We hope that everyone who attended Saturday night's
performance ot the Britt Music festival in Jacksonville en
joyed the evening as much as we did. Somehow, it was one
of those evenings that turn out Just right. For one thing,
we didn't have to hurry unduly ana arrived with time
enough before the concert started to leisurely make our
selves comfortable in an advantageous spot on the hillside.
Pal Peg from the News Room was our companion and
before long we were joined by Mrs. H. L. Roberts, whom
both of us have come to know through Civic Music, since she
was secretary for a number of years. Mrs. Roberts said she
had attended several of the concerts given the first week
of the new festival; the three of us agreed that the hillside
with its pine and madrone trees is a good setting and that
the festival board had accomplished wonders in such a
brief time. .
There were many familiar faces in the large audience
the Allan Perrys, Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Drew, Mrs. Tom
Williams, Ada Knackstedt, Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Cecil from
SOC and the Otto Frohnmayers among others. Both Dr.
and Mrs. Cecil and the Frohnmayers were accompanied by
the American Field service students who will live in their
homes during the coming year. Bart de Beer irom 'ine new
erlands. a Euest of the Frohnmayers, greeted us in the for
mal European fashion with
charming as contrasted to the
from so many young Americans.
The Cecils, with Mrs. Cecil's two daughters and their
' AFS euest Christlane Hoberg
ncd to spend this week at Honeyman State park on the Ore
gon coast vacationing. Since Miss Hooerg is a competition
swimmer, they chose Honeyman because the park has a
large swimming pool where she will be able to work out
daily.
.
Potpourri was in the mood for music, and found the
concert numbers thoroughly satisfying, wnen uretei anan.
lev came on stage for her flute solo number, we were sur
prised to find that she . had taken off her neck brace-Miss
Shanlcy was in an automobile accident only a few days be
fore the festival opened ana is wearing one oi mose con
t -,llors around the neck which accident victims hate so
thoroughly but are forced to
ever, aiter her solo numbers,
before taking her place in the orchestra.
In spite of the injury, Miss Shanley gave a fine per
formance. We hope to hear her in an indoor concert some
time where every small sound of the delicate Instrument
can be enjoyed to the fullest. '
The program seemed to end too soon - we were reluct
ant to leave the festive area with the path marked with
luminarias - these are nothing more than paper sacks part
ly filled with sand in which one sticks lighted candles, but
they are most effective. They look cheerful and decorative
, and serve the double purpose of marking the paths and road
ways. We were told that Bert Pree had suggested their use
after the first night concert when some of the patrons had
difficulty In makina their way down the slope to the road.
The sight of the luminarias was a familiar one to Pal
Peg since she lived for years In New Mexico where they are
used by the thousands at cnristmas ana otner nouaay times.
We had parked the Road
Bennett's studio and seeing lights on and ine aoor open nos
nitably. the two of us went calling. It was a happy decislon-
we found not only Eugene but Dr. and Mrs. Harry Daniel
son, young Ben Trowbridge and his charming wife, as well
as Ray Lewis, Bruce West, Robby Collins, and other callers.
Mr. Bennett is in the process of converting an old
Jacksonville saloon Into a studio where he both works and
dlsDlavi his DalntinKs. To be able to follow the delightful
music with a pleasant hour
and sculpture made the evening one to rememoer. coin
Peg and Potpourri were pleased to learn that the artist, who
has been busy both with tne
scaping, plans to get busy soon
more paintings with a floral
great favor with many of his following.
Mrs. Daniclson said regretfully that she had not been
able to visit all the studios, galleries and art shows in the
valley this summer. This brought to mind a matter which
we often think about-20 years ago interest in art in Med
ford and vicinity was limited to a small group and art ac
tivities had little space in The Mail Tribune. Now Were
are artists - both professional and amateur - on practically
every street in every town and city, there are galleries and
studios with interesting exhibits and the many phases of art
constitute one of the area's main interests and pleasures.
Potpourri urged Mrs. Danlelson to visit the Fontaine
studio (it is Mr. Bennett's former location in Medford) and
see the work of Roberto Clabani who recently came to Med
ford from Italy. We had promised to write something about
his exhibit, but the days have been over-flowing this sum
mer - the busiest we can ever remember since joining the
Tribune staff.
The group didn't talk about art all the time, however.
The conversation turned this way and that and even Bruce
West's sweater came in for comment. He was wearing a sim
ply mammoth white hand knit garment that came well down
on his ample frame and which was fashioned with an un
usual pattern. Had the maker been present he, or she, could
have had a number of orders in no time at all.
As the two of us rolled back to Medford with the warm
wind around us and the gorgeous star-filled sky overhead
we agreed that those who had chosen to stay Indoors all
evening had cheated themselves.-O.S.

less than two days later.
The President's wife has
been recuperating at "Bram
bletyde," a rambling house
overlooking Nantucket sound,
since her return from the Otis
Air Force base hospital last
Wednesday.
She has been resting a lot.
But she also has been getting
out in the sunshine, doing
some painting, reading some
of her mail and even went
to the airport Friday night
with the President and her
youngsters to say goodbye to
her sister, Princess Lee Rad
ziwill of London who flew
back to Athens, Greece, to re
sume a vacation with her fam
ily. Mrs. Kennedy was not able
to attend the gay coming out
party Saturday night for her
stepsister, Janet Auchincloss,
18, at Newport, R. I. The hun
dreds of guests danced until
the early morning hours at
Hammersmith farm, estate of
Mrs. Kennedy's stepfather
and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh D. Auchincloss, where
the debutante party was giv
en. The cream of the social
register's younger set attend
ed the party. Representing
the White House were the
first lady's press secretary,
Miss Pamela Turnure, and so
