A—16 Community Chest's Insignia Confest Extended for Week Competition for Design Will Close May 7 - Instead of April 30 A week’s extension of the Com- munity Chest prize contest for de- sign of an official emblem was an- nounced yesterday by Coleman Jen- nings, Chest president. He said that many of the schools whose art students are entering the competition have requested the longer period. ‘The contest, which opened Mon- day, will close May 7, instead of April 30 as previously announced. ‘The Chest is conducting the com- petitiorl to get a permanent insignia for use on stationary, volunteers’ buttons and poster display. A pri- vate donor has contributed a $100 first prize, $50 second prize and $25 third prize. Two Give Ideas. ‘Two outstanding—but contrasting —figures in Washington’s artistic world yesterday expressed their ideas on what will make the winning design. ‘They were C. Powell Minnigerode director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and C. K. Berryman, whose cartoons appear on The Star’s front page each day. Both are members of the judging panel for the con- test. The best rule for prospective de- signers to observe is not to observe too many rules, Mr. Minnigerode declared. “Full play of the imagina- tion” is desirable, he said. “The design should certainly make a strong appeal to the heayt,” he said. “Remember that part of its function will be to make the people of Washington understand all the good that the Chest does 80 they will support it with their pocketbooks. Clear and Simple Design. “The design must be clear and simple enough so it will reproduce well,” he continued. “But first, last and always,” the gallery director said, “a design should be a work of art.” Mr. Berryman agreed with tnese points, but gave emphasis to the designers’ need for inspiration. “You can't just sit down and draw a design. You've got to know what the Community Chest does— how many homes it goes into and how much happiness it brings,” he pointed out. “It’s just the same as in my political cartooning,” he continued. “I can do that because I am in- terested in and understand politics. Why, I played hroky from school when I was 11 years old so I could listen to a political speech. “On_ the other hand, you must know how to draft the design,” Mr. Berryman added. “Lots of good ideas are ruined by bad drawing or painting. This can ruin the great human appeal that is needed for a Communtiy Chest emblem.” Berryman Suggests Co-operation. Mr. Berryman suggested that {friends, members of families and schoolmates get together to produce & design. Any artist or would-be artist of Washington and vicinity is eligible. Here are instruCtions for com- petitors: . All entries must be brought to the business counter or mailed to “Con- test Editor,” The Evening Star, Elev- enth street and Pennsylvania avenue N.W, on or before May 7. They must be accompanied by the con- testant’s name, address, telephone number and school, if any. Designs may be executed in black or white or not more than two col- ors. Ink, charcoal, crayon, water color or other suitable medium will be permitted. All must be drawn or mounted on white cardboard measuring about 18 by 22 inches. A 2-inch border must be allowed. All entries will become property of the Community Chest. Cottage City Dance Set An old-fashioned barn dance will be held at 9 pm. Tuesday at the Cottage City (Md.) Firehouse, it was announced today.

Airplane loads of youngsters will take off simultaneously at 12:30 p.m. from Washington Airport, Pitts- burgh and Detroit. Air line hostesses will preside over the parties and will serve birthday cakes and ice cream. Similar cakes will be served to regular passengers as a part of all meals served en route between Washington and Detroit today. The anniversary also is the occa- sion for opening a new non-stop schedule between Milwaukee and Detroit and an additional daily trip between Detroit and Milwaukee, with one stop at Grand Rapids. This new schedule will make avail- able the fastest service in history between Washington and Milwau- kee. It is anticipated that the 540,000th passenger to travel on the Penn- sylvania-Central system will board one of the airline’s planes at one of its 20 stations. Yesterday officials of the Civil Aeronautics Authority attended a “pre-birthday” party at the Carlton Hotel to congratulate C. Bedell Monro, president of P. C. A, on the anniversary and on 12 years of con- tinuous operation without death or serious injury to any passenger or crew member of a passenger air liner.
