'With the possible exception of London there is nowherein Britain where there are so many irtists living and working, . .-. Here, working "under varied conditions -- in converted fish- cellars, in wide-windowed lofts, in old-fashioned wooden studios and in bright new concrete ones built to specification--artists of many outlooks and techniques have not only made their homes, but in many cases their reputa- tions, . . . The explanation is not a simple one.-. . , The climate, the bril- liant light, the almost Mediter- ranean bluc of the sea, the fas- cinating formations of rocks and cliffs, hills and valleys, sand and pebble shores--these are some of the more obivous attractions. So, too, is the comparative freedom and easiness of life in a small but cosmopolitan town such as St. Ives, as compared to most of the provincial towns and indus- trial areas; the congenial atmo- sphere of working and living among large groups of fellow 'artists; the facilities of numeroiis wt galleries and showrooms, : Catch the Stars by Cau Whee Summer doilies are welcoming gifts -- cool, refreshing touch for tables. snowflakes!

Per- haps it is some sort of force, a magnetic farce. | (f6r ~ Cornwall draws artists like a magnet, pujl- ing with some underlying hid- den strength which cannot be © resisted). .", . By far the greatest number now in Cornwall have been drawn right down to the Land's End peninsula; to be more pre- cise, to that area kno ;_Pen- with, which comprises the cyast- line from Marazion and Penzanhg round via Newlyn, Mouseholc, Lamorna, Porthcurno, Sennen, St. Just, Zennor, and back to St. Ives, and including the inland area of lonely moors, cairns and crags and boulder-strewn hill sides such as Trencrom. This is indeed a . beautiful landscape for the artist. . , There is a sense of grim, unrelenting battle about this Land's End coastline. Even on a hot, cloud- less, June day the sea never gives the impression of being quite at peace. The waves 'lap- ping around the salt-flecked rocks, splashing the scagdlls and: cormorants' as they sunbathe, have an angry, irritable flicker to them. The rocks and cliffs themselves carry the same sense of inward, seething strength. -- From "Britain's Art Colony by the' Sea," by Denys Val Baker. Is Idleness Making You A Neurotic? Dawdling beside a back-yard swimming spool or puttering around a barbecue pit might seem an idyllic way to spend a long, leisurely weekend, but as Dri Alexander Martin, a New York psychiatrist, diagnoses it, too much leisure can lead to "Sunday neurosis." This ailment, he told the World Federation for Mental Health at its annual meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland, last month, is really a' severe case of the blues,. caused by "an inner compulsion to A p work." People who have such a . compulsion, the psychiatrist said, develop guilt feelings when they are idle -- and now, with more people spending more leisure time than ever before, and with --pressure mounting for a four-day work week, the problem is be- coming acute. "In America and Britain" Dr. - Martin' said, "there are thous- ands of people who have two and even three Jobs because they are apparently not able or ready to use their free time." lead to severe depression and even suicide. "More thought," he admonished, "should be given to the greater number of suicides which "occur during weekends, holidays, and vacations." : Dr. Martin scoffed at the no- tion that people will eventually learn to handle free time by themselves. Psychiatry, he said, must find a way to give them a helping hand. warned, in the automated life of the future, with its promise of great leisure, human beings may - become "sterile robots, alienated from life and from themselves, living vicariously and so deaden- ed that they compulsively seek overstimulation from the ex- treme, the lurid, the bizarre, and " "the macabre." - ¥ PECK AND PECK -- Getting & 3 the bird doesn't bother Gregory Peck who is making a new movie, "The Guns of Nayarone," in london, England, Peter, a professional seagull, hos a pati, too.

YGiNGER FARM endoline P.Clatke I have been annoyed any number of times by having my calls responded to by "telephone answering service." There is something so impersonal about it and it often: takes several hours to get through to the per- son you're really calling. But now I have come to the conciu- sion that it has 'its points. I could do with it myself just 'now! For the last five days Partner has been in the hospital for minor surgery. Naturally there have been plenty of telephone calls." Necessary ones I welcome but unnecessary ones drive me frantic. Offers to "clean carpets, magazine subscriptions, Christ- mas cards and so-on. You just have to answer the phone. -- it might be important. Partner's operation was sche- duled for noon on Friday so he went to hospital on Thursday. "Next morning no breakfast. The time hung heavy so_he phoned » me twice during the morning. Then. one of the 'doctors called, told me they would be operating zbout two o'clock and to stay home and- he 'would call-me.-1 waited and waited, afraid to leave the house for a minute in case the telephone should ring. At five o'clock I called the floor - supervisor. Yes, Mr. Clarke wes back in his room and was com- ing along nicely. T still had to wait for the doctor's call, which I didn't get until. nearly' seven. He had a confinement casc in the same hospital at the. same time 'and couldn't leave. By seven, o'clock I-was down to the hospital but Partner was too drowsy and "uncomfortable te talk. Since then he has been improving steadily and should | be home in a few days. As for me I hadn't been sleep- ing too well -- which is under- standable -- so I took a steep- ing. pill Saturday night -(doc- tor's prescription) and was -still dead to the world at eight-thirty Sunday morning when the tele-~ phone rang, It was Partner, Of course - he had had his break- fast and wondered why I took so long to answer the phone. After that I got myself a quick break-- fast and then took a bath. Had hardly got into. it "'when the telephone rang again. This time it was a neighbour, 1 explained I was dripping wet and draped in a bath towel, Would she call again." There were other rings, some important, some trivial, which have led me to the con- clusion that busy people can be saved a lot of time by making - use of telephone answering ser- | vice, 3 It seems strange around here without Partner but I have bern ~t--s0-busy_I_hayen't had. time to be lonesome, One neighbour said ~ 'Do you mind being alone -- are you nervous?" Nervous! 1 went to bed one night and for- tot to lock the doors. That's new nervous I am. No, I am nit spss ¥ afraid of being alone. I am more afraid of the, little things 'that can go wrong -- and often do. The kitchen sink got slightly plugged and I had to deal with that. If Partner had been there he would have disconnected the goose-neck and cleaned it. I for- got to water the garden for two nights and the plants got badly wilted. The gladioli needed stak- ing. Before I got around to it cne of them was leaning over saying its prayers. Saturday morning I went shopping yet Sunday morning found me with- out butter. A minor detail, of course, I" made out very nicely with margarine which I keep in the house - for eooking. Art was here Friday night, He naturally wanted a last. minute report on Partner to take:to Dee at the cottage. She had to be reassured' else she migh have come flying home. Which would have been quite unnecesary. Bob and family were here Sunday. And so it goes. And the weather. We are fin- ally getting a taste of summer heat and humidity, but very - little rain.- We don't appreciate: the change but then at Exhibi- tion time it is nearly always hot and sticky. Anyway the heat has brought my late-planted gladioli into bloom. Just a dozen bulbs I bought from a church sale, certified and in mixed colours. It is interesting to watch them come into bloom not know- ing what they will be. There is an ordinary pink, mauve and a yellow. There is also one just coming out~that is almost black -- a reddish-black. Another is orange with black spots. Never seen one like it before. And nearly every bulb has 'produced two bloom stalks. I didn't know that was possible,. But then there is a lot I don't know about glads -- but 1 do love them. + Must grow more next year.

She-ran forward and fished it out of the. water, opened it and found a note in- side. VJ . Ra It-had been written by a United States serviceman sta- tioned on the lonely Azores aif base. Chuck Wilson asked any pretty girl who 'might find it to write to him, He enclosed a photo and briet details. Paula saw that he was a rug- gedly handsome man; tall and dark haired. In fact, he seemed to fit all her dreams of the Ideal Man. She wrote to him from Spain. In London she found "a. letter from him on her return from holiday. Then he telephoned her at one pound a minute. After- wards, he wrote: "Hearing your voice confirmed all my hopes, Will you be my wife?" - She cabled back: "Yes. Love from a bottle cannot be reject ed." The cable took only a few hours to get to Chuck, though his bottle had taken three months to reach Paula. They will be married in America this year. And the bottle will have a place of honour at the recep- tion. of Their romance illustrates the amazing variety of services that drifting bottles perform. Fish- ing, navigation, religion -- all ~"owe success to the fragile voy- agers. Breakable they may seem, but a properly-corked bottle is probably the. world's -best sailor. Hurricanes, which can sink huge ships, have no effect on bottles. They bob through the storms, carrying their messages across the oceans of the globe. One wine bottle -floated for six years, covering an estimated 20,000 miles in the process. It - was launched by a German sci- entific expedition in 1929 in the South Indian Ocean: Inside it was a typed message, facing out- wards, asking any finders to throw the bottle back into the sea unopened. It travelled to the tip of South America, rounded Cape Horn, sailed on into the Atlantic, re- traced its course and went back to the warm Indian Ocean. It ~ was opened by mistake in Aus- tralia by a young girl, before she read the message. 2 The speed of a drifting bottle depends on wind and currents. Five years ago, I launched a bottle near Port Said, Egypt. Last week, I had a letter saying it had been washed ashore at _almost exactly the spot I had- cast it in. It had drifted around "in a quiet corner of the Medi- terranean before returning to --land, writes Brian James in "Tit- Bits." Another bottle 1 launched. got caught up by the Gulf Stream and covered a spanking seven sea miles a day for six months before landing on the coast of India! Glass lasts almost indefinitely -- as was proved a few years ~back near Chatham, Kent. A ship sunk over 250 years ago _ SALLY'S SALUIES JEG wy "Did you * say, 'Madam, your husband said you chin too much?" ; Ay « hon STEP SAVER -- This is not a-flat was salvaged. Among the junk hauled to the surface were six tightly-corked bottles. The U- quid in them was not fit to drink, but the bottles were per- fect. 3 "This year, thé battle for Bri- tain's beaches will be fought « 'with bottles. ; The menace from sludge oil + this summer will be at its peak. ocean lanes. The crude oil they carry leaves a sticky deposit like tar, which the ships must get rid of. When this sludge gets close to land it is carried ashore by currents and fouls beaches, rocks and shingle. The stains are very hard to wash from the skin and impossible to remove from clothing. In a last bid to try to ehd the inevitable rin of all the beaches, scientists who special- ize in currents, have been study- ing water movements around our shores. The easiest way to trace them is to note the courses of bottles launched at selected points, .- The experts are looking' for currents which drift well clear of the holiday spots and will take the sludge with them. Bottles have played their part in history. In the 16th century Queen Elizabeth appsinted an official Uncorker of Bottles. He spent all his life roaming the coasts of Britain seeking bottles. The post lasted for two hundred years, Last year, a woman's life was seved by a bottle landing on the hot sands .of Tasmania. She was frail 'Mrs. Edna Gorringe. For thirty-five years she had pined about the fate of her son, Dennis. He' had been a soldier in World War One. During the fighting in France he had van- ished. The strain of waiting all that time had made her ill. Two years ago doctors told her that if she continued to mope she would will herself into the grave. : BE Last March, the bottle came ashore. In it was a message from Dennis, It read: "Mother, when. you get this T will be dead. 1 have been. mortally wounded. My friend, Peter, is going to get this to you somehow . . ." Peter forgot to post it. Only ond homeward, bound troopship did he recollect, It was too late then. The ship was. sunk by the enemy. Before he was flung into the sea, Peter shoved the note into a bottle and threw it over the ship's side. * After she had got over the shock, Mrs. Gorringe recovered quickly. : Even more startling was the More tankers 'are ar the case of a Japanese seaman who ° set out in 1784 to seek buried treasure, The ship was wrecked in a hurricane. The seaman and --a-few other crew members were washed ashore on a Pacific atoll. Death was close. There was no food. The sun was blinding. Sharks waited off-shore. The seaman carved a brief ac- count of' their tragedy on a piece of bark. He popped it into an empty - saki-wine' bottle and launched it. RE The bottle set out on its jour- tiey.
