ARTHUR M. HARRISThe sudden passing of Mr. Ar-

thur M. Harris was a shock toWinter Park. He had been rightup to a few hours before his de-cease one of the city's key-men,—a man relied on for sound judge-ment in civi; and business mat-ters, and popular for his alert andready knowledge and sympathyfor all that is human. It was ablessing to his friends, his city andhimself that he had that realisticphilosophy of life that persuadedhim to stay in the procession andshare his experience and mellowunderstanding of men and matterswith,the rest of us. Fortunate isthe man who sails on to the portwith all senses keen and everynoble sentiment expressive. ForMr. Harris, life lasted in full meas-ure to the very sunset.

The home of Dr. and Mrs. JohnMartin on Genius Drive was wellfilled on Saturday afternoon,March 29th, when members andguests of the Florida Poetry So-ciety heard Jessie B. Rittenhousespeak on "A Group of WomenPoets."

Miss Rittenhouse first spoke ofthe large number of women poetsin this country, compared tothose in Great Britain and othercountries, basing this fact on thepure democracy of America as astimulant to the creative arts. Ofa hundred and fifty modern versewriters, there are seventy womenpoets, six of whom are Pulitzerprize winners.

Four special groups of poetswere discussed, including EdithThomas, Louise Imogen Guiney,Lizette Woodworth Reese, AnnaHempstead Branch, JosephinePreston Peabody, Fannie StearnsDavis, Edna Saint Vincent Millay,Elinor Wylie, Sara Teasdale, andof present day poets, LeonoraSpeyer, Marya Zaturenska andJean Starr Untermeyer.

Miss Rittenhouse enlivened hertalk with personal recollection ofmany of these poets, especiallyEdith Thomas • whose works sheedited and whose biography shewrote, As an example of her ex-

quisite poetic touch, she read her"Passer By" and "Frost Tonight."Another poet, destined for futureacclaim is Louise Imogen Guiney,according to Miss Rittenhouse, whodeplores "the frustrate wailers anddeplorers of the Waste-Land stuff"derived from T. S. Eliot's firstbook. She spoke of Amy Lowell'spart in founding the Imagist

RARE ORCHID BLOOMSAT THE ORCHIDARIO

One of the rarest of orchidplants is now in full bloom at theOrchidario, 718 Magnolia Avenue,Orlando. Its name in the botanicalterminology is "Oncidium varicos-iim" but a more descriptive title is"Shower of Gold" which is due tothe large number of blooms com-ing on one spray. Mr. MulfordFoster, who brought the specimenfrom the jungles of Brazil lastSummer, states that over 500 blos-soms will unfold on this one plant.Another name for the blossoms is"Dancing Ladies" because of thequaint resemblance to old fashioneddancers in hoop skirts.

Many other rare plants are nowblooming in the Orchidario whichwill continue open. A Black Or-chid is one of Mr. Foster's rarities.

ROLLINS STUDENTS CAPTURE MOST OF THEAWARDS AT ALLIED ARTS EXHIBITION

Some new and fresh talent madeits debut in the Allied Arts annualshow, which opened formally lastThursday evening at the RollinsGallery and continued throughSunday. For the most part theexhibits were smaller than in lastyear's show, but they evincedmany good qualities—qualitieswhich are perhaps more generalamong amateurs than profession-als; simplicity, directness, and avigorous invention. Typical arethe three boldly stated, colorful,story-telling panels by Bower Cor-win; the stately meeting of Stan-ley and Livingston, a hold-up in aWestern saloon, and a "yellowbarn." Alberta Little offered twoexhibits of divergent subject-mat-ter; a placid lakefront and an ap-ple peddler, both painted withsensitive use of cool grey andwarm browns. Particularly in thelatter, "Apple Al," she manipulatedthe pigment in delightful fashionto suggest the textures of an over-coat, a girder, and apples.

Thirty-two out of the forty-fiveprizes were awarded' to art stu-dents of Rollins College. In ad- •dition, Barbara Northen, a Rollinsstudent from Winter Park, receiveda special award for her landscapein oil, "High Tor," judged the bestpicture in the exhibition. Alto-gether, Rollins students receivedeleven blue ribbons, eleven secondplace prizes, and ten third placeawards.

The exhibition, which included 87entries in oil painting, water color,mural design, black and whitelandscape and etchings, sculpture,interior decoration books, and note-

bopks on the history and appreci-ation of art, opened at the RollinsArt Studio on Thursday eveningwith a formal reception.

The Jury of Selection was com-posed of Miss Helen E. Fernald,Frank Besedick, David _ Swanson,John Hawkins and Tracy Hopkin.The Jury of Awards, Dr. HowardS. Gray, Contesse de Bosdari, MissHelen E. Fernald, Frank Besedick,John Hawkins, and Jenkins Dolivejudged the Interior Decoration en-tries.

MR. GARD GIVES GRATIFYING REPORT OFWINTER PARK COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES

Page Three

I am happ" to report to you thatwe are having the greatest playthat the course has ever enjoyedin its history. The Fairways, Teesand Greens are in splendid condi-tion and everyone seems to be wellpleased. Mr. H. A. Ward, chair-man of the Greens Committee andHoward Jernigan, superintendentof the grounds deserve a lot ofcredit for the excellent condition ofthe course.

Mr. and Mrs. Dow George aredoing an excellent job in connec-tion with the pro's work and reportthat the play this year i? verymuch better than last year,

Mr. Albert Dorn who was incharge of the Summer play lastSummer did an exceptionally goodjob supervising and managing thatplay during the Summer months.During the Winter season he hassupei'vised the Putting Matchesand looked after things in generalaround the clubhouse.

Mr. W. E. Winderweedle, presi-dent of the Summer Club did afine job in getting out such asplendid Summer play, and Sum-mer membership.

During- the past Summer twoshower baths were installed in themen's locker room as well as alarge automatic gas water heater.These are a great improvementand are enjoyed by all of the mem-bers.

During- the first part of this sea-son the clubhouse was painted onthe outside and the hallways andmen's and ladies' locker rooms. Mr.George has recommended that a12 x 15' addition to the Pro's Houseand Starter House be built, and Iwould highly recommend that inthis connection a servant's toiletfor the colored servants be in-stalled in connection therewith.This is badly needed and should betaken care of immediately.

Mrs. Helen P. Stillrnan as chair-man, of. the Social MembershipCommittee has lead the SocialMembership in the most success-ful season in its history. Underthe supervision of Miss MollieHolden as hostess many partieshave been given, teas served, din-ners luncheons, etc. have been held

at the club, making- full use of theclub as a social center, which ofcourse is a great advantage to theclub as well as to the whole town.

Mrs. Stillman deserves thethanks and appreciation of all ofthe members, officers and direc-tors for her untiring efforts inconnection with this work and al-though she has been ill for quitesome time she has never at anytime neglected the work in anyrespect.• Mr. Frederic Ward as secretary-treasurer is always on the job andis most efficient. He certainly de-serves a vote of thanks for thegood work that he is doing.

It is my feeling that we will havethe greatest Summer play thatthe club has experienced duringthe coming Summer season and Ihave been informed that Mr.George expects to remain with usduring the Summer months andwill operate the Summer club onthe same basis that Mr. Dorn hasoperated it heretofore.

Respectfully submitted,HOMER GARD, President.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIESAT COUNTRY CLUB

The social membership activitiesof the Winter Park Country Clubfor 1940-41 have surpassed all ex-pectations of the House Commit-tee, and the great appreciation ofthe members for the use of the clubhouse has been expressed bothverbally and by letters, to thechairman of the House Committee,Mrs. Philip T. Stillman.

Under the able management ofMiss Mollie Holden, up to date,three thousand eight hundred andten (3,810) persons have been en-tertained. Many bridge parties,dinners, luncheons, receptions andteas and musicals have been held.

Although many improvements tothe building' were added, there arestill more contemplated if it is pos-sible to obtain the interest of themembers in helping to this end. _

THE MOORE KESIDENCEThe residence for Mr. and Mrs.

Herbert Moore on Alabama Drive,facing the canal, was truly de-signed for Florida living and forFlorida housekeeping., The house was designed by Har-old Hair, architect, who alwaysproduces livable and convenienthomes, as a study of the plan tothe right will reveal.

The basic plan is a rectanglewith the important rooms project-ing from its corners to gain crossventilation so necessary in a Flor-ida home to catch the cool breezesin the Summer time and to preventdampness. Notice the compactnessof the plan and the convenient ar-rangement of the rooms,

The living room, dining room andscreen porch have excellent circu-lation and the porch leads to adining terrace on the rear of thehouse.

A model kitchen with a wealthof convenient cabinets opens intothe bedroom hall. In this hallthere are three utility closets; eachbedroom has a large closet andbath.

The house was constructed byF. A. Hiegel, contractor, of Win-

CITIZENS GIVE TRIBUTES TO ARTHUR M. HARRISArthur Harris came to Winter

Park to build a home for a rea-son like my own. He found herea spirit essentially that which hadsurrounded his fathers in oldAmerica. It showed itself in adesire for learning, in the love ofbeauty, honor, virtue and all thingsof good report. Moreover WinterPark was a stronghold of theChristian faith and the seat ofRollins College. We all found hima good neighbor, a modest, kindlygentleman. He was the friend andplaymate of many of us. He loveda good joke. He had a generousspirit and took an interest in allenterprises seeking the bettermentof our community. He was a fullsized man of considerable means.To his help, I am told, the Univer-sity Club is indebted for its com-fortable and well located home. Ithink too that he gave much helpto the Congz-egational Church inerecting the large, handsome andmuch needed addition to its struc-ture. Perhaps his most importantservice to this community was hishelp in the reorganization of TheFlorida Bank of Winter Park andhis skillful, untiring attention toits policies as president of that in-stitution after the death of thelate George Kraft. He was oneof a family of distinguished bank-ers and brokers in the long estab-lished, well known firm of Harris,Forbes and Co.

I was with him at Loon Lake inthe Adirondaeks on the day, Ithink, when the trouble began thatended his life, Yet at dinner thatday he was about the most cheerfulmember of the party.

IRVING BACHELLER.

Speaking in behalf of the menof Winter Park, we realize thatthe keenest loss we have beencalled upon to suffer in our localcommunity for many years was thesudden and peaceful passing ofour esteemed fellow townsman,Mr. Arthur M. Harris. Afterhearing almost daily comments onwhat a marvelous recovery ourfriend had made, and seeing himon the putting green with his closefriend, Mr. Irving Bacheller, atfive o'clock Thursday evening, itcame as a shock to hear that hehad passed away during the earlypart of the night. His life heretouched every part of our commu-

nity. To g'o to him for advice andcounsel, financial or moral supporton any worthy project, met witha generous response.

We do not realize the need ofsuch men in our community, suf-ficiently, until we find how fewthere are to take the place whenone passes out. His life seemed tobe a perfect example, from youthon up through the years, of a fineexistence. While his business ca-reer was highly successful, hisdomestic life was the outstandingfactor in his development. Thebeautiful companionship of himselfand his devoted wife was a sourceof great inspiration.

And so he goes on, leaving hap-py memories in the hearts andminds of those with whom he camein contact. "To live in the heartsof those we leave behind is not todie."

AT RESEARCH STUDIOThe last exhibition of the Re-

search Studio Gallery series willcontinue until the 12th of thismonth. Here are to be seen thework of the studio's resident art-ists: paintings and sculpture byMiss Wilma Wolfe, monotypes byHutton Webster Jr. and a ratherunusual set of oils by Crozier Gal-loway.

For thoroughness of workman-ship and interest in subject matter,Miss Wolfs offering's are especiallynoteworthy. Mr. Webster's mono-types are fresh in handling andcolor and are particularly sound asstudies of familiar Florida negrotypes. In Crozier Galloway's pic-tures it is evident that he has lethis imagination run wild in a setof paintings that show us a no-man's land of his own creating- orone that has, perhaps, been un-consciously influenced by the Him-alavan landscapes of Roerich.

MissNewman is spending the season inWinter Park at the Lincoln Apart-ments. Her book is entitled"Phoebe and the Duck," and is de-signed for young children under 7years of age.

EPISCOPAL CHURCHFOR 10-YEAR PROGRAM

With the world pretty generallyfilled with darkness and disaster,the liberties of free people takenfrom them and governments fall-ing into the hands of dictators,with g-eneral unrest, tragedy anddestruction all of which are large-ly the results of irrelig'ion andpaganism or because God has beenneglected or left entirely out ofman's thinking' and planning; theProtestant Episcopal Church inthe United States, under the lead-ership of the Presiding Bishop, theRight Reverend H. St. GeorgeTucker, idealizing the world's needof a reconsecration of the mem-bers to the work for which thechurch was organized, namely, thespread of Christ's Kingdom*' hasoutlined a ten year program

Cooperating most heartily withthe Presiding Bishop is the Bishopof South Florida, the Right Rev-erend John D. Wing, whose juris-diction covers practically thewhole of the peninsular part ofFlorida and working closely withBishop Wing is the Rector of AllSaints' Church in Winter Park, theReverand W. K. Chidester.

It is not late to bring about achange in the current of world af-fairs. These are days of darknessand evil but similar discouragingconditions were present two thous-and years ago when Christ cameinto the world and changed thecourse of events. Looking backthrough history we find that Godchooses just such times as theseto raise up individuals or groupsto redeem the times.

The Rector of All Saints'Church has appointed a committeeof active communicants to bringdirect contact from the PresidingBishop down to the newest bap-tized person in the church. Head-ing this committee are the follow-ing: W. F. Pelham, chairman,Nelson Glass, Butler Neide, Mrs.John K. Graves, Mrs. EveretteRoyal, vice chairman. This com-mittee will head a larger commit-tee which will be designated asmessengers.

When the full strength of thechurch, with other Christian or-ganizations is aroused to the lead-ership and the power that can beasserted through a more conscien-tious realization of its members'obligations as Christians, thingswill happen in this world on everyfront that will make it a betterworld in which to live.
