More than 200 girls from southern Oregon attended the event, spon sored by the Rogue Valley Girl March 15 Is Closing Date for Gallery Show The Halverson collection will remain at Rogue gallery, 220 West Main street, through Friday, March 15, according to Ben Trowbridge Jr., ex hibit chairman for Rogue Val ley Art Association. The gal lery is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 12 noon until 4 p.m. countries were worn by Girl Scout council. and no charge is made to view the exhibit. Lloyd Halverson, owner of the collection, spoke for a group of association members last week. The young man, who has been collecting for only a relatively short time. said he began because "I simply wanted to collect, so I did. Collecting works of art (he is little interested in con temporary art) will remain my passion until I die." Began With One The art lover said he began with one painting and then added others when opportun ity and money afforded. He trades and bargains with dealers and other collectors. He advised those who want to start an art collection to take advantage of trends - if interest is low in one painter or type of art, buy those not in vogue since they usually are less costly. Mr. Halverson says his tastes are catholic and that he "takes whatever is avail able." He believes that this is a good practice for the col lector with limited funds and the beginning collector. He pointed out that it is difficult and costly to collect in one area- say the French impres sionists - since this narrows the field and opportunities. In addition to oils, drawings, etc., Mr. Halvorson collects antique furniture, silver and china, wood carvings, minia tures, medallions, etc. He displayed a number of these, including a small pot tery rooster and a blue and white plate which date back to the Ming dynasty in China. The speaker pointed out that those living in this area have an opportunity to col lect works by Pacific North west painters. These contem porary artists have been cap turing the attention of critics and others in all parts of the nation. He described how he had acquired some of his paintings he owns a Van Dyke, a Goya and a Romoney, works by Modigliana, Turner, Poussin, Degas and others. One large, valuable work he acquired by trading, offering the dealer 14 smaller paintings, several pieces of antique turnuurc and an assortment of old sil ver as well as some cash. The collector said he had acquired his knowledge of art by reading, widely and inces-: santly, and by conversations with critics, experts and deal- j ers. He supplied some infor-1 mation about the manner in ; which experts authenticate a painting, saying they Judge by detail, testing of such i things as the varnish for age, i examination of markings, lettering and seals, etc. Works by Goya, for instance, can be authenticated partly by the fact that it was his custom to begin a work by putting a layer of gold leaf p3int on the canvas. Mr. Halverson is also speak ing for other groups during gallery tours. The collector was introduc ed by Mr. Trowbridge, who said that it is virtually im possible for a gallery as small as Rogue gallery to have the opportunity to display such a collection. He expressed the gratitude of the association for Mr. Halvorson's generosity. Airman, Cathedral Discussed Ashland -"A Thousand Springs" by Anna Chan Chen nault is the autobiographical account by the famous air man's Chinese wife. This was the book reviewed Monday afternoon for Ashland Study club by Mrs. Ruth Dews. Claire Lee Chennault, American general who in 1941, organized the American Volunteer Group in China, better known as the Flying Tigers, had ever been a stormy petrel and a constant goad to the U.S. military from his earliest service in World War I. His advanced ideas on in terceptor warning and his conflict with Gen. "Vinegar" Joe Stillwcll during the China-Burma-India war re sulted in his resignation and an invitation from General Chiang Kai-shek to set up a Chinese warning system and to inspect Chinese troops. The love of the middle aged American flyer and the young Chinese woman journalist is told less in words than in implication as Anna follows their brief 11 years of mar riage until his death. Mrs. Chennault writes that the General saw the Commu nist conspiracy when others were blind and foresaw the Korean war and the take-over of Asia following the fall of China. He knew bitter frustra tion during the last years of his life together with untold happiness with his wife and two daughters. Posthumous recognition has been given to Claire Chennault both in China and the United States. National Cathedral Mrs. Ralph Burgess pre sented a half-hour talk on the National Cathedral in Wash ington, D.C., showing numer ous colored pictures of the church which has been in process of construction for more than 50 years and which may not be completed for an other half century. She de scribed the beauty of its stained glass windows, carved altars and statues, delicately designed chandeliers and vaulted ceilings. The National Cathedral was chartered by Congress in 1907 as an interdenomination al church and is said to be the purest example of Gothic architecture in this country. The main sanctuary has seating capacity of 3,000, while there are seven smaller chapels including one in mini ature for children. In the crypts are entombed such fa mous Americans as Admiral Dewey, Woodrow Wilson and John Foster Dulles. On Mt. St. Alban, a hill side overlooking the Potomac and the nation's capitol the cathedral, also known as St. Peter and St. Paul and the seat of the Protestant Epis copal diocese, belongs not only to the nation but to the world. Hostess for the meeting was Mrs. N. H. Dillon, 847 Garden Way. In the absence of the president, Mrs. R. D. Lamb, the program chairman, Mrs. Faith McCullough, presided.
