THE HISTORY OF WALL DECORATIONS
When Humpty Dumpty fell
from his wall, he left one of the
world's oldest sites of artistic
effort.
Unlike all the king's horses
and all the king's men who
couldn't put Humpty together
again, historians have pieced
together 1 a fascinating account
of man's efforts to decorate
his walls.
Ten thousand years ago, the
walls of most homes were done
in blue, brown and red bison.
And there is reason to believe
that cave drawings, as a form
of communication, preceded
the use of verbal sentences.
The ancient Egyptians
painted large wall areas with
colors extracted from plants
growing on the banks of the
Nile. The Romans installed
colorful frescoed panels on the
walls of their homes and public
buildings; some of these can
still be seen in the ruins of
ancient Pompeii.
One of the world's most
famous paintings, Leonardo da
Vinci's "The Last Supper,"
had as its "canvas" a wall at
Santa Maria delle Grazie in
Milan.
As a substitute for the costly
tapestries which had been a
favorite wall decoration in
wealthy homes, Europeans in
the 16th and 17th centuries
began using wallpaper.
founded by the U. S Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare through its National
Institute of Mental Health and
the City of New York, has been
credited with almost complete
ly revising the role of the so
cial worker in working with
the poor. The program, which
has serviced some 25,000 peo
ple since its inception in 1962,
has consciously focused on the
restoration of dignity and a
feeling of self-involvement of
the poor in the solution of their
social and economic problems
To the classic role of the social
worker as a counselor has been
added the function of the social
worker as an advocate, aggres
sively advocating the interests
of the poor in the forums of
government. The MFY program
has also spawned a number of
Welfare Clients Groups in
which welfare recipients, acting
in concert, have successfully
sought redress of their griev
ances at the N Y. Department
of Welfare.
ing leadership of its past min
isters and devotion of the con
gregation, West Durham Bap
tist Church now stands as a
monument to their vision. The
church is located at 1001 Thax
ton Avenue between the east
and west campus of Duke Uni
versity. It has a modern build
ing with educational facilities.
The membership is over 550.
The late Dr. T. C. Graham
pastored the church for forty
three years and gave it an un
forgettable leadership. In ap
preciation to Dr. Graham for
his Christ-like spirit and lead
ership the church is dedicating
the modern education building
in his honor.

prize was a ham and second
prize was a basket of fruit.
Due to illness, the president
of the chorus, Mrs. Margaret
Butler was absent but Quincy
Langston, vice-president, was in
charge of the program which
was a success.
Mrs. Doris L. Mungo served
as mistress of ceremonies for
the programs. Mrs. Roberta
Joyner, secretary for the cho
rus, brought a big cake with
18 candles commemorating the
18th anniversary for the group.
Rev. V. E. Brown is pastor
of the church.
Although plywood panelled
doors made their appearance
in 1890, it wasn't until the de
velopment of the synthetic
resin adhesives in the 1920's
and '3o's that plywood began
to find widespread use as wall
panelling.
Today, to accentuate the
beauty of any room or build
ing, many architects and in
terior designers use wall panel
lings of Canadian yellow birch
plywood made from one of
the hardest of hardwoods.

Professional and amateur
builders like Canadian Birch
because it's so "workable."
Housewives prefer it, too, be
cause it's so easy to clean and
needs little care. What's more,
the rich golden tones of Cana
dian Birch and its subtle but
elegant grain blend with any
decor and add luxury to any
home.
