watch out for such things. They also have

when the circus is on the move, Elephants

To keep elephants dainty, you must give
them lots of baths, pedcures and skin treat

mat, so they need a regular once-o,er

but elephants don't mind it bit. You
have to give them oil messages, too; their
skin is tough as an automobile tire, but it's
very sensitive to wind and weather.

twenty thousand dollars. The actual
total of pledges was $107,700.
While the success of the Drive was
due to the generosity of the people,
too much credit cannot be given to
the band of volunteer workers who
gave not only of their own money
in subscribing to the fund them
selves, but in addition gave hours

{ Sslberland Valley
Annual Art Exhibit
Plans made for Museum of Fine
Arts Fifteenth Exhibit - En-
try Forms Mailed To Artists
Many Expected to Exhibit -
Opening Date February 2.

Nothing excites the amateur paint
er of the Cumberland Valley SO
much as the annual exhibition for
regional artists, held in February by
the Washington County Museum of
Fine Arts. This year will be the 18th
exhibit in the series.
Announcement invitations have
gone out already to artists residing
in the broad area bounded by Harris

already, entry forms are being re-

the above mentioned area. Any
medium of art is also eligible: sculp-
ture, paintings in watercolor or oils,
drawings and prints, with a limit of
two works in any one medium.

through the judging of an independ-
ent jury. Past experience has proved

ed of a single art expert. This year,

in advance who that one-man jury
will be: John Walker, Chief Curator
of the National Gallery of Art, of
Washington, D. c. In his capacity

ably holds the most responsible po-
sition in the museum world today.

and returned to the Museum by Jan
uary l, 1947. For artists new to the
region and for those who may have
been overlooked in mailing the an
nouncements, application should be
made at once to the Washington
County Museum, Hagerstown, Md,
for the proper form. The works of
art should be delivered at the Mu-
scum between January l and 10,
1947.
