GIANTS ON HIGHWAYS IN NEVADA, a motorist can be confronted with the prob lem of passing a 105-foot truck-trailer, a triple-unit behe moth. In Minnesota, the law limits truck-trailer combinations to 55 feet, with only one trailer unit allowed (an exception is the southwestern part of the state where flax haulers are permitted 60-foot limits, but the number of such trucks is set at 15). The Minnesota Legislature now has a bill asking for a 65-foot limit and allowing twin trailers. A similar bill lost out in the last Legislature. Thirty-three states permit twin trailers. These are mostly western and southern states, including North Dakota and South Dakota. Wisconsin doesn’t allow them, and Iowa limits them to 60 feet. In some states, double trailers are permitted only on designated highways. The trucking industry cites figures to show the safety of the big combinations, though the railroads dispute them. Un fortunately, local governments blocked plans by the Min nesota Highway Department last year to allow test runs by double units to study safety factors. In any event, Minnesota shouldn’t be whipsawed into ap proving longer lengths and double units merely because some other states allow them. The present bill, which would limit the truck trains to disignated highways, looks like an “enter ing wedge’’ maneuver. Only a few years ago the Legislature was arguing whether to allow 50-foot truck-trailer combin ations. Passing a many-wheeled 55-foot affair in rain or slush is a harrowing experience now. The double trailer (some times called double bottoms) may be safe enough for truckers but hardly for other drivers on the road. (The Minneapolis Star) meet at the church.

Of English, Nyssa Senior High School , ----------------------------- •--------------------------------- I should like to continue this week with some material concerning Holland’s greatest painter - Rembrandt. You can view three of his masterpieces in reproduction at Peterson Furniture. Simply ask your genial guides Harold and Kay Brendle to direct you to their locations. The three reproductions are “Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer,” “Young Girl at an Open Half Door,” and “Girl with a Broom.” The Aristotle portrait was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1961 for $2,300,000, the largest amount ever paid for any painting. Certainly this is ironic in light of the poverty-stricken years spent by Rembrandt. The “Aristotle” painting, generally acknowledged to be one of his finest works, is the only one he ever painted for an important collector outside Holland. The Sicilian nobleman Don Antonio Ruffo commissioned it, and the record of its arrival in Messina in 1654 still exists. Don Antonio, whose correspondence and catalogue of his collection have been preserved and published, was delighted with the picture, and several years later asked Rembrandt to paint others for him related in subject to the “Aristotle,” Rembrandt’s first work for Ruffo, the great philosopher is already connected with both these heroes of antiquity, for in addition to the bust of Homer (possibly painted from one Rembrandt is known to have possessed- there is an image of Alexander on the medal hanging around Aristotle’s neck. When Rembrandt painted this picture he had created a style that enabled him to express the deepest emotions with compelling force. Here he has used very little range of colors, mainly browns and yellows, but within this range there is an almost infinite variety of tone, from tawny mellow golds to black. It is principally, however, the play of light and shadow that accounts for the magic and the power of the picture. Nowhere has Rembrandt evoked greater nobility, Solemnity, or tenderness than in depicting this philosopher’s lonely meditation as he lays his hand gently on the sculptured bust of the blind poet. Indeed Rembrandt is a master at portraying a mood in his portraits. The two other portraits which you can see at Peterson Furniture are equally impressive in creating a mood. The “Girl with a Broom” in her arms leans heavily on a wooden fence by a well, while the empty bucket lies overturned in the lower right corner. Its slanting position forms a contrast to the vigorous diagonal of the broomstick, with both these accents contributing to the spatial design and bringing an element of balanced movement into the composition. The red of the girl’s bodice and the gold tones in tier hair and in the bucket add to the harmony of the pictorial performance. One wonders how Rembrandt was able to weave so much mystery about so trivial a motif from daily life. But to him life was significant and mysterious in all its spheres. Again it is the human element that speaks to us first through the girl’s large and deeply shadowed eyes. They betray the slightly sorrowful mood of a child who bears the burden of heavy daily duties. I’ll not describe the third Rembrandt; why don’t you suggest to yourself what mood and meaning there is? Happy looking at Peterson Furniture, and say hello to Kay and Harold for me. WANTED!
