America To
Perpetuate
Famous Art
Miss Finnegan, Librarian,
Returned From Western
Trip This Week

Paradoxically it may remain for
this country and not Italy to per-
petuate the beauty of da Vinci's
Last Supper" in the famed stained
glass window in the Mausoleum at
Forest Lawn in Los Angeles, said
Miss Bernice Finnegan this week
on her return from a western trip.
Last Thursday the Sank Centre
librarian returned to this city after
a months vacation stay in the west
where she viewed many Of the high
light spots Of California where she
had visited with a sister. This week
she is back at the librarians desk.
For centuries on a plaster wall
in Milan, Italy, the da Vinci mas
terpiece has been taking away
Every ruler since Napoleon has at
tempted to restore it, they point
out at Forest Lawn, but it is no
longer the work Of the Leonardo.
Now the masterpiece lives anew in
glowing colors of stained glass. Re
created from original sketches col
,lected from art museums of Europe,
the work by Rosa Moretti is recog-
nized as one of the worlds art
treasures. Said Miss Finnegan of
the window, tits awe-inspiring and

She caught a glimpse of Holly

in-law works on the sets of Repub-
lie pictures. At present, she said.

tumble scenes for Roy Rodgers, new
cowboy star Republic is blooming,
and seen recently on the screen at
the Oxford theatre here.
At the Huntingdon Library where
is famous collection of originals
of the Canterbury Tales, and many
manuscripts and first editions on
California history, she viewed one
of the finest library institutions in
the west. In their art treasures,
Huntingdon has the originals of
Blue Boy and "Pinky."
Miss Finnegan found the STAN
dards of the Sank Centre library so
far as new, recommended works is
concerned ranking high with those
in the west. Checking both Los An
geles and San Francisco newspap-
ers she found the local institution
carried six out of eight of the new
most popular works carried in those
book borrowing institutions.
At Carmel Miss Finnegan said the
library is "typically English" And
Carmel Is lone of the most exquis-
lite little towns in the west" with
it's cobblestone streets, varied arch
lectures, and shops with the latch
ed doorways, she said.
Miss Finnegan viewed a colorful
ceremony at Yosemite. Atop a crae
a huge fire is lighted in the eve
ming and as darkness falls over the
valley the huge flaming brands are
pitched over the edge to the valley
hundreds of feet below. The whole
is accompanied by ceremony ap-
propriately plotted.

some $4,000 attended that evening,
