Talent Woman Returns Home Talent-Mrs. Roseoe Owens returned yesterday from Seal Beach, Calif., where she and her daughter, Cynthia, have been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cook and Laurie. Mrs. Cook is the former Sandra Owens, and Mr. Cook is the son of Mr. and Mrs John M. Cook, Camp Baker Road. Miss Owens will remain in Seal Beach for the summer. Music and drama festivals are the vogue all over North America and Europe, and southern Oregon Is not being left behind. The well-established Oregon Shakespearean festival in Ashland is being Joined this summer by the Peter Britt Gardens Music and Arts festival (we hope this somewhat cumbersome name will not be eventually reduced to the PBGMAF like so muny other titles have been by the always-in-a-hurry Amcricuns) to be given in Jacksonville In August. The Idea, spawned in the bruin of Sam McKinncy, Port- and, has met with mixed favor in Jacksonville, it must be admitted. This reaction is probably typical, however. Muny residents of Ashland thought Angus Bowmer and his co horts were foolish indeed when they sturtcd the Shake spearean festival, and just see what happened! Potpourri learned a bit more about the Peter Britt fes tival Sunday morning from a group gathered in the living room of that delightful little old building in Jacksonville which Robby Collins hus mudc into his home. Robby en joys having friends in on Sunday and the friends enjoy going, one might add. Lewis and Guil Tyccr Mrs. Tyccr is the formdr Gull Gutter who have undertaken the task of publicizing the new venture, were In tho group. The con versation indicuted thul the new festival has its problems, as do most new, civic projects, but the board, headed by Bert Prec, Is confident thai everything will be In readiness by the opening date, August 11. We'll be interested to read Director John Truclcau s list of musicians we understand that the orchestra will number some 30 or 35 players. The' backers of the Jacksonville festival are not the only planners with ideas, cither. For the past three or four years several musicians and music patrons in McdEord have been Incubating the Idea of a summer schedule of light opera and theater. The board of tho Philharmonic, society which has been producing Gilbert and Sullivan and similar light opera during tho winter season, has a considerable backlog of talent, scores, costumes and props which could be put to excellent use lor such a venture. The Idea was given considerable impetus with the visit here this spring of Willium Cottrcll. He was one of the early Shukcsucurcun actors, did a stint in Hollywood and In recent years has played and directed In New York City and In summer theater in the east. Bill Cottrell Is here a part of every year to be with his mother, and while he was last In the city, spent considerable time with Richard Werner and others of the Philharmonic talking over the summer theater idea. Ho is now on the roud with Ustinov's play, "Romanoff and Juliet" but plans to return in lute summer. He hopes to open a school of acting possibly in Jacksonville studio. He is enthusiastic about the summer opera idea, and believes that it would complement the Shakespearean and Jacksonville festivals. The men hope that the first season can be launched In H)b4. Others in on the planning are Ralph Matlack. who likes to design and make scenery for such productions, Eugene Bennett, who would advise on artistic mutters; Ray Lewis, who has directed chorus and school operettas in Mcdford for several years. Mr. Werner would be music director. Planning for the usual coming fall and winter Philhar monic season is already underway. "Pinafore" is to be pro duced in lute October, perhaps the 2Hth and 20th, with Tresa Matlack singing Josephine, Everett Winter as Rate, Maynard Hadley as the Captain, Lee Harlow as Sir Joseph and Sue Doe of Grants Puss as Buttercup. In mid-January Victor Herbert's "Fortune Teller" is scheduled with Sylvia DeVoss, Mrs. line, Dr. Harlow and Maynard Hadley of the vulley in the cast. George Peckhum will probably come down from Seattle for this operetta. Next March, probably the 7th and 8th, Humperdlnek's Hansel and Gretcl" will be given as a treat for children of the area. If both the Jacksonville outdoor music festival and the Mcdford light opera and summer theater program can hr successfully staged and why not'.' the Rogue vulley could offer an outstanding puckage of music and theater in Ash land, Mcdford and Jacksonville. Man Spending Millions Advises 'Shop Around7 If BY GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPI) - The shop ping list Howard Powell fills cost :nillions annually. But this expert on purchasing on a large scale believes one rule for shav ing costs ap ples to the housewife a I well as to his o r ganization, "Keep shop ping around- keep looking for new sourc e s." said Powell, who buys sewing ma chines by the hundreds, can ning jars by the thousands. Don't let the retailer figure he has your patronage "sewed up, he said. Powell is deputy assistant executive director for procure ment for CARE, the U.S. or ganization helping the needy of 39 countries. The CARE program includ es food and clothing donations -he supervises CARE'S pur chase of 125 million pounds of food a year; the self-help projects in which everything from school kits to plows are donated to help nations to ward self - sufficiency; and Medico, the medical arm in operation with CARE since March 1962. The overall bill for this is between $2.5 mil lion and $3 million annually. Gives Away Surplas In addition, Powell's de partment acts as "delivery boy" for one billion pounds of food surplus donated to needy nations by tho U.S. govern ment each year. , Powell valued these foods at $40 million, and said they were distributed on basis of what a country requests. His organization has a mission on the scene in each country it serves. "Tho bulk of the food sur plus goes to large programs, most of them school feeding projects," said Powell. He es timated that 18 million school children are benefiting from the foods program. Powell has one money-sav ing advantage the average homemukcr does not have he buys wholesale and below. And many companies just give. He recalled in an inter view that he was negotiating for purchase of between 100,- 000 and 150,000 pounds of shortening, , i Powell said that when' he haggled with the maker over the cost-that he could get It cheaper elsewhere - the com pany representative said, "Oh, the heck with it, I'll give It to you." Most of the organization's food purchases are through competitive bid, however. But such items as water pumps to help a country establish an irrigation system are nego tiated because there are tech. nical requirements to be met. Big Buyer . Powell figures .that he has supervised purchase of close to 25,000 plows and nearly 56,000 agricultural tool kits for farm schools, farm groups, rural youth clubs; close to 500,000 jars for farm women's canning and preserving; 7,500 sewing machines given to vo cational schools, village work shops, community centers, for training and group use; 77 mobile health units or enough to examine and treat 1,725,000 persons a year; even modern equipment donated to newly trained midwivcs. He once purchased two wa ter buffalo for a flood-ravaged village in South Viet- nam and 7,500 pounds of pep permint seedlings for a refu gee project' in South Korea. He said peppermint had be come one of ooutn Korea s best paying exports.
