Grim Family Shown
Here Prior to 1907

The house shown in this weeks
old photograph was never consid-
cred a landmark, but nevertheless
is distinguished for several reasons.
First, it was situated on the site
of what is now the county's most
important building; and second, it
was the birthplace of man who
achieved a real Horatio Alger type
of success.
The picture is of the home Of
Joseph Grim, and shows Mr. Grim,
his wife and daughter posing on
the front porch. The date is prior
to 1907, for in that year the build
ing was torn down to provide a
site for the new county Court
House.
Not shown in the picture is MI
and Mrs. Crim's son, Cal, who was
then probably in Cincinnati, Ohio,
laying the foundation for his
career.
The story is we'll known of how
Cal as a barefoot boy, ran away
from home, hoped a freight train
to the Ohio city; later retired
after service with the city's police
force to found his own detective
bureau and gain national recogni-
ton for his work in this field.
The house was acquired by the
county after a lengthy condemna-
ton proceeding Mr. Grim set a
value of $1,000 on the property, but
appraisers thought it worth only
S2,4O0. In February of 1907 a jury
eventually decided the proper
value to be $1,000, and this was
the price paid.

Stony River Project
Now In Full Swing

Construction OF Virginia Elec-
trio and Power Companys multi.
million dollar Mt. Storm Power
station near Oakland in Grant
county w. Va, is swinging into
high gear.
Following an inspection tour last
week a group of Vepco officials
expressed satisfaction with the
progress.
Since construction of the SILL.
100000 facility began this spring
an access road to the job site on
the Stony River has been built,
more than 100 acres of woodland
have been cleared in preparation
for the erection of a 1,500-foot long,
l43-foot high dam which will create
1,200 acre lake to provide cooling
water. Sixty percent of the diver
sion conduit for the river has
been installed.
The station is being built in
conjunction with the nations first
commercial 500,000-volt transmits.
sion line which will originate at
the plant site. Two 100000 XIV
turbine generators will feed power
INTO the 350-mile loop, one seq
ment of which will extend to the
Washington, d. c., suburbs, and
then down to the outskirts of
Richmond, Va; and the other to
the on-WayneSboro area and
on to the outskirts of Richmond.
Total cost for the new power sta
ton and transmission line will be
approximately S156,000,000.
The first of the generators, two
and one-half times as large as
the largest units now being oper-
rated by Vepco, is scheduled to go
into operation in May 1865, and
the second is scheduled to be
placed in service year later.
Together they will be capable of
producing power sufficient to meet
all the residential needs of a city
with a population of two million
persons.
Construction of the Mt. Storm
station and line is expected to
substantially offset the rising cost
of generating power. Half the cost
of coal delivered at existing sta
tions results from rail transporta-
ton and this will be eliminated
with the power station in the
midst of the West Virginia coal
field.
When both generating units are
in operation, annual coal consump-
ton at the new station will be APP
proXimately 2,80O,OOO tons.
Stone and Webster Engineering
company has the contract for the
construction of the power plant.
Westinghouse Electric corpora
ton will build the generating units
as we'll as provide much of the
equipment for the transmission
line. U. S. Stecrs American
Bridge division has been awarded
the contract to fabricatc the struc-
lures for the transmission line.

A fitting climax to the Tooth an
niversary observance of the incor-
poration of Salisbury, Pa, just
across the Garrett county line, will
be written during Centennial Week,

Salisbury was officially incor-
porated August 30, 1862, as a
borough and this was observed

day at the square. National
speakers were on the program.
The parade featured high school
bands and other marching units,
numerous floats.

arrangements Of color, form
and space that compel the
eye and delight the heart.
A good place to start in the
show is with a large, horizon
tai painting of a Museum
Case" Within the case are
three or four ceremonial
vessels. 1t is clear that these
vessels are Oriental, possibly
from the Freer. They emerge
in the painting as monumen-
tai forms, propped up on their
legs. exuding their own color
into the very air around
them.
There follows a sequence of
works related to that begin
ming. The vessels appear by
themselves. The Asiatic cal
ligraphy is distracted and be-
comes a vivid, decorative bal
let Of short, sharp forms in
space. Presently the artist is
paying homage to the Orien-
tai inventors Of paper and Of
writing, respectively, and
again the air is filled with
singing hieroglyphs. Some
paintings, varying this last
variation, are messages"
including one from Babel
and even this inharmonious
subject comes through with
order, precision and great
eclat.

ObeIisk Gallery

The collages Of Sam Fischer
were given an unscheduled
and brief show at the Obelisk
Gallery last week. If you are
at all interested in this art
form, 1t is worth your while
to find what remains Of the
show beneath the paintings
OF David Park now on view
there.
Mr.. Fischer uses specially
treated papers and gets some
very special effects. Textures
are in some places built I'D to
a thickness otherwise obtain
able only through the liberal
use Of sand and gravel. Yet
there is nothing physically
fragile about the work.
At an early stage in the
present popularity Of collage
the problem of getting the
papers to stay on the sur
face was solved by short es-
says on the values of the
ephemeral. In those amaz-
ingly recent days, dealers,
museum directors and artists
were all capable of seeing as
a virtue the fact that many
collages might fall apart
next week. Now, chemical re-
search, at least in the hands
OF artists like Mr.. Fischer.

lFA Gallery

Another good show which
has survived its dates is the
exhibition at IFA Of recent
paintings by Richard Schmid.
The young Connecticut art
lSt has successfully revived
both the techniques and the
point of view once shared, at
least generally, by a whole
generation Of American
painters.
Mr.. Schmid paints a kind
of pre-1913 realism, gently
romantic but faithful to the
look of things in a selected
setting.
A favorite subject is right
out of academy shows of the
turn of the century: a girl
reading in bed, with the light
picking out her face from the
deep darkness of the room.

white on the right side, very
fuzzily on the left; it looks
like a ball in flight. Another
is doughnut shaped, with the
black edge rather fuzzy on
both the inner and outer
edges.
The second aspect of space
in the work is in the install
lation, which was carried out
by the artist. Similar paint
ings are hung together not
only side by side on the wall,
but on poles jammed between
floor and ceiling out from
the walls. Thus unexpected
juxtaposition are created and
at moments the visitor feels
himself surrounded by the
pulsing or-shapes in space.
For they do pulse. The
most immediate effect Of
Prof. Fangor's work is that
the shapes are breathing.
Only by getting very close to
the surface, can you actually
look at the paint. At a slight
distance. the pictures seem
to be looking at you.
This effect derives from
the simplicity and from the
infinite care with which the
edges between form and
space are painted. 1t is a
matter of tiny brush strokes,
patiently applied until they
disappear and the geometric
form itself comes into breath
ing life. Americans will be
familiar with the same
strange, hypnotic effect in
the paintings Of Georgia
OKeeffe.

Robert Gates, of the faculty
at American University, is
showing a large group of
recent water colors and draw
ings at the Jefferson Place.
The title of the show is 1.-The
River and the Sea" and the
distractions of this theme
suggest the water colors of
John Marin carried to the
next degree.
There is hardly a recogniz-
able shape in any Of the
pictures, but the colors are
those Of water and sky and
light reflected from water
and cloud. The movement,
too, is clearly from the sub
ject. Blue and green patches
suggest the flow of water.
Loose black line interrupts
that flow, just as it is inter-
rupted by the breaking Of a
wave or the force Of an un-

ever. after missing much school,
he is. according to his teachers,
"a very brilliant boy" and they

We moved to a new school
area and Doug seemed to have
much difficulty. His new

consider him immature, with
a low threshold of concentra-

high I. @. they decided to pass
him on to third grade.
Now three weeks later, the
principal has informed us he
must put Doug back into Sec

it would be bad to put him back
for one thing, it would create

Pan American

Probably as a sign that
people are fed up with hu-
manity, art institutions over
the last few years have taken
to calling the ugliest pictures
they can find "humanist."
Now this manifestation has
spread to South America and
the Pan American Union Of
fers 10 large paintings by
various artists from various
countries under the title
'Neo Humanisfn."
AS far as most readers are
aware only two people, both
scholars, had any kind of
copyright on "humanism."
They were Erasmus and Irv-
ing Babbitt and it's hard to
see what the paintings at the
Pan American have to do
with either one. New bru-
talism" would be more like
it, except that that tag has
been partly pre-empted for
the paintings of madmen in
the hands of art rhetoricians.
Tags aside, the Latin neo-
humanists include three
good pictures and one pro-
vocative one. The latter is
Quartet" by Romulo Mac
chic of Argentina. The big
horizontal canvas is a swirl
of gaudy paint vaguely sug-
gesting four violinists and
acutely suggesting the sounds
that instrument is capable
Of when played by enthus-
iaStic amateurs.
Another Argentine, Caro-
lima Muchnik, has a lovely
composition Of Figures"
misty shapes emerging from
blue. Colombian Carlos Cra-
nada's Woman with q
Flower" is a haunting black
image of a lady looking like
an owl and holding a bril-
liant blue bouquet, while be-
hind her, perhaps in her
hair, there is a splash of bril-
liant floral red.
Best in the show Is an
enormous. beige and angry
image of a Bishop" by Fer
nando Botero. The mitre, the
robes and the fish-like face
are all used to present the
ecclesiastic as an authentic
pagan idol. There hasn't
been much good anti-clerical
art around in recent years.
It's good to see the strain has
not died,
