Nevada City-Grass Valley Nugget, Sept. 9, 1948 TIME FOR CLASS By Chico State College Are “Limners” Extinct? “To all gentlemen and others ‘—portrait: painting and Engravting, Heraldry and House-painting will be undertaken and performed Dy me at lowest rates.”’ Thus ad‘vertised one B. Roberts of CharYeston in the South Carolina Gawette of May. 1735. And no doubt Mr. Robert’s announcement Wrought to his studio a steady Glow of customers, for here ‘was @he colonial counterpart of our mmodern portrait photographer. The history of American art is full of episodes, both legendary and factual, to stir the imagina‘ ant and as attractive as the truth will possibly permit. This. the painter knew, and he prepared accordingly. In winter time when travel was difficult he put in a supply of stock portraits; in summer he took to the road with his wares and reaped a rich harvest. Colonial America supported many itinerant “limners’’ of this type, a number ofwhom became, in spite of their seasonal rovings, identified with localities in.which they enjoyed a reputaton not only as artists but as talented contributors'to other cultuural] and social activities, BIG FINAL DAYS PLANNED FOR FAIR a a 9:30 A.

To the cost of damaged property must be added an additional $1,550,000,000 to cover medical expenses chargeable against automobile accident claims and the value of services lost to the country both during the year and in later years, because of death or disablement. Estimated. loss for deaths alone has been estimated at $30,000,000 by the National Safety Council, An increase in reportable property damage. accidents is noted. Because: property values and repair costs have soared since the ing 1947, National Automobile Club declares the result would have been the death in motor vehicle accidents of about 50 individuals out of every 100,000 for the year. Alcoho! still plays an important role in traffic deaths, for a survey of 23 states for 1947 indicates that about 19 percent of drivers involved in fatal accidents had been drinking and almost 24 percent of the adult pedestrians killed in motor vehicle accidents had been drinking. In one-quarter of the fatal accidents, a driver or a pédestrian was reported to have been drinking. % MARRIAGE LICENSES DEITRICK-LAIRD — In Nevada City, Nevada County, September 2, 1948, David Soren Deit-. rick, 27, and June Muriel Laird, “wisely, MARK OF WISE MOTORIST When winter winds begin to blow -—— beware of: blowouts!
