Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills. -

He was revered as a great mathematician and physicist, an inventor, and the greatest prose stylist in the French language. He was a defender of religious freedom and an apologist of the Christian faith. He was born June 19, 1623, at Clermont, the capital of Auvergne, which was a small town of about nine thousand inhabitants. He was born to Etienne and Antoinette Pascal. Blaise had two sisters, Gilberte, born in 1620, and Jacqueline, born in 1625. Blaise was born into a very influential family. -

Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.' This is a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by one of several organizations as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added. The original book has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain.

California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years. -

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy. -
