Mr. Thollander'a art, though truly contemporary, defies categories and he belongs to no "school."

The Calif ornlan travels a good deal, and included in the exhibit at the gallery here are drawings of Norway and Yugoslavia and a large selec- Food Service Group Meets -' Members of the Una B.

His recent efforts as an illustrator were for two children's books, "Ramon" and "The Hullabaloo ABC", published by the Parnassus Press of Berkeley, Calif. He also illustrated the recently published Sunset "Gourmet Cook Book." For many years Mr. Thol lander painted almost exclu sively in casein, but recently has been working in a new medium, acrylic polymer latex. Alex Fried, art critic of the San Francisco Examiner, re cently wrote of Mr. Tholland er "In all his work he shows a rare and valuable independ ence. He isn't a man to take the easy way by hopping on the bandwagon; he builds his vision and expression from within himself."

Wednesday morning when we should have been busy with the house-wifely chores of our "day off." we spent a considerable time watching three small birds. Since the tiny birds were so small, we finally got out the opera glasses, even though they were feeding only a short distance away under the walput trees next door. These three little creatures were-doing something we had never seen birds do before-they were eating dandelion seeds. Anyhow, that's what it looked as if they were doing Each was clinging to one of the large dandelion stalks, and as they picked away at the tops, the white seed para chutes would sail away in the wind. Although we find it quite difficult to determine colors or markings on small birds , while looking through the glasses, the largest of the three appeared to have greenish- colored feathers underneath, with the remainder being grey or black. The wings had a small spot of white. His two companions were some-what smaller, and less colorful. Having heard friends and neighbors talk about "wild canaries" we got out Peterson's guide to Western birds and looked under the C's only to discover that there is no list ing for canary. Birds, we decided are very frustrating. We have trouble enough trying to Identify wild flowers, and flowers don't take wing and disappear just about the time we get ready to make mental note of color, size, etc. Now that the Rev. Tom McCamant has left the valley, we may never get up enough courage to pester anyone else with our questions about birds. Somehow, Mr. Mc Camant almost always could make sense out of our meager information. Yesterday was one of those days when we made a feeble attempt to tidy up the room at home which we call our second office. As usual, we began on one of the numerous stacks of papers and clippings, and after reading and sort ing for an hour, managed to sort out a small number for discard. The others we laid back for further reading, filing, or to send along to someone we know will be Interested. Once more we marveled at the endless variety of in formation in the modern newspaper. A clipping from the New York Times, snipped out by Pal Peg, revealed the in teresting fact that as of late March, the Democratic Na tional committee had not yet paid the musicians who played for the gala benefit performance on - the eve of President Kennedy's inauguration. The story said the musicians were getting a little restive,, but that Sam Jack Kaufman, presi dent of the Musicians' local In Washington, wasn't worried. He declared that it was nothing new to wait for wages after an' inauguration. Another clipping from the Times was all about Senator Milton R. Young, of North Dakota, the man who brought the John Birch society to national attention. The senator probably wishes that he had never heard of the society. According to the Times story, Senator Young "has one of the most impeccably orthodox conservative voting records in the Senate" and "fits the Easterner's dream, of the right wing prairie Republican." - Yet the startled Senator Young has been called a dictator by members of the society and has been warned that since he does not approve of the group's plan to do away with the income tax and other activities of the federal government, members will attempt to defeat him at his next election. Next we read that Richard Rodgers and Alan Jay Lerner, have Joined forces to write a musical. Mr. Rodgers for many years collaborated with the late Oscar Hammerstein II, mak ing up the famous team of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Mr. Lerner's partner has been the composer Frederick Loewe. Rumor has it that the two men have parted com pany: . We also read about the new French chef hired by Presi dent and Mrs. Kennedy-hls name is Rene Verdon, he is 36 years old and 1 said to have "an impressive culinary back ground here and abroad." The story also said that the new chef would be paid out of President Kennedy's personal funds, and detailed the menu which was served for a lunch eon at which Prime Minister MacmlUan had been the chief guest. It began with trout cooked in Chablis wine and served with sauce Vincent, a mayonnaise seasoned with chopped watercress, spinach and capers. The principal course was roast fillet of beef au Jus and artichoke bottoms Beaucalre filled with fondue of tomatoes simmered in butter. Giant sized asparagus followed as a separate course with sauce Maltaise, a version of Hollandaise sauce flavored with orange. . A vacherln (meringue shell) filled with raspberries and chocolate ice cream was served as dessert. The latter, dubbed desir d'avrtl by the chef, was garnished with whipped cream and candled violets. One presumes that neither of the Kennedys have yet Teached the stage where they are forced to count calories. .. The news, of course, runs heavily to the Kennedys. One reads that Mrs. Kennedy has borrowed 11 art works from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts to hang in the White House, and that the museum director says she has "discriminating tastes." This is part of the First Lady's plan to "help broaden the knowledge and appreciation of American artists and craftsmen." We tore out for tiling the Family Weekly story about Oleg Cassini, Mrs. Kennedy's designer. We like Mr. Cas slni's ideas about clothes. "To be really elegant, you need monastic dignity," is Mr. C's advice to women about cloth ing. "I think if there is one piece of advice I would readily give to women in general, it's; 'be simple.' Take off acces sories and bows Instead of adding them." Every mail brings its quota of interesting reading. We have on our desk the publication of the Parker Pen com pany, sent along by Sister Peg from Centralla, Washington. One paragraph went thusly: According to a story recently in the Washington News: Atlanta's Mayor William B. Harts-! field received a letter from the White House and returned It to the President's press secretary, Pierre Salinger, with a note saying, "Maybe I m a prize boob, but whose signa ture is this?" Salinger answered: "That happens to be the signature of John F. Kennedy ."-O. S. Headquarters Announces Girl Scout Camping Dates Low Echo.
