A CRITIC writing about some water
"A color paintings by Henry w. Olson
once commented:
The subjects are painted in a
bold, confident manner, as though
the artist suffered no moments of
indecision."
1t is very likely true.
A tall, handsome man with a
trim beard who paints in his good
clothes, DR.. Olson is hardly a slapdash
type. But when he faces a canvas or
any other course of action, he usually
has worked out his decision method
ically ahead of time, and is ready to

Early in life, the Ohioborn artist
made a rather difficult choice be-
tween an exclusive career in art and
another vocation.
He had painted since childhood,
but he also loved nature. Il was a
great collector" he recalls. Il was
always bringing animals and things
into the house If wasn't feeding or
collecting them, was drawing them"

"Atcentuate The Positive"

Last fall, during the Presidential
campaign, three different Federal
employees attempted to place
stickcrs on their cars boosting a
candidate Supervisors in their
agencies handed down three diff

his car at any time; 90 that an en-

Because of such contradictory
neutrality-suspicious. of the U1tch
Politica, Activities Act. have in
troduced a bill which spells out
positively activities in which a
government employee can lCgiti-
matCly engage without fear of re-
prisal. OF course, some rules are
needed. Government employees
should be prevented from using
their position to influence the cast

Americans are fully subject to the
