A very excellent program was enjoyed, followed by refreshments, served in the amusement hall. Dr. Avard Fairbanks was the guest speaker of the evening. During Dur-ing his lecture, he modeled in clay an image of the Prophet Joseph Jos-eph Smith, kneeling in prayer, seeking for wisdom. Dr. Fairbanks explained the three fundamental laws of all creation rhythm, balance bal-ance and symmetry. Great art as well as natural creation and growth is the result of the observance obser-vance of these laws. He explained that even social and political confusion con-fusion result from the disregard of one or more of these fundamental fundamen-tal principles. Great creation, great art is the expression of great ideals. Dr. Fairbanks is a native of Utah the son of the late J. B. Fairbanks, one of Utah's fine painters and landscape artists. He is a world traveler and student of I the best art schools of the world. He has received recognition as one of the foremost international sculptors scul-ptors our times. He was employed I at the University qf Michigan at j a much better salary and prospective prospec-tive retirement benefit than Utah offers, but he willingly made this material sacrifice to come home and help to build the essential cultural cul-tural and spiritual foundation for the youth of our state. Great tribute is due all men of this caliber.
