Graham Sutherland and
Henry Moore, two Of Great
Britain's most important liv-
ing artists, are presented in

art museums in the United
States and Canada. Organized
by The Institute of Contem-
porary Art. Boston. the show
comprises so paintings by
Sutherland. and IA sculp-
lures by Moore.
These inventive British con-
temporaries are so far re-
moved from Britain's art as
most Of us know it, that the
appreciative forewords TO the
catalogue (15c) should be re-
quired reading for every visitor
to the show. Frederick Wight
Of the Boston Institute tells us
that both artists give us "quin-

Moore's case date from the be-

Sutherland worked for years in

which he suddenly abandoned.

the pattern Of a century and
create a past from which to

The Opposite Pole
Studying these unsympathe-
tic paintings and sculptures,
the average layman will prob
ably feel that Sutherland'S is
at the opposite pole from 1.-The

beloved works which are syn

Moore Is straight out Of Stone

more or less ends with the
inspiration.
Mr.. Sutherland's paintings

stems. bark, branches and
leaves. The emphasis on

these paintings make the wary

Suspect Jailed
In Hog Thefts

A former Madison county man,
Robert Jackson, was being held in
the Madison county Jail after it
was believed that he may be impli-
Gated in recent local hog thefts.
According to the sheriff's office,
Jackson vas picked up after alleg-
edly selling five hogs to a Colum-
bus company on or about Sept. 2.
Proof of ownership of the hogs
was apparently not established at
the time of sale, it was said.
Sheriff Bidwell appealed to all
farmers in this area to report any
losses or missing h hogs. 1t was
brought out that the man being
held may have sold other hogs to
other packing houses during the
summer months.
Sheriff Arthur Shuman and
Deputy Gregg of Clark county
arrested the man early Wednesday
morning after Madison county
authorities requested that he be
picked up for questioning. Accord
ing to local authorities, the man
had previously served a term in
the Ohio penetentiary on alleged
hog and livestock theftS.

Eve Clinic Fine
Example Of Work
Done By Jaycees

The London Junior Chamber of
Commerce will aid in conducting
the Vision Clinic to be held at the
Courthouse basement Friday. The
clinic was established in 1916 in
conjunction with the Jaycee Den
tai Clinic which has been in exist
ence here for many years. The
Jaycee organization gives the fl
nancial aid to needy children with
faulty teeth or eyes. The vision
clinic will be conducted by the
local board of health who will be
assisted by wives and volunteers
of the JayceeS.
The Jaycee Health Clinic, as
it is now called, has done great
work in the field and has received
the commendation of all concern
ed The present officers are:
Tony Reeder, president; Charles
Ballenger, secretary; Robert Lu-
kens, treasurer and Kenneth Tope,
Dean Goodyear, Ray Creighton,
trustees. Funds are obtained from
Charity Newsies sale, held annual
ly in December.
During last year a screening
program was conducted in the
London public and parochial
schools, Deercreek and Lafayette
elementary schools.
Six students from the Ohio
State University School of OPP
tometry, with their faculty ad-
viSors conducted the initial screen
ing on $50 students. OF these, los
were found to have some form of
visual defect. Approximately 40
have been referred to the Clinic
for additional examination by
specialists. Children will then be
referred to local optometrists.
Pathological cases will be referred
to Children's Hospital.
The state Legislature voted addi-
tional funds to aid in the work
during the last session and much
progress is expected from the
present program sponsored joint
ly by the Jaycees and the London
health board.

Investigation Is
Demanded BY Our
State Legislator

Elton Kile, Madison County
State Representative to the Cen
eral Assembly has demanded that
a full scale investigation be made
of the general operations of the
Ohio State Fair.
In a sharply worded statement
issued Saturday for the press,
Kile charged that the Ohio State
Fair is fast becoming a mammoth
carnival. He said it was plain to
be seen that the gigantic midway
with all its hundreds of amuse-
ments and attractions was gradu-
ally crowding and forcing the
farm displays far into the back
ground of the annual agricultural
event.
Kile who is chairman of the
County Fair Study Commission
has asked other members of his
group to join him in requesting the
next session of the legislature to
broden the commissions powers
so that a full scale investigation
into the state fair can be made.
He further stated that he had re-
ceived numerous complaints from
Ohio farmers about the situation
this year.
There was a decided drop in at
tendance and in the number of
displays this year, it was reported.
The crowded condition which
exists on the grounds is the direct
results of the crowding in of
hundreds of carnival attractions
and stands which in the past years
were not permitted on the mid
way. AS a result the state indus
try, agriculture and Junior Fair
program has suffered and gone
backward instead of progressing,
according to MIR. Kile.
Mr.. KileS commission was set
up about one year ago to study
the organization and financial
needs of county fairs through out
the state and to recommend pos
sible legislation to aid them. AS
the study commission stacks up
now it is not believed that they
have the power to act or dictate
to the State Fair officials. Hence
the reuest of broader powers.

LIKE A SCHOOL
WITHOUT A TEACHER

A small town without a news
paper would be like a school
without a teacher or a church
without a pastor!
That striking opinion comes
from Professor John H. Casey
of the Department of Journal
ism of the University of Okla
homa. He went on to say this:
I'm the aggregate, the country
newspaper determines the out
.comes of more elections, exerts
a greater influence for con-
structive community progress,
is read longer by more men,
bers of the family, and consti-
tutes, with its millions of circu-
lation and quadrupled millions
of readers, a better advertising
medium than any other group
of newspapers or periodical
publications.
Through service to its COM
munity, the country newspaper
will not merely survive; it will
continue to flourish :"
