Mort, Jr. Collection of African Art. The collection, which is a partial gift of Mr. Owen D. Mort, Jr., is one of the worlds most extensive private collections of African Art. The collection originated with the acquisitive eye of Mr. Mort, a Californian who spent nine years working in Zaire, (formerly the Belgian Congo) as a consulting hydroelectric engineer. The installay tion of high tension lines took Mr. Mort into the heart of Zaire, and it was there he was intrigued by the highly stylized objects that the various tribes such as the Kuba, Pende, and the Yaka were using in their daily lives. Now that the collection has been secured for the Museum by the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Founda- tion grant, research and documenta- tion has begun in preparation for a ma- jor exhibition of the collection, schedued for 1987, and for which a complete catalogue will be produced, The total value of the collection is over 1.3 million dollars, and consists of nearly 1,500 ritual objects including masks, furniture, utensils, money, weapons, sculpture, musical in- struments, royal costumes, jewelry, and many kinds of weavings. Dr. Patricia Darish, Ph.D., of the University of Indiana states that Mr. Morts collection is the most complete collection of African Art from the Republic of Zaire in the United States, African and European collectors. Examples from the Mort Collection, as it is now known, will be displayed in the Museum from March 9 to April 20, 1986, in an Exhibition curated by the Museums Educational Curator, Sue McCoy. Titled "The Magical Art of Zaire, the exhibition will highlight some of the ritual objects used by the people of Zaire. The Mort Collection considerably augments the existing collections of Primitive Art at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, which include examples from Oceanic, American Indian, and African objects, including African objects previously donated by Mr. Mort. The addition of this major collection will increase the ability of the Museum of Fine Arts to serve as the major resource for the visual arts in the state of Utah, and allow its outreach programs to expand into new areas of cultural awareness. cross-countr- The Vernal area swimming pool will not be open for public swimming until Monday, Dec . 30. According to C. Booth Wallentine, executive vice president of the states largest farmranch organization, the Farm Bureau action was made necessary by Congress failure to reach agreement on legislation to replace the current grazing fee law, which expires Dec. 31. Utah livestock producers rely heavily on public land for grazing cattle. These stockmen must have the assurance of an economically realistic grazing fee, in order to obtain operating credit to continue their winter, as well as summer grazing operations, Wallentine said. Wallentine said Farm Bureau has sent telegrams to President Reagan, Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel and Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block, urging an executive order be issued to continue the present grazing fee formula and grazing advisory boards until Congress can reach an agreement on an extension of the law. The Farm Bureau has also urged each member of the Utah congressional delegation to lobby the Reagan Administration for an executive order. Livestock production generates more than $1 5 billion in economic activity in Utah each year, Wallentine pointed out. Much of that is dependent upon the grazing of public lands, where ranchers are the major feepaying users of this resource, he stated. The Farm Bureau official added the grazing of public lands by domestic livestock is the only way to economically harvest the renewable forage resources of these lands. New Years Eve Special!
