How Control Tower
At National Airport
Works With Pilots
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION,
By Eugene Columbus, Is,

GaSteln nlRH SCHOOL
When an airplane is ready to take
on from the Washington National
Airport, the control tower sends its
instructions. Without these an ar
irving plane cannot come in safely
or a departing one take of.
The five runways can be seen
clearly from the octangular tower
On three sides are radio sets which
can pick up any plane calling to
any field within a radius of approx
imately 100 miles. The person in
charge, the traffic controller" sits
before the radio sets with small
detailed map of the field in front of
him. The sides of the tower are
made of nonreflecting glass that
looks green from the outside.
To keep planes from colliding is
the controllers responsibility. He
must keep in constant touch with
Boiling Field, the Army airbase, so
there will be no interference from
planes from there.
The controller gives each pilot the
weather forecast, wind velocity and
other special Instructions If the
weather is bad. risks of landing and
taking off are his.
Besides these tasks, because of the
war the controller has many added
duties. One of these is to keep
planes from flying over the restricted
area of the Capital.
Also in the tower is a woman who
takes down information concerning
each incoming and outgoing plane.

"Crack-crunch" was the sound
we heard.
Oh, woe! Whatever in this world
could it have been? 1t didn't sound
like vast breaking, and I was sure
the dog hadn't tipped over the cof-
fee table. And it couldn't have
been the baby throwing a ball
through the window, because glass
tinkles when it falls.
Running into the room, sister
greeted me with: "Oh, they're
broken! Every single one of them
Just think of it-not even one of
them in one piece!"
We'll, what happened?" I de-
manded breathlessly.
He sat on them, and they broke"
she groaned.
What broke?" persisted rather
annoyed by the speed with which
+ was getting nowhere. And who
sat on them?"
The paper was on chair in
the living room and without look
ing down, Dad sat down"
We'll, what's wrong with that?
I'm still anxious to know what
broke"
"All right. DEAR" she said sar-
castically, I'm coming to that. The
album was under the paper when ne
sat down, and they all broke"

"Of Frank Sinatra recordings" ;"
came the reply-and, at last, I un-

WeU-Dressed Amac0stia Girl
Makes Her O1Vm Clothing
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION,
BY Mary Jane Prafher, II,
High School


Several weeks ago, when Ann
Campbell first appeared in the halls
OF Anacostia High School, one could
hear remarks such as, my, isn't
she attractive!" and Doesn't she
have nice clothes!"
Well l am going to disclose a deep.
dark secret that probably would
never have been discovered had I
not been SO nosey: Ann makes
most of her own clothes!
When 1 talked to her, she said:
"Oh, don't tell that. They'll ask me
whether or not I made what I am
wearing and say it looks homemade. +"
But can assure you that is far
from true. AIMS clothes are beau
tifully made, and looking at them,
one can see no difference between
them and the most expensive ready
made clothes-except, perhaps, by
the fact that they sometimes look
better.
AIMS sewing career started back
IN the sixth grade, with the making
OF her first apron. She became in
terested then, and ever since she
has been using her leisure moments
basting, stitching and hemming, and
the result is marvellous. MY only
comment is, in the words of the
radio comedian, "On her, it looks
good"

Unusual Exhibition of Nonobjective
Paintings on View at the Arts Club

space contrasts, a sense of move
ment in some, feeling of order
and serenity in others. Many of
them have marked decorative quail
ity. Certainly there is nothing In
them that could stir the anger and
resentment aroused by semiabstract
paintings in which recognizable OBJ
jects are distorted to the point of
responsiveness.
On the other hand, it seems i'm
probable that the layman will agree
that nonobjective painting is the
pinnacle of achievement in this
medium, or that according to an
other Guggenheim Museum publ
cation) reproductive paintings
hanging next to these paintings
will look like corpses" It seems
more likely that most people will
find prolonged contemplation of
these circles and squares, prylons
and perispheres, and other geo.
metrical shapes, something of a
bore. However fresh their colors,
attractive their relationships, few
Of us are capable of remaining long
In this stratosphere of pure es-
thetics. 1t would be as easy to fall
in love with a problem in geometry.
The writer recalls with particular
pleasure one of Rudolf Bauer's
paintings in the Museum of Nom
objective Painting called BLUE
Balls" which conjured up vision
OF the heavens on moonlit night.
Such associational quality was un-
intentional, of course; and Judging
from the movements literature, true
appreciators of nonobjective work
would never base their admiration
on such an accident.
This exhibition was brought to
the Arts Club through the efforts
OF Gladys Milligan, chairman of the
clubs Exhibition Committee, her
self a painter and head of the art
department of the Cathedral School
for Girls. Two summers ago she
spent some weeks in New York.

A Simple Finishing Method
For Household Articles

Now find an old bottle or vase.
An odd-shaped one is preferred, for
it makes the best-looking product.
Spread the mixture over the vessel to
a thickness of about IS Of an inch.
Let it dry thoroughly.
When the vase is Dry. cover it with
a coat of shellac substitute. 1t is
finished now, unless you want to
decorate it with some pictures. Cut
them out of magazines, and place
them on the vase while the shellac
substitute is still wet.
Remember that you're not limited
in colors. as you can make a differ
ent colored vase for each shade OF
crepe paper you can find. And re-
member, too. that this finishing
method isn't limited to vases. You
also can make flower pots, book ends
and dishes.

The Present Generation.

The third exhibitor is Alice
Stanley Acheson, who needs no in
PRODUCTION to Washingtonians in
terested in art, having exhibited
here for some years. Far more
than her mother or grandfather she
is an individualist, concerned, it
would seem, vastly more than they,
with personal expression. She
paints, 1t has been truly said, what
she sees around her; for her sub
jects she does not 60 far afleld, but
her choice apparently is not gov
erned by a desire to transmit or
conserve visions of beauty.
In some instances the theme
chosen has inherent beauty-as for
instance Flower Carts" or Cherry
Blossoms, a beauty which, however.
is discounted by the introduction of
figure, men, women, children, of a
forlorn and degenerate type calcu-
lated to engender, on the part of
the onlooker. loathing and alarm.
There are such people, but why
perpetuate their memory? Daumier
did it. but even he with a tenderness
as we'll as scorn which conveyed a
sense of human kinship. Mere
degeneracy is never funny. 1t must
be admitted, however, that Mrs.
Acheson has way quite her own
and one which carries conviction.
OF course, this is the day when
social consciousness takes many
strange turns and we may still be
too near present-day painting to
judge it correctly. Time alone will
tell. But this we do know, that art
in its many forms-painting, draw
ing, print making, sculpture, also
music and poetry, is an intangible
thing through which emotions,
spiritual and physical, are trans
mitted one to another Lacking
these emotions art becomes sterile
and would soon cease to exist. This
power is creative rather than rep
ortorial - the artist sees better
than others and deeper; he has a
message which, through technical
skill, he conveys. The spark was
struck many centuries ago; the fire
still burns. The works of the three
Stanleys bring these thoughts to
mind. The exhibition will continue
through February 81.
