Sa the profusion of
paintings on the comparatively
small wall area may have been
overpowering. The hanging
committee, however, overcame
this by careful and judicious
placing

Being placed in, the Position
of having to judge which was
best would indeed be difficult,
and besides, is beyond the scope
of this commentary. Of outside
exhibitors, however, the follow-
ing seemed notable.

REVELSTOKE—“ Snow Pat-
tern,” a composition
with muted color scheme by
Sophie Atkinton, influ-
ence on this group seems fairly
strong.

“The Eddy,” by Beta Mann.
Another water color from the
same group.

WEST VANCOUVER—Frank
Kastner’s ‘City Street,” in
which he has captured some-
thing of the restlessness of the
city at night. i

“Rocks,” by Barbara Law-

e old Elementary School Annex, outwardly

p.m. on Saturday, June 20.
Was the 15th annual art show of the

“Dingy,” by Phyllis Monk, a
satisfying composition of line
and color with a fine feeling of
light and atmosphere.

WHITE ROCK—* Windswept
Hills,” by Chris Hopkins, a
non-objective rendering painted

by an artist who
knows his medium.
CHILDREN'S WORK

Before moving on to the in-
dividual local artists, something
should be said for the section
reserved for work done by the
youngsters of the Elementary
and Junior-Senior High Schools.
It can truthfully be said -that
if an exhibition such as this is
to be wholly representative, it
must take into account this
most important part of the art-
producing community. For
sheer virility and complete. sin-
cerity, their efforts left nothing
to be desired.

Witness “Mother Cat with
Kittens,’ ‘and “Gent on Bike,”
done by Grade I and II pupils.

Commenting on local hang-
ings, Paul Wong’s airy “ Circus
Scene” seemed a perfect treat-
ment of the subject, and George
Walden’s “The Fishing Grounds
at Lac La Hache” competently
handled. Mrs. Enid Wright's
“ Still Life” seemed suspended
in light. Her delicate color
sense was evident in all her
paintings, particularly in “ The

obviously

rence, a lyrical treatment of the
subject delightfully painted.

crayon work showed she has
gone far on the road to achiev-
ing mastery of this medium. Her
Indian head studies especially,
were delightfully characteristic.
Miss Sophie Reidemann’s mas-
terful drawings (the only draw-
ings in the show) showed fine
appreciation of line. Her paint-
ing ‘The Fraser" was a most
satisfying composition, the
slanting light on the bench-
lands making an intriguing
pattern against a hazy back-
ground and darkened cliffs.

Mrs. Dorothy Ingalls’ very
personal awareness of color gave
her painting “‘The Shack” its
air of quiet mystery. ‘‘ Morn-
ing Sun Dogs,” by John H.
Dyson, a rythmic, imaginative
artist. ‘(Meadow Scene” and
“Bend in the River,” by Mrs.
Gertrude Dingwall, showed that
this artist has reached the point
where she paints with confi-
dence and with much more ease
than in her earlier work.

“Cariboo Scene” and “ Aut-
umn—Cariboo,” by Vivian
Cowan, were sensitive paintings
and her “Indian Head,” with
unfinished background, an ex-
cellent study. “ Pink Chair,” by
the same artist, was interesting.
Mrs. Sonia Cornwall's “ Spring ”
and “ Still Life,” both paintings
using practically the same color
scheme, were excellently done.
In both she showed an under-
standing of the qualities of oil
paint and a virile and striking
technique. ‘‘ Quebec Street,” in
line and wash, by Mrs. Dora
Chamberlain, was a most satis-
fying study—the subtle hint of
sunlight at the end of the street
giving just the right suggestion
f depth. Mrs. © Castillou’s
“Cariboo Retreat,’ a delicate
water color, was faithfully and
sensitively rendered: :

STUDENTS OF ART

No one appraises a work of art more closely than ‘
another artist, and the pair photographed here at
last weekend’s Art Show are no exception. At the
left is Mrs. Sonia Cornwall, vice-president of the
Cariboo Art Society, and with her is Cyril Murray,
art teacher at Williams Lake Jr.-Sr. High School.

Vicar honored at-close of '
evening service Rev. E. H. Wallace of Fergus,

Ontario.
Rev. George Fielder, who is
retiring as vicar of St. Peter's
Anglican Church at the end of
July, was honored in the vestry
Sunday evening.

The annual Sunday school
picnic of St. Peter's was held
Wednesday afternoon with races
and sports for the older child-
ren on the grounds outside the
church, and little games for the
younger children with gay little
prizes for the winners.

Following evensong, sung by
William Drury, student minister
here for the summer from Tor-
onto, the congregation held a
farewell get-together in the
church hall and Rev. Fielder
was presented with a picture
screen and a purse of money
as a parting gift. The presen-
tation was made by Owen Ker-
ley, in place of Ken Cameron,
people's warden, who is away
on holiday. He commended Mr.
Fielder for the work he had
done for the parish. ,

In charge of the arrange-
ments were Mrs. B. Adkins, Mrs.
L. Scott and Mrs. A. Simson.

Of special importance to St.
Peter’s this week is the forth-
coming visit of Ralph Dean,
Bishop of Cariboo, who will hold
confirmation Sunday morning.
Then a pilgrimage will motor to
Alexis Creek for a service there
followed by a reception at the
Red Cross Outpost hospital.
