Minnesota Artists
TODAY LAST DAY
Definite About Face
Noted From Surrealistic
Tendencies In Art

A travelling art gallery, featur-
ing the work of twenty-seven Min
nesotans Of the Minnesota Artists
Association, now on display at the
Bryant Library was soliciting wide
spread comment this week among
those who viewed it, but happiest
note for the lay critic was a very
definite about face from surreal-
istic tendencies that had previous
ly stretched imaginations. The
display Is locally sponsored by the
Gradatim Club with the coopera-
ton of the library. o..
Scheduled for the first week of
April, it arrived unannounced last
Friday.
But withal by late Tuesday
more than zoo. including spec
ial groups who viewed It In a
body, had seen the display.
Gradatim and the library hast
ened to announced that today,
Thursday, Is the final day the
pictures will be shown here. ...'
In most instances there was a
note OF relief expressed by those
who viewed it at the library, for
unlike some of the works Of two
years ago most Of these scenes are
at the very least, easily recogniz-'
able. To the lay critic land who
in art Is not critic they are finding
at the library the prospect of
viewing artists impressions at
once throws up his guard. But in
these Is born out a note of fam
iliarity that puts him at once at
ease, off his guard, and at times
sends him wallowing in reverie as
some spot conjures up more than
vaguely a scene to be remembered.
1t is surprisingly absent of the
modern Tong hair" work -"
The realism in many of the
scenes was marking this display in
fine favor. -.
Miss Bernice Finnegan, librarian,
commented, There is a definite
return to the old type of painting,
away from surrealism. 1t is quite
different from many of the pic
lures shown two years ago and
probably shows a decided trend"
People trying to adjust their in
dividual tastes to conform to prices
quoted on the canvasses were hav-
ing difficulty, probably explained
by the fact that pricec are set
either by the artist himself or by
some who are critics versed in the
field, it was explained.
Tuesday Rotary Club came as a
group to view the display and on
Saturday the entire group of Grad
atm Club had come to hear COM
ments on the pictures. Art class
es in school were showing partic-
ular interest and many students
individually were seeing the dis
play.
The paintings reflect wide var
iety of work and temperament.
There are sharply etched winter
scenes, dangerous summer set
tings, scenes Of farms, hills, indus
try and portrait. Artists have ex-
pressed themselves in a variety of
mediums including oil, water col
or, gouache, pen and ink, and silk
screen work. It is circulated
through the Artists Association of
the state with the cooperation IL
the Federation of Women's Clubs.

tended the first of a series Of seven
meetings scheduled for the state

tive to Selective Service. Repre-
sentatives from nineteen counties
were scheduled to attend this meet
ing which was held in the armory
Problems pertaining to Selective
Service, such as dependencies, de-
ferrments and medical examina-
tions were discussed by the group.

explained by Col. Nelson, head of
the State Selective Service. A num-
Der of representatives from the

Kandiyohi, Meeker, Benton, Morri-

In the matter Of farming, where
the loss of a son would create a
hardship during planting and
harvest, it was reported, that de-
ferrments can be granted during
the emergency only.
Representatives Of the Commun-
ity Club, d. B. Caughren and Ed
L. Rattle, asked Mr.. Carl Carlson,
Of Melrose, as to whether proper
credit had been given this district
for the National Guard boys, who
left here for Camp Ham. This
question was brought up because
Of the higher quotas in this dis
trict, where there are less regis
trations than in the district which
embodies st. Cloud. This matter
was presented to Mr.. Carlson per-
sonally and he in turn promised
to get the information.

ing letter, dated March 25th, was
received from Mr.. Carlson:
asked Col. Nelson this after
noon If this board area received
credit for the Sank Centre Ma

Gated that no decision would be

Tolerance for differences of opin-
ion on religion or other fundamental

revolutionaries pledged to disregard
all ethical standards to gain their
objectives, and undermine demo-
cratic institutions is the essence of
stupidity and disloyalty to our Ma
ton, Mr.. Green said.
The American Federation of
Labor is following through the pol
icy of expelling Communists wher-
ever known. We stedfastly charge
that when a responsible union Off
cial countenances Communists in
representative capacity, or sanctions
Communist policies or practices, he
is false to the American trade
union movement, and unworthy of
the principles which our Govern
ment affords him.
The second menace to our de-
fense program is the strike by a
minority group to gain control by
strategy that has not been earned
on a basis of union membership. The
picket line keeps workers out of the
plant so that production is stopped,
and the minority leaders, with the
help of Government friends, gain
credit for negotiating truce.
Later the picket line is used to
force payment of union dues. Strikes
to right wrongs are the inalienable
right of free workers. But minority
strikes as organizational strategy are
quite another matter, and endanger
the freedom we seek to defend"
