Warmouth Meets Friends
Metropolitan newspapers recent-
ly carried an interesting story
~ about Chaplain Don L. Warmouth,
formerly of Shavertown. While
serving with the Tank Destroyers
in France, the Chaplain came across
~ an ambulance bearing the name
“Evart, Mich,” where he had
served as pastor in the Methodist
~ Church ‘before entering the Army.
Upon investigation, he located three
young men from Evart who were
serving with the ambulance. The
four had a pleasant time exchang-
ing news from home and compar-
ing snapshots. “It was quite a re-
~ union,” the Chaplain remarked
later.
Chaplain Warmouth is now sta-
_ tioned at the Fourth Convalescent
Hospital in Belgium. Mrs. War-
mouth, the former Norma Williams
~ of Shavertown, and their two sons
reside at Madison, New Jersey.
tle Ensign Harold A. Brown, son of
~ Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Brown of Leh-
=r man, is now stationed at the Com-
' pass Office of the U. S. Naval Fron-
tier Base at Commonwealth Pier 1,
‘Boston, Mass. His work is to ad-
just compasses on ships out in the
harbor and to de-magnetize ships.

From
Pillar To Post
(Continued from Page oa
The whole thing is very confusing.
If the object as transferred to paper
suggests either a beanpot or half
a dozen onions, it isn’t art. If you
can smell the beans, or if your eyes
tend to water at the sight of the
onions, you may as well admit
that you are on the wrong track
and start all over again. This is
not a photograph, it is a picture.
Half a dozen onions arranged
around a beanpot present enough
difficulties when done in black and
white, but when executed in color
the sky's the limit. An onion, to
the inartistic mind, is simply onion-
colored, yellow or orange or glow-
ing with an opalescent green. As
executed in a still-life by a master
hand, it shows touches of blue and
red and purple, with a lovely shiny
spot where the north light of the
studio brought out the high-lights.
Onions are durable, probably the
most durable of vegetables. They
appear again and again, arranged
in a brass bowl, spilling from a
blue pottery dish, nestled against
a green glass bottle.
You've got to know your onions,
or you can't paint. The walls of
the studio are hung with onions
in charcoal, onions in pastels, and
onions done in oils. No water-
colors. The place fairly reeks with
onions. The beanpots range from
stalwart affairs capable of housing
beans enough for a barracks, to tall
skinny beanpots holding a mere
whiff. It all depends upon the eye
of the beholder. So long as the
shadows are richly deep behind the
beanpot, and the onions in front
of it globular and glossy, it's a
picture.
We stand before our easels every
Friday morning, and size up the
current crop of onions. At the end
of two hours we are reduced to
despair, but the next Friday morn-
ing we are back -on the job. To-
day there are carrots along with
the onions, and a green pepper
points up the color scheme. We
are making progress.
Next week we will add six points
worth of stewing beef and have a
good vegetable soup, the variety
that Della Lutes once referred to
as “chewing soup.”
There is nothing these days that
presents a prettier picture than a
tureen of nice hot vegetable soup
with triangles of hot buttered toast
on the side.

Heavy falls
snow have made ideal skiing con-
ditions this winter in the Back
Mountain country. Moisture that
victory gardeners prayed for all
during the hot, dry summer is now
being scattered profligately over
meadows and hillsides bearing out
the contention of old timers that
parched summers are usually fol-
lowed by hard winters like 1936,
1941 and 1944.
While heavy snows and freezing
temperatures have been welcomed
by the younger element, motorists,
especially those living off the main
plowed highways, have cursed
driving conditions with as much
enthusiasm as their young sons
and daughters have welcomed King
‘Winter.
Ever since a few days before
Thanksgiving the ground has been
covered with snow. Whenever it
has started to melt freezing weath-
er has retarded its departure just
long enough for another snowfall
to keep the ground covered. This
has created a crusty foundation for
other powder snows—the delight
of outdoor enthusiasts.
The hilly fields on Clifford Space'’s
farm on the outskirts of Dallas
have become an afternoon, eve-
ning an week-end mecca for young
skiers. Sleds and toboggans are
in the minority but Paul Shaver,
Jr., finds plenty of squealing pas-
sengers for his toboggan. The
gatherings at the top of the hill
are informal conferences for mak-
ing plans for ski hikes and other
winter sports throughout the win-:
ter.
One of these tours was made
by Harold Niemeyer, Jim and Bill
Waters and Ralph Harrison. They
were out all one beautiful Satur-
day, making the circle to Hunts-

ville Dam and then home by way
of Center Hill. They carried their
lunch in Knapsacks and ate it in
a sheltered spot at moon. The
scenery was beautiful, they said,
and looked just like picture books,
and the snow was perfect for skiing.
Jack Pauling, Herbert Dreher,
(the author’s brother) and the au-
thor went on one short hike to
Posten’s Pond, around Huntsville
Dam and then home through the
[ pine woods about one mile south
of the Huntsville Road. The pine
trees laden with snow were ex-
tremely beautiful and glistened
with snowflakes that looked like
so many small diamonds. By the
time the trio reached home and
entered the house purple and yel-
low spots flashed before their eyes.
They were almost snowblind.
There have been many silly and
awkward spills. Fortunately none
has been hurt. Once the author

gone over a cliff.
Others also took nice spills. One
in particular stands out. A skier
slid half way down the hill on
his face breaking his ski binding.
There are many others who have
taken fancy leaps.
The three Peirce boys who mov-
ed here last fall from Greenfield,
Mass. have taken to the Penmsyl-
vania winter like snowbirds. They
live in it from morning until night
when they are not in classrooms.

Called By Death
For otor Co. |
George E. Foote, 57, at one time,
assistant mechanical engineer for
the Stutz Motorcar Company in
Indianapolis, died yesterday morn-
ing at 10:30 at his home in West

| Ohio, Mr. Foote was a graduate

| dustrial career throughout his life- |
time. His father was likewise a
mechanical engineer.

employed in that capacity with
the Burford Printing Company of

resourceful and could solve raech-
anical problems in most any line
of activity.

so: that his family might be with
Mrs. Ryman who was ill for several
years, he helped in the establish-
ment of the N.Y.A. workshops in
Wilkes-Barre and was for a number
of years an instructor there. More
recently he was employed in en-
gineering capacities with other in-
dustrial firms. He was a member

gineers and of the Masons in In-
dianapolis. :

Mary at home and Mrs. Margaret
Buchanan of Indianapolis.

terment will be in the family plot

call at the Funeral Home Sunday
