Our neighboring state exercised the needed vision and foresight to preserve the early gold mining camps and develop highways that permit easy access to the settlements that burgeoned at along the rich quartz veins of the Sierra Nevada. The gold rush of 1849 hastened colonization of the West and ushered in an era of modern mining. Wealth from the ores brought rapid growth on the coast. California became a state without going through the usual territorial status. Columbia State Park is typical of the links in a chain of gold camps along the Mother Lode that have been preserved by careful enterprise. Columbia is a museum where the thirsty traveler may step off the board walk for a cool sarsaparilla along the way to the Wells Fargo Express his mid-centur- Fair to Stage Pino Group Tlife ic Larry Pino Accordion which recently honors in the open top senior division for symphonic orchestras during the Symphon- Orchestra, took first .

The concerts will be performed at 8 p.m. on Sept. 14 and 15 in the Youth Auditorium-at the west end of the Fair Grounds, according to Woolas A. Macey, secretary-manager, Utah State Fair Association. The accordion orchestra was organized in 1955 by Mr. Pino and a year later won first place at the Rocky Mountain Accordion Association festival. In 1957 the orchestra placed second in a national contest in Chicago, and in 1958 and 1959 the orchestra was featured as guest orchestra at-t- he Western States Accordion Festival In Long Beach where 153 students of Mr. Pino won 17 awards, including the sweepstakes trophy and the grand prize. Mr. Pino studied with Frank Gaviani, organizer of the first symphonic accordion orchestra in the United States. He is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Mass., and played concerts In the Boston Symphony Hall and other New England areas prior to coming to Utah in e 195L - station,- - the Emporium or Apothecary. The old print shop with its hand press displays gala posters announcing theatrical events that were staged in the largest town of the Mother Lode group. A modern airport services the town where a population of 15,000 produced 87 million dollars worth of the precious yellow tnetal. This locale for many stories by Mark Twain and Bret Harte has been utilized for the production of some 200 movie productions. The Destroyer Fire, the destroyer that has dogged mans footsteps, has left its scars and as they healed, the newly constructed segments have faithfully recorded the impression of style and decoration of the period. Importance of the fire station is evident by its prominent location. The old building houses a well polished pump and hose cart under the bell tower the tallest structure in town. Vehicular traffic is barred except for a vintage stage coach that conveys visitors through the town and past the primitive school house. Fully operative sluice boxes tempt the traveler to try his luck wliere a sudden cloudburst rent the ochre-coloresoil to precipitate an early gold rush. .Highway Turns The highway turns sharply to keep through traffic out of Jamestown, a delicatetown ly ornate board-fron- t whose facade resembles the canopied decks of a Mississippi River packet. Sonora, a modem community living in a house with the past, in its 'unexpectedness resembles a freshly opened pocket of nuggets with its winding narrow streets lined with original homes and shops with modem pricing in a region where pills were said to sell for 10 dollars each without advice.

Museum Show Probes Aspects of Modern Art -- An exhibit, Elements of Modern Art, designed particularly for the museum visitor who finds himself unprepared for a confrontation with the new language of contemporary painting, is presently on view at the University of Utah Museum of Fine Arts, 400 Park Bldg. Selected by Thomas M. Messer, director of The Solomon R. Gpggenheim Museum, from the Museums collection, the exhibit is touring throughout the United States under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts. 30 Oils Included Thirty small and medium size oils, relief constructions, drawing and watercolors ilas-lustrating e c t s of Representation, Expression, Decoration, Construction and Fantasy in modern art are included in the exhibit. The first group pertains to the elements of Representation and' points out the difference between realities and their symbolic representation. An oil with sand, Still Life, by Georges Braque, and a drawing, Mountain, by Alberta Giacometti show the differences that distinguish the real from the representation of the real. The second element, Expression, is illustrated by a charcoal drawing, Woman -Killing a Horse, by Ernst Barlach, and a Kirchner watercolor, Violet Clouds. Element of Decoration The element of Decoration is represented in the exhibit by a Morris Graves gouache, Snake, Moon and Rock, A vicarious trip to the among others.

Honored for Heroism One of the Weissenbach men was made a duke for his heroism. I read about it in my elementary -s- choolbook, Miss Weissenbach recalled.

During those two black years she had helped to feed the family by "drawing and painting for hillside farmers. In 1941 she was ordered to give German lessons to Yugoslav people, a period of partisan warfare in that country. "It was a hot time, she recalls. My uncle, also a teacher in Yugoslavia at the time, was assassinated. Freed from Prison After her father was freed from concentration camp in 1947, Miss Weissenbach studied at the Academy of .Fine Arts in Vienna under the direction of the noted Prof. Christian L. Martin, and obtained her masters degree. Since then she has been a teacher, producing graphics, book and greeting card illustrations which have won wide recognition in international exhibitions held in London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and many other major centers. Her work has also been used in France, Italy, East Berlin and Budapest to illustrate brochures and books of folk tales.
