FOOTBALL PRACTICE IN FULL SWING — The two football teams at
South Huron District High School are busily engaged in practice
sessions this week for an exhibition doubleheader Saturday against
Strathroy. Some of the senior players are shown above with coach Ron

Exeter lady enjoys program
featuring world's best artists
Donhauser, who has exhbited
widely in Europe and North
America; Les Graff, who has
been the supervisor of visual arts
and crafts with the Department
of Culture, Youth and Recreation
of the province of Alberta; Luke
Lindoe, another Canadian who
holds several major honors and
awards through exhibitions at
home and abroad; Ruth
McKinley, who is presently
resident potter at Sheridan
College, Brampton; Dr. Fer-
nando Camara, assistant director
of the National Institute of
Anthropology in Mexico City and
Peter Voulos, professor of art and
design at the University of
California.
Demonstrations and other
presentations were made from
Zaire and Nigeria in Africa; the
United States; Italy; Germany;
and Canada.
One of the major questions
under discussion at this year's
conference concerned the value
of conferences and exhibitions,
with particular reference to
juries.
In a statement released by
Luke Lindoe, chairman of the
Jury, he said that "A good jury
and a good hang-man have much
in common". "Many leading
artists deliberately abstained
because it was to be a juried
show," he said. "On the other
hand, 1,500 entries to a show in
Visitors reminisce
over boyhood days
Canada represents an over-
whelming endorsement from
some source. That source seems
to have been the young artists
who.had not been given such an
opportunity before."
But at the end of the judging, he
continued, "each expressed the
opinion that there must surely be
a better way. Each was
distressed at the injustices
inherent in the jurying process;
most were doubtful of any of the
methods currently used to select
big international show".
As he concluded,however, this
is the best method deduced thus
far.
On the whole, Mrs. Doerr was
very excited about the show.
There is a completely different
atmosphere for potters in
Alberta, she said. Alberta is
generally refered to as the
"ceramic province" with the
number of potters equalling the
number of painters and by far
out-numbering all other craft-
smen put together.
Although the beginnings were
not that many years ago - in the
late 50's and early 60's, the craft
has developed much faster than
in the rest of the country.
Mrs. Doerr accounted for it in
this way: Albertans live in what
can be called true wide-open
spaces. They are not hemmed in
by industry and the dense
population of Ontario, for
example. Consequently, their
visions are as wide-open as the
country they live in.
"But this is the kind of thing all
Canadians should be aware of,
especially in the fine arts field.

"Ceramics International '73"
an exhibition and conference for
artists from all over the world
was held in Alberta the end of
August and a local craftsman,
Mrs. Jack Doerr attended the
four-day event.
Mrs. Doerr, herself a member
of the Canadian Guild of Potters
was very enthusiastic about the
conference. This is the first time
the international event has been
held in North America and about
500 people attended, twice the
number expected.
Sponsored under the auspices
of the International Academy of
Ceramics in Switzerland and the
Alberta Potters' Association, the
program alternated between
Calgary and the Banff School of
Fine Art in Banff.
A combination of demon-
strations, slide presentations,
lectures, seminars and panel
discussions presented by in-
ternationally renowned artists
comprised the program and Mrs.
Doerr said the atmosphere for
learning and observation was
fantastic.
A final total of 1,493 entries
arrived for the show. All were
displayed before the jury for
judging and according to one
report, "There were ceramics in
the basement, in the whole
warehouse area, upstairs in the
gallery and teaching studio —
tables upon tables of ceramics."
Unpacking the crates literally
took months. They started to
arrive early in January. About
145 pieces arrived in damaged
condition, but in many cases the
damage was repairable. The
'storage of all the empty crates,
not to mention the ceramics
themselves, presented quite a
problem,
While entries were accepted
from organizations„ the Alberta
committee, from the beginning,
put emphasis on individual en-
tries, a unique approach for
an international show. Con-
sequently the ability to assess the
work of lesser-known artists, as
well as those prominent in the
field was an important con-
sideration.
Mrs. Doerr did not have any
entries at the conference, but
said she was rather sorry she
hadn't, if only for the excitement
of it all,
There was no major theme or
classification dealing with en-
tries to the exhibition either. The
organizers wanted to assemble
an exhibition which expressed
the current and presently
produced works of ceramics from
all parts of the world and their
relationship to one another.
Consequently, "one of a kind”
pieces, major works of art,
sculptural ceramics, examples of
the best of craft production and
the work of creative industrial
designers were 'equally eligible
for entry.
One of the aims of the
exhibition was that a fairness
would be extended to all entering,
be they young, old, known or
unknown.
Mrs. Doerr said this was one of
the most impressive aspects of
the whole conference: how
everyone mixed, with no
distinction as to fame or noteriety
in evidence.
"I was so very much impressed
by the humbleness of the great
people there," she said.
Among well-known artists at
the conference were Dr. Paul
