1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1363 Potpourri ... If some enterprising soul had passed the collection plate at Hedrick Junior High School Wednesday night he might have netted a goodly sum for a civic auditorium nest egg. At least we think that Jackson County Civic Music Association members who sat in the bleachers during the Erick Friedman concert surely would have been happy to contribute. Potpourri would have. We've always thought we'd enjoy good music under almost any conditions, but we might change our mind. Of course, there are those who don't seem to mind sitting on the narrow, backless bleacher seats, but they're mostly younger and constructed along different lines. Some of the women said that in the future if they must sit in the bleachers, they planned to wear full skirts and flat shoes for the climb up the steep steps. High heels and short, skimpy skirts just aren't the thing to wear. Let us hasten to say that we are not blaming the board of the Civic Music Association. Had we been a member of the board, we'd have voted to do exactly what they did do. Confronted with 1300 ticket holders who want to attend Civic Music concerts, and a high school auditorium that only holds a thousand persons, it seemed logical to move the concerts to Hedrick school. We also would have voted to buy the acoustical shell. It doesn't com pletely solve the problem of the terrible acoustics at Hedrick, but at least it helps, particularly for those seated the farthest from the stage. Perhaps this cloud has a silver lining. If enough Civic Music members are thoroughly uncomfortable for the concerts, perhaps they will all join efforts and work for a decent auditorium with proper and comfortable seating, a good stage and adequate acoustics. Mr. Friedman, who is a most wonderful violinist, and his accompanist, Julian Bern, both praised the shell during a party given for them after the concert at the home of the Fred Kon schots. The young violinist also suggested that the curtains which hang from above over the front of the stage be removed for con certs, saying these prevent the sound from traveling out to the listeners. Mr. Friedman talked a little about acoustics and said "this matter of acoustics is a mirage." He added that not only does sound not travel from the stage to the audience as it should when conditions are poor, but that the sounds the audience make are carried to the musicians on stage and sometimes bother the per formers. "You should just hear what strange noises come up to us when the people in the audience move around," he said. - The violinist added that some musicians think the acoustics in Philharmonic hall of the new Lincoln Center for the Perform ing Arts in New York City "are terrible." The hall, first used a year or so ago, cost a fortune and acoustical engineers, archi tects and musicians have all had a hand in the planning and teams of experts are still trying to solve the problem of why the music doesn't sound the way it should. , . In the October issue of the Jackson Journal, put out at Jack son school, several students had written thoughts on '"If I Could Invent," All seemed to be interested in getting good grades, with out too much effort. This, of course, is practically a universal wish among students of any age and any school. Paula Moody wrote "I would like to invent a kind of machine so that you can read another person's mind. Just maybe I could get straight A's." Lynda Reavis wrote "I would invent a mind that wouldn't let me get lower grades than a B" and Brad Jones said "I would invent a tape study machine to make homework easier." Susan Thompson went a little further out and said "I would invent belter books for the school and make better libraries. I would also invent better people that do not get mad." She's got something there. Dawn Morehcad really hit it with Potpourri. She wrote "I would invent a quillamalla. This is a machine that cleans the house by itself and it takes only 1 minute and Hi seconds." Go right ahead Dawn. We'd like one of those machines. Karen Francis went Dawn one better. Karen would invent a teacher. "She (?) would play baseball, football, prison ball and every game I wanted to play. I would just take the batteries out to make a new teacher." O.S.

Accessories Elegant This Fall United Press International That ubiquitous black satin envelope of an evening purse just won't do this season. There's a return to "old world" elegance in accessories and the revival definitely goes for hand bags, too, says Ivan Kessler. Kesslcr, a handbag manufactur er, recommends the beaded bag the brighter the colors the better. (Josef Bags), A new synthetic wig for wom en started as a roll of Dynel fi ber, 22 inches long and 54 inches wide. The material looks like a shaggy rug.

An interesting half-day was mink coat is sewn, to form a shape patterned to fit milady's head. A piece of clastic is then stitched inside, making the wig adjustable to fit every head size and enabling the wearer to easily tuck her own locks in side.

Ditto for the variations on every other color in the rainbow. In the Ozarks, residents claimed that the fall colors were less spectacular than in other years because of the se vere drought and the fact there had as yet been no frost, the traveler reports. Parts of the areas visited had had no rain since June 15. Enroute home an overnight stay was made in Tulsa, Okla. with relatives of the Richlings, and a stop was made in Neb raska City to see the lodge of J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. More rains have fallen in the states of Kansas and Nebraska than in their neighboring states to the south, and both were colorful with many of the rolling hills cov ered with fields of winter wheat just coming up. Corn was ripe and much harvesting was be ing done. To one who had not been in Nebraska in 20 years, the sight of the huge government grain storage elevators was a shock, the traveler noted. It is esti mated some 7 to 8 million tons of this year's milo, a feed crop, are dumped on the ground be cause of the lack of storage space.
