KANSAS WANTS CURRY TO RETURN Belated Recognition Given | Pairter Who Depicts State “in Raw.” By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, June 30.—Kansas | has taken a major step in atoning | for its belated recognition of John | Steuart Curry, the native-son artist, | who paints the Sunflower State “in | the raw.” Four years ago the broad-shouldered Without Barbers Campers Forced To Shave Selves |More a Formality Than Necessity for Some Visiting Boys.

That is the good turn Congress can do for the Nation.” "|OE HIG J ‘INCORPORATED- 'OUR PLUMBER' WOODWARD & LOTHROP 10" 1™ F AND G STREETS PHONE DISTRICT 5300 painter, who grew up on a farm, had | the Boy Scout camp.

Eastern critics took Kansas to task for failure to appreciate the robust stark portrayals of a native son Back in 1933, commenting on the fact he had sold only one painting to a Kansan, Curry said “They have Kansas. They hardly need paintings.” Within two vears his works began | breaking into private collections in the State. | Kansas State College purchased his oil, “Sun Dogs.” The first of Curry's works to go into a public collection in Kansas, it is a study of prairies in Winter, with one human habitation pitted against the loneliness of space. Recently several editors proposed the historical murals for the State House. Two weeks ago Curry came here for a conference with Gov. Walter A. Huxman and a committee of editors “I have my own ideas about telling the story of the pioneers coming into Kansas,” said Curry. “I want to | paint this war with Nature and I want to paint the things I feel as a | native Kansan." | “The series,” he added, “would be one that I could do only for my native State.” Kansans are wondering if the murals, when completed, will result in the heated discussions that arose when Missouri’s native son, Thomas Hart Benton, portrayed the State’s history in the Capitol at Jefferson City.

Hit by L?g;rvhlrzi;lg, Girl Unconscious For Eight Hours| Br the Associated Press. WILLARDS, Md. June 30.—Mar- garet Hancock, 12, who remained un- | conscious for eight hours after she was &truck by a bolt of lightning, was back | at her daily chores today, apparently none the worse for her experience. The family of Ansley Hancock. a | farmer, was in one room of its home near here when a terriffic thunder- storm broke over the farm. A bolt of lightning entered the room through an electric light socket | It struck and knocked out Mrs. Hancock and her two daughters, Eliza- beth and Margaret. The lightning then passed downward through the floor, cutting a rug in two on its pas- sage. Hancock and a neighboring farmer, who were in the room, were unhurt. Hancock notified Dr. Frederick 8. | Nicoll at Berlin, who went to the house. The mother and Elizabeth were re- | vived after an hour’s work by the | doctor, but Margaret remained uncon- | Dr. Nicoll worked over her for eight hours. She finally regained consciousness after he had used ordi- nary restoratives. | “I never thought the girl was dead,” the doctor said ] He said the Hancock girl suffered a | severe shock from being struck. ‘ News of the girl’s experience spread | quickly, and farm neighbors gathered | at the house while the girl was still unconscious. When she recovered, the | news spread more widely, and scores of curious visited the Hancock farm. And as for those who need a hair- cut—well, they just have to let their mains grow or patronize one of the local tonsorial parlors. Snows have given way to brilliantly colored flowers on the steppes and tundra of Siberia.
