PAGE SIX The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon. Sunday Morning, December 21, 1941 Much admiration has been ex pressed by Art Center visitors for the colorful Christmas exhi bition of ten tempera panels made by the Center staff and students of the painting class, as a Christmas display project. At the far end wall of the large gallery are hung three re ligious scenes: "The Annuncia tion," "The Nativity," and "The Good Angel." They are com pelling in a certain radiance of appeal, achieved largely by the technique employed, similar to that used in the early Italian paintings. Placed on the long side walls are pictures depicting the Christ mas legends and customs of other countries. "The Mexican Pinata" and the Polish "Proces sion of the Star" are hung at either end of a mahogany man tle, topped with greens, a piece of white sculpture, "Madonna and Child," from the Center stu dios, and white candles. On the back wall of the gallery is the lovely "Angel Chorus.'" Wreaths and greens serve to heighten the holiday atmosphere. Daring and restraint mark the decorative interest of the ex ' hibit of red mounted photographs of Spanish religious architecture In the entrance gallery. The photographs form a collection lent by Joseph Portal. The green gallery is gay again with a well done showing of children's paintings from the Art Center classes of Mae Ging rich. The Tuesday radio program will be given by Hally John on, staff instructor in painting and Miss Ethel Hickey, student In the painting class. Mr. John son, who planned and painted the Christmas display of tem pera panels with the assistance of his students and Byron Ran dall and George Blais, also in , structors, on the staff, will give resume of the project on the Tuesday broadcast, starting at 2:15 over KSLM. A Christmas party as given by Mae Gingrich and George Blais on Saturday morning for the younger students in their ' painting and sculpture classes. The party which was held in the painting studio at the Center was attended by over 40 chil dren. Greens and candles provided a holiday background to the stu dio. A surprise note in the re freshments which delighted the small guests were the candy houses, which were carried home as edible reminders of the frolic.

West Salem, Dallas and Stayton Announce Blackout Regulations ' WEST SALEM Citizens of the community are reminded of the blackout which will last about 30 rninutes Sunday , night be tween 9 and 12 o'clock. .

Escape Attack on Wake Island Family Bookshelf The extra activities of Christ mas week in the home leave very little time for reading. But this season of year means more leisure time at home for many and in order to add pleasure to an already happy holiday the library offers the following books which tell how to do things rather than try to enter tain by telling a story. First, because eating is all important and one of the season's greatest pleasures, we mention for father the book "This Business of Carv ing" by America's best known gentleman cook, Bill Rhode. If you have ever sat down before a beautifully browned turkey or roast and wondered just where and how to start carving, we suggest you avoid a similar em barrassment by studying the technique of meat slicing as told in word and picture in this at tractive little book. All the family can enioy some part of the book "It's Fun to Make Things" by Martha Park- ill and Dorothy Spaeth, two young women who conduct the Crater chib day camp. Such pleasant occupations as painting, work with metal, pottery, raffia, leather and carpentry, are con sidered. The chief value of the book, aside from its complete instructions for making things, lies in the wealth of projects suggested. One of the library's most pop ular spots during this month has been the Christmas play and party section. Many books sug gesting games for small or large groups are still available. There are also books containing good ideas for room and table dec oration. One new book that will be helpful to those organizing entertainments is "The Play' leader's Manual" by Margaret E. Mulac. Such diverse and entertainment as folk dancing, singing, storytelling, dramatics and group games are adequately covered in this book. Among the great variety of new books which tell how to do things are: "The Natural Way to Draw" by Kim on Nicolaides "Cartooning for Everybody," by Lawrence Lariar; "A Guide to Better Photography" by Bernice Abbott; and for glass collectors there is "American Glass" by George and Helen McKearin; a telephone signal system which was installed in the city hall Sat urday. This test is being made to try out the signal system and to test the ability of homes and business building owners to put out their lights. The signals will be the same as the, ones given by Salem author ities, one long blast as the danger signal and two blasts for the "all clear" signal. Air raid wardens should report to their respective district heads rather than to po lice station. All police reserves will be on duty and a strict watch will be kept during the blackout period. Mrs. J. M. Fisher returned to her home Thursday following a major operation two weeks ago at the Salem General hospital. DALLA S William Blachley, coordinator, and William C.
