This is not intended as a derogatory pun, but a statement of things to come, literally. According to Mr. E. H. Stewart, within a period of 6 or 8 months, he will have moved the best col lection of game birds in the State of Oregon into their new quarters on Tiller-Trail highway (Oreg. 227). For almost 45 years, Mr. Stewart and his wife, Ardith, have operated a large game bird farm in Canoga Park in the San Fernando valley , UO Js Notified 0(70 Fellows . 3 i - Eugene - The University of (at the university this fall un t'Qregoa Graduate school has I der the NDEA program, with I, beeit notified by the U.S. Of-1 42 others taking either tlicir lice of Education that it will second or third year ol study Since the NDEA program was started, the University of Oregon has been awarded more fellowships ' than - any other institution in the na tion,- according to Dr. Harry Alpert, dean of the Graduate School here.

D. WERNER Yesterday evening the Britt Music Festival orchestra be gan its second week in Jacksonville. Bach's Brandenburg Con certo No. 5 in D Major for flute, violin and piano (harp sichord) was the opening number. Soloists were Gretel Shanlcy, Charles Hcidcn and Margaret Moore. The three movements were Allegro, Af fetuoso and Allegro. This music is not a great inspirational work but effec tive for what It is. BactVs music was the final flowering of the Baroque school and the tremendous skill he possessed made him able to make an ordinary scale sound musical. Beethoven and Brahms had the same skill and the great critic, Ernest Newman said it exasperated him because it was difficult to tell wncre inspiration left off and crafts manship sot In. However, it was well played and set the tone for the rest of the pro gram. French Horn Solo The concerto for French horn by Morart No. 4 in E flat Major had Mr. White for soloist. He played the diffi cult solo part very well and it always amazes this writer that horn players do the things they do with such ap parent ease. Of course, it only seems that way because even with the aid of valves they have to produce all the tones with their lips. It is a treach erous instrument and the player can never be certain that any given tone will not crack or break. As regards the tempi the soloist and con ductor should follow the ad montlon of Richard Strauss and Bcla Bartok (both of whom were authorities on Mo zart): "Play Mozart slower Rough Language Okay On Construction Job Des Moines, Iowa - IHPII Swearing and "rough lan guage" is permissible in con struction work, the Iowa Em ployment Security Commis sion has ruled. Refusing Jobless benefits to a worker who quit because his foreman swore, the commis sion declared: "It is known that in con struction work some rough language Is used and some drinking is done from time to time. It is rough, hot work and demands a type of per son who is sometimes not too careful as far as language is concerned." - than written and then a little slower." After.. Inter mission the strings played a psalm and fugue by Hovhancss. This contemporary Armenian American composer is a de parter from the idiom most commonly called modern. He is not afraid of homophonic sound nor afraid to create some beauty. It was extremely well played and the plaudits were well earned. One critic remarked after hearing some of Hovhanness' music that he had "better take care abo.it writing music people could enjoy or he would be read out of the league." An Elizabethan ' suite by Purccll arranged by Barbir olli was a let down after the Hovhaness. Perhaps it was programmed as a salute to the festival in Ashland. At best Elizabethan music is cold and colorless. The English were experimenting on their own because there was not at that time much contact with the continent and they were feeling their way out of the confines of the modal system of the church. They did some daring things, as witness the chord progressions in the opening of this suite, and did much to free music from its former shackles. It was an evening of nice music and apparently jnjoved by the audience after whirh no more need be said. The same program will be played tonight. Tuesday, Aug. 20, concerts will be given at 4 and 8 p.m. with Director John Trudeau conducting and David Atkins, clarinetist, as soloist for a Copland number, James Smith and Charles Lauer will be featured in a concerto for two trumpets and string or chestra, by Manfrcdi, and Bach suite will close the program. area of California. They have specialized in the breeding, and raising of various kinds of pheasants. They also have large flocks of geese, includ ing the famed Canadian hon ker, and the rare snow goose. Among their variety of duck are the Mandarin and mal lard. Altogether, they will bring into this area a flock of approximately 5,000 birds. The Stewarts purchased the old Wehyde home place at the Intersection of Buck Rock Lookout road and Highway 227. Presently, the construc tion of pans to house these birds, plus those additional utility buildings needed, is going on apace. And, within the time mentioned above, The Stewart Game-bird farm should be in full operation. Mr. Stewart is an Army veteran of World War I, and is now a VA pensioner. Dur ing that conflict he was wounded in four different places Africa, France. Sicilv. and Italy. He has lectured on ornithology throughout the United States, and he states that he believes that he is one of only three other such speakers in the country who also furnish film showing with their talks. A Federal permit as welt as a State license is required to Dreed and raise game birds. The farm will sell these game birds on the retail and whole sale markets, but most of the past sales have been made to parks and zoos throughout the country. Large sales have also been made to wild game bird refuges in States through out the U.S. Mrs. Stewart is remaining in San Fernando valley until the new location is prepared and ready for the reception of this large flock of game birds. . Livestock Entries Down at State Fair Salem -(UPH- Most livestock entries to the 1963 Oregon State Fair were down slightly from a year ago, according to Mrs. Lolly Hauk. livestock superintendent. Entries closed Aug. 10, she said. Dairy cattle were down from 599 last year to 501 this year, and beef cattle dropped from 211 to 188. The sheep division showed an increase from 740 to 876, and Angora goats were up from 40 a year ago to 54 this year. The state fair here is slated to open Aug. 30. SWIM SUIT Regular $10.95 to $23.95 Two Famous Brands mm $7.99 S10.99-S12.99 .112 IAST MAIN ST. Applegdte River Area Visited by Rockhounds Applegate Valley - Appar ently "one jade lover tells another," and about 30 rock hounds from . Klamath Falls, with a few from Grants Pass, literally converged on the Applegate river during the week end, and took home some worthwhile specimens of jade. The group came and went at various periods over the week end, making the old CCC camp above Copper their overnight headquarters. Fishing and gold panning also was on the agenda. They called themselves "the., tail gaters." The Klamath group was headed by Mrs. Jack Brownell of the Klamath Falls rock and mineral club. She stated that the Klamath group has scheduled a rock show for mid-September. They also visited the Apple- gate rock shop, owned by Kenneth Paine, who made the jade discovery in the Apple gate river five years ago, and who since has discovered jade of much higher quality than the first samples. According to Paine, Len Ramp, resident geologist in Grants Pass, will have an article published soon in the "Ore Bin," state geol ogy magazine, regarding dis covery of nephrite jade irl Oregon.
