News of his success came to his parents, Chief Deputy Sheriff Ken neth Randall and Mrs. Randal!, late last week in an entertaining etter describing the trials of a young artist out to market his pro ductions. Painted Since Seven Byron has been intensely inter ested in his art work since he was seven years old, according to his mother, and has virtually lived, eaten and slept in his world of painting. He spent the winter of 1937-38 alone at the Randall cab in at Elkhorn, accompanied only by his dog, and returned home in the spring with a new and striking assortment of paintings. During the past year, between preparations of meals as chef for the county Jail, Byron worked away In an Improvised studio in the courthouse basement and af ter hours assisted in Instruction at the Salem Art Center. The trek from one art gallery or museum to another was a dis couraging one, young Randall wrote, and he ''felt humble and very much out of place with my crude painting" in the presence of exhibits "of the best old masters. But, finally, in Washington he consulted a librarian to whom Val Clear, director of the Salem Art Center, had referred him and fol owed a suggestion that he take his paintings to the Whyte gallery In tne national capital. Ensuing events he described in his letter as follows: "Mr. Whyte very frankly tells me, before we go any further that even If he likes my work, he could n't possibly give me a show or buy any of them. But he looks at them anyway. I stand around for four hours while he looks them over which Is more thoroughly than I figured was necessary If he wasn't buying or showing them. Well,' he says at last, 'maybe I can use one or two " "I feel like kissing him but In stead I stand around with a poker face while he looks at them some more, now assisted by two secre taries. m WW Through all the speed ranges from lowest to highest, the Ford V-8 gives yon die economical, well-balanced perform ance of a soundly engi neered car.

"Mr. Whyte la a rery nice sort of a fellow, and his gallery is very nice. Bight now he's showing Raol Duty, one of the greatest French contemporary painters. The gallery bought 33 of my water colors outright. The price was not too good but I think more than fair since they are paying all expenses for a show in the near future. The price will be better as soon as a reasonable market Is bunt, which will take a little time. Maybe a lot of time, but I'm a pa tient anlmaL It gives me a living in the meantime.
