2201 thing Manager Second Mail Raglslered Number Praising Bateman We like to Robert for a moment and with a few words thank the Friends of the Library the library board and those who helped build and continue to forge programs at the cultural centre It was a coup to have the well known Canadian artist come to Georgetown to speak about his work for the mon th long showing of his paintings it the gallery on Church Street He was perfect host for the opening and his presence enabled the Friends of the Library a support group based on assisting the library a chance to raise fun More importantly the night proved that the cultural centre can attract interesting artists and their work to town The arrival of a Robert in town raises our profile in the eyes of other communities and our commitment to the arts in Halton Hills The work of Gallery House Sol owner John Sommer and publicist Wellstead was outstanding and contributed to the success of the opening The artist himself was friendly unpretentious all toowilling to share his experiences with others and quick to give advice on painting technique when asked Not many artists on their opening night will give a complete onehour tour of their exhibition then spend almost an equally long time signing autographs and messages of encouragement to welTwishers The Bateman exhibit is a rarity and we recommend you trace the early days of a unique artist Propaganda catchup The of the Soviet Union from the Olympic Games Los Angeles should not be seen as a surprise to anyone Playing a high stakes game of propaganda pushing both the United

office against such awesome odds The same question could also be applied to other unlikely winners but it seems more obvious with because apart from himself there appear to be anyone willing to offer him more than a prayer in the Liberal leadership race A recent newspaper poll of Liberal convention delegates in Alberta for instance indicated that not a single one would be voting for the jolly agriculture And Alberta Is farm country If you ask himself of course he will say he plans on winning but Ihen all candidates say that With all 3 delegates selected and This the time of year when the hST tf householder is invaded by doortodocr S J salesmen Alishouldbewary especial to People who come to your door to elect Eugene as prime mlnUt sell things may bo friendly helpfuland quite legitimate but there are some ta unscrupulous ones who employ all kinds of tricks to sell articles of poor delegate support so far could scarcely expect to yield clout In a Turner cabinet iflndeedheevcncould remain a minister But if he could only help his friend Jean Chretien win the leadership perhaps by leading a handful of delegates to the energy minister box during the convention he would certainly not damage his chances in a Chretien government The agriculture minister main tains there is no deal in the works but he doesn go out of his way to hide his dls ke for Turner and his admiration for Chretien I admire Jean Chretien for being a team fighter and staying there when it would have been easier for us all to resign He has said other similarly complementary things about the energy minister I am not suggesting there is any agreement between the two or that Wheian was even preoccupied with his own ministerial future but questions such as these must go through a candidate s mind
