WORK IS GIVEN ARTISTS UNDER CWA PLANNING City Talent Will Work on Library and School Projects. An era of artistic production in the United States, formerly the laggard in esthetic subjects, is seen with the government appropriation for employment of sculptors, painters and craftsmen in need of money to suppo-t themselves and their families. The local committee, with headquarters at John Herron Art Institute,* met yesterday and obtained the permission of Julian Wetzel, chairman of the board of school commissioners, Paul Stetson, city school superintendent, and Luther Dickerson, city librarian, to go ahead with projects in city schools and libraries. Three artists were employed to make sketches of proposed projects. Clifton Wheeler was sent to Technical high school, Reynolds Selfridge to the Rauh Memorial library and John Hardrick to the Crispus Attucks high school library. The artists were instructed to outline paintings suitable for hanging in the locations specified. Letters Sent Out The committee had previously sent out forty-three letters to communities throughout the state asking for the names of artists. To date approximately twenty-five applications have been received. Mural decorations for the city school must be outlined and submitted to the next meeting of the school board before any action will be taken, it was announced. Members of the committee are Wilbur D. Peat, institute director; Mrs. H. Burnet, prominent art leader; Luther Dickerson, city librarian; Edward Pierre, architect, and -Frederick Polley, artist and teacher at Arsenal Technical high school. Artistic freedom has been granted under this new deal and artists will be used regardless of their style of painting academic or modern. Ability is the chief requisite because the committee is charged with the responsibility of getting creative work that will be of value to the community. All products will become the property of the government. Workers to Be Divided Workers will be divided into two groups according to their ability, experience and financial needs. Group A will receive $42.50 a week and group B $26.50. The American scene, early and contemporary, will be regarded as the general field for subject matter of all projects. The work will go toward the embelliishment of government buildings, institutions supported wholly or in part by taxation and parks. Paintings may be in the form of murals or pictures designed to hang on the walls. Sketches and details on projects ,are to be submitted to the Cleveland regional committee where it will, in turn, be referred to Washington. No project will be extended beyond Feb. 15. Many lqcal artists, chronically without funds, have heralded the advent of this civil works administration branch as a return to the recognition of artistic talent which was so famous in Europe during the Renaissance.

Herald Angels Sing Drab Little Home Shelters Baby Girl Born After Father Is Lodged in Prison. IT'S the Christmas season—the time of the year when all over the world people bow down in reverence to a tiny babe who was born thousands of years ago. This year it marks the birth of another baby, here in Indianapolis. No wise men travel to a manger-shrine here. No offerings are made of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Instead, kindly neighbors visit a drab little home at 3223 Hovey street, to care for the newborn child and her mother. Their offerings are food for three other little ones—brothers of Betty Joan Cline. 2 days old. Betty Joan was bom Thursday night. She arrived just two hours after her mother, Mrs. Fern Cline, had been told by policemen that her husband, Ralph Cline, had been arrested, charged with stealing automobile tires. No money was available in the home for a physician’s services. The policemen, experienced in human suffering, hurriedly called a physician from the city hospital, and summoned a neighbor. Shortly before the physican arrived, Betty Joen greeted the world with a wailing cry. “I don’t know if he really did steal tires, or why he did. if it is true." Mrs. Cline said today, stroking the tiny downy head beside her. “Os course, he was worried about this baby's coming—there was so little money, and he did work hard. “He has had the same job at the Monon railroad for eight years. He was foreman in the yards, and worked on office work at night. In addition to that work, he tried to make something by doing extra work in our garage, charging batteries. “Last week we bought shoes for one of the boys. The week before some clothes for another. I had a few things for the new baby, but there was no money for a doctor, and I know he was worried about •that.” The three boys clustered about the bed; Ralph. Jr.. 8; William, 6; and Shirley, 2. Their faces changed from bewildered grief at the absence of their father to amusement at the tiny baby's puckered face.. The mother drew the blanket about the baby's body. "I don't know whether my husband knows the baby has been born or not,” she mused. "I guess the police told him. They were very kind to me."
