Support the Rotary Club Easter Seal Campaign ike Steps night, the councillors moved to "seek approval" for the $400,000 requested by the restoration society. The only dissenting vote came from Jim Tracy, who does not oppose the grant, but feels that the motion should spe- cifically state that a plebiscite be called on the issue. Acting Mayor Ed Haynes pointed out that the council bad no authority to grant the $400,000, but could apply for approvai from the Ontario Municipal Board or through a plebiscite. Haynes said that the motion was only an indication to the public that the council intend- ed to act, either by plebiscite or by application to the O.M.B. He said councîl had to m ake someadecision so that the restoration work would not be "left dangling". Tracy still declined to ap- prove the motion because of its wording. Councillor Dave Purvis re- acted hotly to the lien. He was appalled by the "unbusiness- like" operation of the restora- tion society. He said that the method of restoring the build~ ing on a cost and material basis, instead ofabymtender, was "ludicrous". Councillor Mac Lees pointed out that because of the nature of the work, tenderinghwas not initially possible. The first stage of restoration involves taking things apart to deter- mine what work is required. Some of the jobs could be tendered now that the building is strucfurally sound. Mr. Purvis said the town could not afford to have the multi-millionodollar project sitting for another year, and he would approve the inclu- sion of the $400,000 grant in the council's f ive year plan, which is to be submiffed this month. "We, as a municipality, have to take a stand and get the project started again", Mr. Purvis said. Heaadded that the $400,000 might not even be needed, stating that he knew of many people who planned to contribute money to the restoration as long as they were certain that plans would go ahead.

A research analyst from the Ministry of Housing, the Ontario Government's hous- ing agency, will estimate tbe number of senior citizens living in the Town of New- castle whose housing is inade- quate or beyond their finan- cial capabilities. The dmand in the area for housing on a rent-geared to- income basis will be deter- mined from information gatbered through advertising, direct mail questionnaires and interviews. The study, which begins April 1, 1975, was requested by the Council of the Town of Newcastle. It will include an assess- ment of cconomic trends, growth factors and current and future housing needs hi the municipality. Senior Citizens in the Town of Newcastle will receive letters outlining the Govern- ment's housing program and asking them if they wish to participate. Some interested persons may not be reacbed by direct mail. The Ministry of Housing urges them to obtain a questionnarie from the mun- icipal offices. If tbe survey shows a need for senior citizens' housing, it will likely be an apartment building, although consider- ation is given to one-storcy units whichdotnot -require stairways. All apartments have a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, and are equipped with stove and refridgerator. Rent is geared to income and the minimum is $37. a month, including ser- vices. Af tr considering the survey report, Council can initiate the program it outlines by adopt- ing a resolution requesting the Ministry of Housing to go ahead Capital costs are shared by the Provincial and Federal Governments. Housing on a rent-geared-to- income basis is part of the Ministry of Housing Home Owncrship Made Easy (H. O.M.E.) Program. Those re- ceiving questionnaries are asked to return them as soon as possible to assist the survcy.

The painter, William Blair Bruce, was born in Hamilton in 1859, studied at the Hamil- ton Art School and the Academie Julien in Paris, married a Swedish sculptress and founded an artist's colony on Sweden's island of Gotland whcre he died at 47. éu The exhibition bas been organized by The Robert McLaughlin Gallery's direct- or, Joan Murray. Her interest in Bruce's work rekindled while doing research for her 'Impressionism in Canada" show seen by more thar 175,000 people during ifs recently completed year-long Canadian tour. Then, on vacation in Sweden last year, she completed arrangements there for the loan of more than half the paintings appearing in the exhibition. They were flown to this country where they have never been shown before. The remaining paint- ings in the Bruce show come from the National Gallery of Canada, the Hamilton Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Visitors to the exhibition will be delighted to find one of Bruce's best loved and best known works, the famous "Phantom Hunter", insp ired by early Canadian folklore and reproduced in many Canadian school books. Bruce was considered a part of the Swedisb community of artists and became a close triend of Sweden's royal famiiy. Although he returned to Canada for oniv tvwo brief visits after going to Sweden, be always thought of himself as a Canadian, associated himself wit Canadian art and welcomed the vîsits of young- er Canadian artists such as Maurice Cullen and Robert H. Robinson who travelled to Sweden to seek his advice and study his work. A friend of some of the Impressionists and one who always sought to describe a perfect vision of light that one Canadian's ast Century iawa Gallery may never tire of gazing at', Bruce's work nonetheless shows the impact of Impress- ionism in only a tentative way through various details of composition and brushwork. On his first return to Canada he lost 200 of his paintings in a shipwreck. During his second return be did many paintings on Indian reservations. After its Oshawa showing, the Bruce exhibition, under McLaughlin Gallery auspices, travels to the Art Gallery of Hamilton, June 5 - 29, 1975; Agnes Etherington Art Cen- tre, July 8 August 12, 1975; Memorial Gallery, St. John's, August 29 .

Amputees Canada bas about 2,300 living war amputees. What is not very well known is that there are almost ten times as many civilian amputees- some 22,000 in all. Unlike other disabled or handicappeo groupa dinCan- ada, the civilian amputees have no central organization of their own. Those injured in industrial accidents may be assisted through Workmen's Compensation or accident in- surance. Many, but by no means all, auto accident victims who lose a leg or arm are helped by insurance. But many thousands of other non-wxar amputees bave to make do on their own. A surprising number of these amputees are children Tbrough their civilian lia- ison program, the War Ampu- tations of Canada seck ouf and help civilian amputees.
