( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Goderich Art Club names new slate BY LORNA VINCENT The fall and winter season of the Goderich Art Club began in September with a meeting at the home of Lu Legg. The President, Gailya Maguire, presided. Isabel Watson of the Goderich Library provided an interesting program of slides. The first set entitled, "The Blue Heartland", traced the history of ships that plied the Great Lakes. The last film depicted the life and work of the late Arthur Lismer, a renowned member of the "Group of Seven", whose work with children at his Montreal art school was widely praised in Canada and Europe. In October, the Art Club meeting at the home of Annie Finnigan, introduced a pro- gram by Birgit Hillier who lectured and presented slides on the history of dolls from the 14th century to the present. The dolls, which were dressed with great attention to detail, reflected the life style of each era. Dolls, until, fairly recent times, were show pieces, not toys for children. One example had been dressed by Marie Antoinette while she was a prisoner at the Tuilereis. In November, the Art Club met at the home of Hollis Manske. The President, Gailya Maguire, introduced Philip McMillan, a drama and art teacher at Goderich high school and Chairman of the Goderich Arts Foundation. He spoke about the new Livery and how it came into being. It is to serve as an umbrella for all the arts, to be used by all artists: dancers, drama, children's troupes, etc. Mr. McMillan sug- gested that the club think of how it can make use of the building. The Goderich Art Club was invited to par- ticipate in an art show to be held at the Livery in October 1984, thereby helping in community participation. It was decided to send a representative, Birgit Hillier, from the Art Club to the Art Foundation Board. The members' annual Christmas dinner will be held December 3 at the Court Restaurant. A program will be arranged to follow the dinner. The slate of officers for 1984 are: Presi- dent Gailya Maguire, vice-president Birgit Hillier, secretary Lu Legg and treasurer Beulah Long. Monthly programs for 1984 will be presented by various members of the Art Club. The studio at MacKay Centre will be closed throughout December. British Pensioners Association formed By Helen Owen "The Association's target is 1,000 paid up members by Christmas. With will and deter- mination this target can be reached." This message from the President of the British Pensioners Association ( BPA) of Canada is indicative of the active steps be- ing taken to achieve parity of pensions for British expatriates domiciled in Canada. The present inequality makes it increasing- ly difficult for them to cope with fixed pen- sions further reduced by the falling ex- change rate as well as rising costs. The newly formed Association moved quickly when Margaret Thatcher visited Canada in September when it was learned that the indexing of British Pensions was on the agenda for the meeting with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and it was en- couraging to learn from his reply that the opportunity had been taken to raise the sub- ject. A petition was also prepared for Prime Minister Trudeau accompanied by factual evidence which clearly indicated the inade- quacies and injustice of present policies. In their November newsletter the Associa- tion reported that when the question was raised in the House of Lords in the U.K. it received strong support from people whose opinions carry weight in political circles. According to the letter, the Minister of Health and Social Security Norman Fowler has been addressed by the Vancouver, B.C. President of BPA and was informed that the old age pensions of British subjects in Canada was to be alleviated. The questions remain as to the rate, and the date of the in- crease. Support has also been demonstrated in other areas. In the U.K. the National Federation of Old Age Pensioners Associa- tions took the opportunity to address Prime Minister Thatcher on this issue prior to her Canadian visit. Membership enquiries will be welcomed by the BPA whose address is 331 Eglinton Avenue East, Toronto, Ont. M4P 1L7, and callers will be welcomed at the office which is open from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, Mondays to Fridays. The Association also informs its members that every full day spent on holiday in ,the Homeland means eligibility for a claim for full U.K. pension benefits. Enquiries should be addressed to: Department of Health and Social Security, Central Office, Newcastle- upon-Tyne, N.E.98 1YX, England.
