Officers, Scout Master, and other important offices were filled as follows; Scout Master, Robert Wagner, who is the Seventh and Eighth Grade teacher at the Doug las School. He is well qualified for the position, having had special training in this field.

GOODBYE TO ALIDA

It won't seem like the same place without her. Indeed, it won't be the same place without Aida Matheson, who has just resigned her position as Assistant Director of our USO and will be leaving for the States tomor- row
 Aida has served here for more than two years now Accurately, you couldn't call her a fixture she's been too constantly on the move around the clubhouse for that. But she certainly has been a fam- iliar figure hereabouts, having given ..o generously of her time and ener- gies in the clubs interests.
 Now she returns to her home in Mt. Vernon, N. Y, for a Well-eaned rest-after that for some further USO service Wherever her new assignment may take her, she will carry the good wishes of the many friends she has made in Juneau.

THERE seem TO be two widely
divergent points of view on the
U modern, grotesque painting OF
women.
Marvellous Imagination" Oar

some artistic admirers
on the other hand the unpre-
tentious man on the street mutters
just one comment: THAT artist must

But the explanation for this yen
10 paint repulsive women is not that
the artist may be touched in the head.
Modern painters are up against stiff
competition for one thing. The ma
chine age has caught up with them
IN the form of a camera. There is no
use trying 10 compete with a camera
when IT comes to depicting subject
accurately, so the artist falls back on
his imagination 10 do things the ma
chine cannot do. It's the only way
yh" can attract attention in this day
and age, and he's really going 10
mOwn doing 1t.

There is no evidence that there is a
larger percentage of goodness among
artists than bankers, lawyers or any

Naturally, adherents to "modern"

by claiming deeper meanings in these

Believe it or not, many artists are
afraid of attractive women, and per

themselves from feminine blandish-

Michelangelo was afraid of the
fair sex, even when only depicted on

Old Master Rembrandt also was a

of his true-to-life paintings. He
painted them accurately, but his
