Cnptured Aroma Remington captured the aroma. Or as the books would put it nowadays, he was a documentary artist distinguished for meticulous historical There was another artist of the same era whose life and works offer a close parallel with those of Remington.

Smith Associated Press-Writer In the days of the real Old West, men were men and women had sense enough to stay out of their way. Its just possible the women folks didnt care for the aroma. For Indians, cowboys, trappers, soldiers, scouts and prospectors were men with the bark on, as one he-man observer of those days liked to put It A man on a sweaty Jtorse, chasing a dusty, musky old buffalo, was no glamor boy. Blood and Thunder And those were the days of what usually Is described as "blood and thunder," not to be confused with what the movies have chosen to portray in a spirit of thud and blunder, complete with girls In dainty crinoline.

Art Association Shows Work Leathercraft Show to Open Israel Youngster Show Is Vigorous, Colorful By George Dibble If the rays of the sun seem brighter across the deep orange cliffs of Cedar Breaks and the blue mountain ranges come clearer to vision across the southern Utah landscape; if the blue evergreens stand more tall at sunset and the white clouds catch a hopeful glow from the Red Hill at evening; if the citizens of a commonwealth know much more of- the achievements of her people; if they understand more readily, perceive life's values more keenly or laugh a little easier, it is because D.

C. Dix, a native son passed this A stay that was all too brief ended last week. But he left a clearer sense of values and lasting memories of his keen humor and intelligence. An artist and friend of the arts, he promoted community effort and initiative that flourished to national prominence. His incisive journalistic account of life in his community afforded readers of The Tribune a sincere look at people; their wise doings, their foibles, their happiness and disappointments.

His by line was a promise of pathos, humor and the best in human kind; their weaknesses were deprecated with subtlety and understanding. Flight of Waif A few lines on one occasion related the plight of a canine waif unfortunately separated from a tourist family but keeping a lonely vigil along the highway for a car that would never return. The Associ- ated Press wires carried the story to the world and the writer was deluged with communications from all parts of the nation. There were many more fortunate who came to know him personally and It is especially for them that he bears a sense of proportion, a breadth of understanding that is inseparable with the scope and color of the land where he lived. When folk touch the stars at night in the velvet firmament above Cedar Breaks or drive at noon through the sun blessed hills or contemplate the yucca blossoms in moonlight along the valley floor they will remember Cleo Dix.

Children Art Sincere Unsurpassed for spontaneity and vigor, the paintings of children cherish a quality of forthrightness and sincerity that is matched only by youthful exhuberance and decorative charm. The medium of the painter Is by nature congenial to candor, imagination and confidence uninhibited by the objective demands of adult painting. Success comes as a wholesome shorthand that circumvents trite expression. A collection of 50 paintings appealing for colorful and imaginative drawing is being shown at the Jewish Community Center at 2416 E. 17th South.

Circulated by the National Council of Jewish Women, the local exhibition has been arranged by Mrs. Alfred Goodwin, president of the Salt Lake City section of the council. Biblical scenes and religious ceremonies serve as a motif for a number of the paintings executed in transparent watercolor and gouache. A vignette of views of Jerusalem Is an arrangement of a series of small drawings. An elaborately textured design employing a fish motif develops handsome decorative qualities.

Prime Simplicity A winter scene depicts a snow man, complete with carrot nose, apples for buttons and broom thrust over the shoulder. Since these are works of youngsters 12 to 14 years of age, their work appropriately deals with the prime simplicity of the purist. The child from early elementary school years is a purist by nature. A house, for example, is conceived in parallel projection often naively revealing more 'than the visible potential. The techniques of the linear perspectivist have to be learned and with it comes a loss of spontaneity in design.

These paintings without exception preserve a hatural Interest in two-dimensional representation. Emphasis thus rests on pattern arrangement and development of engaging, decorative qualities. The exhibit will remain until May 10. w. 5l Associated Utah Artists will open its annual Spring Art Exhibit with a tea and reception for the public Sunday from 3 p.m- to 7 p.m.
