Studios Present Year-End Programs

Medford's two dance studios
both have presented the tra
ditional end of the year pro
grams in the past week.
Friday, May 31, the Colleen
Hope studio gave a program
at the Holly theater, and Mon
day night, June 3, Thurston
Dance studio presented pupils
in a revue and ballet program
at Medtord High school aud
itorium. Miss Hope, who (or the last
few years has presented her
pupils with longer training in
a holiday program, concen
trates on the smaller and
younger pupils in the spring
recital. About 200 took part in
the last Friday event which
was themed to street scenes
beginning with early morning,
continuing through the day
and into the evening.
The staging was imaginative
and the many dance numbers
colorfully costumed. One par
ticularly effective number was
based on "The Typewriter
Song" and the girls taking
part were dressed in black
and white and wore fake spec
tacles. Jan Morris and little
Shelley Wainscolt earned
warm applause for an acro
batic number and a Jazz num
ber was well danced by Sid
Yarnell, Cecelia Kee and
Paulette Kime.
Continuity of the numbers
was aided by the device of a
boy dressed as a traffic cop
who kept coming on stage to
hand out traffic tickets to
drivers of stage autos.
Lighting and music are two
main problems of these ama
teur performances and in the
case of tne Hope program
failure of the special "black
lights" lessened the effective
ness of the fluorescent cos
tuming. The black light
worked for the first number
or two, and then went out for
the end of the program when
the effect of night-time was to
have been achieved
Thurston Studio
The program given by the
Thurston studio Monday eve
ning opened with variety and
popular numbers featuring
the smaller youngsters cos-
turned as birds, poodles, kit
tens, etc. Part 11 continued
Into an acrobatic number, one
called "Beatniks" and a tra
ditional Charleston routine
among others.
Shrubs, Native Plants
Ashland Show Attraction
Ashland-A late cool spring
curtailed some of the flower
exhibits at last week s garden
club show but a greater va
rlety of shrubs and native
plants were on display in the
snacious Lincoln scnool gym-
nasium. The annual standard
judged show with its theme
of "Moytlme" drew a large
attendance of townspeople as
well as visitors.
At first glance spectators
were bewildered by the exten
sive arrangements which on
closer Inspection were found
to fall into classifications
identifiable by cards. Ama
teurs and advanced amateurs,
longtime gardeners and olh
ers with plain "green thumbs"
entered the competition for
ribbon sand recognition.
Only roses were conspicu
ous by their absence. As al
ways it was the regal iris that
dominated the displays. In
specimen containers, in bas
kets and in centerpieces the
lovely flowers claimed atten
tion. Hundreds of varieties
were shown. ?
Mrs. L. G. Centner of Mcd
ford. One of the interesting ex
hibits wiis that of conserva
tion with its publicity aimed
especially at keeping Oregon
green.
Flowering shrubs included
flowering quince, azaleas,
hawthorns, splrea and many
others. In this division Mrs. L,
R. Coder's high bush cran
berry and Mrs. Eldcn Cor-
thell's pink Beauty bush were
top winners along with Mrs.
H. Drew Lamb's apricot flow
ering (ulncc. Annuals and pe
rennials too played an Impor
tant role In the May Garden
division.
Hb Exhibit
Contending tor honors were
peonies and llUei, while many
brilliant tulips added to the
specteculor colorama., A tea-
ture attraction was an exhibit
of the Rogue Valley Herb so
ciety in which this season s
Shakespearean plays were de
pleted on a tabic arranged
by Mrs. R. D. Abel, Medford.
Accompanying each small
potted herb was a Shake
speare quotation In which the
specific plant was named.
Among club entries was a
prize-winning May basket of
pink viburnum and pastel
tree peonies thnt rated a blue
ribbon for (he Central Point
Garden club. T i'st prize for a
May breakfast table went to
the Ashland United Church
Women for a brass bowlful of
yellow tulips. The May Mad
ness class gave opportunity
for many weird arrangements
accompanied by original
verses. Mrs. Gaston Floux,
Central Point, entered an ab
stract confusion of asparBgus
gone wild and Mrs. Arnold
Itohncrt, Central Point
gnarled growth combined
with Iris drawing amused
comment for the two Central
Point arrangements.
Nostalgia
There were many entries In
the Mother's day class, most
of them featuring framed pic
tures, old fashioned heirlooms
and flowers of nostalgic sig
nificance. Mrs. O. V. Poe's lav
enrier Iris and scashclls on
driftwood base was one of
the artistic entries in "May
at the Beach." Others carried
out the show's theme
unique combinations of flow
er and plant designs, making
use of mosses, vines, artistic
and antique containers and
great deal of originality.
Many Frists
Many gardening experts
garnered handsful of prize
ribbons in horticultural en
tries and in the featured iris
division. Among the winners
were several men and in the
Junior division the children's
entries were varied, including
a corsage for mother which
won for Linda Fremd a blue
ribbon. A special ribbon was
awarded to Mrs. Edgar Wile
man of Valley View for a
beautiful entry of exotic cym
bidium orchids. Another spe
cial award was given to a
symbolic Mother's day design
"Lavender and Old Lace" by
Mayilme Theme
Tea was served during the
fternoon and evening hours
by garden club members un

O'Brien Groups
Attend Festival
Cave Junction Traveling
from O'Brien and Cave Junc
tion to the annual Azalea fes-1
tlval at Brookings were Mr.
and Mrs. Victor Hilton and
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Drews
on Saturday, and Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Cooke and Mr. and
Mrs. Ken Mann and family,
Sunday. The azaleas were In
their prime for the festival.
Organ music wa played in
the park and the bagpipe
band, Governor's Guard, from
Eugene was exceptional with
Scottish dances and music.
Square dancers gavj a
show on the platform where
earlier on Sunday, Joint wor
ship services were held. As
many timi-s before the neigh
bors across the mountains in
Curry county put on a full
two days of entertainment
with a generous seafood din
ner on Saturday and a barbe
cued beef dinner Sunday.
Ocean breezes carried tilt
fog away abuut noon on both
days. Spectators reported an
Impressive parade on Satur
day, Displays were made by
mineral, flower and art
groups of the Brooklngs-llar-bor
communities. Nature
played along with the gala
occasion by providing masses
of colorful wild flowers on
Highway 101 and 190 leading
to the site.
Susan Gilford and Sheri
Bethell did a lively version
of the Twist and other num
bers were done by childre
dressed as Indians, French
dolls, etc.
The program ended with
serious presentation of "Beau
ty and the Beast" as a ballet
Susan Gilford was "Beauty
and Bruce Guenther danced
the roles of the beast and
the prince. Sheri Bethell
was the rose queen, Stephanie
f arKinson, Marcia S a m p 1
and Susan Kimball were the
sisters, Buff Pratt was the
father and groups of youn
children were stags, birds,
fireflies and butterflies. Don
nie Williams, costumed as
lowly beetle, crawled slowly
about the stage.
Miss Gifford performed
charmingly as the pretty girl
wno nnos that the beast
really a prince, and she was
well supported by young
Guenther. Miss Gifford, who
is graduating from Medford
High school this ycur. is
well-trained and accomplished
oaucrina who dances with
both strength and grace. She
will leave soon to study with
the ban rrancisco Ballet com
pany this summer and perhapi
decide whether to dedicate
herself to the difficult and de
manding life of a solo dancer.
Mention should also be
made of 13-year-old Sheri
Bethell who performed her
rose queen solo in a creditable
manner.
The Thurstons, M a r g e n e
ana Harold, provided a com
edy note and did a tap routine
at one point. Mrs. Thurston
also had served as choreogra
pher and selected the recorded
music for the ballet. She was
assisted in planning the cos
tumes by Mrs. Alma Williams.
At the close of the program.
the two women were intro
duced and presented flowers
and gifts by the sudenls.
The recorded music was not
always as smooth as it should
have been, and the going and
coming of performers and
their parents (this was also
true at the Hope program)
was a disturbing note. How
ever, since tne audiences at
these events are largely made
up of parents, grandparents
and other relatives and friends
pcrhups this doesn't really
matter.
It might be noted, however.
that these recital renresent
an enormous amount of effort
and work on the part of all
concerned and It would be
pleasant to bo able to watch
worn with lesB disturbance
Perhaps someone can discover
how this can be done with
such large casts of small chll-

Financial Facts
Aid Newlyweds
New York (UPB Newly
weds usually have coins that
Jingle, Jangle plus some
folding money.
Rather than listening to
the joyful sounds of coins
and counting the other cash,
the young marrieds are ad
vised by experts to think
about financial security in
cluding the money they don't
have.
Money, say the economists,
does four jobs. First, it must
provide funds for meeting
day-to-day expenses. Second,
it must provide a reserve
fund of ready cash for emer
gency expenses or minor luxuries.
Third, it should cover an
adequate insurance program
Fourth, it should include an
investment program.
In figuring how much
money you have, remember
that it's not how much you
earn, but how much that you
bring home after all deduc
tions that counts.
After minimum housekeep
ing expenses are met, a sav
ings account usually is the
first step toward financial
peace of mind.
Regular saving is indispen
sable, for it provides cash
that can be reached in a hur
ry. Three months gross in
come is the minimum to keep
on hand in a savings account;
six months income is the
maximum for the earnings
offered.
In buying life insurance,
remember that its function is
to provide security if the
family's major breadwinner
should die or become- incapacitated.
Adequate insurance cover
age should amount to at least
five years of the family's
gross income.

aware, and quite cognizant of
the fact that Europeans'
standards of sizes differ from

who looks at my feet and says
"38 or 39?"

more expensive here, but
telegrams, and long distance
calls are less.
Marketing is different. For
example, the signs on the
front of the little shops tell
you what to expect inside.
Macelleria sells beef and
veal.
Polleria ses chickens and
liver and eggs.
Drogeria sells soaps, clean

However, this picturesque,
quaint (to us) and friendly
way of buying is changing.
The American style super
market is fast taking over.
There are beautiful big mar
kets here, with as many as
12 checkstands where girls
sit (not stand, as at ours) and
haul in lire and make change
so fast it makes one dizzy to
watch. Lines of customers
queue, with their big baskets
as full as those in the states.
At first they had little carts
almost like toys.
I have really seen this
growth of the supermarket.
When I was here four years
ago, there was but one, and
that was in rather a fashion
able shopping district. You
went down stairs, between
flower bordered planters. It
was quite a model market,
white, clean and well ar
ranged, with pretty girls at
the check stands. Only one
thing was wrong there were
no customers. It was in the
wrong place.
When I returned this time
that was gone. And one day
I was in the "Standa" our
equivalent of Woolworth's
and wandered back to dis
cover to my astonishment a
supermarket, as busy as could
be. In fact, it was a mad
house. And I saw something
I never thought to see in
Rome: flippant, rapid han
dling of 10,000 lire notes. I ac
tually saw 'one girl stuff a
paper bag full from a drawer
and toss it down under the
counter, so she coud make
change faster. And a year
ago, it was a major project to
get any place to change one,
or even a 1000 lire note.
Progress!

Grooming Tips
For Gardeners .
Are Listed
New York - ttTD - If you
are a gardener worthy of the
name, you don't worry about
such hazards as broken fin
gerneals, calloused knees,
strawy hair, and freckles
until after you've collected
them.
But none of these penal
ties is necessary if you choose
your working clothes with an
eye to protection.
Before putting on garden
ing gloves, scrape your nails
over a bar of soap. This film
will keep soil from penetrat
ing deep under the nails, and
will wash away along with
the dirt later.
It's more comfortable to
work in gloves that absorb
perspiration while protect
ing the skin from thorns and
bruises.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses prevent glare,
fatigue, headaches, and squint
lines when you must do your
digging and planting in bright
sunlight. A wide brimmed hat
is the best protection for
your complexion. But even,
a kerchief is better than no
headgear at all, as protracted
doses of sun dry up the nat
ural oils in the hair and tend
to bleach it in streaks.
Include some sort of soft
knee pad in your gardening
equipment. Kneeling on rough
ground or rock invites cal
louses and tires leg muscles.
Always top off your gar
dening with a warm sudsy
bath. Scrub skin and nails
thoroughly, using both a body
brush and a nail brush. Whila
a quick shower is refreshing,
it can't be trusted to complete
ly remove all the fine soil
that sifts onto your skin
including your scalp.
Two or even three hair
washings a week are advisa
ble during warm weather
when your head is covered.
After you set your hair,
manicure your nails while
they are clean, soft, and re
sponsive to cuticle care and
shaping. If you consistently
take good grooming as seri
ously as you take gardening,
you'll get satisfying results
from both.
