Art Show to Help
Easter Seal Drive
Amateur and professional
work of area artists, both ab
stract and representational,
will be shown in the Easter
Art Festival on April 13 and 14
in the Palmer high school cafe
teria and study hall, Mrs. Ver
non Van Auken, chairman, said
last week.
The Festival will open Sat
urday, April 13, at 2 p.m. and
continue until 10 p.m. Sunday
hours will be 10 a m. to 8 p.m.
E try fees are $1 for each
painting submitted by adults
and 50c for each child’s paint
ing submitted. Proceeds from
the show will go to the Matan
uska Valley Crippled Child
ren’s Association. Artists will
also contribute ten per cent of
the money they receive for the
sale of paintings to MVCCA.
The showing will include
amateur, professional, and chil
dren’s classes, with the profes
sional class divided into two
classifications, abstract or non
objective, and representational.
The term “professional" does
not mean that the artist must
make his living by painting,
Mrs. Van Auken said. This
class will be similar to a juried
show, except that it will not
be juried and no paintings sub
mitted will be rejected. The
artist himself will decide
whether his work will be hung
in the amateur or professional
showing. Each artist may sub
mit up to three pieces of work.
Youngsters up to 12 years of
age may submit paintings in
the children’s class. These need
not be framed but should be
matted (mounted on card
board). Adult entries must be
framed and wired suitably for
hanging.
First, second, and third prizes
will be offered in each class,
also honorable mentions. In
addition, the “Best of Show,”
which will be chosen by popu
lar vote of those attending the

festival, will be a book called
“Loom of Art,” which is now
on exhibit in the window of the
Anchor Book Shop in Anchor
age. There will be a panel of
judges for each class.
Residents of the Palmer-Sut
ton-Wasilla area may enter
their paintings on Friday from
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Satur
day from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Registration blanks, which will
be available after April 1, may
be picked up at Bert’s Drug in
Palmer and Teeland’s Country
Store in Wasilla.
Anchorage, Chugiak and
Eagle River entries may be left
at the “Color Center,” an art
supply shop at 5th and B
Streets in Anchorage, any time
during the week of April 8-12,
where they will be picked up
on Friday, April 12, at 2 p.m.
and returned to the Color Cen
ter during the week following
the show by the C. H. Meiers
Transfer Company. No charge
will be made to the artist for
this service. Each is asked,
however, to cover his paintings
with cardboard and to tie se
curely.
Artists of this area who wish
to order supplies may do so
from a price list at Bert’s Drug.
Orders will be taken to the
Color Center each Friday, with
supplies to be brought back
each Monday between now and
Festival time.
School facilities are being
furnished at no charge other
than janitor service, Mrs. Van
Auken said. Harve Goodale,
well-known Alaska artist, has
offered the use of 75 easels for
the show.
Assisting with arrangements
are Fred Machetanz, Cliff Mar
cus, and Dorothy LaZelle. Vol
unteers who would like to help
on Friday evening or Saturday
morning will be very welcome,
Mrs. Van Auken said, with the
stipulation that they bring
their own hammer! Three vol
unteers will also be needed to
type and three to enter paint
ings during the Friday evening
and Saturday morning entry
hours.
Members of the MVCCA will
serve refreshments. Fred Mach
etanz, Rusty Dow, and Harve
and Ellen “Henne” Goodale
will be on hand during the fes
tival to answer questions and
to give information.
“Our show is not in opposi
tion to any other art group in
the Anchorage area, and we
are not against any special
form of art,” Mrs. Van Auken,
a member of the American Art
Association, said. “We are for
representational art and feel it
should have an opportunity to
compete for money prizes in
juried shows, as well as ab
stract art.”
If the show should become an
annual affair, it will be ex
panded to include photography
and crafts next year, the chair
man said.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY GIVES
RARE ALASKAN FOSSILS TO AMU
One hundred million year
old fossils of Alaska were re
cently given to Alaska Metho
dist University. The collection,
which will be used as a refer
ence collection, was presented
by Standard Oil Company of
California. The specimens will
be displayed and stored in the
University geology laboratory.
Edwin S. Parker, District
Exploration Superintendent,
said that the specimens have
been completely identified by
Standard’s paleontologists. He
also said that the collection is
probably unique, since all the
specimens were collected by
geologists working from heli
copters in exploration areas in
accessible by other means of
transportation.
Ross G. Schaff, assistant pro
fessor of geology at the Uni
versity, said, “The collection
has already given students of
geology an opportunity to
study fossils of this region.
Gifts of this nature represent
invaluable contributions to our
earth science program.”
Schaff described the collec
tion as being composed of both
large and small marine animals,
molluscs, some being larger
than ten inches in diameter.
They date from the Mesozoic
era—roughly one million years
ago.
A portion of the collection is
being readied by students for
display during the Alaska Re
gional Science Fair which will
be held on the Alaska Metho
dist University campus March
22 through 24.

r*WASHINGTON AND.
"SMALL BUSINESS”
By C. WILSON HARDER
The question still pops up.
Is government anti-business?
* * *
Many in Washington along
with thousands all through the
land think that government is
actually anti-business.
* * *
There are others who take
a differing
position.
* * *
Their con
tention is that
government
is not actual
ly anti - busi
r.er.s. Rather,
it is business
ignorant.
* * *
Both schools C. W. Harder
rf thought founo ample confir
mation for thei' views in the
hassle that led to new rulings
on expense acc- mt deductions
for income tax irposes.
* * *
And even di spite fact a
mighty roar « used bureau
crats to revise some of the
more radical regulations, even
in its present form, the regula
tions show either ?n enmity to
ward, or an ignorance of busi
ness.
* * *
Some bureaucrats seem to
feel that if Mr. A. buys Mr. B.
a lunch, then Mr A. should im
mediately get an order from
Mr. B. In a free competitive
society this s< ■ lorn happens.
* * *
Cultivation of contacts is a
long process, and a never end
ing one. The major deals on
business, whether it be the es
tablishment of a new dealer
ship or setting up a franchise
arrangement are usually not
hastily concluded.
♦ * *
Both parties in such arrange
ments usually talk to many
© National Federation of Independent Bualnes
people, and it is usually most
necessary to sustain talks and
contacts over a long period. ‘
* * * (
Because after all, business (
is still largely done by people t
with other people, and for a i
successful relationship In busl- 4
ness, it Is necessary to as- f
certain if there is an adequate ,
degree of compatibility. This is
not learned in discussions over
a desk top.
* * * s
Thus, business spends some t
money in entertaining to gain C
information, data, new ideas. \
* * * (
And in entertaining, business
provides a substantial amount
of employment for restaurant
workers, entertainers, musi- >
cians, transportation workers. >
* * *
Of course, enforcement of
the new regulations will require
the government hiring thous
ands more to carry on the
witch hunts. And while the
measly amounts they get for
the government will not pay
their salaries, to say nothing
of the millions of dollars that
will be lost in executive time
in business answering ques
tions, this is not considered.
* * *
Because in Washington noth
, mg is more sacred than mak
; ing big government bigger.
And this viewpoint is shared by
the two biggest threatening
forces in government today.
One is the clique dedicated to
undermining American free en
terprise to accellerate social
ism in the nation. The other is
the group who early in life got
jobs with government for se
curity, know nothing about
business, and feel their future
security depends on more and
more people joining the govern
ment payroll. The picture is
not pretty.
