When 85-year-old Frederick Page died alone at his tiny
monumental oil painting of Venice, which he had seen In his youth and had nevar iorgotten. This
picture of the huge canvas was taken under difficult circumstances, became it was necessary to
take It from too close in the tiny room. The blur at csnter left Is not a fault in the painting, but
a reflection caused when the flashlight bulb flared from close up. Page, a painter and decorator
by trade, spent many years perfecting the painting.
Aged Scene-Designer, House Painter
Preserves Youthful Memory of Venice
By MARY JANE JENKINS
Venice in all its pre-1914
glory came to life on the walls
of a shabby two-room house on
Klamath Falls' Sargent avenue
this week, when the worldly
goods of Frederick E. Page,
found dead November 28, were
carted away. Elaborately framed
and mounted on the wall, was
the oil painting on which Page
had spent the best years of his
life.
"The Riva, Venice" had been
carefully lettered over the tre
mendous canvas. . Here, painted
with light, clean trokes and a
loving care for detail, is the
Venice Page saw in his youth
and carried in his mind through
a lifetime filled with such di
verse jobs as scenery-designing
and house-painting.
Page,' 85 when he died, was
born in Darlington, England. He
was educated in a monastery
there,' ' .and traveled widely
through France, Germany and
Italy before he arrived in the
United States. A painter and
decorator by trade, he painted
scenery in the old Opera house
in Chicago in the 80 s; came
west to Portland where he was
employed in decorating the
Grand theatre in 1908, and ar
rived in. Klamath Falls in 1910
with his wife, now Mrs. Bessie
A. Thompson of California.
The house where he spent the
last years of his life alone with
his dog, is crammed with evi
dence of his varied interests.
Here he had collected carpen
tering machines of every de
scription and built clock cases,
metal -bound - boxes, shelves,
frames. Clocks by the score
stood about the room; and a
trombone, a. flute, piccolo and
old-fashioned organ.
Rumor has it that Page was
offered from 8500 to $1000 for
bis monumental painting, but
it was promised to his daugh
ter, Mrs. Ethel Bairie of Min
den, Nevada, who arrived Thurs
day to claim It

The fatherland would not de
serve one quiet hour, if one
soldier on the Russian front
had to go without clothing,"
Goebbels said.
'There are innumerable ar
ticles of winter clothing at
home which we can not give
up very easily, but we can not
compare our sacrifices with
those of the soldiers in this
war winter.
"We all at nome have a

food rations are not large, they
are better than those of most

I know how necessary it
would be for you to keep what
you have, but the German sol
diers need it and they must
come first. . ."
Goebbels then gave a long
list of articles the soldiers need,
We can not send the sol
diers home yet," he said. "That
is only possible after the war Is
over, but we can send to them
a piece of their homeland."
The propaganda chief read
an appeal by Adolf Hitler who
said the "greatest front of all
times," will be held until the
final destruction of Germany's
most dangerous enemy.
