MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY. AUGUST 12. 1963 A 5 Automats Replace Cafeterias Kansas City. Mo. - (UH; The coin-in-the-slot food ma. chine already has replaced w the soiip ladle and the steam ' table in hundreds of college cazeterias. Now it is moving Into high schools - impelled by the al most universal problems of loo many pupils and too little of everything else, particular- , ly money and space. Officials of the unified school system at Glendora, Calif., recently installed 28 vending machines in a high school snack bar. The move permitted them to shut down two cafeterias. They prompt ly turned the space into class rooms. Dr. Del Walker, superin : dent, who expects his school population to triple in the next decade, said the trans formation saved the school system 25 to 30 hours of labor daily in the snackbar, where . nine serving windows former ly were operated during rush hours. Reduced Cost Albert S. Prentice, business services manager for the Glendora schools, said the system is "serving more chil dren, at a reduced cost, while keeping our labor and space at a minimum. Holland, Mich., does it dif ferently. There, superintendent Wal ter Scott, known nationally for his espousement of prog ress in education, built a new high school complex in which food is served exclusively from vending machines. Scott estimated the initial cost saving at $102,000 - $50, 000 on kitchen equipment he did not have to buy; $57,000 in construction costs for space to house a kitchen. Catering Company Holland vending machines are supplied through an out side catering company, and the supplier also keeps the machines in repair. In the Washington, D.C. area, LaReine Senior High school built a new plant in I960, with a kitchen and dining room of its own - but does not use the kitchen. Sister Mary Gerald, princi pal and supervisor of the high school, said the food service has become a profit-making venture for the school, instead of an expense and a liability from the standpoint of per sonnel and administra t i v e problems. At LaReine, as in other school installations, a wide variety of hot and cold foods is offered at reasonable prices. The menu includes hamburg ers, 20 cents; fish, 30 cents; hot dogs, 15 cents; soup, 15 cents; and a casserole of tuna and noodles, 30 cents. From LaReine, the vending machine operation spread to several other parochial high schools and to at least one public high school in the area. Glendora officials said at least four nearby school sys tems have made a thorough study of the Glendora oper ations and plan to duplicate it. A spokesman for a vending machine manufacturer said inquiries from school admin istrators indicated a surge of change-overs was in the making. Cost savings in new school construction apparently is the biggest single motivation. Some studies indicate savings in initial construction costs run as much as $100 per student. Britt Festival Opening Is Called 'Most Satisfactory' By DR. HERBERT CECIL Head of Music Department Southern Oregon College Sunday afternoon saw the opening of the first Peter Britt Gardens Music and Arts Festival with a concert by the Festival orchestra under the direction of John Trudeau. As in all things new, there were a few "bugs" to be worked out (something will have to be done about keep ing the bright sunlight out of the eyes of the violin sec tion), but the overall level of achievement was most sat isfactory. Before the official opening of the concert and before the conductor ascended the podi um, a "Fanfare for Brass" was played. The program in formed us that this selection especially for this occasion by Ernie Hood, formerly of Medford and now of Portland, who was present for the open ing. The fanfare was followed by the introduction of Mr. Tru deau who proceeded imme diately into the program by presenting his trumpet solo ist, James Smith, in a per formance of Ernest Bloch's Proclamation for Trumnpt and Orchestra." This selection was undoubtedly chosen to open the festival because Er nest Bloch, who was one of the 20th century's leading composers, spent the last years of his life in Oregon. As the title would suggest, the "Proclamation" is some what in the manner of a fan fare and employs the solo trumpet in fanfare style. Mr. Smith is a superb performer and he executed the solo part in a brilliant manner. Bloch employed a certain amount of dissonance in his harmon ic structure, as do most 20th century composers, but he never overpowers the listener with it and "Proclamation" is no exception. We though it was well-done and an excel lent start for the festival.

Every musical logic seems to demand it, but art does not always pro gress in logical ways. Maybe Mozart just did not have ac cess to a good flutist. The so loists Sunday were Peter Christ, oboe; David Atkins, clarinet; Gordon Solie, bas soon; and Russell White, French horn. They all played beautifully. Apparently the solo chairs in the Festival orchestra are all occupied by very capable performers. The high point of Sunday's concert was reached for this reviewer in the performance following the intermission of Peter Mcnnin's "Fantasia For Strings." Mennin is an out standing American composer of the present time who has written a large amount of mu sic for various media and is only recently being recogniz ed for his really prodigious talent. The "Fantasia" is in two parts, "Canzona" and "Toc cata;" the first movement, as its title would suggest, is in song style in a polyphonic texture suggestive of the 16th and 17th centuries. "Toccata" is a term which originally mcnt "touch - piece" and was used for very rapid, brilliant works by composers of the 18th centurv incliiriliii; the great Bach. Menin's use fol lows this precedent and his "Toccata" is brilliant. The strings of the Festival orches tra performed it very well indeed. Concluding Selection The program was conclud ed with a suite of selections from Handel's "Water Music" as arranged by Harty. There are five movements in this suite and they follow the out lines of the Baroque dance suite with such titles as Al legro, Air, Bouree, Horn-Pipe, Andante, and Allegro Deciso. The suite was performed in very good style. We would like to congrat ulate Mr. Trudeau for a most auspicious opening for this first Festival. There are im perfections, of course, in ad dition to the sunlight in the violinists' eyes. The acoustics will be improved when a roof is built over the pavilion: the ensemble playing will im prove when the orchestra has played together just a little bit more; perhaps some pro- gram notes would improve the understanding of the au dience of some of the less familiar works. These are minor points and they are more than balanced by the better things that were evi denced. This reviewer likes the fact that we are hearing some con temporary music. There is a lot of fine music that has been composed in the century and Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate. '.MS) Setting Hen Mutt Guard Her Eggs With Her Lilt There's more than a shred of truth to the old saying nervous as a setting hen." She has every reason in the world for being skittish, for much depends on what hap pens in the three weeks she will have to "keep her chest on the pulse of things." Twen ty-one days is a lot of setting lime. Egg setting requires a faithful dedication to duty with no time off for Sundays or holidays. And she has to accomplish the job all by her self. It's a steady, uphill grind She must be a trusting soul and all she can do is hope, for she has put all her eggs in one nest and eggs are hard and unyielding objects on her soft undersides. Once she starts to set, nothing will change her from her course. She may even be fooled into setting on eggs not her own, thereby becom ing at best, a second-hand mother.

She doesn't know whv hut hp knows she has to. She may even appreciate the folly of "counting her chickens he. fore they are hatched" and wind up, after three weeks of work, childless and discouraged.

A Broody Hen She can't be "chicken hearted" otherwise she would abandon her nest at the scary things that happen during the long nights. Little wonder she is called "a broody hen." There's little else for her to do during the long vigil but brood. It's an uphill three weeks and about all she can do Is practice her cluck so that she can control the chicks when they come. She has every right to be skittish and high strung. She isn't even given credit for her accomplishment, even if she wins. Her owner may think a mechanical hen. rallpH an in. cubator that has neither feath ers nor a cluck, could have done it better. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Dale Eenor Schoettle, improper left turn.
