Down In Cost* Rica Olw of Iteralur'• • know ft resident*, Gerald Stricktef. an auclton#W> Anjux brwadar, and porhxp* brat-known aa a baakrlbail raferra. returned hat Wadiwaday from a (wo wrrh trip to the -outhrrnm.mt country of Central America, t'oata Hu a, which Uoa bet wean Panama and Nicaragua. For 12 day a •‘Strick’* and three other llocwiera. and a Puerto Rican, refereed the amateur baakrtbaH matchoa between Crata R»ca. El Salvador. Honduras. Nicaragua. Guatemala, and Panama. And what a lime he had! (.eating ( hieago. and traveling byway of Miami. Fla., and Havana. Cuba, “Strick” left zero weather tor the Ml to 90 degree temperature of San Jrae. the 150.000 popuhtion capital of the small I ait in American Republic. Since the one member of their group apoke S|>ani»h. they were able to understand everything that went on. Between the matches, which included both men and girls teams, the latter playing the same rules as the boys, sightseeing was arranged. Commenting on the basketball, “Strick said that it compared very well with that of teams like Ball State or Butler, and that great progress is being made in that sport. Os course basketball takes a back seat to soccer in Central America—every back yard has soccer goals rather than 'ball hoops. Some of the rules are slightly different, too. The foul lane is 20 feet wide at the basket, rather than 12 feet, allowing some of the other players to jump for the rebound, and increasing the interest. Certain individual players were really great, “Strick” said, and could have made almost any U. S. college team. All the players were amateur, and many were interested in studying in U. S. colleges. One of the highlights of the trip was “Strick’s” introduction to the president of Costa Rica, Mario Echandi Jiminez, and his wife. They were wonderful people, and walked about just like ordinary citizens, with no police protection. The small 1-million population nation has great mineral wealth, and is about 25 years behind in industrialization, “Strick" estimated. He met many Americans, including James Adams, of Columbia City, whom he had met at a basketball game several years ago. Although the country is quite hilly, the temperature ranges from 80 to 90 degrees during the day, and down to about 62 to 65 at night. The children just completed their summer vacations on March 7—" summer started for them in December! The weather is about the same the-year ’round. The import duties on foreign goods is terrific, “Strick” reported. An automobile that sells for $2,800 here sold for $5,000 there; $8.35 tennis shoes cost $23.35 there, with a sls duty added. Three kinds of bananas were grown, some for cooking, some for eating. Their fruit crop is exported to the U.S., but most of the coffee crop goes to France or Germany, where more money is offered. All in all, “Strick” reported a wonderful time in the pleasant, and fast-growing republic of Costa Rica. Everyone was very kind and gracious, and they seemed to think the very best of America.

N Tears Week Smith’s significant works stretch over a three-decade period Most Decatur observers would classify his work ns "modern.” • but the magazine further defines it as showing a "family resemblance to cubism. whose analytic phase gave rise to college " Smith s method derives from the method of college. as does all modern constructed sculpture. Smith's sculpture. Holton Kramer points out, comes out of the factory: it draws on the methods of industry, technology, and the mechanical arts of the machine shop Its mode of work is hard, the material is heavy and obdurate, the work is dirty. The 54-year-old sculptor works with a blowtorch in his Bolton Landing, New York, home. In 1926. when he movid to ' Washington. DC. at the age of 20. he joined the Arts Student League. ' In 1927 he was a full-time painting student at the league with John Sloan and Jan Matulka. The latter introduced him to Europe’s modern movements, and he painted with him until 1930. At that time he was painting in an abstract surrealist style, and met Stuart Davis, John Graham, and Jean Xceron, the most important ab- ' stract painter of that time. Smith came of age as an artist in the 1930'5, when the social and political urgencies of the great depression. and the rise of fascism affected all the art of the period.

Crete, and in the British museum, as well as his experiences in Paris and Moscow, affected his work on his return. During those years he formulated an aesthetic and poßtlcal ideology. Kramer said, that blended cubism, surrealism, and constructivism with leftist and pacifist loyalties. culminating in the creatio of the "Medals for Dishonor,” a series of 15 small bronze plaques, finished In 1940. and entitled. "Death by Gas." "War-Ex-empt sons of the Rich.’* "Sinking Hospital and Refugee Ships,” etc. During the war period of the 1940's Smith’s work dealt largely with open-space construction with specters, laments, races for survival, sinister birds and preying insects. In the early 1950's Smith's work dealth with more homely themes, like domestic life, landscape images, and personal and unexalted subjects drawn from life. From February 17 until March 19 Smith’s work will be on exhibition at French & Co., Inc., Madi son Avenue and 78th street, in New York.
