Soroptimists, Starting Feb. 16th '" Guest speaker at the Thursday noon luncheon of the Klamath Falla Soroptimist club at the Willard hotel waa Mrs. Jean Leverich who la In charge of registration of Klamath women for war service,' Introduced by Mrs. Catherine Brum baugh as luncheon hostess. Mrs. Leverich gave a concise ex planation of the work of the committee which she heads local ly, with Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar as state chairman. The committee, explained Mrs. Leverich, Is preparing to . compile a . roster of every woman in the state for occu pational classification. Blanks for this work will be released February the first and actual contacts will start February the sixteenth. Workers for ac tual field service will not be volunteer, but will be desig nated by the proper authori ties. ... Mrs, Leverich announced that it is the intent of the committee to have Oregon the first state in the union to com plete registration, with every woman registered as to her abilities, experience, profes sion and knowledge. ' This is a federal project, she said, and compares with the work done by. the federal employment bureau, except that it is ex clusively for women, enabling . the government to have wo men ready to place in posi tions vacated by men- who have entered the service, t The speaker startled her listeners by stating that girls nay have to take the place of boys in the farm fields, or do other work -that In America has been strictly out of the province of women. ..'-.' Mrs. '-. Leverich . explained conflict with other, registra tions made . through- local clubs, - service organizations or. chambers of commerce but is .entirely different ' and strictly . under federal ' sup ervision. Positions obtained by filling of vacancies created by men called to the national de fense will not be permanent, but adjustments will be made with the return of the men -to civilian life. ,' 'This will be. women's con tribution to the national de fense and we will be ready," aha said emphatically. "When the - question, is , asked, "were the American women ready when called upon,' the answer will be," "yes, we were ready 1 " Mia. Sylvia McClelland of the Klamath Falls club . brought the war very close as She told of her closest friend, a women with two daughters, former residents of Davao, who returned to the states last July. Her husband, formerly manager of the Standard Vac uum Oil company, ' retired in August from this position, de voting his time to his . copra and . hemp plantation . near Davao. In November he wrote to his f amily to expect him by dipper at Christmas, stating in his; letter that the Japanese tenants, of his plantation had asked him for protection in . case of war with the United States. This Is the last word the family has had, and they are frantic with worry, said Mrs. McClelland. In addition, all. their funds are tied up in the Philippine banks, and they do not know what to do or where to turn. ; The many friends of Miss Julia . Boone in the Klamath Falls Soroptimist club were delighted to hear that she had been chosen by her club as the Soroptimist . who most com pletely personified Soropti mtsm "the ideals of sincere ity of friendship, the joy of achievement, the dignity of service and the love of coun try." The .Portland club, of ' which 'Miss Boone is a past president, each year selects the "Soroptimist of the Year," and the choice for 1941 was this' outstanding woman. who for years has been identified with the lumber Industry, be ing with Pope and Talbot.

The Reason I Look So MAD It Because " I bought too many shoes this fall, I figured more people wanted the better SELBY footwear, but I was ' certainly crossed up en that, - So . Mutical Motel ' The annual Orchestral and Operatic Issue of the Musical Courier this year Is Issued amid conditions akin to actual wii days. It might be well to ask: "What effect Is this state of alarr having upon our country's artistic life?" The Musical Courier can provide an answer. America is again turning to music, as during World War No. 1. When the Chicago Symphony Orchestra observed Its Jubi lee season Inst year, some might have felt that this was a lone Indication of Intoreat In symphonlo music. This season, New York's Philharmonic-Symphony Society la celebrating It 100th anniversary. And on Its program are appearing the composi tions not of writers of a past era, but of contemporary and nntivo Americans. In many ways, the nation is Indicating Its Interest In musi cal affairs. In the words of Mayor Howard W. Jackson of Baltimore, It Is being revealed on all sides that muslo Is "a vital factor In both amusement and recreation." That city 1 observing the 23th year of Its contribution, from municipal funds, for the maintenance of a municipal orchestra. In San Francisco, the city budget this year Is nllotlng more than one tenth of one per rent for music, an estimated total of 185,000 out of its tsx funds. In Ann Arbor, Mich., the orchestra I an all-city one: In Salt Lake City, the Utah State Symphony again la cooperating with the Music Project of the WPA and sub scriptions for Its season, show an Increase of 30 per cent ovJL last year. (O - Tb enumerate the list of municipalities where subscription lists and attendance reports show an Increase would require additional pages: these facts are revealed, however. In the various reports to the Musical Courier, It Is enough to say that tho $60,000,000,000 defense budget of the Nation Is re sulting In a musical boom from coast to coast. Our orchestras aro proving that their audience Is not con fined to the concert halls, to their local cities, to the localities which they visit. It Is Indicated from reports of the broadcast Ing networks that practically every major ensemble will be heard over the air during the season. Noted organizations such as tho New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia and the Rochester Philharmonic, are making regular weekly broad casts. The audience of 20,000,000 which listens to the radio wants the best In music, , On the radio are heard, too. some performances of lead ing opera companies, from the West Coast to the Metropolitan in the East. From excerpts to complete operas, these broad casts evidence the fact that the American sudUryre knows and likes its opera. That there Is a growing tenderKK av give such perform ances in English Is also demonstrated1 by the change in our operatic bill of fare. Four works aro to be sung In English this year at the Metropolitan: Rochester and Philadelphia cajsa, tinue their policy of presenting opera In the language of tlsr listener. St. Louis Is another Instance of this. In Chicago, there has also been a change toward a greater popular appeal of opera. Fortune Gallo. pioneering Impresario who brought opera to the hinterlands, has been called to assume the general management of Its lyric company. Gio vanni Mnrtlnelli, long a favorite In that city as well as at the Metropolitan. Is his artistic director In the movement toward making opera available tor all. Nor must our other musical organizations be overlooked In any summary of the new musical year. All have been vital fuctors, all have played Important roles. Tribute to them I paid in the statements of many orchestral conductors and man agers, as revealed In this issue. The music clubs, fraternities and other societies play a dominant role. This year, for example, Delta Omlcron I ob serving Its 32nd anniversary. Its record of notable achievement Is Illustrative of what such musical organization have done; but It also I prophetic of the future. Has the wsr affected this country? It has, but In a manner which few would have dared prophesy even a decade ago. For America has Indeed turned to music. MAUN PAIR MARRIED IN DECEMBER MALIN A wedding of In terest to friends of the young couple was announced this week by Mr. and Mrs. Joe La hoda.
