Paintings of Two
Desert Artists On
Display This Month
No two artists see the same scene alike.
Cezanne, the famous French impressionist,
ooce painted a plaza hWl(lreds of times at
different times of the day, and his ex-
periments proved the values of light, tone
_ the artist's eye to the finished product.
To further prove this theory locally, two
desert artists - Ma:r\ne Booty and LorTlline
lfcC\ung - have been painting outdoors
tagether since September. The two mem-
bers of the Desert Art League are the
featured artists at the Cooununity Center .
cUring themonth of March and the paintings
they completed during that time will be
hung side by side.
The showing will demonstrate how two
people can view the same scene differently,
interpreting it according to their own in-
terests, color sense and feelings.
The worlts will hang inthe Cactus Hall and
Joshua Rm. All interested persons are in-
vited to view the paintings.

Motorists Advised
To Be Alert For
Street Paving Work
SprIng is springing, the grass
is on the rise;
So, Mr. Motorist, be alert,
Use your eyes!
There's a paving crew on board
the base,
TryIng to make this a better
place.
The above poem was written by Walt
Hagen of the Public Worlts Department's
Contract Division, who is the man in charge
of the paving operations that are beginning
now on the Center.

readers' eye and remind them to be careful
driving to and from work-
