THAT VIEW G GLASS DOORS Violinist To Play Wednesday Erick Friedman, violinist, will Music Association this week, is give the first concert of the sea son for Jackson County Civic counted one of the nation's most outstanding young artists. The concert is set for 8 p.m. Wednes day, October 30, at Hedrick Junior High school. The young man has toured the Orient, South Africa and Europe as well as playing in the United States, and has received many standing ovations. A native of New Jersey, young Friedman studied first with Ivan Galamain and made his profes sional debut at 10. His New York Philharmonic debut came two years later, and at the age of 17 he gave a recital at Car negie Hall. The New York Times wrote of his recital "Mr. Fried man played with confidence, in strumental security, good mu sicianship, secure intonation, an utterly dependable bow arm and serious view toward the music . . He is a very gifted violinist and should have a fine career before him." European critics have called him one of the biggest talents of our time. A protege of Jascha Heifetz, Erick Friedman recorded the Bach "Concert for Two Violins and Orchestra" with Heifetz and when it was released, won ac colade's as an outstanding new recording artist. He is still in his twenties. The violinist, described as 6 feet 4 inches tall who looks like a jovial younger brother of Rock Hudson, likes to box, drives a car and engages in other activi ties sometimes shunned by vio linists worried about injuring their hands. The artist's heavy schedule for the year beginning in Jan uary calls for about 80 concerts in several countries. Council Coverage Plan Passed by Scout Council Results of the vote on the con troversial "council coverage" plan at the annual National Girl Scout Council session in Miami Beach, Fla., last week were overwhelmingly in favor of the plan it was announced yester day by Mrs. R. W. Grey, Med ford, a member of the regional committee for Region XI. Mrs. Grey stated that the vote was 2,439 for, and 359 against. National leaders interpret this as a vote of confidence for the national board of directors which framed the proposal to keep "the wheels turning on the project to put Girl Scouting ad ministration in the hands of fewer and stronger councils." The Medford woman pointed out that the national board is composed of 50 members, all experienced Girl Scout women who have served as Girl Scout leaders, troop committee mem bers, neighborhood chairmen, local board members, officers and regional committee mem bers. They come from several states and cities throughout the United States. New chairmen of the regional committee is Mrs. Elliott De Forest, Seattle, Wash., who has been active in Girl Scouting since 1941, and on the national board since 1960. Region XI is composed of Alaska, Washing ton, Idaho and Montana. About 51,000 girls and 21,000 adults are represented in the region. Local Council Opposed Rogue Valley council had vot ed against the plan in sessions here and had instructed its two delegates, Mrs. B. E. Culy, council president, and Mrs. H. E. Nulton, vice-president, to vote against the proposal during the national meeting. Under the new plan, councils will be consolidated. It was stat ed at the national meeting that the new plan will mean a trim ming and tightening of policies and procedures, and an exten sion of Girl Scout activities for more girls. Locally It has been (cared that with fewer paid ex ecutives, the task of finding and Attend Opera In Bay City Among Medford opera fans who have been in San Francisco recently for performances of the Snn Francisco Opera company are Mr. and Mrs. Richard D.

Under the new plan, the present Rogue council will become a part of an en larged council with headquar ters in Eugene. In some parts of the nation, entire councils have withdrawn from the Girl Scout movement and have be come a part of other youth or ganizations, or operated as in dependent groups.

Here he shows the "Dandy" coiffure which he believes Mrs. Kennedy could wear most becomingly. The NHCA, according to Mr. Walton represents some 70,000 beauti cians and cosmetologists in the nation. (UPI) . First Lady's Hair Style ; Said Unfashionable NEW YORK (UPD-That long straight coiffure the nation's first lady has been wearing puts her "completely out of fashion" so far as one influential hair dresser is concerned. "If she were 20 or 21, she could get by with it," said Buddy Walton, styles director of the official hair fashion committee, the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association. "But she's not," he continued. "And that long bob isn't be coming to her. Mrs. Kennedy is completely out of fashion so far as I'm concerned." Walton, 40, is a St. Louis hairdresser who has coifed a lot of famous heads including those of Margaret Truman, Pat Nixon, the late Eleanor Roosevelt, Bob Hope's wife, the comedienne Phyllis Diller, actress Linda Darnell, and Rise Stevens, the opera star. He praised Mrs. John F. Ken nedy for the elaborate evening hair styles she usually wears- Kenneth of New York, Jean Louis of Washington and Alex andre of Paris all have had a hand in these. But he called on her to return to "a semi-short, casual cut for daytime." "She's usually a great influ- ence on what other women wear," said Walton. "But .this j shoulder length bob won't catch on." i Walton suggested that Mrs. I Kennedy could wear most be-1 comingly the "dandy", which is the association's choice of hair styles for fall and winter. The Garbo Style He described it as "a little bit reminiscent of the hairdo Garbo wore" close to the head, instead of tapered.

The hair falls three to four inches from the temple, and the line at the ends is horizontal versions the ends are curled a bit and swept forward over the cheeks. It requires little teasing, Wal ton said. But for most women even though the line is one of only slight wave, a soft perma nent gives "hidden support." Walton predicted in an inter view that curly hair is coming back not a return to the tight, kinky poodle of the 1940's, but to soft curl. "We're getting away from that stiff, lacquered look," said Walton. "And we always go back in styles, you know. But we give them an updating." "I wouldn't be surprised to see little girls in Shirley Temple curls," he continued, "and the Jean Harlow platinum blonde definitely is coming in." The association, which has just concluded its national beauty fashion show in New York, rep resents some 70,000 U.S. beau ticians and cosmetologists, he said.
