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.

Announce Blackout Regulations
' WEST SALEM Citizens of the community are reminded of
the blackout which will last about 30 rninutes Sunday , night be

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. Eit
her, head of the Dallas commit
tee, are preparing for Immediate
action in emergency blackouts.
