ART REVIEW
Geoffrey Jenkinson’s Paintings
Combine Detail and Composition
If variety is, in truth, the spice
of life, then the Southern Pines
Library Gallery is contributing its
fair share of this exotic condiment.
Last week, we welcomed an ar
tist of 16, a school girl, whose tal
ent is just budding. This week the
gallery is proud to announce the
exhibit of one of the most finished
professionals ever to show here;
we might safely go on to say, ever
to show in so small a gallery.
In the work of Geoffrey Jenkin-
son, distinguished British painter
now living in Thomasville, the art
world recognizes one who has
shown in many lands and won
wide acclaim. He has had paint
ings accepted by the Royal Acad
emy in London. His work hangs
in galleries throughout England.
Since coming to this country, he
has exhibited in Chapel Hill, Ral-
eight, Charlotte and other towns
of the state.
Mr. Jenkinson works in several
mediums and has assembled
paintings showing this variety of
attack and conception. There are
the large oils of scenes in Japan;
there are wash drawings and
there are quite amazing water-
colors.
Fabulous Detail
It is the latter that wiU, we be
lieve, attract most notice. The
fabulous attention to detail, shows
a minute and painstaking concen
tration and effort to weary the
beholder, if the work itself did
not, immediately and inevitably,
carry him on into the heart and
mood of the painting
This unusual quality, or combi
nation of qualities, is most appar
ent and most effective in “Spires
of Manhattan.” Here we have the
city, viewed from the North, look
coming torch in air. On the left
the East River and its bridges
curves along the serried ranks of
buildings, low-at first and taper
ing up into the spires of the finan
cial world with its dark canyons
of streets between. Far beyond is
the lower harbor and the misty
headlands of the port. That’s the
picture; but come closer and peer
and you see that these streets and
buildings are shown in every tiny
meticulous detail: rows and rows
of windows, lines and lines of
roofs. Wjiat patience this artist
has! What perseverance! One
would think such detail would de
tract from the atmosphere of the
whole, but it does not; and here,
surely, lies the uniqque talent of
this painter. All this detail—and
mood, too!
English Atmosphere
Another watercolor that is most
appealing is that of the English
countryside: “Valley of the
Wharfe”. The soft checkerboard-

night at its regular monthly
meeting to have manager Tom
Cunningham make a thorough
ed fie^s stretch away under the''investigation of the present traf-
soft light that only England’s gen- fic patterns in the business area
tie atmosphere can give. There is
perhaps a static quality to these
paintings: little feel of life or ac
tion, except in the watercolor of
the great Thames-Clyde Express
leaving St. Pancreas Station for
the North. Here the sense of pow
er, of gathering speed, is strongly
evident. ,
Mr. Jenkinson must have been
sticking to oils when he was in
the Orient. At least the three
paintings in Tokyo are done in
oils, laid on rather thick. Color
effects are pleasing, jewelled; but
these paintings are “scenes”; they
hardly come alive.
One of the nicest works in this
show is in one or two small draw

Dr, Timmons To Begin Vesper Service
Series With Talk On Taith Healing’
The Advent Vespers at the Con
gregational Christian Church of
Wide Fellowship, beginning this
Sunday at 4:30 p.m., will deal with
the much discussed subject of
“faith healing,” according to Dr.
W. C. Timmons, pastor.
The current best seller in this
field is the book, “Faith Healing
and the Christian Faith,” by Wade
H. Boggs, now on the faculty of
Union Theological Seminary at
Richmond. Dr. Timmons will use
the book as the basis of his discus
sion.
Other books to be reviewed in
the vesper series include “Caleb,
My Son,” by Lucy Daniels, who
writes of the South’s dilemma in
terms of a pathetic, but lovable
Negro family; “The Trumpet of
God,” by David Duncan, telling
the moving and mysterious story
of the Children’s Crusade; “The
Wonderful Way,” by Frank Clar-
voe, who weaves a fascinating
story around a young Episcopal
rector, who ultimately finds the
way; and “Walk in Love,” by Hen
rietta Buchmaster, the moving life
drama of the man Saul who be
came Paul.
Dr. Timmons reports that he has
found the interpretation of current
books to be a most interesting and
helpful way to seek out the basic
truth of many of life’s pressing
problems, especially where the
principles of the Christian religion
Eire concerned. He originated and

Position Open At

The executive secretary of
the Board of U. S. Civil Service
Examiners at Fort Bragg an
nounced today that there is a va
cancy to be filled at once for the
position of aircraft hydraulic sys

Base.
The job is: to overhaul hydrau

craft. To qualify, it takes four
years of experience as aircrsift
mechanic, two of which must
have been as hydraulic systems

of the town and report at the
December meeting on the feasi
bility of installing psirking
meters. The need, if there is one,
would only be determined after
such an exhaustive survey had
been accomplished, council
pointed out.
The matter of parking meters
was brought out following a
long and detailed discusion of
the present state of the police
force. In the past few months the
force has had an alarming turn
over in personnel, a situation
partially traced to the long hours
on duty policemen presently are
serving, and the comparatively
low pay they receive.
Cunningham told the council
that there probably wasn’t an
other town in the state of com
parable size to Southern Pines
that pays its policemen less; and
working hours are generally less
than those here, he pointed out.
Council has discussed parking
meters several times in the past
but Edways turned thumbs down
on the idea. It was generaUy con
ceded at the Tuesday meeting,
however, that meters may be the
answer to two pressing prob
lems: alleviating the congested
parking conditions on the busy
streets in the business area, and
helping to ease the work that the
policeman on duty must do to
keep traffic orderly.
Cunningham said that most of
the policemen had a strong dis
taste for traffic duty, or “mark
ing cars” as the policemen put it.
to keep the two-hour limits, or
one-hour limits as it is in some
places, in force.
The question arose in Council:
are policemen, after being train
ed, leaving the town because of
that discouragement?
Cunningham said that traffic
duty normally was the first as
signment for a new policeman.

problems. Very few people ob

according to several studies Cun
ningham referred to. Rather,
most drivers welcome the meters
because they keep parking places
open much more of the time.
Revenue from parking meters
is one of the big hesitations in
their eventual installation.
Towns cannot install them mere
ly as revenue producing sources,
but only to help traffic and park
ing problems.
It is true, council agreed, that
revenue had an indirect bearing

Commissioner Is
Kiwanis Speaker
North Carolina Commissioner of
Agriculture L. Y. “Stag” Ballen-
tine, speaking at a luncheon of the
Sandhills Kiwanis Club, stated to
day that the American people
should learn to live in an econo
my “in which we have the ability
to produce more than we can use.”
He further stated that “never in
history had so few done so much,”
referring to the farmers. He said
that in recent years over 500,000
farmers had left the soil.
Commissioner Ballentine report
ed that broiler production in
Moore County had risen from an
annual production of four million
in 1940 to 60 million in 1956. He
said that the 15-year farm cash in
crease had been 366 per cent,
though complete mechanism had
not taken place; that tobacco, the
principal crop, was stiU being
worked to a great extent by hEmd.
J. Hawley Po^ole of West End,
former Senator'from this district
and a prominent farmer, intro
duced the speaker and said that
the program was in observance of

Come the holidays, come left-overs! U.sualljr, they’re from that

joyed at the idea of eating thtm. Here’s a happy new way to stage
a “welcome back” to the dining '.able for those remaining tid-bits
—pleasing the family palate with tasty new “Hi Ho Turkey Drum
sticks”. Left-over turkey combined with seasonings and finely
crushed crumbs from rich buttery crackers does the trick. Here’s
how, the quick end easy way:
Hi Ho Turkey Drumsticks
1 cup thick turkey gravy or
thick white sauce
1 teaspoon minced parsley
1 teaspoon grated onion
2 cups finely minced cooked
turkey
% teaspoon salt
% teaspoon pepper
1% cups finely crushed Hi Ho
Cracker crumbs
Shortening or salad oil
1 egg, beaten
18 canape picks (toothpicks trimmed v/ith paper frills on end)
Combine gravy, parsley, onion, turkey, salt, pepper and 1 cup
of the cracker crumbs. (5hill for at least 2 hours. Divide chilled
mixture into 6 portions. Roll each into the shape of a plump drum
stick. Heat enough shortening in a skillet to cover the bottom to
a depth of 1% inches. Dip “drumsticks” in beaten egg, then coat
with remaining half cup of crumbs. Fry until golden, turning once
to brown both sides. Remove to platter. Press 3 of the frilled
picks, close together, into one end of each to resemble bone of
drumstick. Makes 6 “drumsticks”.
