works, along with other ap-

Prize Winners
The list Of prize winners
was given in the above-men-
toned issue of The Star,
which reproduced Glib Crock
ett's beautiful Boats for
Hire" winner of The Evening
Star prize. first for water
color. Painted from a height,
it has a diagonal pattern Of
boats and pier, cool color
and compositional interest
throughout. Vaughn Jack
sons Retreat (second water
color award) shows Japanese
influence. Marlin Fenical's
"Lewes" (third) is another
excellent wharf scene.
Awards for oil went to
Eleanore Van Swearingen's
large Bazaar" which turns
an assortment of still life
objects into a unified COM
position; Andre Kormendi's
brooding Mother and Child"
and Richard Powell's quiet,
low-keyed Deserted" boat in
a marsh.
The first two sculpture
prize winners are in contem-
porary idioms: Harvey
Moore's fat zombie- like
bronze Little Sisters" (his
pelican" is SUPERIOR; Min
ME Barr long-headed "An-
cester" carved from cedar,
and (third) Valentin Simian-
cev's appealing head, "Jean."
Two awards were made in
the graphics section. first to
Evelyn Wynne's felt-point

ramic stretch. and second.
Frank Spagnolo's ink draw
ing Vortex" (illustrated) :,
with sharp-angled figures and
background, and good con-
trasts.
Honorable Mentions
Not given in The Star Oc-
tober 18 were a number of
honorable mentions. That in
sculpture went to Katherine
B. Hobbs lively ceramic
Capricorn; the little goats
horn and fish tail are blue
glazed. In oil, Kamran Diba's
large Backyard" has an abb
stract effect, with its we'll
handled composition, whereas
John OMara's abstract
Channel" has the represen-
rational effect of a colorful
brick wall. Dorothy Kuttler's
family group in its cluttered
room and Gladys Lowry'S
primitive heads were recipi-
ents Of mentions impossible
(for me) to understand.
Other paintings I liked are
urban scenes by Samuel Boo

PERSONALITIES

An annoying pomposity is
the habit of announcing a
performance as ''in commem-
grafton Of the anniversary Of
the composers birth (or
death)." When the composer
is as eminent as Haydn, the
statement of Robert Casede-
sus' agent that the pianist is
playing the A fiat sonata this
afternoon in Constitution

in Boston, a restaurant in
which the dinner music is

conversation with another

he was a pilot for American
Airlines, and that his hobby
was tuning organs. Now
while on the face Of it this
seems a perverSe delight, it
is really entirely consonant

two individuals who take
pleasure in tuning organs.
Some weeks ago the Boston
pilot found himself in Bowl

had cut himself free from the
shrouds of his parachute he
was overcome by a desire to
tune an organ. He located the
Trinity Evangelical United
Brethren Church, at 200
North Summit street. and set
to work.
The county courthouse
was next door, atop Of it a
clock tower which struck the

stroke of 8 pm. curiosity

When 1t comes to the birth
Of q baby, even his own child,
the average father Is sup
posed to be pretty helpless.
He is often pictured as a
chump who doesn't know
what he is doing.
That's a gross libel on the
whole male portion Of the
human race, but I must ad-
NIT that it does apply to at
least a few.
Mr.. ]. can't afford to be in
that group. however. Listen
to his story and see whether
you think you could accept
the role that is facing him.
Needs Help
II need help, DR.. Popenoe.
My young wife and I live out,
in the wilderness, you might
say. We're going to have a
baby in six months or so.
My wife has no mother or
near relatives, and I have to
take the place of all her kin.
Ordinarily, when a girl
bears her first baby. her
mother and a lot of female
relatives, friends and neigh
bors are around to help her.
I'm going to be the whole
works. What can I do for
her benefit?
OF course, when the actual
time comes, we'll have to go
to a hospital in a town 80
miles from here; meanwhile,
I'm all she has, and I want
to do everything possible for
her welfare"
You can do a whole lot,

husbands in your situation

and delivered his own baby
(crediting his wife with an

I hope you won't be caught
of base that far, but you
should certainly be prepared.
Let me make these sug-
gestions:
/. If you haven't already
done so. take your wife to
that hospital for examina-
ton, meet the obstetrician
who will deliver her, and get
all the instructions he has to
give.
2. You and she ought to
read up fully on what is to
come. The central govern
mentS of both the United
States and Canada publish
excellent handbooks for this
purpose, that are distributed
free or at very low cost.
Ask your local health de-
partment how to get them
or the obstetrician at the
hospital can tell you. Read
and study these with your
wife.
3. There is a great deal Of
talk about childbirth with
out fear. The more you and
your wife understand this,
