Brushwork

Shirley Temple will not be a voter for another dozen years. But last week, from the hands of farseeing Politician James Aloysius Farley, Shirley had a lofty New Deal sinecure, viz., honorary national sponsor of the Post Office Department's current National Air-Mail Week. In appreciation, Shirley promptly did more to justify her Federal job than many a dauber on a Federal art project. Dimpling industriously between scenes of Little Miss Broadway, she toiled with brush and paintbox, turned out a sample of poster art which Postmaster General Farley lost no time circulating in all corners of the nation. Looking no more like a bug-eyed flying fish than an airplane should to a nine-year-old who has never flown in one, Shirley's conception of an airliner has the indubitable distinction of having a self-portrait of the artist in the foreground, an autograph in the lower right-hand corner.
