Lloyd Woods Of Th9 Gmttt-Timt 8 Corvalli. Orgon, frittey, November 26. 1982 In Crcsn Exhibit comes to Portland PORTLAND The Portland Art Museum is hosting a national exhibit, "Of Time and Place: American Figurative Art from the Corcoran Gallery," through Jan. 2. The 75 works by American artists, which cover a 160-year period, capture people in everyday settings.

Included are paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and photographs. Cussing cartoons still entertaining for family The exhibition, organized by the Corcoyan oaliery and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, is in Portland as part of a nine-state tour. Special events include a film about American painting at 2 p.m. Sunday. Museum hours are noon to p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, and Friday until 10 p.m.

Admission is fl to $1.50. Admission is free on Sundays through Jan. 2 for people wearing football jerseys or baseball caps. Mansion plans open house WOODBURN The historic Settlemier House will be open for "Christmas Long Ago" from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

this weekend and Dec. 4 and 5. on his novel of the same name. It's a story I think children win enjoy, though I fear that a generation raised on the Saturday-morning cartoons the networks throw out might find the action a bit slow, the violence a bit sedate. Neither the drama nor the animation come close to matching that of an old Walt Disney The animated characters move cboppily, their faces are flat, and the scenery lacks a fluid quality it's merely a backdrop.

But these are faults noted by a cynical adult. Children and adults alike, though, should enjoy the folk-like music of "America," which pervades the film. The other G-rated movie, "Heidi's Song," is from the creators of much of the Saturday-morning junk Joseph Barbera and William Hanna. It features the voices of Lome Greene as the grandfather, Margery Gray as Heidi, Pamela Ferdin as Klara, and Sammy Davis Jr. as the Head Ratte.

Based on the novel "Heidi," by Johanna Spyri, this animated version is full of happy songs and more-fluid animation. Greene is in fine voice as the strong-willed grandfather. Gray's voice and the animator's vision of the character make Heidi seem like a cross between Shirley Temple and Pia Zadora. Again, adults won't want to sit through this one twice, but kids should like it It's easy to tell the good guys from the villians and there are enough pratfalls to keep any child happy. The story begins with Heidi being dumped on her grandfather by her Aunt Dete.

At first the old man is not keen on the idea of raising a grandchild. But, once he gets used to it. Aunt Dete comes back and takes Heidi away to the city where she is to be a companion for the crippled Klara. Klara 's governess, Fraulein Rottenmeier, doesn't take to Heidi. Never fear, though, anyone with a Shirley Temple smile always has a happy ending.

So, there you have it two movies for the kids. As a part of the Disney generation, you might not enjoy them as much, but it's the best you can expect these days. The cost of animation may be stifling future "Snow Whites" and'Pinocchios." "The Last Unicorn" is playing at 9th Street Cinema World. "Heidi's Song" is at Albany Quad Cinemas. -1 frequently get calls from parents who want to know if there are any movies clean enough for the entire family.

Their concerns are not unfounded. G-rated movies are few and far between. And PG truly means Parental Guidance. Most of the PG-rated movies of today are more risque than most of the controversial films of the '30s and '40s. I also regret to report that even G-rated movies are not up to the wholesome standards set by early Walt Disney films.

In one of the movies I saw this week, "damn" was uttered a couple of times. Now, I've got nothing against the word, but I didn't expect to hear it in a G-rated movie. I know from telephone conversations that many parents don't care to take kids to movies in which such words are spoken. But face it, folks, there's not much out there for you to take the kids to. A couple of damns muttered under the breath by a cartoon character probably won't damage your child's development.

The words are muttered so quickly that he probably won't even notice them, though you certainly will. For your family's enjoyment this week, you've got these G-rated animated movies: "THE LAST UNICORN," and "HEIDI'S SONG." Neither one would make an adult scream for more, but if you've got any kids under 8, you can make a night of it with the family. "The Last Unicorn," from Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, features the voices of Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Tammy Grimes, Robert Klein, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Lee, Keenan Wynn, Paul Frees and Rene Auberjonois. It's the story of a unicorn supposedly the last who takes it upon herself to find out what happened to the other unicorns.

She learns from a butterfly that they were chased into the land of King Haggard by the Red Bull. As she heads for King Haggard's land, she encounters a young would-be magician, Schmendrake, who helps her flee the clutches of Mama Fortuna. The unicorn and Schmendrake meet up with Mollie who has been waiting for decades for a unicorn to come. The trio heads for Haggard's land, where a few damns later they learn of the fate of the .4 "The Last Unicorn" was written by Peter S. Beagle, based The 14-room Victorian mansion, built in 1889, will be decorated for Christmas.

There will be piano and organ concerts. Baked goods and wassail will be available, and antique toys and trains will be on display.
