Mona Lisa Debut Marred
As Microphones Go Dead
By HELEN THOMAS
Washington-(UPli-Two thou
sand enthusiastic dignitaries
gathered to behold the Mona
Lisa Tuesday night, and in
the hubbub that ensued the
famous lady's smile might
almost have been a smirk.
The microphones went
dead, forcing President Ken
nedy to shout his barbed
witticisms; the elevator
failed, forcing him and his
family to walk, and glaring
glass obscured the painting.
Most of the elegantly clad
congressmen, Cabinet mem
bers and diplomats who at
tended the American debut
of Da Vinci's masterpiece
by invitation only neither
saw the painting nor heard
what was said about it.
Miss Great Deal
They missed a great deal.
The officials on the platforms
by the painting didn't miss
too much, though. When the
restive art lovers began whis
pering amongst themselves,
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
rose by the painting to an
nounce apologetically that
"the acoustics in the room arc
so good that the private re
marks made in the rear arc
amplified in the front."
But the acoustics apparent
ly worked one way only.
With the microphones dead,
French Minister of Culture
Andre Malraux's poetic trib
ute to the Mona Lisa was
altogether lost.
Kennedy fared somewhat
better. Resorting to a shout
ing campaign style of ora
tory, he heaped praise on the
painting and on France, and
remarked that the Mona Lisa
was the "second lady" the
people of France had sent the
United States, although she
would not stay as long as the
first the Statue of Liberty.
Barbs Thrown In
Then he turned to some
barely veiled barbs on
France's desire to become an
independent nuclear power.
"We in the United States
are grateful for this loan
from the leading artistic pow
er in the world, France," he
said. "In view of the recent
meeting at Nassau, I must
note further that this painting
has been kept under careful
French control, and that
France has even sent along
its own commander-in-chief
M. Malraux.
"And I want to make it
clear that grateful as we are
for this painting, we will
continue to press ahead with
the effort to develop an in
dependent artistic force and
power of our own."
Set Meeting
St. Peter's Lutheran Wom
en's Missionary league will
meet Thursday, January 10 at
I2:.t0 p.m., in the church for
a potluck luncheon. Program
topic will be, "Keep Informed."
Program Topic
For Crater Club
Is Perennials
Central Point Mrs. Ar
thur Straus conducted the pro
gram for the Crater Garden
club of Central Point, at
their first meeting of the new
year, Thursday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Fitz
gerald, 3488 New Ray road.
Following dinner, Mrs.
Straus spoke to the group, of
plants in the composite fam
ily, stating the composite fam
ily is the largest, most highly
developed, and widely distrib
uted family in the vegetable
kingdom. It consists mostly of
herbaceous plants, with green
shrubs and trees, and the flow
ers usually occur in dense
clusters opening from a cen
tral cup-shaped envelope, as
the dandelion, aster, and
Shasta daisy. The latter, Mrs.
Straus believes to be the most
important of the perennials.
The floral arrangement of
the month was also presented
by Mrs. Straus, featuring a
Hogarth curve, made of red
wood and cypress greenery,
together with artificial roses.
Delmar Smith selected roses
as the topic for discussion, ans
wering questions, and explain
ing the terms and different
names associated with them.

held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Fiesen, on Beall
lane.

99 Million Consumers Read a
Daily Newspaper Each Weekday
These readers make up the largest audience available to any advertiser in any
medium. A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it in
cludes 80 percent of all men and women over 21 . . . and 72 per cent of all teen
agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent readership can be depended
upon by advertisers because the daily newspaper is a habit with most people . . .
an established part of their everyday lives. For the national advertiser, this
amounts to almost the total market for a ny product. For the local advertiser, this
massive readership symbolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper - into
almost 9 out of 10 homes every day. No matter what the product or service an
advertiser wants to sell, more people can read about it in the pages of the daily
newspaper.
