home-grown as a matter of
convenience, taste, economy,
and availability, Steward ex
plained. Lemon balm, catnip,
lavender, hoarhound, sage, ox-
eye daisy, and feverfew were
among the aromatic herbs
grown in great-grandmother's
garden.
The exotic touch was added

New York - (UPD - Gwen
Lux is a girl carrying a torch
-for art.
A scuptress who weighs
just barely
120 pounds in
overalls, she
works with
tools usually
with men
and muscle.
Her current
specialty of
sculpting in
Gy Famey stainless steel
calls for welder's helmet,
acetylene t o r ch, hammer,
pliers, hacksaw and heavy
leather gloves. !
"When I meet people at
parties, they're surprised to
find I'm not a hefty female,"
said the artist, a native of
Birmingham, Mich.
"I'm more the Dior type
than the Greenwich Villager,"
she said, and laughted. Our
cameraman decided she had
the voice and looks of June
Allyson.
Miss Lux's latest pride and
joy in the metals field is a
67-foot stainless steel sculp
ture, called "Vapor Trails."
The airy, three-dimensional
sculpture weighing about 800
pounds graces the front of
Aviation High school, Long
Island City, N.Y. The work
has just won her the Munici
pal Art Society's citation for
"contribution to. art in the
city of New York."
Works From Sketch
"Vapor Trails" started on a
sketching pad as do most of
her designs, the artist said.
Then small-scale models in
steel were made for the okay
of architects, the city fathers
and others.
Once she had the commis
sion it then was a matter of
moving herself and tools from
her studio to a factory where
larc ? sections could be cut
and forged from the model.
It is her first work in steel,
she said, but she needed
something which fitted ' the
jet age and also "wouldn't
deteriorate ... in an indus
trial area."
The 67-foot sculpture gave
her far less trouble than one
of her earlier successes an
aluminum figure of "Eve"
clad only in a wisp of
drapery.
That was back in the 1930's,
when Rockefeller Center was
being built. Miss Lux, new to
New York, did an "Eve"
which art critics applauded.
But, she said, " certain Mr;
Roxy of the theater family
didn't." .
Vanishing Eva
Miss ' Lux said "Eve was
called too modern ... to ab
stract. She and two other
wor' one by Robert Laurent
and the other by Wililam Zor
ach, disappeared one night."
Eventually they were locat
ed and became a part of the
giant office center but the
furor at the time hit the front
pages "and the publicity
didn't .hurt me a bit," said
the sculptress.-
"I remember though being
on an elevator and hearing a
woman say, 'I'm going up to
look at Eve . . . And then go
to confession
A model of "Eve" now
stands in one corner of the
artist's combined home and
studio. "See," said Miss Lux,
"the old girl isn't. abstract at
all, by today's standards of

But this week we
thought we ought
to remind you about another set
of COLORS ... the familiar red,
white and blue of the American
flag. FLAG day is coming soon . . .
June t4thto be exact ... the
day set aside as a national recog
nition of this visible symbol of
America's heritage.
Incidentally, do you know what
the colors in the flag originally
stood for? Red is for hardiness and
valour; white, for purity and in
nocence; and blue, for vigilance,
perseverance and justice. Our fore
fathers had a high conception of
the virtues they wanted to be
identified with America. They had
those qualities themselves and
wanted them to be part of the
American tradition.
To help you remember Flag Day,
we're happy to renew our annual
policy of cleaning your flag free
for this occasion. Bring it in soon!

Miss Lux said she started
sculpting as a child "with
modeling clay and just never
"stopped." She studied at the
Boston Museum school, the
Maryland Institute of Arts
and with some of the master
sculptors of Europe. After
"Eve," she won a Guggen
heim Fellowship also.
She works in all media
wood, bronze, stone, stain
less steel, glass and foam
, glass.
She has done glass murals
for office and ships interiors,
etched designs for steuben
glass, and cast in bronze the
heads of George Bernard
Shaw,. Rachmaninoff, Tos
canini and Hildegarde. The
last two were done from life,
she said.
Hildegarde was so happy
with her "head" she had Miss
Lux run up a batch of "little
heads" in terra -cotta to send
her ' friends as Christmas
presents.
