Miss Ady
Speaker
For Group
At the July meeting of the
Southern Oregon society of
Artists, Miss Marion Ady, art
instructor of Southern Oregon
college, Ashland, was guest
speaker. Miss Ady selected
nine pictures to be exhibited
at Purucker's Piano house
The works are by Ethyl Hix-
son, Dorothy Eskew, Marie
Starks, Chris Binker, Harry
Marx, Arlita Pletsch, Mrs. G.
C. Corum, and George John
son.
Miss Ady spoke about non-
objective painting and the two
ways of approach. First is the
accidental approach, she said,
which is free style of marks
and shapes, and the contrived
approach, by actually taking
a selection of combinations.
She showed how the Heck-
man approach uses different
intervals, lengths, and direc
tions, how Eugene Steinhof
starts with a doodle, using va
riety in size, shape, area and
form and the style of Jean
Vards by his use of two main
colon.
Miss Ady said the things to
work for in painting are color,
form, line and texture.
The guests were Miss Ady,
Miss Alice Rogers, a cousin
of Miss Ady from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, Mrs. Allen
Smith, Mrs. Ruby Ralston,
and Mrs. Joyce Gariason all
of Medford.
Hostesses were Mrs. Jack
Mitchell and Mrs. Tom Staley.
The Society has a rotating
exhibit. this summer at Frake
and Smith store. Each week
one picture by a member of
the group la exhibited, and
the public is invited to visit
the store to see the paintings.

Student Writes of Walking
Craig Philips, Medford high
school graduate who studied
at Edinburgh university
Scotland the past year, has
traveled through much
Europe since going aboard
with the aid of a Fulbright
scholarship
The student, son of Dr. and
Mrs. S. E. Philips, majored in
history at the University of
Oregon and studied philoso
phy and psychology at Edin
burgh
He is to return to Medford
in September and will enter
the University of Chicago on
a teaching scholarship in Oc
tober,
The young man is hikin
through parts of Europe this
summer.
Following his earlier travels
through Belgium and France,
the student wrote of his de
light with the Belgium town
of Brugge. He said:
"In the dusk I could make
out three lofty towers, and
since trees shut other build
ings of the town from view.
this trio seemed to stand
alone, rising for no apparent
reason out of the hazy low
land plain.
Town Casts Spell
"It was fairly dark when I
reached the streets of the
town itself, and as I stepped
onto the narrow sidewalk
with a face already formed
for a happy smile and an ex
cited breath, which was only
partly due to the brisk pace.
I became a surprised but will
ing victim of the town's spell
of unreality - Brugge , was
fairytale.
"A moment's attention to
where those big feet were go
ing revealed that the sidewalk
and street were paved with
diamond shaped stones. Look
ing above the bright shop win
dows one noticed that al
though they had two stories,
the houses appeared no taller
than bungalows
Each was of a different
hue than its neighbors, and
boasted some variation in
style of its stepped gable or
window moldings. Rows of
lights were stretched back and
forth over head and crossed in
a more elaborate pattern at
each corner
After visiting Ghent, where
he saw the famous altar piece
(the adoration of the mystic
lamb) by Hubert and Jan van
Eyck, young Philips traveled
to Paris,
Making part of the trip with
the operator of a camion
(truck), the student described
the ride as follows
"Though he said that it was
not a beautiful part of France.
the pale greens and browns of
the flat sparsely treed and
housed countryside impressed
me. As we moved south, the
coal mounds gave way com
pletely to farm land and the
autobahn turned into an older
but more scenic highway.
Fields Expansive
I was much surprised
at the expansive fields which
we traveled past -1 recall few
fences separating the cultivat
ed strips. The only buildings
between the small villages
were self - contained farm
houses-barn-tool shed clusters
. . passed an occasional farm
er guiding his plow along a
line of newly turned soil be
hind a two or three horse
team ..."
On his arrival in Paris the
traveler wrote:
"I made my way to the
Metro and quickly learned
that, like the tube in London,
it is far simpler to use than
New York's subway. After
looking up a 'friend of a
friend' only to find that our
mutual acquaintance had left
town that morning, I walked
wide-eyed and limber necked
down to la rive gauche' (the
left bank) where I found a
cheap room (like all cheap
rooms, at the top of a long
flight of stairs) in a small
hotel near le pont (bridge) St.
Michel.
"What does the city look
like? Three days aren't much
to go on, but one is safe in
saying that it has a lighter
mood than London or New
York. Its wide streets and
sub-skyscraper sized buildings
reveal more blue than one
sees in New York and the sky
hangs less closely over one's
ears than in the foggy capital
to the north.
"... Walking through the
famous Tuilleries gardens one
almost feels as if they were a
part of an art gallery (though
perhaps this is merely a sign
that he's still a stranger in
Paris).
"Although the famous build
ings of the city don't soar as
high as those on Manhattan,
their immense size is no less
impressive. The Louvre is a
case in point - It's the largest
palace ever built. Or possibly
their size is striking because
one's view of them is often
unobstructed.
"The Louvre, Les Invalides
(the soldiers hospital which
houses Napoleon's tomb),
Notre Dame, Le Pantheon -these
are bordered by parks
which allow a long unob
structed view ...
Domes of Marble
"Impressive are the dazzling
white" marble domes and tow
ers of the bascilica of Sacre
Coeur, which sits at the tip of
the old artist's quarter, Mont
martre ...
"And what of Paris' art?
Three days left time for only a
few hours in the Louvre and
the Musee d'Art Moderne. If
one prefers looking at pictures
in 'Life' to reading the schol
arly accounts of current news
in the Now York Times Sun
day edition, one will prefer
the Louvre to history text
books. .
"This thought is heresy
among contemporary art crit
ics, but for one who is low
brow enough to enjoy paint
ing as an expression of human
experience, this museum of
fers much more than man's
love of beauty alone
"With this reactionary
thought I'll skip over'Venus de
Milo, Mona Lisa, the hall of
wall-sized Rubens. et. al. and
pass on to the "purist, haven-
the modern art museum.
"The splashuig undulled pig
ments which characterize so
much post-impressionist paint
ing cover the walls of this
musee. Many ot tne works
were interesting to me; at
least an equal number left the
thought, "why would one do
that?"
The continual use of pure
pigments from all three corn
ers of the color chart seems
to be like singing at the top
of one's lungs it leave little
room for interesting variations
and soon becomes oppressive.
This general characteristic
of the majority of the works
here helps one appreciate
more subtle 'low key' paint
ings such as those of Bracque.
Another artist who appealed
to me was the famous color-
ist Matisse. He has no qualms
about bright hues but uses
them (I think) in a more con
trolled way; viewed from a
distance of 40 to 50 feet sev
eral of his canvasses are
among my favorites in the
Paris galleries.
Sentiment Apparent
But for all its art,- his
torical buildings and famous
monuments, Paris' character is
still most apparent in its
people. Through the visitor's
j-mble of preconceptions and
reactions of utter surprise
comes a realization that he has
left the serious propriety-
minded north and is now faced
with the latin sentiment which
exalts 'joie de vivre',
"Like all good generations,
the proof of this one lies in
the exceptions made to it - in
the recognition that all people
are alike in many ways and
further that each culture con
tains many elements which
seem to contradict the term
which best characterizes it
Certainly o n e (wouldn't
think of jbie de vivre in con
nection with a city which has
utterly homeless citizens
people with no roof over their
heads, whose usual practice is
to sleep over the hot air vents
from the subway. Have you
ever seen an old woman
stretched out asleep on the
sidewalk?" .
Nor does this latin temper
see.n related (save perhaps in
a negative way - indifference)
to the 'functionare' mentality
of the gendarmes who mean
der about with submachine
guns in hand (these are troubl
ed times) or run a poor for
eigner away from his rendez
vous spot under the Arch of
Triumph to make way for a
ceremony by a French version
of the American Legion run
him away without a word,
oblivious to his protestations
that he is a stranger and must
meet a friend here.

saw there was no chance of

ward life than the way its
women look after themselves?
On this point a walk down
the Champs Elysee is worth a
thousand of the best chosen
words.
"Without passing judgment
about what French girls (as,
say, compared with the Eng
lish) start out with, one can't
help admiring the finished
product.
And even if the second
look is a little disappointing
it remains true that the sec
ond look was evoked. Con
templating this side of the
French temperament, sooner
or later brings the Folies Ber-
gere to mind.
"Only this comment; though
one may not be shocked at the
Folies, I don't believe he will
escape surprise. Why? Is it
because, as in French cuisine,
the somewhat refined ap
proach bespeaks a long and
studied appreciation of the
subject? Qui Sait?

we're used to differences in

attention as unusual."

The council was organized
21 years ago to encourage
manufacturers to child-test
toys before they went on the

mote the sales of playthings
the year round instead of just

Freud said that today "98
per cent of the manufacturers
support it on a voluntary
basis." A panel of six educa
tors, headed by Dr. Emma
Sheehy, professor of education
at Teachers college, Columbia
university, meets every two
weeks to judge new toys on
the basis of safety, construc

Freud said eight to 10 thou

Mrs. Nixon discussed her

afternoon.
Late in the afternoon Mrs.
Nixon joined her husband and
First Deputy Premier Frol

the Neva river to Peterhof,
Peter the Great's summer res

Kozlov engaged in peaceful

Besides Mrs. Nixon and
Mrs. Kozlov, the group in

Mrs. Llewellyn Thompson,
wife of the U. S. Ambassador
to the Soviet Union.
At the end of one hour and
40 minutes, Mrs. Nixon's lip

were in perfect place.
While Mrs. Nixon roamed
the rooms filled with Titians
and Rembrandts, Mrs. Kozlov
headed for the nearest chair
to sit down.
"Oh," she moaned, and
pointed to her white shoes
with thick medium heels.
Mrs. Nixon's shoes had pencil-thin
high heels.
The vice president's wife
spotted Mrs. Kozlov resting
and went over to comfort her.
"Aren't you tired?" one of
the woman journalists with
the party hopefully asked
Mrs. Nixon. .
"Oh, my, no," laughed Mrs.
Nixon.
Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Kozlov
appeared quite friendly. A
journalist agreed that the
stout Mrs. Kozlov had a pretty
