Comstock Cemetery
Clean Up Day Sunday
By LOR ETTA OLEjON
May 25 has been chosen as the
day to gather at Comstock Cem
etery to clean up and care for
the graves. Everyone must bring
his own tools. -This is such a beau
tiful spot, and the community has
fenced it and tries to keep the road
to it gravelled and the grounds
cleaned up.
If those who are unable to come
themselves will send a contribu
tion to the Secretary of the Associa
tlon, Mrs. Grace Goins, Box 26,
Curtin, or leave the money with
the Curtin postmaster, it will be
used to the best advantage. It is
difficult to hire anyone this time
of year to work in the cemetery,
as everyone is so busy.
Several who bave graves in this
cemetery would like to have a
meeting and try to raise money to
mark the older graves while per
sons are still here who remember
whose they are. There is a grave ot
a veteran of the Cherokee In
dian War. Also a fenced enclosure,
badly grown up to trees and weeds,
the fence being a remarkable ex
ample of beautiful hand carving,

In Art Activities
Art clubs in Oregon have ex
panded and greatly advanced both
in numbers and services the past
few years. This was the statement
of Mrs. Jack West, who, with Mrs.
Kenneth Ford, reported on the
first annual meeting of the Oregon
Art Alliance held at the Portland
Art Museum, May 3. They spoke
at the Roseburg Art Association s
monthly meeting at Senior High
School Tuesday night.
Roseburg is one of 31 Oregon
communities to have an art club,
Mrs. West reports. Coquille's club,
with 75 members, has held 16 ex
hibits in less than two years of
organization, is holding youth art
classes, and is starting an art cen
ter, she said. Other outstanding
clubs included those at Eugene,
with 250 members, Astoria, Coos
Bay and Klamath Falls. At the
latter club, art teachers are
brought in to teach for a month
each. Many clubs are repotted to
bave workshops. Next to the Port
land Art Museum, formed 60 years
ago at DeLake the most famous
art group in Oregon is the Lincoln
County club, formed 11 years ago
with $25 and an old building. It
sponsors traveling exhibits which
may be viewed daily by the public,
she reported.
Future Aim Cltod
The aim of the Roseburg art
group, according to President
Leonard Kimbrell, is to work to
ward a permanent place to work
and to exhibit. At present the
group meets In the high school on
the third Tuesday of the month.
Featured speaker of the evening
was Howard Glaser, Eugene arch
itect, who exphasized the import
ance of functional design, use of
native materials and production in
works of architecture. He cited the
igloo as an Ideal, a truly modern,
piece of architecture. Professional
architects are only beginning to
make use of the structural and
Insulation advantages of this de
sign, he said.
He also showed slides to illu
trate his discussion before 14 Art
Association members and 38
guests. He explained bow furniture
design can degenerate from a
functionally useful item to a com
mercial Imitation that may look
similar to the designer's ideal, but
lacks true comfort and functional
usefulness.
Palntines of club members were
displayed, along with examples of
students' art work at the Senior
High. Some fine quality dishware
and silverware were also exhibit
ed. Mrs. Ford, in summing up the
importance of ai t to our age, quot
ed Thomas C. Colt Jr., in saying
that art represents "the sensibility
of man in a mechanized society."
