mucleunh magazine is a most strik ing painting that commands at tention an art catalogue mithi say thjt it was painted in large spots of color with itrvaki of sharply contrasting hues the pict ure is of a farmer guiding his plow up a hill behind his team on the left is a tree aflame with autumn yellow and orange its stark brunches piercing the warm foliage u- vc placet a profess ional critic would continue the summer white of one mass of clouds is immediately complemented by an ominously dark snow elbud both independent units against the sky of a brilliant blue the familiar looking farmer ap pears over the crest of a hill with the team one horse white the other black the small farmhouse on the left continues the theme of blended contrast with its white walls and black roof in the distance bright colors cut into the dork distance of a sharply contoured hill the painter hii iird bold strokes to picture a most vimd and realistic landscape realistic yes indeed although the foregoing critics jargon may obscure the fact the painting was actually done nt a farm at lowvlllc just a few miles away and the scene is one that everyone has un doubtedly seen duplicated many times in this part of the country the artist is adrian dingl who lives near cooksvllle while i was painting he reports the farmer left his team and ambled over every time he came around i was unused to such attention and it unnerved me particularly sine the farmer said nothing just look ed over my shoulder and grunted each time he came to inspect my work finally as x prepared to pack up for the- day he took onu last look sighed and said mora to the horses than to me well i guess somebodys got- to do if m pictured members of the rockwood community bond are ns follows back row left to nqht jack

and juit this week at council meeting a letter was read from hughes cleaver stating he was still continuing his efforts to have the post boxes be come p reality it looks as if they really will be appearing before too many months and will most cert ainly be an asset to thone who fel that an occasional brisk constitut ional is by no means an absolut essential for health nut even whan combined with the business of posting a hastlnote or two an official from the government has scheduled the boxes to be plac ed at the corner of main and queen at victoria and mill on xtaln near bower ave at the tele phone booth in the wartime hous ing at agnes and maria and sur prisingly enough at the corner or mill and arthur government em ployees are supposed to be pretty clever but this one will have to ba a downright genius to get a box at the corner of mill and arthur therell be a lot leu excuse for writing letters when the boxes ev entually arrive but theres a draw back to everything
