Miss Fowler's Work
Honored in Mid-West
Salem friends are interested
showing the work of Miss Constance Fowler, formerly of this city
and now with the art department at Albion college, Albion, Mich.
A newspaper clipping from
was highly complimentary of
work in Memorial auditorium
there in late October. The ex
hibit included oils, watercolors
and wood engravings done by
Miss Fowler. Says the news
paper article in part:
. . . Miss Fowler is no dil
letante, she is at home in three
mediums; perhaps she is a print
maker first, then a water col-
orist, and her last might be
oil . . . In her black and white
prints she displays a sensitive
feeling for balance. There is a
softness and a tecture to her
work not frequently found in
prints. As you look at her
prints more closely you are able
to see an atmospheric space be
tween objects.
"Miss Fowler can take the
bareness of an empty church and
turn it into an interesting ar
rangement of light and dark
through her sense of pattern and
relationships . . . For those who
seek the 'pretty' in art, and
the others who enjoy the 'pic
turesque," this exhibit will not
appeal. This is the bone and
sinew of art experience, the
painter who forever seeks new
ways to say the things that have
been important through all art
ages line, form, color and space
organization . . . Miss Fowler
paints direct with forceful brush
strokes of great strength; there
is mood and character in every
piece she shows, be it abstract
or realistic. Her composition is
always sound, always interest
ing . . . Miss Fowler's color
sense is a pleasant muted one.
It is intensely dramatic . ,
Western names feature many
of the titles in Miss Fowler's
exhibit "Calapooya Hills,'
"Tillamook Burn," and "Wal
port," among the watercolors;
"Yamhill Block House," "Eola
School," "The Willamette Riv
er, Jason Lee s Home," all
among the wood-engravings.
Other Work Acclaimed
The Womens Athletic associa
tion at Albion college recently
presented Martha Graham and
dance company with Erick
Hawkins in a special program.
Miss Fowler designed the cover
page for the program, a block
print of the dancer's head. After
the recital, Martha Graham pick
ed up as many of the programs
as she could, the cover making
a hit with her.
Miss Fowler's work was also
was shown at the Detroit In
stitute show. A total of 208
entries was selected from 1700,

A Liver Dish
Not too many years ago, liver
was eaten by only the family
tabby. Today it s a favorite with
many of us who not only enjoy
its excellent flavor, but also
recognize its value as a nutri
tive food. Liver walks away with
honors because of its high iron
content, top quality protein, and
rich amounts of vitamins A and
B. As for liver's flavor, here's
a page from the French chefs
which liver is served with
brown butter, lemon juice and
parsley.
Liver, Continental Style
1 pound sliced beef or calve's
liver Vi to 'a cup margarine or
butter
Lemon juice
Parsley
Peel off outside membrane of
liver with sharp knife. Melt
margarine or butter until hot.
but not brown, and in it cook
liver until lightly browned on
both sides. Remove liver to hot
plate and keep in warm place.
Heat margarine or butter until it
turns light brown. Sprinkle liver
with lemon juice, pour a little
brown butter over each slice,
sprinkle with chopped parsely
and serve at once.
To make cranberry juice for a
cocktail, boil two cups of the
berries with two cups of water
until the berries are soft. Put
them through a sieve, sweeten
them with a half cup of sugar
and add a dash of salt Chill and
add the juice to a cup of cold
gingerale just before serving.
