No one can doubt it after the excellent exhibit of original paintings that were on display following a competition that was sponsored by the Salads Tea Company and -for which prizes were offered on a pro- vincial level. Entries reached the provincial competition by a process of elimination.

How many wo- men, when looking at a beau- tiful sunset, or a particularly attractive garden, have said with a longing sigh — "Olt, if only I could paint, what a pic- ture that would make," In years gone . by a few of them ever made the attempt. But. 01 re- cent years night sehoole in many country districts included classes in art. The result was amazing. Women who apparent- ly had been interested only in culinary arts carne out of the kitchen and went to work with paint and palette. At one night school where classes had been held fur three years two en- tire classrooms were given over to paintings -••- one for elemen- tary students and the other for second -year advanced classes. And most of the sudents were from rural areas. One time there was a young lad who was asked if he could play the violin, 1Ie• replied --- "I don't know yet - 1 haven't tried!” The sante answer wciuld be equally commendable can- ing from a person if she were asked if she could paint a pic- ture. Naturally, only a person with outstanding talent and abi- lity can play or paint without some form of training, but there are hundreds of persons, who, with a Little encouragement and rudimentary training are amazed ter find within themselves latent talent that was never even sus- pected. So the Salada Tea Com- pany is definitely helping the cultural life of rural Ontario by sponsoring such a worthwhile project. The judges were two well- known artists — Palmer and Casson. I was interested in one criticism they made -- that the artists showed a tendency to copy a scene exactly as they saw it. "Sometimes," said Mr, Palmer, "there is more in know- ing what to leave out of a pic- ture than what to put in it." That takes a little digesting but if you mull it over long enough it sounds so reasonable. After alt a painting is not a photo- graph -- although, come t o think of it many photographs would also be improved if a few of the details were left out! But a painting . . . take a shapely elm for instance, its lovely sym- metrical branches sheltering laz- ing cows beside a stream it is a beautiful tree but it has quite a number of dead, disfig- uring branches. A camera would photograph those branches but an artist would never dream of letting them appear an his can- vas._ Isn't that typical of what the critics meant? Ey tit way, I thought. Mr. [boson le:;,l a wonderful idea.

Now there's a constructive suggestion it ever there was one. Which reminds me, I have a reprint of a beautiful picture by A. J. Casson, P..R.C.A. It is call- ed "Canadian Spring" and fea- tures white trilliums. Early last January when old calendars were being discarded I saw this picture hanging in a feed store. I asked the manager what he was going to do with ire "Noth- ing — take it if you want it" I often look at that picture and think what a treasure 1 rescued from the trash can. Well, I seem to have let pic- tures and painting run away with my space. But we're still here on the good old farm.

Why did the nighty Fuhrer so hun'tble himself? Because he had never had faith in rockets as a war weapon; and when in 1943 he had a dream they would never be operational against England he refused any prior- ity.
