MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1963 MANOR-ISMS By ETHEIYN EVANS Rogue Manor has estab lished another FIRS T our first one-man art show! Mrs. Irene Fussier Woodcock's creative work was shown to a large and appreciative crowd of Manor and valley friends, including M. N. Hogan, El Presidcnte of the Manor board, and Mrs. Hogan. This was not Mrs. Woodcock's first one-man show. In the More head galleries at the Univer sity of North Carolina, her paintings were hung for a full month, and another show ing was held in Hawaii, where she studied oriental art under the Washington, D.C. Freer Galleries' award win ning artist, Tseng Yu-ho. We were privileged to view and enjoy about 100 lovely pictures hung in the larger apartment to which the Woodcocks are moving very soon. The paintings showed such a surprising versatility, both in subject matter and media water colors, oils, pencil, pen and charcoal sketches and etchings. They were arranged in separate sections, and I lingered long in the oriental room. Mrs. Woodcock held large sales after both the two previous showings, so most of these pictures were quite recently painted. Mrs. Woodcock's versatil ity is exemplified in other ac complishments. She was an official of the North Carolina Slate Dramatc association, she has written plays and has had experience in teaching dramatics and staging and di recting plays. We think all this is one more happy in stance of Manor members be ing able to contribute to the cultural activities of our Valley. , I know I am going "way back-yonder" to mention a rather unusual (to me) party given by Miss Florence Gif ford, well known in Medford, and Mrs. R. H. Henderson. In lieu of often repeated glit tering Christmas decor, the sole theme of this party was carried out in poinsettias. in the table and room decora tions, in food particularly the salads, ice cream and cakes and, also, the prizes were growing poinsettia plants. Announcement that the movie "The Mouse That Roared", with Peter Sellers, will be presented in the Var sity theatre, Ashland, Mon day, February 4, by the Tu dor guild, reminds us that it's time to start thinking about our Shakespeare festival. The Tudor guild is an orga nization of Ashland and Med ford women who work to help (he Festival, particularly the young actors who crowd into Ashland each year. The primary objective is to pro vide money for scholarships. Each year they contribute thousands of dollars for this purpose. Also, they work to help these young people find living quarters; they supple ment the scanty furnishings of some of these places; and they maintain a revolving loan fund to help make it pos sible for them to have the ex perience and training ob tained by working and acting in the plays. In addition, they prepare and serve a big din ner for them, immediately after the casting is complete each year. This is somewhat in the nature of a congratula tory gesture to those who achieved the goal they sought, and condolence for the dis appointed ones. Current officers of the Guild are Mrs. Elliott Mc Cracken, president; Mrs. E. E. Rountree, vice president; Frank Davis (our only man member), treasurer; Mrs. Hugh Simpson and Mrs. Ruth King, recording and corres ponding secretaries, All Ash land residents. Three Manor women are members of the Guild, Mrs. Rease Braley, Mrs. Charles Davis and Mrs. Bob Evans, "yours truly." Following this movie, to be presented for the benefit of the Guild's scholarship fund, all are invited to an after theatre social hour in Caesar hall at the Mark Antony ho tel, Ashland. Manor members who crowded the auditorium Thursday evening thoroughly enjoyed John Day's informal and informative tale of the thrills and perils of high mountain climbing. Small wonder that the National Geographic welcomed 500 pictures he took for them his pictures are remarkable clear, sharp, with a sure touch and an eye for the most striking and beautiful shots. We saw the pictures of his rescue, after a fall had broken a leg. If such a tragic acci dent can happen to three ex perts who carried everything conceivable in the way of mod ern equipment, ordinary mor tals should hesitate about climbing "Roxy Ann." Since I am often subjected to enthusiastic conversations among teenagers about moun tain climbing, I thought an authoritative word about the "high cost of equipment" might have a disillusioning effect, so I asked Mr. Day the estimated cost of necessary equipment for a climb. I never did get the total, but gathered It was considerable. Perhaps Mr. Day should have given me the answer of the late J. Picrpont Morgan when asked the cost of op erating his huge luxury yacht. His reply was: "If you need to ask tho cost of run ning it, don't buy it." Civic Music Agent Here; Spring Drive Announced juie roster, civic music as sociation representative, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the board of di rectors of the Jackson county unit of the organization. He pointed out that planning and booking towns for artists has become a big business. How ever, agents who are arrang ing itineraries for the west coast particularly the north- by Earhart Day Observed Zonta Club The Medford Zonta club observed Amelia Earhart day at a dinner meeting Thursday evening at the Medford hotel. A U.S. Navy film, "Opera tion Sunshine," the story of the nuclear powered subma rine, USS Nautilus, was shown by Chief Edward Haw kins, Navy recruiter. A project of Zonta Interna tional is the awarding of Amelia Earhart scholarships of $2,500 to young women for advanced study in aeronautic sciences. Five scholarships given in 1962 bring Zonta's Earhart grants to 42. This past year's awards in cluded Ying-Chu Lin Wu of Taiwan, the first woman to win California Institute of Technology's aerospace sci ences award. Her scholarship will be used for research in the field of rarified gases in outer space. Also from Tai wan is Wendy Shi Pi, who is working on her doctorate in aeronautical sciences. Barbara ..raupa from Michigan entered University of California at Los Angeles for advanced work in aero nautical engineering, special izing in guidance and control systems; Diane Lemaire of Australia, after a career in experimental aerodynamics. is returning to school to earn her master's degree, and Suz anne Palocz, a native of Hun gary, is working on her doc torate at Polytechnic Insti tute of Brooklyn, where she is concentrating her research on magneto-aerodynamics. Zonta International in sup porting this project to honor the memory of Amelia Ear hart, serves both gifted young women and the advance of aeronautics. Swimsuits for 1963 follow the trend of more coverage. As opposed to the strapless. tightly fitted look of former years, more high necklines wide straps and a generally easier fit predominate.

As an example he pointed out the Gregg Smith singers who appeared here January 20. They would have to trav el several hundred miles to their next date in Canada. Most of the artists concert izing now do not find it to their advantage to appear west of the Mississippi. Mr. Foster considered the decision of the Medford board to change from a fall to a spring membership drive a step in the right direction, in asmuch as Medford may be able to buy its artists before their tours are completely sold out and there are no dates available. He is making a service call to all civic music groups in me northwest area to assist in preliminary planning for the 1963-64 season. Medford's eight dollar fee for adults and four dollar fee for students is a little more than some but considerably less than many associations charge for a yearly member ship, the speaker pointed out. with this money the towns buy four or five concerts each season. The question of the number of concerts is often debated. Some persons would like few er concerts and better known more expensive artists, while others enjoy one or two big names and two or three less er known artists who are just oegmning their musical careers. Mr. Foster stated more Deo- plc are pleased by a greater number of concerts and a wider variety of entertainment. Mrs. Darell Huson. Drosi- dent, announced the SDrine membership drive would be held the middle of May. The date will be announced later. She also invites anyone, es pecially newcomers to the val ley who are interested in cul tural projects, to assist in the drive.

Mrs. Irving Lord, president of the Ashland league, ex plained the reason for a pro gram such as this, saying: Using a report made in 1957 as a basis foi study, League research people found that in general Oregon's in dustry seemed tb profit more than it suffered from foreign trade. At the same lime, though, they found that the lumber and wood products industries seemed to be suffering a good deal, particularly from im ports of Canadian softwood into this country, and to some extent from imports of Japa nese plywood. "Evidence of damage was shown in the number of mills closed between 1951 and 1957 (about half) and in employ ment figures (17 per cent decrease). "They found that while logging and milling showed a marked decrease in employ ment, plywood and pulp prod ucts has shown a marked in crease, but not enough to com pensate and that in spit's of the decrease In employment and the number of mills, overall production has held almost steady.
