TOWN CRIER TOWN CRIER COMMENT CCORDING to reports, attempts are now being made to divert the State Highway department's gasoline tax revenues into the A general fund of cities and counties. Gasoline taxes and vehicle license funds paid by Washington moto^ ists constitute the only revenue received by this state department, For several years now funds have been accumulating faster than they can be used. New projects now under construction do not begin to drain these resources. Repairs and maintenance expenses amount to little. Clever politicians, no doubt, have spent nights thinking up ways and means they can get their claws on this money easily. And th^ move to swell the general fund may be just another scheme. At any rate, politicians feel they'd like to have a chance to handh. the money in their own sweet way. All that's necessary is the author ization to spend. Then crooked office holders, in collusion with equally as crooked contractors and business men, will see to it they get all they can.

Americanization and Cultural Preservation in Seattle's Settlement House: A Jewish Adaptation of the Anglo-American Model of Settlement Work ALISSA SCHWARTZ New York City This articleexamines the dual agendas of Americanization and preserva- tion of Ashkenazic Jewish culture through an historicalanalysis of the work of Seattle's Settlement House, a social service center founded in 1906 by elite, Americanized Jews to serve poorer, immigrant Jews of Ashkenazic and Sephardic origin. Such analysis is set against the ideologicalbackdrop of Anglo-Americanism which pervaded the field of social work in its early efforts at self-definition and professionalization.Particular attention is paid to the role of the arts at Settlement House, with comparisons to Chicago's Hull-House, the prototypical American settlement operating at the turn of the century. This case study analyzes a German Jewish adaptationof an Anglo-American, Christian model of social work.

  • Helmi: Letters from Elma, by Wesley Wehr
    WashingtonHistory.org HELMI Letters from Elma By Wesley Wehr The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2000: Vol. 14, No. 2 Nellie Cornish said to me, "Whoever becomes an artist dedicates himself to a lifetime of hard work." Someone also said, "Artists and saints are akin"—both possess infinite patience. —Helmi Juvonen Among the major artists of the "Northwest School"—Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, George Tsutakawa, and about a dozen others—painter Helmi Juvonen has emerged as an important figure. Her work is imaginative, often playful, and bountifully original. No other non-Indian artist in the early history of Northwest Art has had such firsthand knowledge of Native American art of the Pacific Northwest. The only comparable figure would be British Columbia painter Emily Carr. Both Juvonen and Carr sketched the totemic art and rituals of the region, transforming their on-the-spot sketches into strong, distinctive artistic statements. Helmi Dagmar Juvonen (1903-1985) was born in Butte, Montana. When she was 15, she and her family moved to Seattle. Her Finnish parents encouraged her artistic expression as a child. By the time Helmi entered Queen Anne High School, she was already an accomplished artist. She continued to develop her talent at the Cornish School (now Cornish College of the Arts) and appears to have been a highly motivated, talented, and hard-working student. Boxes of notebooks from these early days attest to her passion for drawing. Helmi made a respectable living by selling prints to clients like Frederick & Nelson and making sketches for the Seattle Times.

Half a century later, though much in the world has moved rapidly forward, ironically the state of blacks in ballet has waxed as much as it has waned.

Standing in the midst of ballet’s frenetic efforts to diversify, we see that even as DTH was proving the veracity of black ballet talent, this was not an incentive for white directors to hire them into their companies. It actually had PRESENTS $25,000+ quite the opposite effect, with DTH becoming the default, or catch all.

D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Anne Gerber on February 24, March 4, & April 21, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by Anne Focke for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 1983 [Tape 1, Side 1] ANNE FOCKE: Now, you were just about to talk about.. You were at the University [University of Washington-- Ed.]. When was that? ANNE GERBER: '29. ANNE FOCKE: 1929? ANNE GERBER: Class of '32. I started as an art major and didn't know who the head of the department was until I was a sophomore. The end of my sophomore year, I thought that little man with the mild blue eyes and steel- rimmed glasses was a janitor! And my teacher then was Ambrose Patterson and Hill, Raymond Hill; I liked them both a lot, but [Walter] Isaacs was the greatest influence. His idea was that students should not be told. They had to find out for themselves; they had to go more than half way. And so for two or three years, more than two years, I was in utter confusion! Nobody would tell me! (laughter) And then it began to come with spending a lot of time with magazines and books and listening.

  • Bonnie Bird Gundlach, Dancer and Dance Educator : Oral History
    University of California Berkeley BONNIE BIRD GUNDLACH: DANCER AND DANCE EDUCATOR Interviews Conducted by William Riess and Heidi Gundlach- Smith July to November 1994 INTERVIEW HISTORY Bonnie Bird Gundlach was a dancer and dance educator whose life and work spanned a period of tremendous creativity in the arts and considerable turmoil in social and political life as well. She was intimately involved in dance education both in the United States and England where she spent the last twenty years of her life. The following oral history interviews were conducted in the summer of 1994 in Tiburon, California. Bonnie had become ill in England and returned to California to seek treatment for what was quickly diagnosed as cancer of the liver. While this was a difficult time for her, she was able to be with her daughter, Heidi Gundlach-Smith, and to have the great joy of seeing her first grandchild and namesake, Bonnie Devon Smith who was born October 8, 1994. After a brief period of remission, the cancer returned, and Bonnie died on April 9, 1995. This project has been very much an extended family matter. The idea was first proposed by Suzanne Riess, a senior editor in the Regional Oral History Office of The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley; she had known Bonnie for many years. The interviewer was Suzanne's former husband, Bill Riess, whom Bonnie called her "summer son" when he was in high school. Heidi Gundlach was present for most of the interviews, participating from time to time, and she video-taped those interviews.

These artists include Sergei Rachmaninoff, Marian Anderson, Percy Grainger, Igor Stravinsky, Jose Iturbi, Winifred Christie, Pablo Casals, Amelita Galli-Curci, Nelson Eddy, Dorothy Maynor, Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony Orchestra, Todd Duncan, Marilyn Horne, Bidu Sayão, Teresa Carreño, Artur Rubenstein, and many, many others.
