The Hua, which means finger
painting in the Chinese language,
was the main interest of the
Adult Art group from Gathers
burg on Wednesday at the Insti-
tute of Chinese Culture in Wash
ington.
Finger painting, was practiced
in China some 1900 years ago.
Since then this technique has
slowly been abandoned, but WI
Tsai Yen, 43 year old finger paint
er from Singapore, is the fore
most practitioner in this field to-
day. The medium used is COM
posed of vegetable dyes which he
applies to rice paper mounted on
scrolls.
The Gaithersburg group was in
troduced to this old technique by
the artist himself. His application
of the medium was done with
great mastery and delicacy which
is inherent in the great works of
Chinese art. His choice of sub
iects are plum blossoms, bamboo,
birds, chrysanthemums, pine and
cicadas. Those who witnessed the
work of this artist could truly
state that he brings back the al
most forgotten art to those who
appreciate it.

feated Bill Colber's Baptist

house until she finds a place
to roost. None of us wants
her but we are helpless"
] never have fancied myself
as an advice giyer. but ! think
I'll speak out this time because
] believe I recognize something
In this woman that you're too
young, Teresa, to have had
much experience with. I'm
afraid you're witnessing a
rather tragic fight against
loneliness by a woman who
doesn't know how to make
herself wanted and attractive.
It's pretty plain that If it
were television she was after,
she'd buy a set. And If she
wanted to see it. she wouldn't
talk through the program.
She is certainly maladroit and
infuriating, but / hope you can
see that she's pathetic, too.
There are lots of these un-
fortunate souls around. When
their children have gone to
their own homes and their
husbands become statistics in
the life insurance Office, many
lonely ones range the neigh
borhood pretending it is a tel
evision program they are
seeking when it really is SIM
pie human contact they des-
perately want. Your acquaint-
ance simply has a frantic, mis-
guided way of trying to fail
her way into Somebody
anybody's-life.
I should think that the most
honest and courteous way to
handle the situation would be
to sit down with her calmly
some day and explain how you
feel about people who drop in
Unexpectedly. Say that you're
glad to have her and don't
mind lending the washing
machine, only not when your
husband is resting. Try to
think how you'd like to be
treated If you were in her
place. Oh, I know you believe
you'd have too much sense and
fine feeling to do what she is
doing. But I'm not sure that
anybody could be sure in ad-
vance.
If you don't talk it over
you'll just have to go on suf-
fering or hiding on the cellar
stairs, pretending to be out
when she calls, not answering
the telephone, not inviting her
in when she arrives at dinner
time, or when you are enter
tanning other friends.
But I hope you won't resort
to cruelty. Mostly I'd advise
trying to understand why she's
the way she is. If you learn to
sympathize with others you
are sure to become better,
broader, more tolerant your
self. Don't laugh-it's conceiv-
able that your neighborhood
pest may actually be good for
you!

tive. They will quit the place

The show Dill include a dis
cusSion OF traffic situations
such as the one pictured here.
Failure to yield the right OF
way to another car caused 2,795
accidents in the District last
year.
That's almost eight a day
every day in the year. One per-
son died in such accidents and
709 persons were injured.
And yet many people-other-
wise good drivers-don't know

The most frequent misconcep-
ton is that the driver on the
right always has the right of

pictured here thought. But the
driver on the right is not always
in the right.
At an uncontrolled intersec-

intersection first has the right of
way-regardless of the direction
he is travelling. The driver on
his right must yield to him.
