INTERESTING AFTERNOON ENJOYED BY
WOMAN'S TEN THOUSAND CLUB MEMBERS

Beginning with a talk by Senator
Ben Hulse on the Central Valley
Water project, with the charming
musical numbers presented by
James A. Childs, accompanied by
Ruth Teeple Reid. and with the
talk by Dorothy E. Shiveley, the
Ten Thousand club at its monthly
meeting held yesterday in the club
house enjoyed a full and exception
al program. j. Laurence Stoner
and Betty Shropshire Stoner also
appeared on the program but their
share in the clubs program has
been covered in another article in
The Press.
At the request of the legislative
committee, Senator Hulse gave an
informative talk on the Central
Water project which will come be-
fore the voters of the state on the
election of December 10.
Tracing the history of the pro-
ject, Senator Hulse then outlined
the plans which briefly call for the
issuance of revenue bonds by the
state which are to be sold to the
federal department of public works
for the building of Kennett dam,
safeguarding the water supply of
the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys. Power is to be sold at the
switch and government units as
well as private corporations may
bid for the power. Cost of the pro-
ject is $170,000,000 and the money
is to be repaid by the sale of water
and power and not by taxation on
the state.
One of the most delightful fea-
lures of yesterdays program was
the group of songs presented by
James Childs of Ell Centro, accom-
panied by Ruth Teeple Reid at the
piano. Mr.. Childs is splendidly
trained singer with a fine voice
and he has appeared on many con-
cert programs in the country being
professional singer of note.
Yesterday he was heard TO ad-

This clever comedy written by the

the play was filmed and played here

amusing in that it is satire on

dience to accept as art not those
classic works of art necessarily,
but those which for the individual
have a personal meaning, which
bring to him or to her a new and
finer feeling, which appeal to him
as art, and which in short, are
those with which he can live.
Twentieth century art she defined
as being of three kinds, reproduc-

Art should be a part of every day
existence, she declared, for a gen.
Grafton without art is as surely

Society
Clubs

In j. Laurence Stoner and Betty
Shropshire Stoner, the two Ten
Thousand clups yesterday enjoyed
one of the most interesting pro-
grams in many years, the artists
appearing on both the afternoon
program of the Ten Thousand club
and the evening one OF the
Junior club.
Both are talented artists who
have already made names for them
selves in the artistic world and in
the commercial as well. In proof
of their skill. the walls of the club
house were hung with a display of
their block prints, water colors and
oil paintings. while on several tables
were grouped their colorful COM
mercial articles, Christmas cards,
stationery, wood salad bowls and
forks. trays. book ends and other
gay and colorful items.
j. Laurence Stoner, whose block
prints have won him either hon
orable mention or first prize for
the past three years in the Phila-
delphia Print club s collection, was
the speaker of the afternoon, as
sisted by Betty Shropshire Stoner.
He gave an interesting account of
the history Of block prints prior to
demonstrating the actual making
of a linoleum block print.
Early in the fifteenth century the
mediaeval church of Europe devel-
oped crude wood cut illustrations of
religious subjects. In l470 with the
invention Of movable type by Gut
tenberg when books were made
possible, the cuts were used as il
Illustrations, first to religious books
and then later to tales Of adventure
and fantasy. During this period
two of the greatest eXpOnents of
the wood cut developed, Durer anc
Holbein. Finally the art became
merely a craftsman s art, the copy
ing of pictures and as such died
down.
Thomas Bewick revived the art,
using a needle on a steel surface in
the manner of an engraving and
with this new idea the art flour
ished again.
In the COS the steel engraving
period was at its height with Tim
othy Cole as its great exponent bus
here again craftsmanship took the
place of the creative artist and an
other decline occurred.

print to the fore.
With this brief history, Stoner,
with the assistance Of Mrs. Stoner,
demonstrated the steps in the max
ing of a linoleum block print.
showing first the original drawing,
then the cutting of linoleum block,
the mixing, transferring of the
print to the paper by means of the
press, and finally the finished pro-
duct. While working he explained
the difference between white line
and black line engraving, and var
ious blocks and finished prints were
passed among the audience to il
lustrate his points. Method Of max
ing color print was also demon
strated.
The speaker declared the value
of the block prints from an artis-
tic standpoint in their crispness OF
