Thursday, June 2, 1955. .., WITH IRENE An amateur, trying not to appes amateurish, records her comments, and thoughts at the Art Show. “My, the black and white tones in that are effective. (That pretty good. It is a striking picture, | bet I wonder if it is good art? I’ve! Probably said the wrong thing.) “Very colorful oils, aren’t they? Oh, it’s a water-colour. isn’t it (How could I have mistaken it. How dumb can you get? And you say that the artist has only heen painting a year? Isn’t that amazing? Now there’s a good picture. Oh too photographic? Well, I guess so. (There I go again, said wrong thing. But those trees really look like trees which is more than you can say about.some art. Isn’t that lovely? Typical Cariboo countryside, and the artist has shown a wonderful sense of balance, hasn’t she? (I wonder if those are sonnded | ; beople, I just know what I like and don’t like. And- because of attending the shows every year, we are now the possessors of two originals which were purchased at a reasonable cost, and of which we are very proud. Last week I deplored the fact that loggers are allowed to cut timber right up to the road, and wished that the government would reserve at least 100 feet on either side of the road in the interests of beauty. Ken Petersen. Forest Ranger here, has passed along the infurma- tion that ‘he two chains are usually reserved for this purpose.Yes, I had to ask too — and a chain is 66 feet so that is well over the 100 feet I begged for. | In the case of the Chimney Lake road the operator in question was fined for cutting too close to the road. There are instances when the op-! erator is allowed to cut up to the road however. When they are mak ing the survey, trees are often found to have reached full maturity which, if not cut, would become windfalls. | supposed to he cows?) _(Ohmygosh, what is that? Looks lke @ bunch of lines al! scrambled up. I wonder if I should praise it, or | will they think I’ve got rocks in my | head. Better be non-committal about it until I get the lay of the land.) Oh yes, very imaginative and a wonder-| ful sense of color. (Have I already said that?) Now isn’t that a beautiful thing? The water looks.so real as if it were really breaking upon the rocks, (She isn’t saying much; guess I’ve prob- ably said the wrong thing again — but I like it anyhow.) (‘Gosh I sure don’t like all those Wild colours mixed up together —— they would drive me crazy.) Yes, very vivid and a wonderful sense of colour. (Darn, there I go again They'll think I can’t think of any- thing else to say.) My apologies to the Art Society. I really enjoy the Show and find it very interesting even if I don’t know beans about art. Like a lot of other | going through private property there is nothing the Forestry Department can do if the owner wishes to sell all the timber on his property right up to the road. And then in the case of a in| ging road later becomes a public road, and then the motorist again sees the ravaged countryside right beside him.

A There are also cases when a log-| for 120 school children was aiso held Monday morning. Besides the lively and varied ex- hibits by local artists, there was a contribution of eighteen paintings by the Revelstoke Art Group whose work is already well-known to Wil- liams Lake from their part in pre- vious shows. One wall was reserved for a spe- cial exhibition of paintings by Miss Sophia Atkinson, who teaches art in Revelstoke. She showed twenty-two of her watercolors which were well- liked and created considerable com- ment. = For three weeks, Miss Atkinson has been giving lessons in and around Williams Lake, and the very credit- able results Were seen in a number of studies, mostly by beginners. There were 96 pictures in the ex- hibition. Miss Atkinson has submitted the following comments on the showing: In the Cariboo Art Society’s sec- tion, the president Mrs. Cowan show ed a notable collection of vigorous and colourful scenes of life in Kenya; full of the blazing heat and strange forms of tropic life, These were flanked by a gay coloured and inter- esting semi-abstract in the modern manner by her sister-in-law, Grace Tully. forming altogether a brilliant corner in the hall. G. Dingwall’s ‘Autumn Day” with its dusky tones held much of the spirit of the season. H. J. Graysen contributed a snow scene ahd two colorful studies of dessert. T. Rafferty’s vigorous seascape was lively and well considered. His “First Ice” a good subject and nicely felt. There was character in his stretch of Cariboo’s rolling hills. McKinnon Memorial Setting For Toews-Bott Rites McKinnon Memorial Church was the scene of a wedding of interest Saturday when Iszette Augusta Bott, youngest daughter of Mr. George C.

Their work will be to keep the furnishings in good repair and to re- place with new appointments when they are needed, they will change the altar frontals at the proper times, and wash and replace com- munion linen. In previous years this has all been done by the minister’s wife and en- tails a great deal of work. Money for the venture will be raised entirely by donation. With this in mind a tea will be held June 11th on the church grounds, or in the hall in case of inclement weather. A silver collection will be taken. They hope to make it an annual event President of the new group is Mrs. T. Beames with Mrs. F, Mellish as vice-president and Mrs. R. Rankin as secretary-treasurer.

RESEARCH INSTITUTE (OF LEUNDERERS, S: V WILLIAMSLAKE Dry CLEANERS Sonia Cornwall’s “Backyard Medi- dation” was a clever and nicely har- monized sketch of a familiar neigh- borhood subject, and her lively view of the local stampede at Sugar Cane was well thought out and charscter- ized. Her “Interior” too was care- fully observed and rendered. A. Long contributed “A Mexican Homestead” and “Evening by the Lake.” Enid Wright showed a great di- versity of subject and media — oil, water colour and pastel. Her “Can- hoo Feed Lot” is a charming little water-colour; others included a well- painted seascape and a larger oil painting of sea and trees which wes very effective, two pastel portrait studies and a sketch in chalk en- titled “Siesta.” C. MeDowall sent a nicely arrang- ed and attractive study of local land- scape and a strong rendering of a lake scene. D. M. Hodgson’s pleasing still life seemed misplaced in the hegi panel. In the exhibit from Revelstoke, Mary Wells’ “Autumn Landscape” and flower fantasy were beautiful and outstanding paintings. Peter Grauer also showed excellent work as well as B. McKinley, H. Huhtalse, U. Fleming and P. Overhill.
