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.

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.

Eighty-one-year old Lylah Tiffany, who
for 1 years has supported herself by play

Carnegie hall, made her Broadway stage
debut November 30. In "All the Way Home,"

prize-winning novel, "A Death in the Fam
Eighty-Year-Old Actress
Finally Gets 'Big Break'
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - IUPII - The big
break comes to some actresses
overnight. It took 81 years to
get around to Mrs. Lylah Tif
fany. Mis. Tiffany, who has been
in and out of show business
since she was a teenager, for
the last dozen years has been
a street musician outside Car
negie hall where nightly she
pulled up a chair and her ac
cordion and played for what
ever coins passcrsby wished to
give
Then, last October, produc
ers were looking for someone
for the role of a woman of
100-plus years in the play "All
the Way Home." An actress
friend, who Mrs. Tiffany said
was turned down because she
was "too lady-like for the
part," suggested that Mrs.
Tiffany read for the role.
She did, and the producers
hired her on the spot.
Now, the stooped little wo-
can with b r i g n i eyes ana
snowy hair is performing for
the first lime on Broadway
and exercising her "white
magic" to stay there. "White
magic is different from black
magic, she explained in an
interview. "White magic
works for good: black for
evil."
Worries About Others
The play opened to mixed
notices, but a surge in box
office business encouraged the
producers to keep it running
"1 believe my fortune has
changed," said Mrs. Tiffany.
"But I'm not worried about
myself; 1 can always make a
living. I worry about the rest
ot the cast.
"I'll lust go back to my
street coiner," she said. "Why,
New Year's Eve I can make
enough to keep me for two or
three weeks.
"Now don't you say I beg,"
the actress instructed. "I play
well . . . people enjoy my mu
sic. You know, sometimes
members of the New York
Philharmonic (Carnegie Hall
is its "home") bring me sand
wiches.
"Someone said that I lean
ed over with my head on the
accordion just to get sym
pathy. I don't. It's because sit
ting so long, 1 get a back ache
and leaning rests me."
Unicycle and Chihuahua
Mrs. Tiffany was born In
Columbus. Ohio. In 1879. the
daughter of a successful ma
chinery inventor. She said the
family oflcn organized its own
amateur shows and played the
neighboring towns. She wa
the pianisl.
"1 once had a scholarship to
the American Conservatory of
Music in Chicago,' she said
"but I never used it. 1 went
west instead with an all-girl
orchestra.
Her career included jobs in
beauty shops in Mexico City
and Cuba, and touring lii
vaudeville circuit with a pro
fessional bicyclist whom she
wed in 1902, "He taught me
to ride a unicycle with a chi
Illinium on my head." she said
When her husband died, she
came to New York and played
piano and pipe organ in movie
theaters. In 1929 she married
a shoe salesman named Waller
Tiffany; later she took up tea
leaf reading.
m ii iii i I, r &
ily" Mrs. Tiffany plays the role of a 102-year-old
woman. Mrs. Tiffany, whose own
life is story material, landed the role through
the recommendation of an actress friend
who tried out for the part but was rejected
because she was "too ladylike."
UPX Telephoto)
Eventually, she and Tiffany
went their separate ways, but
Mrs. Tiffany kept at her tea
leaf profession until the late
1940s when she look her post
outside Carnegie hall.
Wants Song Published
Her earnings as a street mu
sician were sufficient to keep
her in a room in the Carnegie
studios and to feed her and
her only companion - a two-
year-old Chihuahua named
"Toot." She said the only
member of her family left is
a younger sister in Redlands,
Calif.
Through the years. Lylah
Tiffany has written hundreds
of songs and operettas but said
"None have gotten published.
Seems like every time I'd get
a publisher interested he'd up
and die."
Mrs. Tiffany walks the 26
blocks to and from the theater
each night - "Good for my
legs, she said. "All thai sit
ting. I was losing them. I feel
fine except for a touch of
asthma now and then. 1 want
to stay on earth long enough
to gel one song published,"
she said. "Then I'll be ready
to turn over and die."

Judicial System
Subject of League Talk
Revision of Oregon's judic
ial system was discussed by
Frank Van Dyke, Medford at
torney, at the December gen
eral meeting of Medford
League of Women Voters. 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-

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.
