Ill wind slays old slat fence; new one slated
Once there was a fence, not an ordinary fence, but the old green fence on the west side of Bovard field. It was the old fence that all the little neighborhood kiddies used to write their love, letters on.
It seems that a wind that blew no good got to work and weakened all the wood fibers in the fence so that tt just couldn’t take it when that north wind blew last week. Something seemed to go out of it,
#
and the ancient barricade of Troy’s sportsmen heaved a groan and laid down on the job.
Along came a workman hired for the purpose, and he tore the old fence down slat by slat, and piled it in one corner of the field.
Today some more workmen came and started to rebuild the boundary. They dug down, and put in a heavy cement foundation, with shiny iron posts sticking up from it at intervals. There won’t be a wooden fence out there anymore . . . it’s going to be wire instead, and eight feet tall. Now the local children won’t be able to write on it, but they can watch the baseball games much easier.	i

T imber-r-r— Bugs, disease kit Troys trees
Timber, the call of the north woods resounded on the SC campus yesterday.
Pour, O and M workers substituted for the fabulous Paul Bunyan. and an old, diseased acacia tree played the part of a giant redwood.
The tree, according to the improvised woodsmen, was suffering from a malady known as guituse. A walnut tree on the same plot north of the Student Union buildirtg got the ax because it suffered from red spiders. The insects made it unsightly by eating all of its leaves. Leaves shed. O and M raked. The supermen preferred woodchopping. That walnut adorned the campus even before it was a campus.
O and M forman Arthur O. Ma-bin headed the tree crew. He was assisted by First Axman Johnnie Evans, Second Axman Bill Bledsoe, and Tom Pappas, straw boss. Mabin said that the project was undertaken to rid the campus of theN diseased trees.
Axman Evans stated that there wasn’t much hope for the 30-year-old acacia, because it continued to rot and crack off, becoming a public hazard.
The trees are gone forever, pawns of progress and the O and M.

Fisher art gallery
receives
Two Flemish pictures and one Dutch portrait recently have been added to the west gallery of the Elizabeth Holmes Fisher collection in the Fisher art gallery as gifts in the growing collection of fine paintings. They were given to the school by Mrs. Walter Harrison Fisher.
"Portrait of a Gentleman,” painted by Thomas de Keyser in 1620, is the personification of a fine gentleman of the 16th century, of which the outstanding characteristic is the black background and clothing accentuated by a white ruff. De Keyser was the leading portraitist in Amsterdam prior to Rembrandt.
The Flemish “Portrait of a Lady,” works of Gaspar de Crayer, is the picture of a court lady of the 17th century. De Crayer’s usual work
was painting altar pictures in Belgium. Included in the Flemish works also is Aert van der Neer’s “Landscape with Cattle,” painted landscape with the background of the setting sun.
The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday, from 12 to 5 p.m., and is closed Monday. It is open from 2 to 5 in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday.
