by Dorothy Miller (Mrs. Holger Cahill) and four tinsel pictures given by Mr. and Mrs. Day Krolik, Jr. (see The Clarion, Winter 1978). Our sculpture collection is growing by leaps and bounds with contributions from Merle Glick, of Pekin, Illinois; Roderick and Betsy Moore of Ferrum, Virginia; and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Meyers of New York City. Mr. Glick has stepped forward once again with a rich variety of fish, duck, and shorebird decoys. His gift includes shorebird carvings by Herman Glick of Havana, Illinois; fish decoys by Miles Smith of Marine City, Michigan; and a canvasback drake by the Peoria, Illinois, carver Charles Schoenheider, Jr. Like these decoy carvers, Burlin Craig and Ben Ortega are contemporary masters of traditional subjects. Craig hails from Vale, North Carolina. His grotesque jug is the gift of Roderick and Betsy Moore.

St. Francis, by Ben Ortega of Tesuque, New Mexico, is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Meyers. Ortega is well-known for his carved and assembled sculptures in cedar, drift-, and cottonwood. In summary, recent gifts to the permanent collection span the 19th and 20th centuries and represent a variety of artists, media, and traditions. They are of such quality and variety, in fact, that acknowledgment here barely suffices. The Museum's appreciation will live well into the future and the prosperity of these recent months will be shared publicly for years to come.
