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.

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.

New York - (VTD - The

Two persons die; three

So the news went last
weekend, has gone on all
winter, goes on each winter.
The National Fire Protec
tion association, Boston, said
its studies indicate that 50 or
more per cent of dwelling fire
deaths occur in the cold
weather months November
through February.
The number one reason for
the fires: Defective, misused
heating equipment.
Test ourself
What can you do to make
your home and family fire-
safe?
NEPA suggested a Q. & A.
test on some of the ordinary
Hazards, tvery 'no answer
is an invitation for fire to in
vade your home," 'said NEPA,
which pointed out that home
fires number close to 800
each day in the United States.
Consider the heating and
cooking departments.
-Are furnaces, stoves and
smokepipes far enough away
from combustible walls and
ceilings, and in good repair?
Is your heating equipment
checked annually by a serv
iceman?
If you have portable room
heaters in your home, do you
see that they are properly
maintained and located?
-do you make sure there
are no clothes, curtains or
furniture near any stove,
heater or fireplace in the
house? Is a screen in front of
the fireplace when it is in
use? Are coal and wood ashes

kept in covered metal con
tainers away from anything
that might catch fire?
Should Check Chimneys
-Do you have the chimney
cleaned and checked reg
ularly to insure against chim
ney fires?
-For safety against chim
ney and other sparks, is your
roof covering fire retardant?
In the matter of electricity:
-Do you see that extension
cords are never run under
rugs or hooked over nails?
-Is the right size fuse, 15
amps for lighting circuits, in
each socket in the fuse box?
Do you use a new fuse-never
substitute - after each short
circuit?
-Are your refrigerator and
other appliance motors
cleaned regularly?
-Is your television antenna
installed where it cannot fall
across power lines? Is it
equipped with a properly
grounded arrestor?
On good housekeeping:
-Do you keep rubbish
cleaned out of the attic, base
ment, closets, garage, and
yard?
-Is paint kept in tightly
closed metal containers?
Storage of Liquids
-Are gasoline and other
flamable liquids stored in
safety cans and kept well
away from both heat and
children?
-Have you made it a rule
never to use flammable liq
uids like gasoline or kerosene
for cleaning clothes or start
ing fires?
If there's a smoker in the
family:
-Is smoking in bed strictly
against the rule in your
home?
-Are you careful how you
dispose of cigarettes, cigar
and pipe ashes? Are there
plenty of large ashtrays
throughout the house?
-Are matches kept out of
the reach of the children?
Three-fourths of all fires
are the result of carelessness,
says the National Board of
Fire Underwriters. But in case
of fire, follow two rules. One.
get everybody out of the
I house. Two, call the fire de
I partment.
