6-gf. tKSSssry gy Or taroSiy, May 151955 By CARL HALL . - Don Frey's painting is a very strong one, the figure, painted it. shades of blues and soft greys against a non-descript background has great power. In its awkward muscular construc tion it seems to stride from its background with determination. One is aware of strong implica tions and, though unable to pinpoint them, one feels a affirmative purpose.. But what is the af firmation? Since it was painted by a young man one is very sure that it has . a definite meaning. Needless to say the meaning that I found in it, while similar in essence with Don's, did not have the religious overtones that, were in the young man's thoughts as he worked on the painting. Don Frey has this to say about the work: "I have tried to portray the soul of a man on judg ment day, who while in the flesh met the creator's requirements for obtaining eternal life. His Actions on earth were ff faith and of acceptance; consequently he perfected his inward self day by pay, even as his outward self wasted away in age. The background and the figure on the right Represent the world with, and against which the idividual struggles for grace. It should be obvious that the above thoughts are those of a young man who is entering the field of religion. It is these same thoughts that created some of the great works of religious art in the past. One of the great enigmas of our time is the dearth of great religious art. perhaps in young men like Don we can find the answer: ' we pray that our young men od not lose or un- the spirit is there but the way and the bow is dersell their dreams. Don is a student at South something left to .the future. Knowing all too Salem High and works part time at Salem Gen- well the present and very sceptical of the future, era!

Hi, there we were just look ing down from the mezzanine bal cony upon the new lawn furni ture, arriving daily now. This weather (at last!) and the sight of the yard lights and barbecues are enough to set us drooling for kabobs and summer salads on the terrace. The yard lights are the clever est things can be stuck in the ground anywhere, or put in a standard for placement on patio or lanaL They are for candles, or wired for electricity. Get some special light bulbs for anti-bug relaxation, and enjoy those out door meals. The swings are up, lounge mattresses are piled high in all the gay new colors. I'm mad about the while cast iron rococco settee and chair group perfect for the dark green background of evergreen foliage, and a conversation item for any lovely garden. The furniture can not b hurt by years of exposure to weather, and is a pretty group to leave out all year. The imported rattan furniture from the Orient is nice for the covered patio or garden room There are game tables which of course double for dining morn ing, noon and night. Settees and chairs mcst comfortable for re laxingmove the TV out to the garden room for the summer! ; If you're really going to enjoy your patio this summer, it's im portant to give some thought now to the convenience of serv ing meals. Plenty of trays for carrying foods, TV trays for each chair, a rolling serving cart for stacking plates and serving buf fet meals. If you're buying a bar becue ana rotissene this year, it's important that it be on wheels in Order to move it with the shift of the breezes. It simply "makes' the party to see the roast or fowl sizzling and bubbling as it turns on the spit! You know it is said that anticipation is half of any pleasure. Do come in and see what you can dc to insure a successful summer by making your patio not oniy pretty, but comfortable and enticing. After two years of cool summers we're bound to have a really lovely summer season make the most of it! See you next week. Mary Thomas Meisel Interior Decorator Roberts Bros.
