The Canada Post Office will mark the 50th anniversary of the Group of Seven with the issue of a six-cent commemorative stamp on September 18, 1970. The design chosen for the stamp is a reproduction of the painting, "Isles of Spruce", by Arthur Lismer who was one of the founding members of the Group. The stamp will be a new size, measuring 30 mm X 36 mm, in order to retain the proportionate dimensions of the original painting. ' The stamp will be printed by five-colour lithography using the colours yellow, red, blue, black and a special shade of green. Thirty-six million of the stamps will be printed by Ashton-Potter Limited of Toronto making this the first commemorative issue to be produced by a printing firm outside of Ottawa.

The chief characteristic of the Group's work was stated by Arthur Lismer in 1924; "It is design. We bring out everything in the landscape as a matter of design and also, of course, of colour. We have got away from French Impressionism." In addition to Lismer, the original members of the Group of Seven were Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, F.H. Varley, J. B.H. MacDonald Frank Johnston and , Franklin Carmichael. Five of these artists were survivors of an earlier group known as the "Algonquin School" of which Tom Thompson had been a member until his death in 1917.

The Council on Drug Abuse (CODA) is lannehing its public information program this week by equipping more than 600 pharmacies across Ontario as Drug Information Centres. Frank C, Buckley, CODA president said, "the public will be able to pick up free pamphlets from display racks on drugs most commonly abused. "Initially, our literature campaign will be centred in drug stores and drug departments of department stores, Later the pamphlets will be given national distribution. The first group of pamphlets- to be distributed cover Stimulants, Solvents, Narcotics and a Drug Reference Chart. There are eight different pamphlets in all with Depressants Drugs and the Law, Hallucinogens and Drug Abuse — A Guide For Parents, to be distributed shortly. We feel that Pharmacists, because of their knowledge of drugs, are a key group to help inaugurate our drug information campaign," Mr. Buckley said. "A comprehensive promotional campaign will support the pamphlet program", Mr. Buckley said "including TV, radio, transit cards, outdoor billboards; newspaper and magazine advertisements and hang-up posters." Additional display material including "Do You Know What You're Doing?" buttons, window banners and easel cards is being made available to pharmacists enrolled in the program. "Drug Abuse is a growing social phenomenon affecting all levels in the community. The drug scene is surrounded by rumours and half truths. Basic factual information is desperately needed. If we can make people more knowledgeable about drugs and their abuse, then intelligent dialogue can follow", Mr. Buckley said. Using the theme, "Do You Know What You're Doing?", the CODA information program presents known facts without preaching or moralizing. CODA pamphlet racks will be equipped with special decals showing telephone numbers for emergency medical .assistance and further information, Mr. Buckley noted. Rounding out an active summer agenda, CODA will present two projects of far-reaching significance: The international Symposium on Drug Abuse at the Ontario Science Centre, Aug. 17 - 19 and the pavilion "Man and His Drugs , in the Queen Elizabeth building during the Canadian.
