Oscar Peterson is Seals chairman
The 1977 Christmas Seals are
reproductions of two Paintings,
both eskitno scenes, by the late
Dr. Paul Mari of Vancouver,
British Columbia. Dr. Mari who
worked in the British Columbia
Division of Tuberculosis Control

family groupings etched against a
magnificent northern, sky,
backgrounded by the midnight
sun. Each Seal bears the red
double-barred cross of the
Christmas Seal Organization, and
the words "Canada 1977."
It is symbolic that Dr. Mari,
who worked with tuberculosis
patients all hiS life should provide
the paintings from which the
Christmas SEals are reproduced,
as the funds from Christmas Seals
go to fight tuberculosis and other
lung diseases.
Dr. Mari was born in Russia
and educated in China where he
attended medical school at the
University of Hong Kong and the
University of Shanghai. He cared

A popular Christmas plant
suitable for cool, sunny house and
office locations is the colourful
cyclamen, says John Hughes,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist.
Cyclamen available locally are
usually grown from seed by
Ontario greenhouse growers. It
takes from 10 to 18 months to
produce a finished plant.
Because cyclamen is such a
long-term crop, its cost is often a
little higher than some of the
other popular Christmas plants,
such as the poinsettia.
Mr. Hughes says cyclamen are
grown at 10°C night tempera-
tures, and 16° day temperatures.
Clearwater Lake Indian Hospital,
Manitoba for a few months then

Clinic in Winnipeg in 1957 and

he went to British Columbia.

This helps to produce firm foliage
and the characteristic ball-shaped
top growth.
When buying cyclamen, Mr.
Hughes suggests checking under
the canopy of foliage. Ideally,
there should be a multitude of
developing flower buds.
Cyclamen, like most Christmas
plants, prefer cooler tempera-
tures and high humidity. This
plant will enjoy a bright location
in a south-, west-, or east-facing
window with temperatures of 12
to 15°C, away from hot air
registers, radiators and hot,
bright lights. With proper
attention, cyclamen will flower
from four to eight weeks.
