The Peter Robson Gallery will open September 15 21t 461 Eglington Avenue in Toronto. This gallery will feature only the art of Peter Robson. Peter Robson's career has been escalating by leaps and bounds since he started painting two years ago. The latest development is the use of his painting, Promise of Tomorrow, as a fund-raiser for the Kinsmen Club's cystic fibrosis campaign. Originally a stonemason in his native London, England, Robson emigrated to Canada in the mid -60s with his wife and children. He went into business and at one time owned two carpet stores north of Toronto. While at school in London, he had shown a talent for painting that earned him a scholarship to an art college. However, he had to turn it down because his family needed him to contribute to their income. He left school before his 15th birthday to learn the stonemason's trade. Robson's formal art training is therefore limited to a night school course where he studied the pain- tings of great artists to learn how they created space on paper. It was while taking this course that Canadian sculptor Roy Robinson saw some of his work and en- couraged him to pursue painting. His watercolors are now commanding between $400 and $3,000.,,if you can get one. Robson frankly admits he can't keep up with the demand for his work and that is why a growing number of his paintings are available as limited -edition prints only. Group asks for immediate relief from bankruptcies The Canadian Farmers Survival Association recently presented a brief to a Liberal task force, calling for immediate relief from the threat of foreclosure and bankruptcies. The group, based in Tara, Ontario, offers financial and legal consultation and is organizing to fight for "sensible interest rate policies." In a pamphlet, the executive maintains that no- one should lose their home or livelihood because of an unstable economy. The federal government, the group says, should also look at record profits enjoyed by the country's major banks. The goals of the association are to lower interest rates, negotiate reasonable settlements between farmers and banks, to provide a legal and financial counselling service and to work for a fair price for agricultural products. At the same time, the association is demanding a moratorium to avoid bankruptcies, a rein- statement of the Farmers and Creditor Arrangement Act and action on the problem of farm prices. The association says in its pamphlet that agriculture is the prime industry in Ontario and that each dollar of gross farm income equals seven dollars in gross community income. "If interest rates and farm prices continue their devastation on the farms the rest of the - economy will crumble," the brief read. The association says that ECONOMICAL & SPORTY 1980 MAZDA GLC SPORT A two -door hatchback model equipped with S -speed transmission, radial tiros, radip, power brakes, full gunge package, plus all the standard sport equipment.

Beauty counsellors treated The Maitland Country Club was recently the setting for an evening of glamour and colour hosted by Beauty Counselors of Canada. The seminar was conducted by Betty McRuer of Owen Sound, Senior Regional Manager with Beauty Counselor, assisted by Evelyn Blackwell of Walkerton, Regional _..it.• genand-Md Ellliote_ of Oshawa, Executive Regional Manager. Counselors from the area and their guests were first provided with background information on Beauty Counselors of Canada which has been in business for almost 50 years and has the distinction of being the only cosmetics company owned and operated entirely by Canadians. Mrs. McRuer went on to explain the basic skin structure and reasons for continual skin care. New cells multiply in the epidermis and continually push older cells to the sur- face. Cellular renewal normally takes about 28 days and it slows down with age. Proper cleansing, toning and stimulating assists in speeding up this natural process. Below the epidermis is the dermis. This layer nourishes cells and removes waste. Here we Grid collagen, the structural protein responsible for elasticity of the skin. As skin ages, it loses its ability to "bounce back". Although nothing can reverse this inevitable process, con- scientious and consistent skin care helps keep skin looking softer, smoother and younger. Counselors then went into action and took their guests through the skin care routine under the direction of Mrs. • i r w� If natural gas is available to you, the Lennox Pulse high efficiency gas furnace renders the heat pump obsolete.
