Thoughts of painting the old Lyden house, landmark building on the corner of California and Oregon streets in Jacksonville, had been tempting Mr. Wertz for some time. However, sum mertimes are not good for sketch ing the house, since much of the antiquity and beauty. of the old building are hidden when the big maple in front is leaved out, and winter weather, when fin gers are stiff from cold, isn't conducive to sketching, either. But a bright spring day is just right, so artist Wertz lost no time in whipping out his pad and pencil. With an artist's eye for that "extra touch," he added an old "codger" with a cane, and a dog. So realistic was it that the proprietress of the Nugget con fectionery exclaimed "Why that's Grandpa W. who comes in every week, stomps around on the floor with his cane and says 'Ain't my copy of the Saturday Evening Post here yet?' " The painting, along with an other one of Jacksonville, are being displayed In the window of Barkers store in Medford. The second one is titled "Amy Dow's Backyard in Old Jacksonvillee" and shows an old structure in which a combination grocery store, clothing store, eating and rooming nouse was maintained by Mrs. Dow in the days when Jacksonville was still the county seat. "I sure love that old town of Jacksonville-it s an artist's para dise," says Mr. Wertz. j The picture of the Lyden house is to be sent to Portland later to be shown. CALENDAR Thursday 6:30 p. m.
