while I was there, I fairly felt
the radiant glow of the sun's rays
on the side of the building,
Canada's interpreters in oils, a-
mong them Varley, Thompson,
Jackson, Kreighoff, Carr, Milne,
are as individual in their handling
of their inspirations, as the art-
ists themselves, Yet they have
captured with their paints on a
flat canvas surface, the very spir-
it of this nation from the Rockies
to a French Canadian village
scene.
If we often wonder why for-
tunes are spent on acquiring such
works of art, we should stop for
a moment and assess our heritage.
We have been called a nation
without culture, too young to have
acquired an artistic individuality
or background. The National Gal-
lery's Canadian collection certain-
ly belies this, for it compares fav-
orably with those paintings by the
Europeans' old and new masters,
owned by the gallery,
There has been a great deal of
publicity during the past several
months given to the uproar over
the proposed purchase of a Brueg-
hel and a Monaco to the tune of
$445,000. The story is old hat
now, but it certainly stirred up a
mare's nest in the capital city.
Our Prime Minister, John. Diefen-
baker, stood his ground right in
the middle of the argument. He
maintained that it was no time to
be spending that kind of the tax-
payers' money on two paintings,
Alan Jarvis—the former director
—was just as adamant that such
bargains are few and far between
on the art markets of the world
today.
As a tourist at large, but never-
theless a Canadian citizen, I feel
Mr. Diefenbaker was right. For
one thing the people of Canada
must pay for the new six-million-
dollar gallery now under construc-
tion in downtown Ottawa. After
my visit to the old gallery some
few weeks ago, I thoroughly agree
with this expenditure, The pre-
sent building has a mid-Victorian,
down - at - the - heels atmosphere,
which is anything but attractive
as a setting for the paintings now
on view, For another thing Ot-
tawa in its remodelling plans has
a vision of becoming Canada's
show window. It seems like a
much more sound investment to
me for public funds to be used to
erect a suitable building first and
collect additions to its contents
later.
It is unduobtedly true that it
is becoming increasingly difficult
to purchase rare paintings in
competition with millionaires ac-
quiring their own collections, or
by bidding at auctions against old-
er and richer art museums. This
is a gamble Canada will have to
take.
After spending two hours in
happy contemplation to the exhi-
bition on loan by citizens of Ot-
tawa, I was almost resolved to
throw away my paints when I re-
turned home by train that night.
But no, there can never be a sen-
sation quite as satisfying as the
thrill of creating, no matter how
amateur one's efforts may ap-
pear to the connoisseur.

Being a dabbler in oils, or what
is sometimes called a weekend
painter, I never miss an opportun-
ity to visit an art 'gallery. It is
a form of sweet torture I inflict
on myself in case I might ever
become conceited enough to think
I have pro'duced a work of art.
Only those who have experienc-
ed the excitement of watching
their brush mould a faint likeness
to their subject, will understand
the thrill I felt recently when
viewing the collection of paint-
ings by Canadian artists in the
National Art Gallery at Ottawa.
To the 'uninitiated, the mountains
in a Lawren Harris landscape
might look like igloos, he has
such a severe bold handling. But

A new educational slogan, sug-
gested [by an official of Huron
unit, has been adopted by Ontario
division of the Canadian Cancer
Society, it was revealed at the an-
nual county unit meeting in Clin-
ton, September 25.
Attractive new placards with
the theme, "LIVE without fear of
cancer through diagnosis"
were displayed by Dr. J. Semple,
Seaforth, chairman of the unit ed-
ucational committee and origin-ator of the slogan,
"We have put too much em-
phasis in the past on the negative
side of cancer. Our new approach
is a positive one, assuring people
that cancer can be cured if it is
discovered early enough.", The
signs stress that regular medical
check-ups are the most effective
type of prevention.
The new placards will be plac-
ed on display by the various, bran-
ches in the unit.
Seventy-six cancer sufferers in
Huron were assisted by welfare
services of the unit in 1959, re-
ported Service chairman Mrs. C.

lieving drugs, house-keeping and

port from Treasurer Mrs. A. M.
Harper, Goderich. Other costs in-
cluded education, $665; campaign
expenses, $660; overhead, $295.
Remainder of the $17,750 raised

tion and interest" in exceeding its
1959 quota, was presented to the
unit by provincial headquarters,

eter, the unit raised over $16,000
in its April campaign which had
