Local Artist Praised
WHITE BLUFFS AT a recent
Northwestern Artists Exhibition in
Seattle, a picture painted by John
James Neal of White Bluffs, re-
ceived much attention. Young Neal
is more than ordinarily talented, and
his picture, Three Punchinellos'' is
only one of many splendid por-
trayals from his versatile brush.
The honor is heightened by the
fact that he has had less than two
years training in his chosen work.
Mrs. Neil Meek of Everett, a sis
ter of Mrs. L. N. Fry, is spending
q few weeks as guest at the Fry
home -. III:
