10 TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. College Students Present Christmas Ves Ashland -A capacity audi ence ol more than 600 persons filled the ballroom ol Britt Student center Sunday after noon to hear the annual Christmas Vespers concert presented by the Southern Oregon choir under the direc tion of Oscar C. Bjorlie. The choir was assisted this year for the first time by the Cham ber Ensemble, directed by Au drey Bartlett. The Ensemble, composed of six violins, one viola, and two cellos, opened the program with four Renaissance dances and a group of traditional carols. The group played wilh excellent Intonation and tone quality and displayed a vita lized, energetic style that was refreshing to the listener. The choir entered singing its traditional processional "O Come, O Come, Immanuel" and followed with four selec tions including Bach's "Break Forth, O Beauteou3 Heavenly Light," Jungst's "While Shep herds Watched Their Flocks," which employed the delight ful effect of an echo chorus stationed in the rear of the room; "Follow That Star" by Royal Wedding Soon; Said Marriage (Editor's note: When on September 16 a formal an nouncement disclosed that Baudouln, the young king of the Belgians, would marry Dona Fabiola de Mora y Are eon, all followers of roya doings were surprised. All asked, who is Dona Fabiola? The following two dispatches provide a closcup of the ser ious-minded young woman who on December 115 will be come Queen of the Belgians), By CHINA ALTMAN United Press International The Spanish girl who on December 15 will become Queen of the Belgians lived 32 years without having a serious beau so far as is known. Her first suitor was King Baudouin, the most eligible and one of the wealthiest mon archs in Europe. When Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon met Baudouin she was a shy, gentle girl who never wore makeup, would not appear in a bathing suit and wore dresses at least 10 years too old for herself. Today she Is still the same girl, with the addition of a oft pink lipstick. And December 15 she will marry her first love, the king, in a ceremony of Old World splendor and the New World glitter of. thousands of flash bulbs and the television flood lights. The mothers of socialites and princesses throughout Eu rope have been shaking their heads ever since the engage ment was announced Septem ber 16. How did she do it? At tongue-wagging sessions over the teacups they have asked "Why did Baudouin choose her? She is not a fashion plate. She is older than he Is (at 32, by two years.) She is self - conscious and inhibited." The key to the riddle seems obvious. The girl Baudouin selected to be his wife and queen of his people is - in temperament and attitudes - almost a car bon copy of the king himself. Both are shy, devoutly re ligious, serious - minded, and unspectacular in appearance, speech or manner. Both have a deep sense of duty. On the less serious side both are fond of driving sports cars, swimming and playing tennis. If these are not reasons MATERNITY FASHIONS Dresses Skirts Tops Pedal Pushers Capri Pants Dressy Separates IT'S A WONDERFUL STORE pers Program Davenport; and Pergolesi's lovely "Glory To God in the Highest." The middle section of the program was made up of se lections by a sextet, the Mad rigal Group, and a quartet. The concert was concluded by another group of choir se lections. The high point of this group was the "Negro Bell Carol" by James, which featured the lovely mezzo so prano voice of Lynn Ferrell, a freshman from Klamath Falls. Following the final selec tion, the choir led the audi ence out of doors for the an nual ceremony of the light ing of the Wayne Wells tree Following a few words from Dr. Arthur Taylor, the lights on the tree were turned jn and everyone sang "Silent Night." It was a most enjoyable afternoon, proving once again the effectiveness of this tra ditional program and the well-deserved reputation for fine singing enjoyed by the Southern Oregon College choir.-H.C. of Love enough for the mamas meet ing over their teacups, they can consider this - Baudouin found in Fabiola qualities which were not often appar ent in the princesses and heir esses he had been meeting since he became monarch eight years ago. These were an overwhelm ing goodness and gentleness. Also, as one of the king's aides said, "The girl has char acter." There have been several differing accounts about how the king met Fabiola for the I first time. But Baudouin, in a decision that seems surprising ly romantic in such a down-to-earth person, has said the now " is a secret he will keep for his children. Suffice it to say, they met. There is no doubt they fell in love. In Brussels a spokesman for the royal family said firm ly that it will be a marriage of love.

It was held Saturday at the Red Cross building. As a member of the interim committee on judicial revision and of the Oregon Bar asso ciation committee on judicial revision, Mr. Van Dyke spoke with authority on the prob lems of the administration of justice. The first major re vision of the section of the state constitution dealing with judicial matters occurred in 1910, he said, and this re vision consolidated the earlier provisions for the adminis tration of justice into more concise and workable form. In the main, this revision forms the basis for our present judicial system, according to Mr. Van Dyke. In 1957, the legislature appointed an in terim committee to study the courts throughout the state and suggest possible changes. Material Reviewed Mr. Van Dyke reviewed the committee's recommendations giving much interesting back ground material relating to the need for changes in va rious areas. "The committee was very much gratified," Mr. ,Van Dyke reported, "that the legislature adopted most of its recommendations. The pro vision for temporary appoint ments of judges to the su preme court and to the circuit courts greatly facilitated the handling of cases. The su preme court, in particular, has made great progress in catch-, ing up with a large back-log of cases." Mr. Van Dyke explained that the committee's sugges tions in regard to the appoint ment of judges had not been adopted by the legislature. The committee is still hope ful," he said, of arriving at a method of appointment agreeable both lo the legisla ture and to the great number of lawyers interested in im proving the situation in re gard to judicial appoint ments. Mr. Van Dyke stressed the importance of a strong court system. He mentioned the pre amble to the Oregon Consti tution which states as its first purpose (providing a Consti tution) "to the end that justice be established." Mr. Van Dyke concluded his talk with a quo tation from Woodrow Wilson. So far as the individual is concerned, a constitutional government is as good as its courts; no better, no worse. 11 keeps its promises or docs not keep them in its courts." Saturday's meeting cli maxed a month's intensive study by League members of revision of Oregons judicial system. During the next few days, Jackson county legis lators will be approached by the Medford League of Women Voters as part of the league's continuing effort to obtain re- a droit original.... elegance lo your handbag. special Revision vision of the Oregon Consli- tulion. Mrs. Robert Hiatt, con stitutional revision chairman, and Mrs. Don Bohnert will conduct the interviews. Oregon voters have given the legislature the authority to revise the stale constitu tion in whole or in part. In making personal calls on their legislators, members of local leagues are acquainting their representatives with the or ganization's long-standing in terest and research in consti tutional revision. These inter views are intended to stimu late the legislators' interest in reviewing the constitution as a whole, retaining what is good, making necessary changes, and drafting the whole into a concise and co herent document, it is said.
