Unlike many of his brethren, Lon
don Wingo did not receive the
divine call to the ministry; he was
eased into it as one might be into
any profession.
He was a bewildered young man
full of conflicts and doubts, who
was searching for true faith. Had
it not been for his wife Kathie,
who had a surplus of faith, he
might have given up his quest. The
lovely Kathie, daughter of Bap-
tist minister, urged him to go on
when everything seemed hopeless.
What London did not know. when
accepting the pastorate at the small
Baptist church in Missouri, was
that his life from then on would
hardly be his own. Nor did he ex-
pect the smagness and hypocrisy
of some of the members.
They gaped at him if he walked
along the street hatless. They OBJ
jected to his wife's nickname
Kathie. insisting it should be Kath-
crime. They didn't like Kathie's
bobbed hair, her friends, or the
antique Victorian love seat in the
parsonage living room.
The deacons were headache
too, and fought hard against giving
London any influence at all II
church affairs. He was to preacf
the sermon, that was all. Tht
church was completely controlled
by handful of small-minded per
sons who passed themselves off a.
Christians, and London resolved
patiently and tactfully, to give
others a voice in affairs of th'
church.

Art of Canada
At Howard

The exhibition of Canadian paint
lngS, which was opened at Howard
University on November 9, with the
Ambassador from Canada and Mrs.
Lester Pearson as guests of honor,
bring to Washington many aspects
of the Dominions appearance. AS
the collection was assembled by the
National Gallery of Canada it is
presumably representative. 1t is
being circulated in the United States
by the American Federation of
Arts, which placed it last season in
IL cities from New York to Cali
fornia through the Middle West.
After the Howard showing the ex-
hibition will visit six other cities be-
fore it is returned to Canada next
autumn.
Art in Canada is nearly as old as
that in the United States. It began
with the ecclesiastical arts and
crafts introduced into the st. Law
renee Valley by artists from France,
who came to decorate churches and
other religious buildings in the
Province of Quebec. In the 18th
century portraits were much in de-
mand, as was the case in the Ameri-
can Colonies, and last century Can
ada paralleled our experience with
art influences imported from Eu-
pore via newcomers and Canadians
who went abroad to study.
Nearly 80 years ago a group of
young Canadian artists endeavored
to get away from European influ-
ences and to interpret the bleak
grandeur of their own country in
their own way. Several of these
landscape pioneers are included in
the present exhibition, which is re-
trospest Of the past quarter century.
Alexander Young Jackson has a rep
resentative painting here, Quebec
Barn." done mostly in browns; this
solitary building on a snow-covered
plain stretching away to a distant
blue mountain, conveys a feeling of
profound loneliness. Arthur Lismer's

unpopulated scene, has something
OF the appearance of a tapestry.

Contract Bridge League. Local
players will not take in all events,
but the experts are especially inter-

pair matches to be held during the
latter part of the meet.
The tournament, starting Satur-
day evening with an early bird prac-

amateur pairs match, dinner and
cocktail party on December 8.
The league expects to stage an in
ternational match between it's win

during the coming winter for world
championship and this is encourag-

some will have the opportunity of
going to London to take part in one
or more of the world championship
events. This will be the first time

tinued its series of team of four
games on Tuesday night at Ward

with the WeSterners in the first sec
ton, winning l6 out of "a boards.
In the second section, the Atomics,
who had notable success in the re-

Mexican Crafts

The exhibition of Mexican arts
and crafts from the collection of
Dorothy Leadbeater, now on view at
the Pan American Union, represents
skills of various regions. There are
sarapes, for example. from half a
dozen Mexican states. This blanket
and body covering of the Mexican
Indians, is woven in as many diff
ferent styles and designs as there
are indigenous cultures in the coun-
try. In Southern Mexico, styled
animals are a major motif; two
sarapes from the State of Oaxaca,
which is noted for the production of
this woven garment, have a jaguar
and deer design, respectively.
Sarapes from the central States of
Tlaxcala and Mexico have more
formalized patterns and brighter
colors, characteristic of work pro-
duced in those regions.
Another garment, the huipile, a
sort Of shirt which dates from the
period before Columbus, is made in
a number of variations and is still
worn extensively throughout Mex
leo. The Leadbeater collection IN
cludes a series of these garments,
ranging from the simplest utilitar-
ian style to elaborate huipiles de-
signed for wear at fiestas.
Jewelry on display, made by va
rious Indian tribes, includes crosses,
earrings and a beaten silver pin
from Oaxaca, and a pair of gold
flligree earrings from the neigh
boring State of Chiapas.
Elaborate and grotesque masks
worn during ceremonial festas in
Puebla and Michoacan, baskets,
wooden and metsi bowls, stamped
leather money belts, wooden toys
and doilies of linen and lace illus
trate the wide variety of materials
and techniques to. be found in Mex
ican handicrafts.f It is a bright
