Mrs. Metzger Describes South African Travels In Hobby Fair Lecture

Audience Sees Films of Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls and Wild Animal Life of Dark Continent.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON Mrs. Albert E. Metzger gave a travel-conscious audience an acute distaste for the comforts of their own firesides when she took them by celluloid route through Kruger National Park in Africa last night. She discussed her travels in the Dark Continent in the first of a series of six lectures this week and next as special attractions of the Hobby Fair at the John Herron Art

Museum.

It was an easy transition from Mrs, Metzger's fair exhibit of a miniature African waterhole, surrounded by a menagerie of some 80 tiny ivory animals, to the motion picture films she had made of living models for the figurines. She found most of the ivory models in a curio shop in Livingstone, Rhodesia; the film principals were inhabitants of Kruger National Park, The objectives of Mrs, Metzger's trip to Africa via Rio de Janeiro and St. Helena were Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls and Cecil John Rhodes’ grave. Close-ups of African wild life in her own motion pictures are evidence of her statement: “If you know when and how to take pictures there's no danger at all” Since the animals dort feed in the daytime, it is quite simple to get excellent pictures, she said. Happily roaming about in their native habitat and behaving as calmly as household pets were zebra, hippopotami, large baboons, lions, impala deer, heavy stalwart waterbucks, red jackals and warthogs, as well as kudus with twisted horns, giraffes and crocodiles. There were no tigers in the park and there are no alligators in Africa, Mrs. Metzger added. Twenty-five million dollars’ worth of uncut lemon, blue and white diamonds lying on a table with the sunlight gleaming on them were a precious memory of a visit to the Kimberley mines. The gold mines near Johannesburg, the Golden City of Transvaal, were intensely fascinating also, she said. Johannesburg, by the way, is a very modern, beautiful British city with Fifth Ave. double-decker busses carrying passengers through busy thoroughfares, as revealed by Mrs. Metzger's films. Traveling from Capetown by train into the interior of the Union of South Africa as far north as Victoria Falls was a matter of not too much discomfort. The trains, with their leather seats, were not unlike our streamlined models and the food ordered ahead was good although the unvarying menu of chicken, curry and rice proved a little monotonous. Victoria Falls, twice as high as Niagara and a mile wide, with steam and mist rising constantly, is becomingly dubbed “Rain Forest,” the speaker added. Mrs. Frederic H. Sterling, Art Association membership chairman, who introduced Mrs. Metzger, announced that a series of talks on Art Appreciation is to be held soon in the Museum. Local artists are to lecture in April and give demonstrations of their work. The next talk in the Hobby Fair series is to be given tomorrow at 2:30 when Mrs. Lowell Holmes discusses “Weaving.”

A pleasant interlude on one's shopping itinerary is a view of paintings principally of Marion County and Indianapolis currently exhibited by 12 local artists in Lyman’s fireplace galleries. The collection will be displayed until Feb. 19. Downtown Indianapolis is pictured in Carl Graf's studies of University Park entitled “Rain in Spring” and “Rainy Day” and Flora Lauter's “Memorial Plaza From the K. of P. Building." Soft grays characterize Mr. Graf's canvases and church spires and adjacent buildings give interest to Miss Lauter’s work. Floyd Hopper's “Three Sisters” humorously portrays three houses identical except for color. Renee Barnes is showing “Tennessee Hills,” a serene summer landscape with sunlight and clouds, and “Peonies,” a still-life of white flowers against a dark background.

The Sacred Well of Chichenitsa where the Rain God supposedly dwelt was pictured as a huge pit of swirling water. The most beautiful young girls in the vicinity were for years thrown into the well to pacify the god if io rain fell. - “Now you know why young Mexican girls prayed for rain,” said Mr. Warnock. Among luncheon guests was Mrs. William Diddel whose father, Edward Thompson, noted archeologist, dredged the Chichenitsa Well for Peabody Institute.

Modern Women Are Neglecting Family Life, Says Dr. Roselli

“It is all right for the modern woman to live alone and like it, but she is whistling in the dark,” Dr. Bruno Roselli told Woman's Depart-

ment Club members yesterday.

“The reason—Motherhood.”

Dr. Roselli, who served on the Vassar faculty for 13 years, scored

American women for their “neglect of family life.”

He commended the

old German idea of women's duties—“Kitchen, Church and Children.” The American woman, he said, does not risk her Sunday bonnet to go to church and modern conveniences and higher standards of living have removed kitchen drudg-

ery. But added leisure does not find an outlet in children and their care, he declared. “Women are permitting the less educated masses of this country to come into power because of their failure to produce children who would be reared in more cultured homes. He cited as an example classes of Vassar women who graduated in 1931 and 1932. He cited their average age as 28. One and threetenths per cent of them are married and a lesser per cent have chiidren, he asserted.

“Look at Divorce Records’

“Look at your divorce records and the number of single women in this country to find women's gains in happiness, Motherhood is woman's major problem and it is time that she started campaigning for it. “The first group of women who were awarded A. B. degrees after taking a curriculum similar to that of men were graduated in 1865 from Vassar College. Since that time a larger per cent of the women are educated in schools than men. “They find it difficult to reach down and be content with their intellectual inferiors who, instead of going to college, must stay home

and enfer business. The other alternative, the business world, has not proved any too inviting to the intellectual misfit either. New York stores pay Vassar graduates to sell ribbon by the inch across counters.”

Needed for Social Service

The pioneer man needed a “pal” for his companion and the pioneer woman was that, Dr. Roselli said. “Now the woman is freed from working beside her husband, Her leisure, if it can’t be given to children, is needed in social service.” The proposed Constitutional amendment granting equal rights to women would serve as a boomerang, he declared. “Without protective legislation, employers would deny women special favors, considerations that are needed because of their lack of muscular strength and protection at certain periods in their lives.” Dr. Roselli was the luncheon guest of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Fortune; then left in the late afternoon for Chicago. Mrs. Paul Hurt presided at the business session preceding yesterday's lecture,

day in the Columbia Club, Mrs. Mucklestone is past national American Legion Auxiliary president, Stressing the importance of freedom, she said the individual was greatest when least governed, “The greatest enemy of free thinking is overorganization,” she continued. “Social organization has become so methodical and cold that life and emotions have been nearly extinguished. Men and women are only cogs in a great machine.”

Citizens Repressed

The theory of paternalism decrees that the State is supreme, according to Mrs. Mucklestone. “A paternalistic state governs and represses citizens in order to improve the machine, “When people are free, they do not need the mastery of society or a guardian and a meddling state to direct their energies,” she added. “To usher in an era of enlightenment, peace and industry, intolerance must be banished,’ she declared. “It is our most persistent relic of barbarism. Human faculties, beliefs and practices differ, Freedom is the right to differ. That right must be respected.” Representative government today stands at the crossroads, she believes. “On one hand are industri-

ous individuals being erushed by an

ever-increasing burden of taxation and meddlers, called investigators. On the other are the group of inde-~ pendent individuals who refuse charity and its resultant servility, for which they are branded economic outlaws.”

Taxes Increased

When the present regime cams into power, she said, it promised that bureaus would be abolished and taxes decreased, After five years, bureaus are more numerous and taxes not only are increased, but levied on the necessities of life,

“In the ordinary course of repre sentative government, people are willing to pay high taxes for Gove ernment service, When the structure becomes overloaded and free enterprise is discouraged, it is time to take warning. Unjust taxation was the cause of one tea party and there may be another.” She concluded with a plea that Government administrators be serve ants and not masters, that anyone, regardless of party, who tries to encroach on mankind's liberty be curbed, and that citizens be taught a true appreciation of the meaning of liberty. Mrs. Thomas D, Barr pronounced the invocation. Mrs. Mary Traub Busch sang, ate companied at the piano by Mrs, Carolyn Ayres Turner.
