By OLIVE STARCHER
Adopting a custom long-used by other artists, members of the Southern Oregon So
ciety of Artists held a Greenwich Village show in the city park near the library last Sun
day. More than 300 visitors registered during the show, and the society, a new organ
ization, feels encouraged in its resolution to make the event an annual one.'
During the "show the artists' works were displayed on benches and easels, and some
worked on paintings as visitors watched. Shown (upper left) is the society president, Clif
ford Platz, 1512 Wilson place, with some of his completed paintings ond the start of a
