W. W.

The winning panel by Mr. Jarvis was one of 80 entered in the contest. It was delicately shaded beige in color and was described by Mr. Jarvis as "pickled redwood."

Mr. Jarvis, a native of England who learned his trade in that country, specializes in deluxe home and shop interiors in the Los Angeles-Hollywood area.

Henry Afman of Denver, first vice-president of the International Society of Master Painters and Decorators, presented the prizes in behalf of the donors.

Participation in the program of the master painters and decorators is part of a program of cooperation between painters and decorators, paint manufacturing concerns and the redwood industry inaugurated for 1937.
