Sev eral men, interviewed' Monday morning after an overnight stay here at the Medford hotel, said that the nine consecutive weeks of the tour, which closes De cember 1, are beginning to take a toll and that everyone looks forward to returning home. A concert was given in Eugene Monday night under the sponsorship of the Eugene Civic Music association, and many local members went north for the event. The musicians had already played in 50 cities. One of the men explained that the group, directed by Sir Malcolm Sar gent, was acknowledged the most traveled orchestra in the world after completing a long tour of Poland, Russia, Ger many and Czechoslovakia last year. The men in the group in terviewed Monday said that they were warmly welcomed all over Europe, as they are in the United States. Russian Halls Best " One ventured the opinion, sec onded by others, that the most beautiful and best concert halls in the world are in Russia. It was also said that "music is cheaD" in the Soviet Union, the explanation being that music I scores and dooks. ana niusi ui the equipment needed for a musician is very inexpensive as compared to England.

"When I ask for fresh juice in hotels and restaurants, they hardly know what I'm talking about." He had, however, been buying oranges from time to time and produced one from his coat pocket. Another musician lamented the fact that he could not see more of this nation's scenic wonders, although he was thor oughly enjoying what has been available along the route made necessary by the concert sched ule. He was sorry to have missed Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and Oregon's Crater Lake. A companion re minded him that everyone had enjoyed the trip from San Fran cisco to Medford he had trouble pronouncing "Siskiyou", but remembered "Mt. Shasta." Proud of Orchestra The men are obviously proud of the orchestra of which they are a part, and reminded the re porter that it had been orga nized by the great Sir Thomas Beecham and that he had been its conductor for many years. One player made it plain that the orchestra is not the London Symphony Orchestra there is such a group but it is now in England and that the one tour ing the United States is the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London. The orchestra's director had gone to Eugene Sunday, and a few members had chosen to travel up the California and Oregon coast by other means of transportation. The 70 members who stayed in the Medford Ho tel Sunday night had mounds and mounds of luggage which each man seemed to be care fully watching to see that his own pieces were on his bus.

About 70 of the more than 100 member orchestra, traveling in three buses, spent the night in Medford and left Monday morning for Eugene where they gave a con cert that night under the auspices of the Eugene Civic Music Association.

The manager, Michael Max well, closed his business with the hotel management scarcely in time to pose for a picture, find although courteous and friendly, refused to give any figures about what it costs to keep a hundred plus musicians on the road, or what the con cert fees are.

Stiebeling, who for 20 years was the chief home economist of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Of these, 400 million have too little to eat. Some are starving. Others in less desperate straits are adjusting their lives to below-normal food intakes, the nu trition expert said.

Woman Leisure Arts Nourished older persons by lowered work output and reduced creativity," sne explained. Dr. Stiebeling was the key note speaker at a two-day "Ad vance in Nutrition" conference at Oregon State University. This conference is one of four sched uled throughout the year to cele brate the 75th anniversary of the OSU School of Home Eco nomics. Lunch Program School lunch programs based on food donated by the United States now reach 40 million chil dren in 91 countries. The school lunch is often the only real meal the children get during the day, sne said. "Not only does the school lunch program increase the learning rate of the children, but it also encourages many to go to scnoot in the first place, Dr. Stiebeling emphasized. School attendance in rural Bo livia and Peru, for example, has nearly doubled since the school lunch program began. some $341 million worth of food was donated to govern ments during the past year. And children, she continued, received three-fourth of all the commodi ties donated under the Food-for-Peace Program. Dr. Stiebeling called for as sisting the people of underde veloped countries "not neces sarily by providing the fish, but by showing them how to fish." As for giving food awav. Dr. stiebeling said "it isn t easy." It is not cheap for the giver, nor is it entirely free to the recipient. Some countries are afraid to accept much food, lest it handicap the development of their own agriculture. Obesity and dental caries are two of the "trouble spots" in today's nutrition. Nutrition researchers are chal lenged to develop and apply nu trition knowledge that will help extend expectation of life at age 50, just as they so "notably help extend expectation of life at year one." The major problem of ulti mate consumers in this country is to select food in the market with discrimination and to use it wisely. In countries where two-thirds of the world's popu lation live, such a situation is "but a dream," Dr. Stiebeling said. " ?' ? ? r " r t " m ? ? w ii Memoriam...
