MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
Committee of Fine Arts for
Chamber Urged at Roundtablei
A member of the board of
the Rogue Valley Art associa
tion challenged the Medford
Chamber of Commerce Mon
day to establish a committee
of fine arts which might serve
as an "esthetic watchdog" on
various projects in the com
munity. The speaker, Robertson E.
Collins, told the luncheon
meeting of the Roundtable
that such a committee could
"contribute materially to the
Improvement of our communi
ty." He suggested that one func
tion of such a group might
be to pass on, or evaluate
from an esthetic point of
view any proposed major
structure or physical improve
ments planned within the city.
Suggests 'Art Permit'
Perhaps an "art permit"
could be issued, he said, much
as now contractors must ob
tain building permits before
beginning a project. Collins
painted out that such a pro
cedure would not be new, that
San Francisco, for example,
had for years practiced such
a policy.
Also, the committee could . businessman often "wastes his
operate as a panel of experts money by buying badly."
to whom the city and other Art is an integral part ofi
individuals or agencies "could business, he said. "Whenever
turn for advice," just as now
a traffic safety committee is
consulted on traffic problems
in the city.
Collins urged the business
men in the audience to work
with the already established
groups in the area interested
in art in order to "bring real
ly superior art pieces to Med
ford." "Sensitivity and under
standing of good art is usual
ly not an innate thing," he
said, "it is learned, and the
best way to learn is by being
exposed to art in its many
forms."
Real Center of Art
Collins said the business
people arc "the real center of
art in the community." It is
the businessman who spends
money on art, who makes art
decisions continually in the
everyday operation of his
business.
But Collins criticized the
business people for "using,
but abusing art." He said the
you take out an ad in a news
paper, or have some new sta
tionery printed, or determine
what kind of lighting to put
in your store, you make some
kind of an art decision," the
speaker said.
Cculd Waits Monty
"If the ad is dull, or the
lighting inadequate, or the
stationery ineffective, you
have wasted your money."
Collins urged the business
community to take advantage
of the "talented specialists we
have here in Medford, spe
cialists who are now not be
ing used to the extent they
should be."
"Art is a tool," he said, "by
means of which we can all
improve our lives, as well as
the business climate of our
community."

i How Could Trix Know She
Was Gelling Close to Homt?
It was late al night. The
world was in complete dark
ncss. The only visible objects
J alongside the highway were
i those that were illuminated
momentarily by the car s
headlights. The tires hummed
steadily, sounding the same
as during the last 40 miles.
The car was still a good
mile from home when the
lone occupant of the back
seat, a small fox-terrior dog,
awoke from her nap that had
begun nearly an hour ago,
stretched and became alert,
evidently anxious to get
home.
The driver of the car heard
the dog getting up and said
to his companion, "Trix
knows shes nearly home."
The landscape flashed past.
The same thought struck both
occupants simultaneously -'HOW?"
By what sense of
timing or position could the
dog know that she was near
ing home?
Different at Night
Most of us readily admit
the world looks different at
night. Many folks become
lost when they can see no
familiar landmarks. Wc are. I
of course, familiar with the 1
roads we travel often. The
landmarks alongside the high
way indicate our position. We
know what tree, billboard or
building is on or near the
corner where we turn. Wc ac
cept, as a matter of course,
our well-traveled route to
work without consciously
thinking about it; we know
exactly where we are at all
times.
On a strange road, how
ever, and at night, we must
watch carefully. The most
travel-conscious driver often
makes a mistake, and may
even become lost. Our sense
of position is seldom acute
enough for us to always know
where we are when we are
in strange territory.
The dog in the back scat of
this fast-moving car had
never traveled this particular
road before, and had. in fact,
been asleep ever since the
trip began. Nothing would be
recognizable to the animal,
even if she could have seen
out any of the car's windows,
yet she gave every indication
of knowing she was nearly
home. The human occupants
of the car discussed the little
dog's behavior, finally half
agreeing the animal just hap
pened to awaken at a time
when the car was within a
mile or so of home. However,
the question still crawled,
like a worm in an apple,
around in the mind of the
dog's owner. He decided to
try an experiment.
A couple of days later, in
the evening, the man and dog
went for a drive. The little
animal in the scat beside him
became drowsy in the sway of
the car and soon curled up
and went to sleep. The man
drove on, deciding on a
round-about way home over
a road he knew was entirely
new and strange to his sleep
ing pet.
The car maintained its ac
' customed speed. Within a few
miles of home the man began
to note carefully the dog's ac
tions, By the speedometer, it
was about one half mile to
home when the dog woke up,
stretched, yawned and began
wagging her stump of tail.
Evidently she was anticipat
ing an early arrival into the
home garage.
With variations and com
plete changes of routes, the
experiment was continued for
several weeks. And every j
umc, oy some mysterious
sense of position, the dog al
ways knew when she was ap
proaching her home.
Try it sometime with your
own dog, but don't bother to
ask anyone for an explana
tion, for whomever you ask
won't know either.

Iron and Steel Seen
In Many Furnishings
The wedding of iron and
steel has created the perfect
furniture for indoor and out
door modern living.
This furniture - decorative,
utilitarian and functional - is
equally at home in sunshine
or shade, acording to a lead
ing design director.
Spanish Trend
Baroque Spanish furniture,
now enjoying great populari
ty, is superbly decorative with
its light and airy feeling, ac
cording to Joseph Arkus of
the Gallo Original Iron Works
of New York. He pointed out
that the Spanish were the
originators of magnificent fili
gree work.
Unlike most wood, which
can only be used indoors, iron
and steel furniture can be
moved outdoors al the first
breath of a warm spring
breeze.
Furniture of this type is a
lifetime investment since it is
indestructible. It is warp
proof, chip-proof and there's
no worry about the glue dry
ing out or veneer peeling as
with wood. Modern iron and
steel furniture is sandblast
ed and then flame - sprayed
with molten zinc to give it a
uniform coating that resists
corrosion and rust.
Steel Used
Steel is used for extra
strength without added
weight, as in the steel mesh
backs of chairs and steel tub
ing in the tables. The furni
ture has a delicate appearance,
but it is constructed as strong
as a bridge.
To exploit fully the beauty
of iron and steel furniture,
Arkus offered these decorat
ing suggestions:
When used indoors or out,
keep walls and fences cither
white or natural, such as brick
or wood. Let the furniture
and upholstery supply the col

ture color schemes can be
