Paintings from state collection on

located at 101 N. Chestnut Street in
Lumberton. Gaynell Bowles, special
audiences lecturer for the Museum,
will present a gallery lecture at 7:30
p.m. During the opening reception
The exhibition provides a profile
of the art of painting in North Carolina
in the first half of.his century. In some
cases* an example of which is "My
Mother," painted by Mable Pugh in
1924 when she was thirty-three years
old-represents an early career effort.
In other cases, the work stands as a
statement of the artist's mature style.
This is true of "Song Silence," a
1938 still life painted by Frank London
at the age of sixty-two. Several of the
artists are well-known favorites who
have been the subject of solo shows
organized by the Museum: Claude
Howell, Hobsoo Pittman, and Francis
Speight Works by the others while
less often seen in museums, grace
homes, campuses, and board rooms
across the state.
Programs related to the exhibition
will include a workshop led by Ms..
Bowles on March 24 during the
Robeson County School System's staff
development day. She will discuss the
North Carolina artists represented in
the exhibition, demonstrating how
they fit into American art history of
that period.
While the exhibition is on view,
slide programs on American art will
be presented in several local schools
by the Museum' s outreach volunteers
in Robeson County.
The exhibition and related activities
are part of the outreach program of the
North Carolina Museum of At, made

NC General Assembly to
hold Special Session
devoted to crime
In February the General Assembly
will convene a Special Session devoted
solely to the issue of crime Over the
past few months, the Governor, the
Speaker and 1 have met with dozens of
North Carolinians to discuss crime,
punishment and prevention
We heard many real life problems
and some real life solutions to crime
in our state But over and over it was
the same message from District
Attorneys, police, victims rights
advocates and local government
officials we must act now.
First, we must nuse the prison cap
because the alternative ts die wholesale
release approximately 3.000
dangerous criminals onto our streets.
Second, we mufct take a hard look
at violent criminals and repeal
offenders Life without parole should
be a sentencing option for Am-degree
murderers and rapists as well as for
repeal offenders on the "three strikes
and you're out" model
Another concern it our
jverburdened criminal court* The
Attorney General hat developed as
nnovati ve plan to reduce the ttrain on
xir courts and make our criminal
lustice system more efficient and
effective
Hie Senate will atao consider
intervention programs to aasist North
rarolina's at-risk children in the
middle school years. An after-school
program can offer planned educ at tonal
uid social activities where children
team from positive role models and
?void the temptations of the streets
I don't etpecf the General
Assembly to aolue all of our problems
jvemight However, we can begin to
reduce crime with common sense
ipproaches It is time to take control
>f a dangerous situation before it
incomes even worse The price of
inaction is simply too high
