He noted recently that the sigovernment had included an item of $352,000 in its interim supply estimates for the pur- chase of a Rembrandt portrait for the Gallery. While it had been suggested that the Senate might discuss the purchases by " I have been interested in g\collecting art for a good many years, but I would not like to hear a discussion in open com- mittee as to the justification s\for the purchase of abstract art. I say merely that I do not understand it, but I have to ac- cept the judgment of. people who are much more knowledge- able than I that there is some- thing in it," Senator Grosart said. He said it reminded him of Art Treasure Cost Debated linquents who were being chased by the police. They took shelter in a museum of modern art and looked around at the abstract paintings on the walls. One said to the other: "We had better get the heck out of here or we will be blamed for this, too." Senator Grosart said this might well be the reaction of some senators if the Senate was given a demonstration of some of the abstract art that was being purchased by the Na- tional Gallery. "I hasten to say that I take no stand on the matter. I do not understand it, but I pre- sume that those who do know what they are doing," the Pick- ering Senator said. It later became apparent that the Senate was not sure if the $352,000 figure represented the full purchase price of the Rem- brandt, or was an initial pay- ment. It was agreed that the matter would be looked into more fully by the Senate Fi- nance committee when it meets the story of two juvenile de- in Ottawa next week. Dr. J. G.

The debate, sponsored by the Temperance Society of Oshawa, was held in "Sons Hall" with civic and pro- vincial dignitaries participating. His belittling remarks were soon answered by one of 'the town's lawyers he attempted to make jest of. "The Veritas" said: "But audience appreciate Genius and gifts in a debate And solid sense and argument, And wit and humor wisely spent. minus And nothing racy did they give us Nothing concise, nothing pro- found But well - worn abound.'"

The slighted lawyer was quick 'o reply -- insultingly. "You ought to be a judge, Though those engaged might laugh at me, And tell me this is fudge; If drinking wine is wicked, And drinking beer a sin, He ought to know the right and wrong Who has the stuff within.
