and Gallery at 312 Commercial street, which had its
humble beginnings in the
annex of the National Hotel,
said Hélen Bontecou,. vicepresident-of-t-h-e—organiza=
tion.
‘Since those days, she said,
it has grown to be a center
of the town. “The original
idea came from artists, as
original ideas are supposed
to, The artists were Dorothy
and Bob Gilberg. "
Originally, in 1951, the
workshop served as a studio
for Bob’ Gilberg and Helen
Bontecou, and as a meeting
place forthe fledgling Nevada~City Art Association.
Most of the original members of the association were
beginning artists whom Gilberg was instructing at night
school. These classes were
held at the Nevada City High
School.

into the studio and was run
by Pam Lopez, one of Gilberg 'sstudents. She was assisted by Dorothy Gilberg.
_Then came the Artists
Christmas Fair.
That was a speculative
experiment, Miss Bontecou
said, Every available idea
was used and everything submitted was accepted. To
draw a crowd a picture was
given away and local talent
was commandeered to entertain the visitors.
The first yeara potter unknown tothe association appeared at the door with his
wares, HelenBontecou said.
The potter was Niels Frederiksen, “The Mug Man”.
The Fair and Frederiksen
reciprocated in their journey
to fame, ‘she said. To the
amazement of the sponsors
$700”were taken in for the
artists in 1951. In 1961 more
than $5000-worth-of art work
was sold for the artists.
Fhere are-other old timers
whoare still contributing to
and benefiting from the Fair.
Two of the larger contributors are Mary Lou-Steger and
the Grag family,
Last December the addition of Osborn and Woods
studio added immeasurably
to the success of-the Fair,
Miss Bontecou stated. “Not
only the use of their studio,
but-also their_generous-hospitality too were a contribution." .
"The community is larger
now andthe world and Nevada County are more art
conscious. The gallery is
doing well for so small a
community and is becoming
more and more a gathering
place on Wednesday afternoons and the third Thursday evening of each month,"
she concluded.
In 1962 the association
awarded its first art scholarship and this year it hopes to
be able to duplicate the project.

Dear Corinthia:

It was nice.to get your letter about your problem of
buying your father a birthday gift. I am sorry that I can't «
say if your father would like an electric razor, My father
doesn't use one, I don't think my father would use one
either, He says that with everyone running off and buying electric razors who is going to sponsor the TV football broadcasts when tlie Gillette people go out of business.
Mother. said daddy was old fashioned to shave with a
safety razor and that the Gillette people should be very
‘thankful to him because if he stopped using their blades
it would probably put one shift out of business at their
West Coast: plant. Mother was just needling daddy but
she hates to have old razor blades left in the bathroom,
Daddy saidthat he could shave with a straight razor like
his grandfather used and this would solve the blade problem. Mother said why didn't he? She was sure grandfather’s old razors wefe someplace in our attic, My
brother wanted to see daddy shave with a straight razor
so we all went to the attic to look for grandfather's
razors,
We couldn't find the box they were supposed to be in
but daddy discovered an old rocking chair that had a
padded seat in it and a padded back, He pulled it out
onto the floor and sat in,it and rocked. While he was
rocking I called to him to come and ‘help us find the
razor box but he didn't seem to hear me. He just sat and
rocked, Mother looked at daddy rocking and said we
shouldn't disturb him, She said he had been asked to run
for the school board andhe was probably just sitting there
ina brown-study dreaming about moving onward and upward,
I don't know what she meant by this but finally she put
her hand on daddy's shoulder and said: "Come on Jack,
the crisis is over, let's go down for lunch,"
