that quite sone time ago I start-
ed that words have no meaning
but rather we have meanings
for words. Fortunately in 'the
great majority of cases the
meaning that 'a great many of
us have for a 'great many words
is almost identical, It is the
much smaller number of words
for which our meanisnsgts ere
different, perhaps vastly differ-
ent, ,that creates our quarrels.
Let me give you an example:
John and Mary are out driving
one fine summer evening. Sud-
denly Mary exclaims, "John,
you :are going too fart" What
did Mary mean by her words?
Just a moment! Before you
answer, consider whether or not
your ,answer will tell me more
about you than it will tell me
about either John or Mary.
If you think this over for a
few minutes you will get some
idea of the difficulties of ex-
pression that confront all pub -

EY DOROTHY BARKER
Give Them Tickets
Alan Jarvis, director of the
Canadian Conference of the
Arts, suggested recently that
all artists, related to all facets
of cultural endeavor, should be
given railway tickets by the
Canada Council so that they
might communicate with each
other.
Justifying the recent highly
successful Conference in Tor-
onto and his comment about
railway transportation, Mr.
Jarvis wrote: "First of all, geo-
graphy. Because of our peculiar
geography — a thin strip of
people spread across 4,000
miles — far too many of us in
Canada live in isolation, a sit-
uation which is especially det-
rimental to artists who, despite
popular notions to the contrary,
do not like to live in ivory
mowers but, rather, need the
stimulation of contact with oth-
er abtists.
"I said long before it was
set up, and have said it many
times since, that the Canada
Council would be well worth
while if it did nothing more
than issue railway tickets so
that creative Canadians could
communicate with each other."
There were many of our in-
tellectuals from all parts of
Canada, who traveled to Tor-
onto for this stimulating Con-
ference. With no claim to be-
ing "intellectual", but immens-
ely interested in "the arts", I
was exposed to :a series of
mental calisthenics during
part of the three-day Confer-
ence. If my brain is a bit lame
from over-exertion, nay hunger
for things cultural is well sat-
isfied, The Conference was a
revelation to me for I have
been the centre of many an
argument intended to take the
measurement of Canadian cul-
ture and taste. The Conference
did just that and though I
d'ar't notice that my hair is
any longer than it was previous
to this interesting event my
estimate of native talent has
been considerably increased.
Not Just Artistic
To me the Conference had
a greater impact than merely
an artistic one. Sir Julian Hux-
ley, eminent British biologist,
during an evening session ap-
propriately called "a meeting of
minds", bruised democracy by
describing our society as ":an
affluent rat -,race in an anemic
welfare state." He was support-
ed in his criticism by Professor
William Kilbourn and Rene
Levesque, Quebec's Minister of

Professor Kilbourm was even
more critical. He commented
with well timed bluntness that
Canadians, in his opinion, are
"tin -eared, brass -eyed people
with the ugliest landscapes and
townscapes in the world". He
urged that art minded individ-
uals get out and "fight the
Yahoos".
"A Yahoo", Mr, Kilbourn ex-
plained to a reporter, "is any-
body who thinks our towns look
nice the way they are, any-
one with vision so blighted they
accept billboard advertising, a
sea of cars parked in a lot, a
forest of wires overhead and
builders who have built our
post 1945 slum. suburbs".
Rene Levesque claimed we
only "get the Yahoos we allow
to grow". He told of Quebec's
'new governmental d'epax'taire
into the field of arts, Recently
elected, with only ten months
of performance to boast about,
this group of Canadian enthus-
iasts has created a department
for promoting culture. It has
instituted the first demand by
law in this country, for a per-
centage of construction cost in
the province to be set aside by
contractors for artistic and
beautification purposes.
Gratien Gelirtas, author -actor -
director, when badgered later
by Gordon Sinclair and Pierre
Berton, Canadian columnists,
for his opinion of statements
made by these knowledgeable
personages, said he would have
to agree with them. "Drive
through any rapidly developing
Canadians city, or town, and the
conditions are the same". With
his famous histrionic gestures
and wit he concluded in 'a cul-
tured French-Canadian accent,
"Except in Quebec".
Fight Ugliness
There isn't space enough to
write about the campaign these
thinking men outlined for rtihe
improvement of our native
stapes. Briefly they included
an anti -ugly campaign, proper
design for city furnishings,
u tdlity wires underground, an
educational system that would
make youth aware of art, smal-
ler cities and space to walk
about, not just to ride arouna
in cars and aboard a subway;
a campaign urging religious
authorities to promote good art
in the churches and make peo-
ple
eaple moire aware of art through
public sculpture and murals,
While I listened I was re-
mindecl of public protests over
the arrestingly original wire
sculpture in front of the Ed-
monton municipal buildings and
the furor created last year
when a selection of pictures
was to be made for the city of
Hamiltons. Our artistic apprecia-
tion as a nation is, I am afraid,
still in short pants. Collectiv-
ely we only exert our accept-
ance of the obvious, the art
that communicates on sight and
gives us little or no effort to
understand!.
Which brings me to my final
comment about the Canadian
Conference of the Arts. Ori view
in the lobby of the O'iieefe
Centre, where it was held, were
a number of pictures and sculp-
ture created by those who
have benefited by ,tm award
front. the Canada Council. Most
of the pictures were abstracts,
far out and for the most pant
I must admit, beyond arty com-
pr'ehension. They seemed to
reflect moan's effort to orient
himself in a disturbed world.
They were, nevertheless, crea-
tive endeavor which will ever

be worthy of support.
Perhaps I was a little more
impressed by the exhibition of
books by Canadian authors.
Their industry and imagination
was exciting and I felt chagrin-
ed that I had read so few of
the books on display.
There were a few long hairs,
or should we call them intel-
lectual snobs, who claimed the
Conference had (achieved no
purpose whatsoever. Surely
there is no fear of our becom-
ing satiated with culture. For
boo long we have been branded
a country without this old
world stature. The birth of an
endeavor to promote art ap-
preciation, more beautiful
towns and cities, art education
of the youth of our nation,
should be commended for the
effort.
