The newest and possibiy most broadly-based commer- cial art gallery in the Oshawa region opens its doors official- ly on November l4th with an exhibition of colour photo- graphs of Glacier Bay by Tom Main with complementary work by other Ontario artists. The Margot Samuel Gallery at 899 Nelson St., Oshawa will feature work by Canadian artists in ail media including sculpture, graphics, painting, photography and limited edit- ion prints. The Gallery is namied for its owner-proprietor, Margot Samuel, a long-time resident of the Town of Newcastle known for her involvement over a number of years in a variety of artistic endeav- ours; included among these are organizer and first Presi- dent of the Bowmanville Drama Workshop, as well as director-producer; board or executive member of the local Canadian Club, Great Pine Ridge Festival of the Arts, Oshawa and District Concert Association, Orono Youth Theatre and the annual Piyah Chapter of Hadassah- Wizo Art Auction in Oshawa. In 1970 she began associat- ion with the volunteer corn- mittee of The Robert Mc- Laughlin Gallery, Oshawa of development in Bowmanville. The owner, he said, was agreeable to the development and that the site was in back' of the Medical centre and was ideal for senior citizen dev- lopment. Dakin said that his organiz- ation must obtain building permits prior to the end of the year if the Town was to receive the $115,000 grant from the federal governmen t. This grant is being wiped out after this time, he said. Dakin said the site was nine acres and that the develop- ment only needed five at this time and he asked council to keep them out by landbanking which she is stili a member. As a volunteer she organized museumn tours to Boston and New York, acted as docent and in 1977 became chairman of Art Rental. In June she resigned this position in order to prepare for the opening of her Gallery. In 1975,Mrs. Samuel organ- ized two exhibitions under the auspices of The Robert McLaugh lin Gallery: War Art to commnemorate the Region of Durham in World War II and a retrospective exhibition of the work of Arthur Drum- mond. In 1976 she completed a credit course in Canadian Art History at Scarborough Col- lege to complement her B.A. (Art and Arch.) She is a contributor to Arts Magazine, having written feature art- icles on Razuo Nakamura, Dennis Burton, and Impres- sionism in Canada. Her extensive background and great personal enthus- iasm for, and enjoyment of, the broad spectrum of con- temporary art will consider- ahly enrich the artistic exp- eriences of visitors to her Gallery. The Margot Samnuel Gallery will be open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., other times by appointment.

ROLPH DOMINION HARDWARE the remaining four acres which no doubt the Order would use within a couple of years. When asked the price of the land nieither Dakin or, the owner could give a price and said this would be worked back after the cost of con- struction was settled. Both said that the unit cost had to be held at a certain level s0 that they were affordable for senior citizens. Planning directorý Chris Kristof said that if the land was severed it would landlock the four acres and that this was not desirable. He also asked that the planning department be given the go ahead to prepare the site plan agreement and to issue a b uilding permit by the end of the year. Coune. Allin asked what the Town's financial responsi- bility was in this proposai to which the Mayor said this was not known at this time and that' the, price would be worked back at a future date. Counc. Dykstra said he could not tie down the Town to landbanking when he did flot know the financial impli- cations. Approval in principal was given by council to the project and the planning department was giv en authority to pre- pare the site plan. Counc. Dykstra was assured that council would still have the opportunity to look at the financial implications before final approval was given. He said he did not want to see what happened in the past with the organization. when approval was given for a similar project and then, reversed. * s eseSeSee SSSSSSOSSSS*SSSSSSSS *05. e et :nua Bowm/? le "CrsmseihsU You eie ATeY No.et e* n' fere oSatn a eta co aten Anua Bowmanville :t1:0sa SSente Clous Paae.I noei neetdi utn B* ,e an ,'e naflaphn igse a thnee.Nst 6-52 M, Samuel gallery opens November 14 .............
