...opposition (but not planned that way, insisted David Cityans) was a showing of 28 oils by 41-year-old Dale Nichols, art editor of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and a nationally known painter of Christmas-cardish Midwestern landscapes and Greyhound bus ads.

Fairwing 1 and Fairwing 18 have been based in the Ryukyu Islands since early April. Fairwing 1, under veteran seaplaner Rear Admiral John Dale Price, has sunk or damaged more than 200,000 tons of shipping in Korean waters. Fairwing 18, skippered by Rear Admiral Marshall Raymond Greer (onetime shipmate of Price in the old battleship North Dakota), has operated farther east, where the hunting was not so good, but sometimes it has flown over...

"Poetic" names built around glen, dale, vale, hurst, mere and burn broke out like a rash in the late 1800s; soon they enclosed many cities "like a ring of outer fortifications," protecting them from such vulgarisms as creek, gap, bottom and bluff.

...been the elimination of the role of the Helmers' children from active stage roles. Since in the original play they serve as a means of broadening Nora's character and giving her motives foundation, their loss is almost irreparable. In meeting the difficulties brought on by this omission, Dale Melbourne as Nora falls far short of possessing the ability to make the character seem real.
