S A Winners Are Announced In Festival Art Show Ashland Historians and poet have expressed them selves and their opinions of Shakespeare and hit works and now it is the turn of modern American artists to do the same. The results are interesting and in some cases startling if one is to judge by the exhibit now on display in the Ashland Art gallery workshop, 31 Water street. From all parts of the na tion came entries for the summertime show. Oils, sculpture and prints play upon the varied themes of Shake spcarean production with amazing and amusing originality. The show, which opened last week and will continue through the Festival season, was Judged by Angus Bowmer, producer-director of the Ashland Shakespearean Festival, Robert Bosworth, Medford artist, and Robert Onstad, gallery owner. Prizes were awarded in the painting division to Warren Brandon, San Francisco, first prize of $100 for his oil en titled "Ail the World's a Stage" from "As You Like It." Medford artist Katherine Larson received the $50 sec ond prize for her brilliant oil "English Landscape," while Fran Middleton, also from Medford, was awarded $29 for a watercoior, "Cave of Caliban" from "The Tem pest" and Joan Miller LI ri sky, San Franciaco, received a like award for her oil painting "Blow Winds" from "King Liar."

"Desde mona" from "Othello." A preview of the Shake spearean art exhibit was held Calendar Wednesday! 12 noon - Central Point Garden club, home of Mrs. Eugene Orr, 3658 Old Military road. Earlier vnis year we read two article In national pub lications concerning the cost of traveling in the United States, particularly for foreigners, with both accenting the fact that those from abroad were being misled as to the cost of touring this country. One was the report of an English couple who had used a "camper" and had stopped in campgrounds; the other was an article concerning the official efforts of the U.S. to encourage foreigners to travel in this country. The English couple, making a detailed report, found thai they could not travel for the sum they had been Instructed to budget and were forced to wire home for additional funds. The second article quoted advertisements and Information sent to England and other European countries urging resi dents to travel this summer In the United States and giving $8 per day per person as a figure to be budgeted. Frankly, Potpourri and Pappy, Just home from a motor trip, think this is a most unrealistic figure. The two of u consider our selves as being "budget minded." We do not patronize the more expensive and luxurious motels, we usually eat break fast and dinner at small cafes, taking them preity much a the come, and lunch lightly on cheese, fruit, etc., along the road or at campgrounds. And we cannot travel for $1(1 a day Pappy, who wrole our expenditures down day by day, totaled up the figures this morning. The Doll, a little English sports car, traveled 3,400 miles and gasoline cost $44 01 Meals and groceries cost $33.47 for seven days; we spent $37.85 on motels and park collages and fees, booklets, etc , came lo $4.58. This tolals $139.71 for the wcckJusl about $20 per day. We don't claim that others may not be able lo travel more cheaply, particularly if they camp ovit or patronize the lean expensive motels or hotels. But we're absolutely sure thai most lourlsls are spending more than $10 per person per rlHy. Accommodations t luxury resorts would be (ar more expensive than this and of course, plane tours would be many times this figure. If this country wishes to encouraue travelers from other nations, we believe those prospective visitors should not be mlsicd. If touring In this country Is possible for $8 per day per person, we'd be Interested In seeing the facts nd figures. The two of us fancied that food was some what higher than a jear or two ago, but If so, not much higher. Two items of food always seem more expensive than tuoy should be and that is trull and Juices. Smail glasses of fruit and vegetable Juices are often priced at 15 cents, and 20 and 25 for the large glasses. In one restaurant, the menu listed small glasses at 25 cents and large glasses at 35 with the exception of prune Juice, which was 35 and 50 rents Why in the world a glass of prune Juice should he so ex pensive baffles this writer. Fresh fruit is always expensive, and sometimes unavail able In cafes. We long ago adopted the habit of buying fruit at stores and stands and carrying ll with us. This Is a common practice of touring Americans, and one of the funniest of our vacation sights was of travelers eating fruit. It was about 8:30 o'clock on a cnolish Nevada morning when we passed a roadside picnic area Four adults and several children were having breakfast and each and everyone was munching shufe hunk of watermelon.

Women's News Social Events 'Gallery-Vanting Said New Pastime By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - lUfli - The new est way to spend leisure time is to go "gallery-vanting." tf '"ism Museums and art galleries report atlend a n c e on a steady in crease. The Metropolit a n Museum, for instance, said last year it had 5,088,764 visit ors. an all-lime high and more than double the attendance of a decade ago. To one woman shaping an unusual career in the art world, this "galloping en thusiasm" as she calls it is caused by a variety of factors. Said Barbara Rex, "Some gallcry-vantcrs are there be cause this is the thing to do. Others have a sincere desire to see and enjoy and learn more about art.

Miss Rex, a tall, striking brunette in her 30's, is an in dependent art lecturer and be lieves she is unique in the country. She runs private group tours to galleries and muse ums. Each of the groups has a regular schedule of as many as 20 lectures during the course of a "school year," which begins in the fall. All Female Tcurs So far, her adult tours have been all female. "That is be cause the lectures are held in the day when the galleries are open," she said. "Then men are off making a living." But with Increasing num bers of galleries open at nights, she hopes to include men In the tours by fall. The art lecturer limits to 10 the number on gallery tours; but because the muse ums have more space, she can take as many as 20 on these tours. The tours include dis cussion of the history of art, its various schools, visits to famous canvases, and also ex ploration of the works of new painters. "The way to gelthe most oul of a painting is lo look at it," she said. "Reading may give you a background, but in the end you must see again I and again ... it is incredible how the eye develops." But her students are not ignorant about art; most of them already are knowledge able, many have worked on museum committees, and sev eral are collectors. Hard lo Keep Up Miss Rex hit on her idea simply because of the num ber of galleries In New York alone, "more than 400," she said in an Interview. "It is impossible for someone really interested in art to visit them all. Someone has to do some screening. " She pints the galleries of interest by reading art maga zines and reviews of exhibit openings, and visiting exhibits where she frequently can talk lo the artists. Even so, she said, "keeping up is murder." Miss Rex, a native of Chest nut Hill, Pa., received an AB degree in art from Whcston college, Norton, Mass. To enjoy gallery - going. Miss Rex suggoslod the ob server take along an open mind, "no preconceived no linn of what a painting should give you," she said. "See if you can tell what the artist wanted to do. "If you Judge arl only by whether It pleases you. it means the painter is subioct tn whal you're looking for. The artists is an adventurer . . . the spectator has to catch up " Master Point Play Announced White City - Camp While Veterans Bridge club will con duct master point play Fri day. August 3.

OREGON 0F f, dren's bureau, said recently. Preliminary estimates for 1961 show that adoption pe titions were granted for 113, 000 children, as compared with 107,000 for 196 "How ever, we are receiving a mounting number of reports from adoption agencies in various parts of the country that are seeing a decline in t h e number of applications from couples wishing to adopt children. It no longer is true that the ratio of cou ples wanting to adopt healthy white infants is 10 to every infant available. We don't know yet what the approxi mate ratio now is," Mrs. Oettinger said. Placement Difficulty "There is no present indi cation that the number of adoptions will decline this year, but il is probably true that social agencies will have greater difficulty in finding homes for the so-called hard to place children-older chil dren and those of minority groups," she said. On the positive side, the decline in adoptive applicants will mean shorter waiting pe riods for parents who want to adopt children. So far as the children are concerned, however, a decline in adop tive applicants quite prob ably may mean more and more "permanent" foster care for many children, rath er than a home with adop tive parents. "What we are s-eeing now," Mrs. Oetlinger said, is prin cipally the backwash from the 1930's, when the lowered birth rate produced a decline in the number of adoptive parents we could have other wise expected in the sixties. There is also no doubt that improved medical knowledge and treatment are reducing infertility among couples who, in other years, would have been anxious to adopt children. Homes Reduced "These trends, coupled with the Increase in early marriages, is reducing the potential reservoir of homes for children," Mrs. Oettinger said. "I think il is important for every social agency licensed or authorized to place chil dren for adoption to re-ex-amine its practices now, to ensure that children are not kept out of adoptive homes because of rigid policies which ought to go by the board. In particular. I think social agencies ought to be willing, within reasonable limits, to relax the age re quirements for adoptive par ents to the degree that such relaxation will not hinder the child's chance to grow up in a total familv setting. 1 Many agencies already have abandoned rigid requirements i in this regard." Mi t ' 1 First Lady Influences Fall Design i The First Lady continues a I major influence on U.S. de- j signers. The coats she wore on her trip to India and Pakis tan in the spring now are copied throughout the fall and winter collections. These are called the rajah. For a good idea of how they look, dig out a picture of the single- breasted, tuntc-hke garment worn by India's Prime Min ister Nehru. Variations are collarless and cut double- breasted. Sleeves are coming down for fall. Almost every major New York manufacturer showed suit and coat sleeves to the wristbone. Still in, how ever, the sleeveless wool dress or blouse beneath. Fashion manufacturers are back on the gold standard. Gold lame for evening has a while new revival. Most un expected color combination: gold lame formal with jacket, lined with mauve pink moire. Numerous are the loan-tailoring touches .n the fall and winter clothes. These show in suit jackets with button addi tions to the sleeves, in trouser pleats in skirts, in seaming to give a trouser crease effect, and in the men's suit fabrics showing in women's apparel. The number of clothing manufacturers catering to the small woman - the five feet four inches and under - grows steadily on Seventh avenue, heart of the nation's garment center. Numerous firms an nounced addition of petites to their regular size collec tions for fall. The polo coat is a never- say-die fashion. Several New York manufacturers included it in their fall collections. Its silhouette' deep, notched lapel collar turned up at the neck, deep inverted pleat at the center back and wide fabric belt sashing its full lines. Texan Wheels Barbecue Food by Truck Fort Worth, Tex. -OJPll- There's nothing that Walter Jetton likes t'1 do more than watch people eat.

The princess, sister of Mrs. John F. Kennedy, said yesterday that she was "tired . . . of all this Givenchy busi ness." The "business" refers to the fact thai Designer Hu bert de Givenchy had barred her from attending his buyers' fall and winter show this week. The Princess, who has been covering the Paris fash ion shows for McCall's maga zine, was a member of the press, but informed sources said de Givenchy was annoy ed because she had quit buy ing his creations.

An airline paid him $5,000 tn make the 4,000 mile round trip to stage a Texas-style barbecue for 110 aviation writers. "Boy, they just sopped it up," Jetton recalls. A portly 55-year-old former butcher, Jetton caters regu larly for Vice President Lyn don B. Johnson at the LBJ ranch near Austin. A recent outdoor barbecue there en tertained President Moham med Ayub Khan of Pakistan, whose name Jetton added to a long list of diplomats, movie stars and celebrities he has served. 70 Cooks Jetton employs 70 cooks and waitn sscs. outfits them in Western - style clothing. and takes his own help, food j and accessories wherever he goes. Large barbecues usually cost S3-S4 a plalc, and Jetton offers such trimmings as tin cups and checked tablecloths for atmosphere. At big outdoor feeds, his men barbecue beef and pork over pits if the customers de sire. If a dinner is lo he held indoors at a large autitorium where there arc no cooking facilities.
