[JEER Offers New Canaid Parcels Sir Ellsworth Fiavell•e national chairman of The United Emergency Fund for Britain, announces that the organization has revised its pre- sent series of CANAID parcels and has added a new one of eight pounds gross and another of twenty pounds gross. Purchased on order in Canada, for de'signatedl recipients in Great Britain, these parcels range in price from $2.45 to $10.25. In the new series of CANAID parcels, there is a wider diversifi- cation of food items to offset the dreary monotony of the British ra- tions which continue to be as meagre today as in the past, Sir Ellsworth explains. All parcels, except one contain substantial quantities of ineat to supplement the 21c worth that the Briton is allowed weekly. Other items include those that are costly under the point system and some that are scarce or impossible to obtain. Purchases for CANAID parcels• are'made.in Canada -exclusively and are sof the highest quality available. Packed here, the parcels are, shipped to the UEFB London warehouse so they may be dispatched immedi- ately .upon receipt ,of orders from Toronto where the labels are typed and forwarded by,air express week- ly. All CANAID- parcels are insured with -delivery guaranteed in about two weeks from the time .of the receipt of the ordlers in Toronto. With the inauguration :of the .new -CANAID parcel&, Sir Ellsworth ,de- clares that the UEFB is redoubling its efforts •across :the nation .to obtain food -and ntsed clothing for the needy. At the same fime ,attempts will be made to .increaiie .the flow -of 13 - pound parcels, went ,by ,cl irches ;and organizations in Canada, to groups .and associations in -Great Britain.

Said to resist The urge to draw was so strong boiling water. that his •father sent him to the University of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he proved to be a brilliant copyist of masters like Raphael and Vermeer. Soon he was satirizing them. The authorities frowned on this, so in sulky disgust Dali took to doodling. He filled in his time drawing criss-cross lines, circles, triangles and shapeless figures. "Tt was not until ten years later," confesses Deli, "in Paris, that I discovered that my doodling rep- resented the full force of my sub- conscious mind, and was a real con- tribution to surrealist art." Dali was a violent little man at the time and, at twenty, was hurled into jail for political activities. Two years later the authorities of the Art School expelled him for in- citing the students to insurrection! Then he began flirting with the Dadaists, a school of painters who rejected all existing values in art and substituted chaos. As a small boy Dali had been terrified of all sorts of things. He began putting these !taunting im- ages on paper. To his titter delight —for he was poor at the tine—he found that people wanted to buy them!
