July 16, 1955 Oshkosh Northwestern Hiland and Kabke Say Marriage Vows In a 9 o'clock ceremony this King of 'Realizes Screen Queen Famous Sculptress Born, Raised in Oshkosh. VNA Record Services "THE URN" BY HELEN Bronze Statues To Be Found In Many U.S. Cities The name, Helen Farnsworth Hears, has become so synonymous vith art that many people, even In Oshkosh where the sculptress as born, think of her in terms cf art rather than as a person. Members of the Twentieth Century Club are familiar with the name through the Wisconsin Federation of Women's Clubs with which the club was affiliated for many years. The federation permanently sponsors a memorial art contest for students of the eighth grade among the public schools of all denominations in the state, known as the Helen Farnsworth Hears Contest.

School children have grown familiar with the artist's name through the contests, but, even they often know little about the talented woman. Oshkosh art students have won Helen Farnsworth Mean awards without knowing that the woman which the contest honored was born in their own city. Many Oshkosh citizens are familiar with the work of the sculptress because her bronze statues are to be seen in such public places as the Oshkosh Public Museum, the Paine Art Center and Arboretum, Twentieth Century Clubhouse and Oshkosh State College. "Dawn of Labor" a Mears bronze, was for many years a familiar sight at Oshkosh High School but is presently on loan to the museum for lack of a suitable and safe place to display it at the present high school. An entertaining account of the Mears family of Oshkosh, particularly of the life and works of the sculptress, Helen Farnsworth Mears, is to be found in both the Oshkosh Public Museum and pub-j lie library.

It was prepared, after extensive research, by Mrs. 0. A. Crowell of Almond, for the Stevens Point Women's Club in 1946. Mrs.

Crowell was then state art chairman of the Wisconsin Federation of Women's Clubs. In the forward of her article Mrs. Crowell states that when she was thinking about giving a talk on the sculptress she wanted to get a more intimate feeling about morning at St. Vincent's Catholic Church Miss Lillian E. Ililand became the bride of Lloyd John Kabke.

John Jung, cousin of the bridegroom served as best man. Ush ers were Bruno Hinz and Edward Ililand, brother of the briide.

Mrs. Ruth Steve served as ma tron of honor. She was attired in a street length gown of pale blue and white dotted nylon, featuring a cowl collar ending with a white velvet bow at the back of the neck. She wore a corsage of pink roses. Bridesmaid was Miss Mary Ann Erving, niece of the bride, whose gown and flowers fashioned like tliose of the matron of honor.

The bride was attired in a street length gown of white dotted nylon. It featured a cummerbund around the waist. Her veil, of silk illui.sion, -was caught to a white net hat encrusted with iridesccnts. She carried a shaded lavender or chid on a white prayer book. Mrs.

Hiland chose for her daugh ter's wedding a navy blue dotted sheer dress with white accessories. The bridegroom's mother, Mrs. Kabke, wore a dusty rose rayon and nylon dress with navy acces sories. Both women wore corsages of white glamellias. 1 Following the ceremony, Mr.

Gable and the vivacious blonde had an earlier fling at love when the actor returned to MGM after World War II. "But you know what happens when the girl wants to marry and the man doesn't want to be rushed," one close pal of Gable's says.

"This time, ten years later, she is independently wealthy and wasn't interested in marriage after her unhappiness with Spreck-els. Gable talked her into marriage. He hesitated before because she was young and an actress, but now she is mature," What is the woman like who won a second chance to be Gable's wife? Clicks As Model Kay has been described as an "ex-actress." Actually she came from a well-to-do Erie, family. The intelligent, beautiful girl landed a coveted job on a New York fashion magazine when she was only 23. She also was a top New York fashion model.

When she married a boy back home, a big picture magazine covered the event. After that first marriage failed Kay moved to Hollywood for an MGM career. Her second conquest was Argentine sportsman Martin de Alzaga Unzue. She left him in ocia i SiJefiqifa Mrs. George Hinde, daughter of Mr.

Three years later he claimed he gave her $30,000 in cash and gifts because she promised to re-marry him but eloped with the richer Adolph Sprcckels.

Her marriage with Spreckels was a stormy one, but friends say Kay "tried, her best to make it work." At their divorce, Spreckels charged she once tried to romance Gable at their swimming pool (which she denied). She's a Combination The new Mrs. Gable is a combination of Carole Lombard, Gable's third wife, and Lady Sylvia Ashley, his fourth. Kay is a cheerful witty "Good Joe" type who can also put on a simple black Dior dress and pearls and be a charming, perfect hostess. She is a good mother to her two children, and Gable brags to friends about "the great way she handles her kids." Her pre-Gable home had tasteful, traditional furniture.

Kay is honest, forthright and "doesn't like phonies." She is a natural beauty who wears little make-up and simple, expensive clothes. Most of her evening dresses are black and white sheath gowns. She golfs with Gable in a skirt, tailored blouse and cashmere sweater, Will it last? "Clark loves to sit back and laugh at her conversation," one friend says. "He seems vastly entertained by Kay. They are very comfortable with each other.

They go on hunting trips together and Lady Sylvia never would do that." Some Hollywood observers point out both are thrice-divorced and Kay has a record of violent marriages. But their friends think the two "are so companionable." "Why, he calls her 'ma' and Kay calls him 'pa'. That's real love," one friend says.

Cardiac patients and handicapped children were also cared for, and the VNA staff also gave assistance at the Red Cross Blood Bank.

Since its inception the Visiting Nurse Association has branched out into many fields. The policy of the organization has been to spon sor worth-while civic health projects until qualified groups were formed to take them over. One of the first was milk for needy children in the public schools; also hot meals for children of the Fresh Air School. These projects were sponsored and financed by the VNA until taken over -by the schools of Oshkosh. In 1929 the association opened a camp for children who needed special care.

For a decade this camp, known as House," was financed by the association's share of funds from the Wisconsin Antituberculosis Association. Due to chancing local conditions and, guided by the WATA, the VNA decided to give up the camp project and turn the seal sale over to the local Junior Chamber of Commerce Auxiliary, a competent group of young women who have successfully conducted the drive in recent years. An auxiliary was formed in 1931 to assist the board of the VNA with well-baby clinics and mothers' classes. This group eventually became known as the Infant Welfare Auxiliary, concerning itself with the task of maintaining well babies in the community by offering care to those who are in need. With the possibility of employing the services of a physical therapist, a second auxiliary was formed by the VNA in 1937 to sponsor and organize this phase of health service and rehabilitation work.

In time this group became known as the Curative Workshop Auxiliary. A third group was formed to work with cerebral palsy patients and became known as the Cerebral Palsy Auxiliary. Although a separate auxiliary, this group works closely with the Curative Workshop Auxiliary, giving occupational therapy treatment to cerebral palsy patients. At the annual meeting of the VNA and its auxiliaries, held this week, announcement was made that the Curative Workshop had been released from its responsibil ities to the board of the VNA, thereby becoming an independent organization. By this recent action, it was pointed out, the VNA has continued to carry out its program of service to the community by sponsoring a project until it is established sufficiently for a competent group to operate it independently.

If you take extra salt, you will feel better. Just ordinary table salt will do.

A teaspoonful of common salt three times a day with a full glass of water will restore to your body both the fluid and salt you lose in perspiration. It's a bit hard to swallow plain salt. It doesn't taste very good The salt tablets on the market are made to taste better than plain salt. Also most of the salt tablets contain a mixture of salts more nearly like the body salts you lose in sweat. How many salt tablets you need depends upon how hot it is.

If you take salt tablets yourself and give them to your children during very hot weather, you'll find you get through the very hot spells with much better family dispositions.

Mrs. Crowell says that she found the entire family so talented that she had difficulty in writing about Helen without including the other members of the family.

As a baby in her high chair, Helen began her sculpturing activities by biting her bread into forms of animals and people. Sometimes, it seems, the results were quite enibarassing for their striking resemblance to some of the neighbors. Mrs. Crowcll's interesting account says; "At nine Helen modelled a bust of Apollo. One source says Duuer ana anomer in another 'in clay.

At any rate it was exhibited at the county fair and in an Oshkosh store window." This was the beginning of a career that was to bring the Osh kosh girl international fame as a sculptress. "Repentence" modelled when she was 14 years old, was photographed and taken by a friend to the famous sculptors, J. Q. A. Ward and Augustus Saint Gaudens.

These two masters invited the young girl to make free use of their studios in New York but it was many years before Miss Mears availed herself of the opportunity. In 1392, with no training from an acknowledged artist, she was given a commission for a nine foot marble figure to represent her slate at the Worlds Columbian Ex position in Chicago. This figure, which she called the "Genius of Wisconsin," when exhibited, won her the prize of 'M offered by the Milwaukee Women's Club. The money enabled Miss Mears to go to New York where Gaudens took her into his private studio as an assistant. The "Genius of Wisconsin," now stands in the rotunda of the capitol building at Madison.

Miss Mears went to Paris in 1895 and studied under some of the greatest European artists. There she was again associated with Saint Gaudens who was 'working on the Sherman monument and it was at this time that she modelled her bas-relief of the master, the original of which is owned by the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. In 1S09 Miss Mears received the com mission for a portrait bust of George S. Albee, first president of the Oshkosh Normal School which is well known to students of Oshkosh State College. "Fountain of Life was a production which took five years of her life and is regarded not only as Miss Mears" masterpiece, but as one of the great artistic con ccptions of the age.

Other statues modelled by the sculptress include a bust of George Rogers Clark placed in the Milwaukee Public Library, the portrait statue of Frances E. Willard for the Hall of Fame at Washington, D. and a bas-relief of Edward MacDowell, the first cast of which is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York According to one account of the life of the sculptress, when she died on Feb, 17, 1916 at the age of 42 years, her studio was-literally full of artistic creations i represented in various imperma-; nent forms which a few years more of health would have enabled her to secure to the world for all time." Like those impermanent products 1 of the sculptress' skill, which will be lost to the world, lovers of Miss Mears' artistry point out, even her burial place may be lost to pos-i terity because she now lies in an uiliarked grave at Riverside Cemetery.

With her friend, Miss Fannie Medberry, she1 drove past the old Mears home at 71 Parkway which has been the home of the W.

Don't lis ten to your son he isn't the one who will be left alone on the last lap of the road. Dear Mrs. Landers: About a month ago, I went out with a boy without my parents' permission.

Since they found out they won't be lieve me when I say I am going out with one of my girl friends. Nothing I say or do seems to help me regain their trust in me; I am allowed only to go to school. How can I change things? I am 14. J.W. That, Sweetie-pie, was one big boner.

Once you have given a parent reason to believe he cannot trust you you are sunk. All you can do now is to tread the straight and narrow path, continue to promise that you will never repeat your error and ask for chance to prove that you are sorry and trustworthy. It will take a long time but eventually your parents will lengthen the leash and try you out again. Far be it from me to point out that you deserve what has happened and 'to beg of you to revet the halo in place and keep it there as crime really does not pay. Dear Ann Landers: Recently, I was in love with a 21-year-old boy who loves me very much.

I have now lost interest in him but he keeps calling and dropping in and nags at me to know what is the matter. What can -I do? NOT INTERESTED Tell him. Let him in on the secret and in time, he'll have to accept it. CONFIDENTIALLY: MRS. A.R.

She has a girl friend who keeps her out late riding around in cars once or twice a week, takes her horseback riding and wants to break us up. I tell her not to go with the girl but she says that she Is doing nothing wrong and can do as she pleases. Her parents have talked to her, too, but it goes in ne ear and out the other. I do not know what to do. I love her so much that I would even give up my favorite sport of fishing if she would break up with the girl.

JOHNNY What a magnanimous offer! Johnny-boy, but quite unnecessary. Keep your fishing, let your girl friend keep her horseback riding. Keep your friends and let the girl friend keep hers. You two should be able to go on living normally and retain your friends and personal interests. even though you are in love.

Real love doesn't demand one's life blood, Boy! It is a flexible, generous, understanding, tolerating emotion that recognizes and accepts the personal, human rights of the other. When you must dictate to, swallow alive and monopolize the other person, as you want to do, you are not ready for mar riage. On the reverse side ot the coin, if your girl friend is not ready1 to give up riding around in cars several times a week to a late hour without the boy she is supposed to love, she is not ready for marriage. Two and two still add up to four, which means neither of you is ready for an engagement or marriage. Dear Ann Landers: We have grown children but recently I learned that my husband has been having an affair with one of the women be has been taking home from work.

She is a grandmother and has her own apartment where they spend considerable time, together. My son tells me to get a divorce but my religious beliefs do not permit that. My husabnd tells me that it is all over and the women is now married. I do not be lieve him and feel that if I could meet her, her family and her husband I might be able to believe him. I know that I can force him to take me to her as he does not want to leove me and lose his family.

What should I do? PERPLEXED What do you expect to gain by dragging the corpse around? Your husband told you that the affair was over and indicates that he is sorry; that he does not want to lose you and his family so why AP Newsfeatures It's not the heat, it's the humidity. How many times every summer we hear this old gripe. Of course it's true, too. It is the humidity that makes hot weather so uncomfortable. The children are hot and cranky," mother is damp and irritable, and Dad comes home wilted down and exhasuted.

In hot weather we all perspire. The hotter the weather the more sweat pours out on our skin. The sweat evaportaes and the process of evaporation cools the body. This is nature's way of keeping the body temperature constant even when the weather is very hot. If the climate is hot and dry (that is, the humidity is low) the sweat evaporates quickly so quickly that you may not even feel damp.

However, when the humidity is high the air is already so full of moisture that the sweat evaporates slowly. Your skin stays damp and you feel uncomfortable because your body isn't cooled by the evaporation of the sweat. The hotter it is, the more you sweat. The sweating means you are losing water through your skin. Your body becomes dry on the inside and you have the urge to drink.

But sweat isn't just plain water. Sweat contains a lot of salt. In hot weather the tired cranky feeling is due to the loss of salt from your body. If the humidity is high, you feel wet and sticky as Now Is the Time TO FILL LOCKERS WITH SURPLUS BERRIES AND VEGETABLES. Save $100 Year on Grocery Bills and Live Better With Our Locker Food Plan.
