, and in its range it will grow in every type of soil ex cept that found in swamps. In the early spring the buds de velop into long, slender cat kins. The seeds are covered with down by means of which they are carried great dis tances by the wind; which, of course, helps to explain its wide distribution. After a forest fire has rav ished the landscape, the aspen is about the first tree to estab lish itself on the burned-over land. In the forest community, to which it is an important member, the aspen can be said to be a pioneer; ready always to venture into new fields and help to re-establish the for ests. Never Still Literature is rich in refer ence to the trembling habit of the tree. The restlessness of the aspen's leaves is ever constant; they are never whol ly still. So much do they quiv er, tremble, shake and vibrate It's, later than you think . . . Order NOWName Imprinted, Christmas Cards Largest Selection To Choose From On the Balcony at . . .

He receiv ed a one-year suspended sen tence. v that the name "trembling" or "quaking" becomes almost synonymous with constant mo tion. Even the faint airstream from a butterfly's wings will set the leaves of the aspen tree all-aflutter. Apparently Nature intended the aspen leaves to tremble for each individual leaf is very thin, with a broad blade set at right angles to the flat tened petiole. The wind changes the position of the blade, twisting it slightly, thus causing the constant trembling of the leaf. The leaves of the quaking aspen are very like giggling school girls 'sharing secrets among themselves for the leaves twitter, giggle, and whisper sweet nothings to one another. Their excuse? Just the faint breeze that blows.
