The passing of a decade has not worked a great deal of change in the fundamental outlook of the society that this reviewer can recall. The exhibitions have become larger, the roster of contributors more distinguished, the quality has reached steadily upward.

But the temper is generally the same. As in the case of all branches of the arts in this area, it indicates that the aesthetic norm for Connecticut is mainly conservative, that familiar scenes and objects are the best-loved, that sentiment is frequently mixed with the pigment, that a great store is set by craftmanship, that what goes on in other parts or phases of the art world does not make any considerable impress. Skilful Technique. These observations are not offered as novel, or derogatory. Good workmanship is admirable, anywhere, and picture for picture, there is probably more expert painting, especially in view of the trickiness of the medium, in the shows of the Connecticut Water-color Society than in any other local exhibitions.

This year's wa-tercolors are uniformly clean, vigorous, crisp and deft, technically. In one or two cases, someone has belabored the. medium, making it McConaughy Sets Monday As Navy Day Asks Schools Honor Theodore Roosevelt Memory at Exercises Governor McConaughy Friday designated Monday as Navy Day and called upon all citizens to pay tribute to "this gallant branch of our armed forces." Monday is also the birthday anniversary of former President Theodore Roosevelt. On Friday the Governor also issued a statement calling on schools to honor his memory by special exercises. In the Navy Day statement, the Governor said, in part: Cite Navy Spirit.

"From the 'iron men in wooden ships' who so fearlessly faced and defeated vastly superior forces in our early struggle for liberty to the powerful fleet which swept our country's enemies from the waters of the world in the most recent defense of our cherished freedom, the Navy has demonstrated the unconquerable spirit of America." The Governor described former President Theodore Roosevelt as a man "whose civic and patriotic contributions to our country wrote one of the most thrilling chapters in its history." tHis courage, vigor and imagination made him the outstanding personality of his time," the Governor said. "His intelligence and his sympathetic understanding of the problems of his fellow men were hall-marks of his vast integrity. He created a colorful era and a record of achievement that have imprinted his name indelibly in the minds of Americans." her DAR activities, Mrs. Minor, widow of Dr. George Maynard Minor, was also a member of the Litchfield.

Oct. 24. (AP.) neat and not gaudy. Sanford Low of New Britain has taken the William Bradford Green Memorial Award with another of his brilliantly virtuoso, intensely clarified items, "Ice Today," an architectural fantasy in king-size. The Dixie Prize is Henrik Mayer's "Beachcombers," a shore scene interesting mostly for the amorphic objects in the foreground.

Mr. Mayer is head of The Hartford Art School. Honorable mentions have been given Waldemar Nelfeld, Rox-bury, for "Apple Orchard;" Arthur Covey, Torrington, for "Old Inn Yard, New Orleans;" Irving Katzenstein, Hartford for "White Horse;" and Simka Simkovitch, Milford for "Still-life." My own fancy was caught by the brusque style, the sullen mood, the shaggy handling in "A Corner In Baltic" by an artist variously listed as Frido Urbanati or Urba-niti, of Norwich; the Dufy-like decorativeness of Charles Co-belle's "Notre Dame;" the sensitiveness of "Trees" by Gay Yous. Among the other items I liked the vigour and swiftness of John E. Dundin'i "Wet Track," the sound expertness of "Lime Kiln" by Herbert J.

Gute; the old-mezolint atmosphere of "The House In Mer-ryall" by Channing S. Smith; the forcefulness of "BMT Local Tracks" by Bradford R.
