PAGE FOUR WORKS OF ART EXHIBITED AT HIGH SCHOOL. DISPLAY OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ETCHINGS AND LITHOGRAPHS SAID TO BE VERY UNIQUE é emporary The -exhibition of cont American “etchings, woodeuts~andj lithographs which are hibited at the Key School this week, being West National Art Week, November 8-14, with the object of acquainting the students with the best examples of modern ex- art, has proved to be very inter- esting, it is stated. The exhibition brings to the pub:ie’s view new original works of arts in the graphic mediums by forty-nine of the foremost living artists of America. Waldo Piarce, a former Key West visitor, has a picture in the group. Some of the pictures are by artists who have illustrated well known books. Rockwell Kent il- lustrated “Moby Dick”; Wanda Gag, “Millions of Cats” and How- ard Cook, “Death Comes for the Archbishop.” Others include Mabel Dwight, Paul Landacre and other well- known artists and foremost etch- ers, woodevtters and lithograph- ers living in America today. The work is being displayed in the library of the school. These examp'es of contem- porary art are being hung through the courtesy of American Artists, Inc. The artists who have made these prints came from all sec- tions of the country, from New England, the Middle Atlantic States, the South, the Middle West and the Far West. By means of the technique of the graphic arts it is possible to make more than one original. It is these original prints that are now being displayed. They have turned out a varied collection of prints that will furnish something to suit every taste, it is shown. The pictures are being exhibit- ed primarily as an aid to a better understanding of the art- ists and pictures, a few facts on the life of each artist and his pic- tare will be given with each pic- ture. Profesor Horace O’Bryant, head of the local institution where the display is being carried on, states that it is hoped that those adults who are interested, will avail themselves of this opportun- ity to see these prints. The prints will ke on display in the High Schoo] Library until Fri- day afternoon. Visitors will be welcomed at any time, it is stat- STOWERS COMES BACK ON PLANE PURCHASES CHRISTMAS MER- CHANDISE FOR STORE HERE WHILE IN JACKSONVILLE ——— J. R. Stowers, president of J. R.

High| OF NEW FORDS | H | VARIOUS ADVANTAGES AF- FORDED IN LAT=ST PRO- BY REPRESENTATIVES (Special to The Citizen) DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 10.— |A new Ford V-8 for 1937, pre- senting definite advances in mod- tern streamlined styling, and pow- ered either with the 85-horsepower smail counterpart of its elder brother, was announced today by the Ford Motor Company. Disclosure of the new lighter as an optional power plant for the new Ford V-8 for 1937 will set at rest definitely rumors of a new “bay” Bord which have been cir. try for the past several years. The new engirie, today’s state- ment said, will give surprising fuel economy of a type new to present-day motoring in the Unit- ed States, although it has been available to motorists in Europe for some years. The new cars will be available in both de luxe and standard body types of the single Ford V-8 112- inch wheelbase chassis. De Luxe types will be powere only with the improved 85 horsepower engine. In standard types, either the new 60 horsepower engine or the 85 horsepower engine is optional. The new standard types with the lighter engine are expected to carry the lowest base list pr-ce! quoted by the Ford Motor Com- pany since the V-8 engined car was introduced by Ford to the popalar-price field nearly five years ago. The 7,000 Ford dealers who gathered here last week for the meeting with the Fords predicted that the two new cars, one intend- ed to give the public maximum performance, the other maximum economy, wou!d widen substantial- ly the Ford market and narrow still further gaps left uncovered by the Ford V-8. Beyond the new appearence and the two engine sizes, two other im- portant features mark the new 1937 cars. One is a new all-steel body, with new one-piece steel top, as well as steel structure, panels and floor. The other is a new braking system; designed by |Ford to give “soft” easy-action control. The brakes are actuated throvgh a cable-and-conduit sys- tem and have controlled self- energizing action, providing the safety of steel throughout the en- tire mechanism. A ney club coune is the latest of the eleven body types which will be available. The five most pop- ular types will be offered with or without de luxe equipment, and with either engine. The other six will be available only with de luxe equiyment and only with the 85 horsepower engine. Refinements in the power V-8 engine, found also in the new 60 horse- power engine, include improved cooling, new cast alloy steel pis- tons and larger “insert” type main bearings. ‘“Custom-built” engine features such dual down-draft cart ‘ion, airc.aft-type floating cormecting rod bearings and forced { 85 _horse- which are crankcase ventilation are retain- ed, My Dream Of The U.
