For every floor except asphalt tile you can use a liquid solvent based wax. This is the same kind of wax as paste wax. In liquid form it cleans as it polishes. You can tell it from its "need to polish" label. For floors that aren't wood or cork you can also use a water wax.

Probably you'll need to do a complete waxing job on your floors only twice a year if you use liquid solventbased wax. Gardner Dodges Wed 50 Years Capt. Donald J.

LUTHERAN MINISTERS NEW YORK -(P)- Ten seminaries of the Lutheran Church in America will graduate 319 students this spring. Women in Our Lives A Civic Recognition Series -Journal-Times Photos Leisurely gallery-gazing is pleasant on the second floor of the Kamerman Gallery at 309 Fourth where Tudy Itkin Kamerman is pictured above with some of the paintings currently on exhibit. Although she calls herself a "Sunday painter" as distinguished from a professional, Mrs. Kamerman studied at the Art Institute and the Contemporary Art Workshop in Chicago, and spent a year in Europe in additional study in painting and ceramics.

Below, a corner of the gallery's first floor, with sculpture by LaMalfa and Kurhajec in the foreground. City's Art Lovers Join Game of Gallery-Gazing Gallery-gazing has come Racine, as it has to an increasing number of cities throughout the country. It's the In thing to do. Here it's concentrated in a small, squared building that perches on the bank of Root River, nudging the abandoned Fourth St. bridge and neighboring the fire station at Fourth and Wisconsin St.

It is the Kamerman Gallery, and its neighbor across the street is the Racine Savings Loan Assn. Its proprietor, chatelaine and hostess who dispenses coffee don't mind tea and a lot of offthe-cuff information about art and artists is Mrs. Robert (Tudy) Kamerman of 2808 Michigan Blvd. The fledgling Kamerman gallery, the outgrowth of a dream some four years in the realization, offers art on a rental and time-payment basis, as well an an out-and-out purchase basis. Its wares range from jewelry and ceramics with an to originals whose costs run into three and four figures.

More threes, how- ever. Grows Up with Art Steeped in an art background since childhood (her mother, a professional painter, signs her canvases Ida Itkin and her father, David Itkin, is a former director at Goodman Theater of the Art Institute and the drama department of De Paul University) Tudy Kamerman considers herself basically a "Sunday painter." For the gallery, she's concentrating on professionals, those who earn their living in the field of art. Three years ago, she opened a small gallery in her home on Northwestern hoping, as she says, that "if people could see different expressions of arts and crafts in a home, they might sooner realize their own capacity to care for it in their own homes." Frequent Change Mrs. Kamerman points out that in her present gallery, most of the work is on consignment, so that it can be changed frequently, within three months. She launched 1963 with an exhibit of recent paintings by John Goray of Kenosha, following it in February with an exhibit of paintings by Doris Rudoff of Glencoe, Ill.

Two weeks in March drew a record number to the gallery to see the of; ferings of the Racine Art Guild, and the current display features sculpture by Francine Zak and paintings and watercolors by Seren Flax, both of Highland Park, Ill. Upcoming in May, opening toon the 12th and continuing through the 31st, is a dual exhibit of paintings and watercolors by Bill Armstrong of Arena, and sculpture by James La Malfe, instructor at Washington Park High School. Burkert Show Robert Burkert of Milwaukee, husband of the former Nancy Elholm of Racine, will exhibit recent graphics in a much-awaited show opening June 2 and continuing through the 22d. During the summer also Mrs. Kamerman looks forward to an exhibit of her mother's paintings.

Gallery-goers viewing the more current trends in art should keep in mind, Mrs. Kamerman believes, that the artist's purpose and goal is to experiment to create rather than imitate. Not that the Kamerman gallery is exclusively avante garde. It isn't. If your artistic taste runs to trees that look like trees, birds that are indubitably birds, and landscapes that depict landscapes, you'll find them.

You'll find dramatic abstracts, too. And if you just want to browse and look around, you can do that, too. Because no one believes more firmly than Tudy Kamerman that art is its own best salesman, and that the more you see of it, the better you'll like it. She may very well be right. -Lucy Colbert -Charles Studio Patricia Anderson Affianced The engagement of Patricia Jean Anderson to Carl D.
