Adams was born at Albany In 188S and secured his education in the Muncie public schols.

Less than five months remaining until the end of their public school education, members of Central High School's senior class will be given opportunity to benefit from a general survey of vocational fields and to study, specifically a number of vocations, Principal Paul Addison has announced. Rotary Club, men's civic organization, and the Altrusa Club, women's civic organization, are sponsoring the program, which has been planed by school officials under the direction of Mrs. Erma B.

Christy, supervisor of guidance in the city schools. Cards Provide Information. Subject to change the program has been made from suggestions of the senior advisory committee composed of four faculty members and class officers with Mrs. Gladys Townsend, senior counselor, as chairman. The first unit of the program will be pre sented Tuesday morning when Jack Walters, of the Purdue University placement bureau, speaks to the class.

In planning the vocational guidance program the committee made use of information secured from cards filled out by seniors at the beginning of the school year upon which they indicated their interests. All of the units will be presented at the high school on Tuesday mornings from 8:15 to 8:45 oclock. In order to benefit as many of the class as possible the program has been divided into two units talks of general interest and talks of interest to specific groups. In the general In terest division the amis are to bene fit those seniors who have no' specific vocational interest, to appeal to those who think they have a specific Inter est ana wno yet may be benefitted by tne same talks as the first eroun and to help all seniors to be better able to adapt themselves vocationally in times when selection of a vocation is difficult. Hobbies Will Be Discussed.

"How to Select a Vocation" Is the subject of the first units of the uro gram.

MOVIE OF RECENT SOUTHERN TRIP IS SHOWN AT DINNER Ball State College students and graduates who took the 2,200 mile field trip through seven southern states during the recent Christmas holidays reviewed the high points of their visit at a dinner last night in the club room of Lucina Hall in the motion pictures shown by Irvin Miller, of Windfall.

Dr. Robert R. LaFollette. college social science head who conducted the field trip, presided at the dinner. The films also taken bv Mr.

Miller included views of The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals, first Confederate Capitol at Montgomery. Negro cabins and southern Negro types, Norris dam and the model town of Norris, -and Fort Sumter and Charleston, S. scenes. Among the guests at the dinner were President and Mrs. L.

Ifr is reported that a barn near Albany still bears the weather beaten picture of a white horse painted by the once obscure Wayman Adams. Fame Came Gradually. Barn painting had its limitations, financially and artistically, Adams soon learned. No matter how well a champion beef or horse was portrayed, it would never bring him more than local fame. So Adams enrolled in the John Herron Art School at Indianapolis.

According to a statement by Adams himself, his work there promised little of his present note. He was surpassed, so his teachers judged, by several other embryo daubers. Europe awaited him after Indianap olis. He was the pupil of William N. Chase, famed American artist, at Florence, Italy, in 1910, and the pupil of another American artist, Robert Henri, at Madrid, Spain, in 1912.

Back home in America fame and fortune came to him gradually. He captured prize after prize in various exhibitions where his work was shown. Commissions from wealthy Americans for portraits and full length figures came tripping on the heels of his fame. Soon he was financially independent and one of the three or four ranking portrait painters of the coun- try. Brings Out Personalities.

Two qualities, plainly seen in the current exhibit, brought Adams to the fore in artistic circles: His ability, shared with many ordinary painters. to record what he saw with excellent craftsmanship, and the rarer knack of observing, seeing what other men did not see, possessed only by a few artists. Character portrayal Is the one dominant quality of the canvases In the exhibit that opens today. This quality will be the first noticed by the gallery-goer. The subjects of his canvases are more than pretty compositions and photographic likenesses; they are entities with, individual personalities that definitely set them off from John Smith or Tom Brown.

Adams is not one of these painstak ing, meticulous portrait artists who sacrifices the soul of his subject to detail and pretty painting. With bold. rapid strokes he records the fleeting glimpses of character he detects in the fact of the sitter. Detail and careful painting, in the academic sense of the word, are inconsequential matters. Strikingly individual can vases, rather than something that might have done almost as well by color photography, are the happy result.

Humorous Character Sketch. "Love Seat" in the current exhibit is a rare and humorous character study. Adams must have chuckled satirically when he named it. "Henpecked" or "Conquest" would have been a better caption. Man and wife, one guesses, are sitting stiffly side by side, being photographed, calling on strangers, whichever is correct does not matter overly much.

He is a slight man and a worker, to judge by his not too well pressed clothes, loosely knotted bow tie, and limp cap dang- Flease Turn to Page Twelve, Section One.

The Visiting Nurse Association is a Community" Fund agency and largely dependent upon it for the financial support. Some funds are earned through the charge to patients who can pay for nursing service, others from insurance companies, which provide nursing service to their policy holders. The association's service is largely in the homes of those served by the nurses. The home takes the place of the hospital, when the patient's illness is of such nature that he or she can remain at home, when finances or degree of illness does not warrant hospital care.

Norses Hospital Graduates. The year 1935 is the start of the eighteenth year of service in the community of the Visiting Nurse Associa-: tion. The work was started in 1916 with two nurses by the Federated Club of Clubs. As the years have passed the demand for service has increased in number and scope of activity. In the early days of the association less educational work was given.

By the end of the tenth year the association was 6 per cent self-supporting, from fees derived through service rendered. At the beginning of the eighteenth year less than 35 per cent is available in cash receiDts due t- enlargement of the educational, pro gram ior wnicn no charge is made mis consists of child welfare, pre i iuxLai, iuuuw-up on an illness as needed, and tuberculosis cases.

Appointment of Cantain Paul Hanna, Democrat, and Major Guy Hagerty, Republican, as members of tne citys sinking fund commission, was announced yesterday by Mayor S. H. Bunch. They succeed Mrs. F.

Parkinson, the two comprise the commission that bas to do with the city's bonded indebtedness, Including liquidation of bonds and interest charges as they become due. At the present time, due to lack of funds, bonds due are being withheld payment awaiting sale of temporary notes, already approved by the city council.

There is $9,500 to be raised by this means to meet vuiAiiLmniiK me commission. Later, a refunding ordinance will be acted upon by the council. Mayor Bunch said yesterday that consideration now is being eiven" a proposal that the city barns in Hoyt avenue, now used as street department headquarters and as a garage iut repair and storage of street trucks and other equipment of the department, be altered. He has suggested that the structure now on the city-owned real estate, be turned around and relocated on the rear of the premises and that space not necessary to the building proper be landscaped and converted into a community recreation site. There is a probability that the changes could be made at this time with federal aid, at least for labor costs, the mayor said, which would furnish a new and previously un-thought of made-work project that the city would benefit through.

Presumably, proper officials of the city will give immediate consideration to the plans suggested by the chief executive. at of Mrs. Mary Earley. Mrs. Mary Earley, police matron, will continue in charge of the free employment service operated in the city hall, Mayor Bunch has announced, and in addition will do welfare work with the assistance of Mrs.

CASES IN RURAL PARTS Fight Against Disease County-Wide In Scope. In attempting to fight tuberculosis on a county-wide basis, the program must be planned so as to reach all parts of the county, whether it be tuberculosis clinics, tuberculin testing, health education, nursing service or sanatorium care, according to Miss Chloe M. Jackson, executive sec retary of the Delaware County Tu berculosis Association. She pointed out that from Delaware County, two patients out of seven at the state santorium at Rock-ville are from rural sections, one out of three at the Ella B.
