FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1950 , SNOW HITS GOTHAM; DID RAINMAKER D LT3 HE SAYS NOT NEW YORK, April 14 — @ — A freakish mid-spring snowfall swirled down on the metropolitan area to- day and the big question was whether New York City’s rainmaker | helped induce it. The Weather Bureau wasn't sure But Dr. JVallace E. Howell, the city's $100-a-day rainmaker, gave the credit to Mother Nature. Ho' »said his cloud-seeding operations i yesterday had nothing to do with | the snowfall. There was also a light 1 fall yesterday. | The city is trying to tickle arti- ! ficial rain out of the clouds to re- { plenish its depleted reservoirs. ‘The snow, which began at dawn was accompanied by 252 degree temperature, the lowest ever re- corded here on April 14. Snow also fell in New England, Upstate New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The fall dumped a one inch coat- ing of white over the city and its| lenvimns. In nearby Suffolk county a three-inch fall was reported.

SHOW Nina and Josephine Crumrine, | wellknown Alaskan artists who have | been visiting in Juneau, will leave for the Interior nextTuesday. They | have recently returned from New York City where they held a suc- Icesslul exhibition of their work in | the Roosevelt Room of the Amer- | ican Museum of Natural History under the auspices of James L. Clark and Katharine Beneker. New York papers gave the moth- er-daughter art team rave writeups | and the Art News critic wrote of the “capable, competent work” by the Alaskans. Much interest was| expressed in Miss Josephine Crum- rine's pencil sketches of Point Bar- row Eskimo life as well as her pastel husky dog portraits similar to those | featured on Alaska Steamship, | Company menus. Mrs. Crumrine’s authentic Eskimo and Indian por- traits stirred interest also. By re- | quest of the Interior department, she left a group for display in the Interior department museum in| ‘Washington, D.C. | In addition to news features on the pair, they were also subjects of many radio broadcasts. In New | York they crossed trails with John Bishop, formerly of Juneau. Most Alaskans are familiar with | the Crumrine work, done in all| mediums, some of which hang in the Territorial Museum here. Twen- tye-some years ago, Mrs. Crumrine arrived in Ketchikan with toddling little Jo who was still too young to read and write—but not too young to be sketching. The two.have since lived and painted all over Alaska. Nina studied at the Art Institute in Chicago, but when Jo left Alaska in her early tens, she elected to take her art work at the California School of Art in San Francisco. Jo’s most noted picture in the States and Canada is that of “Las- sie” which she painted at Banif when that famous canine was there to make outdoor scenes for the film, “Son of Lassie.” The Crumrines are happy to be back in Alaska and are currently stopping at the Gastineau Hotel.
