NUMMf, OnMhll 211, IIWJ AltlJKOHI) MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON POTPOURRI Last Monday there was a note of pessimism in the valley about the Portland Symphony orchestra concert. Ticket sales had been slow, we were told, and sponsors were bracing themselves for a big deficit. But somehow, the tide turned and a marvelous audience of 1600 persons turned out Wednesday night. The after noon audience had been small, but the hour was an awkward one for most persons. In spite of the big audience, we learn that still the venture lost money. It costs a great deal to transport a large group of musicians around the state, but many are still hopeful that the symphony can continue to go on tour - perhaps every other year if not annually. To hear a program of good symphony music can be a marvelously exciting and enriching experience it was so Wednesday night and we believe that the entire state should be brought into the effort to support the Portland group. The exciting evening was longer for those who went on to Hocue Valley Country club to (he reception given by the Peter Brit Music and Arts association for the musicians. Not only was there food and drink and good conversation, but there was more music. To the surprise of some - but noi 10 omers lour or nve of the orchestra members hardly stopped lor a bite to eat before starting a jam session. One of the bass viol players took to the piano and gathered around were James Smith, that fabulous trumpet player, a trombonist, an exceedingly active drummer in love with the sound of the cymbals, and a double bass player. Whether you thought this off-the-cuff jazz was wonderful or awful depended upon who you were. At least one adjective could be agreed upon it was loud. In more than one way the after parly was as successful as the concert had been. It wasn't a large event, but not em barrassingly small, cither, and the refreshments and decorations met with the guests' favor. It is not often that one sees such imaginative use of flowers and other decorative material for a reception. For the refreshment table Mrs. Fred Konschot took small, pale colored chrysanthemums and massed them in a mound on which she placed a violin and a scroll of music. It was a conversation piece all evening. Also noteworthy was the arrangement near the dining room door which was the brain child of Pauline Bush. With a small irno a cello and a music stand she recreated the cover illustra tion on the Britt Music festival program used for the Britt Music festival last summer in Jacksonville. Each table in the dining room held small bouquets and a large tray of enormous dahlias in rich colors was placed in the hall near the entrance. Here's a story we learned from a friend waiting on the street coiner for the light to change. A young girl came to the door selling candy for a group to which she belongs and the prospec tive customer, deciding she should find out first for what purpose the money would be used, asked "What's it for?" Unhesitatingly the girl said, "To eat." O.S. jEg Rhonda Daniclson, daughter of iMr. and Airs.
