Time sure flies. Don't know whose anniversary or anything because I lost my promo- tions calendar, but there was quite of mine. He might have seen strolling up the steps Hall here, because I come long lived stock. From what it though, Jose liked to live erously, and that is probably come he got to be such a hero. Noné of my ancestors even got their name in the paper except in the obituary column of the Lapeer weekly. However, all the above has ab- nothing to do with shop- ly saw the Jose Marti happened to be in time.

Now the Children’s Corner has it. Anyone passing by this nice place on the corner of Fleming and Simonton Street couldn't help but notice.

This little self-denial for honor’s sake will make you a finer woman.” Well gee kid, when did this stuff xk 't wasn’t too many years ago when Palm trees were something Baldwin's are folks who are certainly in the business to make able to survive inside, Others were the Adanida, a feathery tree that only grows to twenty feet at maturity, and the Alex- indria, | think any yard in this town is more lovely with palm trees growing around, and no fin- er ones can be found than those at Baldwin’s Nursery on Simon- fon St. across from the Navy Commissary. x kek You've probably been noticing quite a few changes in the face of our town. They say it’s a healthy sign, but somehow, Duval Street is becoming quite strange to me, and Til miss the charm of the two beautiful old houses that have made way for the new business Places which will have to be some punkins to take the place of all that missing charm.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Ye amr charm of scenes here. He won the award offered by the Key West Art and Historical Society for the painting most typical of the Island. The subject was an oil of “Love Lane,” shown in the background. Judges were Mrs. Norberg Thompson, Curry Moreno and Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr., all native Key Westers. Hayward, right, looks a little amazed as he is given the $25 prize by Julius F. Stone, Jr., of the Society, and Mrs. Jeanne Taylor, curator of the East Martello Tower gallery, where the winning landscape is on display along with other paintings by local and visit- ing artists in the show called “Portrait of Key West.” Portrait Of An Artist Who Learned To Turn Misfortune To Achievement By DOROTHY RAYMER One way to become active in the field of art is to break your neck and back. The method isn’t recommended, even for those who like to get places the hard way, but that’s what happened to Peter Hayward, winter visitor to Key West who recently won the prize presented by the Key West Art and Historical Society for a painting the most typical of a Key West Back in 1935, Hayward, then en- gaged in physics research work, was injured in an automobile acci- dent. His twin brother was killed. Peter sustained a broken neck and back and was helpless in a cast for many months. On the road to re- covery, his physician tried physi- cal therapy to help him regain pro- Per coordination. He was given clay and started to model. Sud- denly, he discovered that he had a knack for the work and when he was well again became a sculptor. Hayward specialized in portrait heads of clay, casting in bronze. Three years ago another accident put him in the field of painting. The “accident” was more pleas- ant. It was a simple accidental discovery that he could paint and that he liked to do it. “One of my students in sculpture asked if she could make an oil sketch of one of the models. I said ‘Okay.’ Then she asked if I'd like to try my hand, too. I did, I was fascinated. I turned to uainting and have been at it ever since,” Hay- ward said. He has been in Key West only two weeks and expects to spend three more weeks here painting. Working from sunup to sundown, he hopes to turn out 25 canvasses before returning to his New York studio. “Please,” Hayward asked, “correct the idea that I have al- ready done the 25 paintings! That | is my goal, but I don’t do just sketches, and I’m not so hasty as all that.” It is true, however, that he is a rapid and persistent artist. I watched him begin an oil of the old Cabrera brick building on! Front Street with its iron grill work the other afternoon, about2:30. An hour and a half later, not only the | design was there, the view recog- jniabie, the colors definite, but even fine details were beginning to shape up. Hayward uses a triangular shap- ed pallette knife and his bare fingers, and thumbs. Sometimes he } uses both hands to guide the edge of the knife. He mixes colors on a Plain cookie tin, and when I ob-/| served him, stood through the whole proceeding. Nothing seemed to bother him.

What's more, Hay- ward insisted that I go right ahead with the interview while he was working. Said he, “I like people and their interest doesn’t bother me at all. If I want anyone to go away, I simply tell them.to go away and come back in 4n hour. {Well, they come back in an hour. My idea is if anything can stop you from painting, stop.”” Not even a bad headache ' de- layed his active hands and eyes that day. The only time he paused was to wait for the sun to come out brightly enough to cast a miss- ing shadow. He said he usuall: worked on three or four oils simul taneously with different weather backgrounds so that in case it turned cloudy, for example,. he could work on another scene, re- quiring a cloudy background; or if the sun were bright, he painted a canvas requiring a flood of light. Although Hayward sometimes re- fer to himself as a primitive, his |work is really far from ‘the un- taught classification of which Grandma Moses is one. A local photographer said, ‘‘He’s the only artist. around town who jlooks like one.” Hayward is a slim man with a shock of thick iron gray hair who usually wears old paint spattered dungarees, Mexican weave sandals and sport shirts. He is as intense in his way of working as his steel- sparked blance. He applies the rich pigment with deft strokes, steps |back and studies not only what he has just done by what he intends SA KOTTON KING 604 DUVAL ST. actual strokes which are firm, sure, yet delicate. He has no favorite subjects but is in love with beauty and nature, color . . .and life itself. “I think art is in the eyes of the artist, not on the canvas. You have to see the picture first, get the sense of it, feel it, before you put it on canvas,” he said. Hayward was born in Keene, New Hampshire. He studied at Middlebury, Vermont, but in sci- ence, not arts However his heritage caught up with him when he turn- ed to self expression in sculpturing and painting. His mother, brother and his grandfather were artists. He carries a battered paintbox which he received when he was nine years old, fort} years ago. It has the monogram of his god- father William Preston Phelps on it still. The awareness of life is not con- fined to Hayward’s artistry. He writes children’s stories and has had his own radio program. He has one daughter, 19 years old at Bryn Mawr and a small son, aged six, in kindergarten. Sometimes the New Englander’s directness of speech stands out with the same crispness of the colors he uses, although he is not the traditional reticent Yankee. Asked why he had chosen Key West for a field of painting, Hay- ward grinned, raised an eyebrow | and said “Too cold in New York.” to do next. The time element in- volved is in study of the subject not so much the execution of the REDS WARN DENMARK ' MOSCOW (#—The Soviet govern- ment warned the Danes again that it would regard the st: ing of Western.
