ARTIST CAPTURES FAVORITE SCENES ON CANVAS Mrs. Mabel Cleaver is pictured with one of her paintings done when she resided in Oregon. "Gulls Coming Out of ihe Fog" is her name for the view of rugged coast embraced by surging surf and wispy mist with gulls soaring and gliding at home in their elements of sea and shore. The painting is one of the favorites of its creator who confesses she always has loved to watched the restless waves and the seagulls dipping in and out of spray and mist.

Artist's Zest For Learning Provides Impetus To Continuous Achievement and furnishings, her many interests Wencc. Both are teachers at Hilo High school, and Mrs. Wence shares her mother's art ability as arts and crafts teacher at Hilo High school. Mrs. Cleaver, who will be 76 her next birthday in January, is a person who has never stopped learning and who has used every opportunity to enrich her life with knowledge and to gain more skill in her hobbies.

"While living at La Grande, Oregon," she explained, 'l never stopped taking courses. I went back to school and received- my bachelor of arts degree after I was 60." She was graduated with honors, and at graduation was told by the dean "We are prouder of you than any of our young graduates because you had the courage to come back to school. We are sure this will be an inspiration to many'people who would like to come back but who have not yet found the courage." By THELMA OLIVAL "You've got to put much more into life than -you ever expect to get out of it which may sound harsh, except that it is by putting back into life that you get joy of achievement and happiness" Such is a portion of the philopsophy of Mrs. Mabel Cleaver of Hilo, who is an artist of ability in both water color and oil and who has exhibited and sold several of her paintings here and on the mainland. In addition, she also collects old glass, having several notable pieces.

Among them are a hob nail pitcher with amber band; a pitcher with ivy-in-snow pattern (one of her rarest); a very fine collection of vinegar cruets; pieces of ironstone china and milk glass; and a rare castor set of transparent blue sandwich glass, the first glass made in America. 'The reason I am so fond of glass is that it is the first American craft. It cost so much to get glass from England in those early colonial days that people had to get busy and make their own." Mis. Cleaver's home at 770 Kau-mana reflects her hobbies with its sunny atmosphere of bright curtains WINNING FLOAT IN CHRISTMAS PARADE Tuberculosis Society's float Friday night took first place honors in the annual Yuletide parade in Hilo, and won a i i il nl I I Telling something of her love ofjfhe 8 per cent growth factor dooj art.

Her other hobbies include interior decorating. On the mainland she bought several old houses, had repaired and re-decorated and sold them. Once she reconditioned and sold as many as three in a year. She also has done china painting (which she has given up and of which several nice pieces show her skilb. "I have laken several prizes for china painting but that was a long time ago," she remarked.

A pleasant lawn and garden surrounds Mis. Cleaver's home, and she has planned the landscaping and garden to bring it to its present charm. ''When I came here six years ago there was nothing but that lava rock and a few clumps of strawberry guava trees." she explained. Now it is a delightful retreat with small garden paths winding among tiee clumps, anthurium beds and fern ideal surroundings for an artist to find inspiration. During the past summer vacation she landscaped a water-lily pool for her daughter.

Record Of Red Atrocities Is Laid Before U.II. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. An official record of Red horrors in Korea, death marches, mass burnings, tortures and beatings in flicted by communists on U. N.

sol diers and Korean civilians was put before United Nations delegates Sat urday by the United States. Survivors told about unwary and helpless prisoners being shot down outside a Korean tunnel as they waited patiently with their rice bowls for promised food. Others said the Reds seemed to "get great joy out of letting us know they had the upper hand." They said the prisoners were a "three ring circus" for the enemy. Others reported the communists killed weak prisoners by clumsy injections of a mysterious solution. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.

had this report, prepared by the U. S. department of defense, distributed to the U. N. members to bol ster American charges that the Reds killed 29,815 soldiers and Korean civilians by atrocious methods.

Lodge will go before the assembly Monday with an hour-long speech and will demand that the delegates approve a resolution condemning such atrocities. Delegates of Britain, France, Australia and Turkey are co-sponsoring the resolution with Lodge. The mass of affidavits and official reports of investigations by American and Allied forces in Korea was accompanied by a letter from Roger P. Kyes, deputy secretary of de-fense. Kyes said the thick book rep- resented only a small part of the voluminous evidence of communist atrocities now in American custody.

"Many of the atrocities occurred while the U. N. forces were advanc ing and indicate a callous effort to kill off prisoners of war and civil ians in Communist hands before they could be reseued by our forces, Kyes said. "The prisoners were shot down in cold blood, were burned alive in prison buildings, were beaten to death In 'other instances evi dence demonstrates a deliberate at tempt by the communists to dispose of prisoners by forced marches in frigid weather under conditions in which they would either die of mal nutrition and disease, expire because of untended wounds or become so weak they could then be easily disposed of by open murder." Kyes said the case files indicate there were 11,622 military victims. 17,354 civilian, and 839 unknown.

In a report of atrocities in the prisoner of war camps, the United States quoted a prisoner as saying Chinese nurses gave shots to men and they died immediately after re ceiving them. The prisoner said food was bad and men were forced to eat grass and bark of trees. GEN. DEAN TO MARSHAL PASADENA ROSE PARADE PASADENA, Calif.

Soviet Bloc In Abstaining Mood At U.N. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.

The U. N. general assembly has called for new efforts to reduce the world's armaments and suggested this might be done by private talks among the big powers. Despite appeals for unanimity, the Soviet bloc abstained. Soviet Delegate Andrei Y.

Vishinsky contended the resolution was too general and that it failed to give the U. N. disarmament commission enough guidance. The vote was 54-0, with five abstentions. The assembly ejected Soviet Soviet amendments which called for recommendations by next March 1 for substantial reductions in the armaments of the big powers and for prohibition of atomic and hydrogen weapons.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. P) The U. N. general assembly has called upon the economic and social council to give priority at its next session to the question of freedom of information.

The vote was 53-0 with the Soviet bloc abstaining, Dulles Upholds Canada's View In Spy Inquiry WASHINGTON WP Secerlary of State John Foster Dulles turned down last night a request by Senator William E. Jenner that Canada be asked to permit senatorial spy investigators to question Igor Gouzenko without any Canadian curb on publication of Gouzen-ko's testimony. Canada had agreed reluctantly to allow the senate subcommittee to quiz Gouzenko, but laid down the condition that Canada must have the final say-so as to what parts of his testimony should be made public. Jenner rejected this condition, saying he could not commit himself to withhold information from congress. Jenner asked Dulles to send a new note to Canada laying this view before the Canadian authorities.

But Dulles wrote Jenner last night that it the United Stateji government were in a similar position with respect to information under its control, he believed it would place on that information the kind of restriction which Canada im posed.

Association SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (P) Gov. Luiz Munoz Marin says that he "as well as a majority of tlie Puerto Rican people" favor Puerto Rico's continued association the United States. The governor held a news confer ence on President Eisenhower's of fer, made Friday night throagh the chief U.S. delegate at the United Nations, to support complete Puer to Rican independence at any1 time the legislature here asks for it. Puerto Rico is now a commonwealth associated with the United Sttaes.

Many Puerto Ricans agreed with Munoz's view about continuing the associated with the United States, and others insisted that the presl dent's message had added nothing new except the importance of its delivery before U.N. Munoz described the Eisenhow er decision as "one of the biggrst and most honorable statements of anti-colonialist policy which the free world knows." The Independence party which demands complete freedom from U.S. rule took an opposite view Vincente Geigel Polanco, its legal adviser, said Eisenhower's message was a simDle admission of the fact that the Independence party was right in charging that Puerto Rico's present status is "just a colonial farce." Dr. Leopold Figueroa. leader of the Statehood party in the house of representatives, said the "President acted as a real democrat who re spects the people's will and ex pressed the Americans' anti-cplon-ialist way of thinking.

However, his opinion cannot be construed as an obligation, since the political way ol thinking in the Republican party's convention irt Chicago said that the party favored 'eventual' state hood for Puerto Rico."

She was just unpacking twenty of her paintings which she sent to a one-man show at Taft County gal-lerly in Oregon last June, "and they have asked me to show again next year," she remarked. Most of her paintings are done from sketches made while traveling about.
