Because of a pro posed bylaw change, dividing the state into nine regions in stead of the present eight re gions, the committee has pre pared two slates of officers, one of which will be present ed at the state convention in Medford, April 26 to 28. In the event that the proposed bylaw changes are voted down, the convention body will vote on slate one. Ac ceptance of the bylaw pro posals will find the delegates voting on slate two. The difference in the two slates is necessitated by the geographical changes in the proposed regions. As an ex ample, Region V which now consists of Douglas, Josephine and Lane Councils, will be made up of Benton, Lincoln, Linn and Lane Councils. Many people throughout the state would thus be residing within a different region if Serigraphy Demonstrated For Artists Warren Holbrook spoke for a meeting of Southern Ore gon Society of Artists held Wednesday night at Girls Community club. Mr. Hol brook, art instructor at Crater High school, gave the history of serigraphy and spoke of the difference in the new tech nique of silk screening. This he demonstrated with the help of Miss Wanda Smith, Miss Barbra Walters, Miss Marilyne Hixson and Miss Patti Straus, students from Crater High school. Mr. Holbrook said the new technique had come into be ing as late as 1941, and that it was not used by artists until 1938. The original methods of serigraphy have prevailed in the art world for centuries and were originated in Greece. He said that the silk screening methods of today are being widely used in tex tile industries, wallpaper printing, glassware manufac ture, for the making of greet ing cards, bill boards, and many other commercial fields. The demonstration included the use of liquid tusche and block out method, the lacquer film process and the crayon method. Prints of each were shown in the different stages of completion.
