PAGE FOUR THE TWIG Exchange SHALL DECIDE” Eighteen years ago a war was ended that was supposed to have ended all wars. However much It may have accomplished, there is still the urgent need for us to preserve what is left of world peace. Two wars recently have attracted the eyes of the world. Two wars have started the world on a rampage to start or stop wars, which to do most nations do not know. They seem to be stopping wars, but in reality they are starting them by fur nishing them with food, guns, and am munition. For the sake of a few dol lars in income some nations are sell ing their souls, so to speak. They are selling something that cannot be re bought, as can the essentials of every day living. We, the youth of this nation, will be responsible for such things when we are a few years older. We will buy ORIGINAL PAINTINGS DISPLAYED IN ART SOCIETY EXHIBIT An exhibit of original paintings, loaned by famous galleries in New York and Washington, Is being dis played this week and part of next week at the Sir Walter Hotel in cele bration of the tenth anniversary of the State Art Society.

December 12,1936 ETCHINGS OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS BEING EXHIBITED HOLIDAY GREETINGS We Wish You All VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR THE CALLY "Where the Elite Meet and Eat" The American Art Association sends to us the second of the four exhibits which will come to Meredith this year. This time it is an exhibit of etchings representing a cross section of the works of recognised contem porary artists who have agreed to sell their prints for five dollars through the association instead of the twenty or thirty dollars which they had formerly been getting. Because every single work was made from the original plate, it is strictly limited in edition, and each print is individually pencil-signed by the artist. A wide scope of subjects range all the way from the winter landscapes of C, Jaque Young down to Irwin Hoffman’s La Cucheracha. There are duck hunters and ducks of Ettinger; the old sailing ships of Owen; fishermen of Pitz and Brown; character sketches of Margulies and Brooke; landscapes of Moskowitz Young, Blanh, Williams, Feine, Lu- cioni, Dehn, Lee and Rhocke; street- scenes of Kappie, Myers, Hardy and Blum; horses of Lowell and circus elephants of Curry; Spanish life iu Louis Szanto’s Spanish Fusta; child life in Ryerson’s Allegro; and the aviator of Heasllp.
