Artist Paints A
Melville Steinfels, the Chicago
Damp? Yes! now, was painted in sections on the wall of the Lady chapel of the church. When a section of plaster was “just right’ for the paint, the artist went to work whether it was day or night. He started painting one morning at 6 o'ciock and it was 5:25 a. m. the next day when he climbed down from his scaffold.
Uses Centuries Old Technique
All this sounds very strange to a layman who wouldn't apply paint to any moist surface, not even to the humble porch stairs. But remember, Mr. Steinfels was
trained for his profession at the Art Institute of Chicago. He painted the fresco in the Ignatius auditorium, Chicago, and has done similar work in various places. He follows “the true technique of fresco painting,” he says, which is centuries old and fell into disuse after the time of Michelangelo. First, Mr. Steinfels made pencil drawings on heavy paper of the scene at the Grotto of Lourdes shown in the picture above. Then he punched little holes at close intervals along the pencil lines. The paper was then placed against the damp plaster and struck with a bag of dry paint.
Depicts Girl's Vision
The paint thus ‘pounced upon” the plaster, to use ‘the artists own | term, sifted through the many per- | forations. When the paper was lifted off, the outline of the picture remained in the proper colors.. Then Mr. Steinfels took his brush and blended more paint into the damp plaster, completing the scene. The fresco depicts the vision described by the little French girl, Bernadette, to whom church history records the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared. The slender Mary is poised above the rocks from which gushes the miraculous water. Bernadette, wearing her wooden shoes and holding a lighted candle, kneels on one side, while on the other a man with crutches and a woman symbolize faith in the healing powers of Lourdes.
Virgin's Face “Different”
In the fresco, Mary is arrayed just as a little girl would have seen her—‘“gorgeous” blue sash, rosary, halo, rose-decked feet and all. But the arresting face of the Virgin is Mr. Steinfel’s own conception. And it is “different.” The face is delicately molded. of intellectual cast and wears che merest suggestion of a smile, not the sorrowful expression so many painters have given Mary. This, particularly, bespeaks imagination and directs attention to the man behind the work. Above the fresco, the artist has inscribed ‘the quotation, “I am the immaculate conception,” the only identification the vision gave to Bernadette, And the little girl, unfamiliar with such big words, chant-
lest she forget them before she could repeat them to the parish priest for definition.
Church Teems With Activity
Now the uncompleted Our Lady of Lourdes church is teeming with activity. Workmen are bending every effort to get the building finished before the month is out. For May is called the “month of Mary” and dedicated to the Virgin throughout the Catholic world. The Rev. Fr. James Moore, pastor, sunburned and refreshed from recent weeks in Florida, and the pastor emeritus, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Michael W. Lyons, have planned that there shall be a first’ mass in the church before the deadline passes. On May 31, the Rev. Fr. William O’Brien, newly ordained priest who grew up in the Lourdes parish, will celebrate a solemn high

Seek $650,000 in War Relief Campaign.
Indianapolis Lutherans will unite in national effort to raise $650,000 for Lutheran ministry to the armed forces and for war-orphaned mis-
sions, according to Dr. H. E. Turney. Dr. Turney, president of the Indiana United Lutheran synod, says that more than 7000 Lutheran con-
gregations are included in the na-tion-wide campaign. He made clear that the Lutheran program does not in any way conflict with that of the U. 8. O. but is being promoted because Lutheran leaders feel spiritually responsible for ‘Lutherans wherever they may be.
31 Centers Established
An average of 5000 men come into Lutheran service centers for interviews each month and five times that many visit the centers monthly, according to Dr. Turney. The Lutheran church has established 31 centers, all over the nation, in communities adjoining the largest concentrations of Lutheran men, since the selective service act went into effect. American Lutherans have become responsible for all Lutheran foreign missions formerly supported by other countries. These missions, of necessity orphaned by the war, include schools, * hospitals, Sunday schools and every kind of mission enterprise. American Lutherans raised $300,000 for orphaned missions in 1941 which sum was supplemented by $200,000 by the Norwegian government in exile in London.

WALLACE WARNS OF ATTACK ON. ALASKA
WICHITA PAPER UNDER MAIL BAN
Sedition Charged Against Weekly, ‘Publicity’; Hearing May 21.
WASHINGTON, May 9 (U. P).— The allegedly seditious weekly newspaper, “Publicity,” published by Elmer J. Garner in Wichita, Kas., was banndtl from the mails today. As in the case of social Justice, which abandoned publication in the face of postoffice department action and a federal grand jury investigation of its background, the newspaper will be given an opportunity at a hearing here May 21 to show cause why its second class mail

revoked. Two other weeklies, the Germanlanguage Philadelphia Herold and the X-Ray, published at Muncie, Ind., by Court Asher, also have been ordered to show cause why their mail privilege should not be revoked. Garner and his son, James, an editorial assistant, were indicted a week ago by a federal grand jury at Kansas City, Kat, on charges of sedition. Postmaster-General Frank C. Walker last night ordered the Wichita postmaster to refuse to accept for mailing any copies of “Publicity.” Attorney General Francis Biddle charged the magazine had engaged in a “sustained and systematic attack” on public morale and the government’s war effort.
