Corot Painting To Be Discussed.
Graham McInnes will tell the his-
tories of two famous paintings, own-
ed in Canadian galleries, when he
speaks next to national network lis-
teners of the CBC Tuesday, March
22, 4.45 to 5.00 p.m. EST. "Seeing
Pictures",'a series devoted to the
famous art treasures of the Domin-
iopn, will feature a description of
"L'Tle Heureux", by Corot and a dis-
cussion of "Vulcan and Aeolus as
Teachers of Mankind", by the great
Florentine painter, Piero deCosimo.
Corot, the strong, classical painter,
and Corot, the realist are one and
the same with; Corot, the lyrical
painter of fluffy willows. But he is
best known on the North American
continent as a lyricist. A French
wit once said that Corot had painted
seven hundred pictures and that two
thousand of them were in America.
"L'Ile Heureux", Painted in 1864 as
part of a series of panels for tie

The Cosimo canvas is believed to
be one of a series of four showing
the legend of Vulcan, and was ac-

from the collection of Lord Lothian.

ONTARIO, CAMPAIGN
Toronto, Ont ' March 10 -"Hones-
tly Nov. What's _'Your Hurry" is the
suggestive and 'attention -arresting
sentence being displayed on over four
hundred billboards this week through-
out Ontario.
This safety sign directed to the
motoring public has been made avail-
able by a donation of the necessary
billboard space by E. L.' Ruddy Com-
pany Limited to the White Cross
Safe Driving Movement. The post-
ers carry a large reproduction of the
White Cross emblem, in colors, in
addition to the message quoted, and
the well-known slogan of the Mover
botmeat "Be A. White Driver" across the
tom,
Acceording to a statement issued by
Dalton J. Little, Secretary of the
White Cross Safe Driving Movement,
to members of the Ontario Advisory
Committee, 253,487 White Cross em-
blems have been distributed from his
office since the commencement of the
Campaign, August 27th last, at the
Safe Driving Clinic, Imperial Oil,Lim
ited,'Canadian National Exhibition, to
March 2nd inclusive. This safety ef-
fort became a public movement on
September 2nd when, with the co-
operation of the Ontario Department
of Highways, Ontario Safety League
and other public bodies, the person-
nel
ersonnel of the present representative
Committee was, in , part, enlisted,
with the balance of the twenty-four
members in different parts of the
Province subsequently becoming ac-
tively associated. The Campaign is
at present confined to the Province
of Ontario.
The posters referred to, which are
done in four calors, have been provid-
ed at cost to the Committee by Rolph
Clark Stone Limited, and the funds
for their purchase have been sub-
scribed to date by forty business
firms located in sixteen Municipali-
ties of the Province. These contri-
butions are listed in the report to the
Committee.
Two large painted signs in Toron-
to- have been donated to the Move-
ment by Charles Baker Limited,
These signs depict a ear crash with -
stretcher bearers carrying the vic-
tim in the foreground, and read "It
takes 73 feet to stop at 30 miles";
"Drive Safely"; "White Cross Safe
Driving Movement" signature; in ad-
dition to the reproduction of the
White Cross emblem, in colon
Mr. Little estimates that 30% of
615,000 motor vehicles registered in
Ontario last year have displayed, or
are displaying the White Cross em-
blem. "On the same basis," he says,
"30% of 760,000 licensed operators
in Ontario have become White Cross
Drivers by virtue of the fact that
they ave either driving their own mo-
tor vehicles displaying the emblem, or
the motor vehicles of their employers
which carry the emblem." In arriv-
ing at the estimate of enrollments,
the Committee makes allowance for
emblems on bicycles, for the use of
two emblems or more on many motor
vehicles, for emblems which become
damaged or are, destroyed, and for
emblems which were attached to 1937
license markers but not transferred
to the 1938 license markers.

to put them on their cars as a token
of their adherence to the simple rule.

;THAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING:
ARE THE OLYMPICS
WORTHWHILE ?
Tho Olympic Games are due to be
held in Tokyo in 1910 and as might
be expected the -re is a wide difference
of opinion as to the advisability of
proceeding with them in view of the
present war. ' The straggle with
China will surely be over Tang before
1940, but no one can tell as the -Chin-
ese are preparing for ` a protracted
struggle. But apart from the ques-
tion of the end of the struggle Ja-
pan is not popular with the nations
which are most interested is athlet-
ics. The British Athletic Association
has already put itself an record as in
favor of boycotting the games. There
will not be much enthusiasm in Can-
ada over sending a team to Japan.
We wonder if the Olyni ies are
worth continuing. They were ,inaug-
orated with the best of intentions.
It was feltthat they would help to
bring the nations closer together; it
would be a move towards peace. If
the athletes of the world met in
friendly -competition. they would nev-
er want to clash on the field 'of war.
But. it has not worked out very sat-
isfactorily. As a factor for peace the
Olympics mean nothing and there of-
ten has been friction. The last Olym-
pics were held in Berlin and it was
seized upon by the Nazi Government
as a means of propaganda. Japan
wants to use the Olympics for the
same purpose.

fuss and expense? - London Free

so set in their ways that if they were
accustomed to wearing blue suits (as
most of them are, it being the easiest
color to choose) it was almost im-
possible to get them to wear any-
thing but blue.

1 But not oely in the world of Eadie
ion , has man changed. Take hie
smoking habits, for another example;.
It is generally believed that a matt
considers his -ryipe as being sacro-
sanct, and yet, as a matter of fact„
men are not smoking pipes nearly as
much as they once did, They have

Although 22 cigarettes are smoked
now for every one smoked 30 years

GOOD FOR EVERYBODY
It is to be hoped that the people
of Alberta will now be given a fair
chance to reconsider their previous
judgment and adapt any experiment-
al economics they may fancy to the,
laws of Canada. The Supreme Court
has done then a right good turn by,
charting the limits within which they
can move. It has also buttressed the
strength of our Federal system,
badly weakened by some recent . de-
eisions of the Privy Council, by sus-
taining without peradventure the
right of the Dominion Government to
veto mischievous Provincial legisla-
tion. It has endorsed again the di-
visions of responsibility between the
Dominion and the Provinces laid
down in the Constitution, and has
struck out boldly to protect the free-
dom of the press. --Montreal Star.
MEN'S HABITS D0 CHANGE
One of the most common jibes di-
rected at men is that they are so un-
changeable. It comes, not only from
Spain, before the civil war, used'
to supply' Canada with olive oil. Now
the Dominion gets its supplies prin-
cipally from France (12,000 cwt, in.
1936) and Italy (4,000 cwt.). World
trade in olive oil has declined in re-
cent years.

there someone digging a pit or ex-
cavation, so that you have to lean
over and look down to see what's
going on?
In such cases, the angle makes
the view interesting, doesn't it?
Then why not try the same thing
with your camera?
I know, of course, there's a rule
which says, "Don't tilt the camera,
It's a good rule, too, for many pic-
tures. For instance, if you take a
picture of your house, and get so
close that you have to tilt the cam-
era upward, your picture will show
the house as if it were tilted back on
its foundations, which isn't the ef-
fect you want at all.
nut, in a' great many pictures, an
unusual viewpoint gives added in-
terest. And, for many subjects, the
"bird's eye" or "worm's eye" angle
is a natural point of view.
For example,suppose yott see a,.
painter on a tall ladder doing repair
work on a store sign? If you snap
hire from some distance down the
street, the picture won't be espe.
oially interesting. But -what if you
are almost nedor the ladder, with
the camera pointed straight up at
him? You will get an "angle" pic-
ture that

and if you try, snaps from two or
three angles, turning the camera aa"
that the lines of the ladder and store
sign "lead into" the picture in dif-
ferent -ways, you may get several.
striking arrangements.
