MONUAV, NUVfclUBfcK 18, 1IW3 BARD'S INN RESTAURANT Ashland 6(A.M.-10 P.M. 7 DAYS PER WEEK Banquet Room Former Valley Resident Observes 101st Birthday Harrv G. Mathes uhn born during the second year of mo uvn war, ana came to the Rogue River Valley as an in fant, observed his Mint hirih. day Thursday in San Francisco. He has been a patient "because of his age" at the Laurel Heights Convalescent Hospital since June. The white-haired centenarian is "alert to what is going on in the world and is a cheerful companion to h i fellow pa tients." according to Margaret Erickson, superintendent of the hospital. The Mathes family came West in 1852 by ox team. His father homesteaded near Phoenix, then went back to Illinois in 1860 to marry. Harry was born in 1862 on the Harry Oatman farm on the Killbuck River, Ogle Coun ty, 111. A year later he was brought to the coast by his par ents, coming by steamer from New York to Panama, by train across Panama, by steamer to San Francisco, then by Sacra mento River boat to Red Bluff. The remainder of the journey was by stage across the Siski yous to the Southern Oregon farm. 1 In 1986 Mathes married Kate Cooley, a Siskiyou County, Cali fornia, school superintendent, and member of a Northern Cali fornia pioneer family. Retired in 1907 The couple lived on the same farm from log cabin days to 1907, when Mathes retired and moved to a small farm near Ashland with his wife and daughter. In 1922 the family moved to Palo Alto and their daughter, Mary, now Dr. Mary Mathes, entered Stanford Medi cal School. Mr. and Mrs. Mathes moved to a rural home in Contra Cos ta County in 1925. Mrs. Mathes died in 1956, but he remained in the home until last spring when his daughter persuaded him to move to ban francisco. One of his last acts before leav ing for the city just before his 100th birthday was to patch the roof of his house. If any valley people are in San Francisco and wish to visit with the former Southern Ore. gon pioneer, who is eager to recall earlv day history with Jackson County people, the hos pital staff suggests that ar rangements be made by tele phone before calling in person. His dauehter. a practicing physi cian and surgeon, has offices at 350 Post St., San Francisco. Paris Chamber Group Called 'Near Perfect Ensemble' Bend Hound Judged Best at Whidby Show MARYSVILLE, Wash. (UPI) Champion Musicland's Trou dabor, a 21-month-old basset owned by Al and Ellen Weeks, Bend, Ore., was judged best of his breed at the Whidbey Is land Kennel Club show Sunday. By RICHARD D. WERNER Music of the 18th century was presented by the Paris Chamber Orchestra, Paul Kuentz, con ductor, yesterday afternoon at the Hedrick Junior High School gymnasium for the members of the Jackson County Civic Mu sic Association. 1 A small group of only 14 string players assisted by Chris tian Larde as flute soloist, they performed with great skill and displayed a near perfect en semble. Beginning with a suite by Dauvergne in four movements Overture: Grave-Presto, Aria grazioso I and II, Allegro I and II and Passacaille we were ushered into a world of sound not heard often enough these days and in every way a de light, It was at once apparent that we were listening to people who love their art and are part and parcel of their instruments. The beautiful bowing by all players was in itself a sight to behold and the tone emanating from the instruments was a sound not soon to be forgotten. Violin Solo Monique Frasca Colombier, concertmistress, performed the solo part in Haydn's "Concerto No. 1" for violin accompanied by the rest of the strings. Her playing was sure in style and impeccable as to intonation. The gay underlying spirit of Haydn came through most de lightfully and the audience re sponded with warm and pro longed applause. The soloist was noticeably pleased and we are sure Haydn would have been also. Unlike modern composers, OBITUARIES MRS.

Haydn was concerned with pleasing the audience and when they were he was happy too. A "Concerto for Flute and Orchestra" by Pergolesi brought Christian Larde forth and a real treat it was. This man understands the true nature of the flute and his tone was limpid and clear but withal possessing great carrying power without roughness. The absence of excessive vibrato was noteworthy. Following intermission the first cellist Michel Renard play ed the Boccherini "Concerto in B Flat Major." This is a very intricate work for cello and Renard did mag nificently. A master of the fingerboard, his most outstand ing ability however is the duali ty of tone he commands. Here is a player who knows what a continuous tone means and it seemed at times that his arm and hand on the bow were made of rubber. To change bow on a stringed instrument so that the tone does not diminish or die is a skill of the highest order and requires endless hours of practice. I well remember how, before he became famous, Piatagorski in his cellar apartment on 67th Street in New York would play long sustained tones endlessly so as not to break the tone or have the bow change noticed. It is a most difficult thing to do and requires many hours of work, but is worth all it takes to acquire. It is the difference between tone and sound. Final Selection ' To finish the concert the or chestra played an early work of Rossini. This was titled "Sonata for Strings No. 3 in C Major." Here is a case of the boy being father to the man It was not very difficult to hear strains of "II Barbiere" and the "Stabat Mater." Most excellent ly played, especially the part for the bass player, who really is very fine. He earned the special bow accorded him by the con ductor. And the conductor is to be praised for the fine work he is doing with these people and the solid musiciansnip ne Brings to his task. We would like n little less movement on his part as it sometimes seems more than necessary, but the quality of music he brines forth soon makes one forget that he is working too hard. For encore the four Rumanian dances by Bartok were played and they were most invigorat ing. A beautiful concert wnicn could have been enjoyed more with better seats in a better place. Four Vehicle Crashes Checked By City Police Four vehicle accidents in Medford Sunday were investi gated by city police, One slight injury was reported, officers said, and one driver was cited.
