THE COL"BOR!VE CHRONICLE, Thursday, August 30th, 1962 BY DOROTHY BARKER Canadian Culture Cultivated I have always been led to believe that this thing called culture, which has become increasingly apparent across Canada in the last decade, was brought to our shores by the influx of immigrants from older countries in the world community; countries where theatre and art have been part of the ordinary individual'.' living pattern, not just egg-heac stuff for intellectuals. This thought was exploded by i new Canadian who said she is infuriated every time she hears her own countrymen or others who have become residents of our nation claim "Canada has no culture of its own". Elizabeth Ma-caulay is English; she is press representative for the Vancouver International Festival, and a n ardent booster for her adopted land it would be hard to find. She was quick to point out the beauty of our native culture, the art of the Haida Indians, the Eskimos, the weaving skills of the women of Quebec and the Maritimes, noted potters, artists, actors and musicians who, we both agreed, had to first find fame abroad before they, for the most part, were acclaimed by their people. Festivals Need Donations "No festival can support itself without donations. No individual could bring the type of performer, or production to the people that a festival does", remarked Miss Macaulay, in telling me something of the ups and downs of this artistic endeavour. Vancouver is noted as a hostess city, one to which many tourists are attracted. Tourists expect to spend money for transportation and entertainment; they like to anticipate something original, amusing and enlightening. In the beautiful mountain and sea setting, with its constant succession of bloom and parorama of s ery, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, now established home of the Festival, spreads its Auditorium ahd new playhouse, plus an attractive restaurant, over a square block in the heart of the city. Luncheon with Miss Macaulay in the restaurant and a personally conducted tour of the theatre and playhouse by Eric Perth, Theatre House Manager, were highlights of our stay in this coastal city for Ricky (my grandson, who accompanied me on my recent jaunt west) and me. Neither of us had ever been "behind scenes* of a professional theatre of such size, 2800 sitting capacity. Though we were both impressed with the hydraulics ;hat lower the orchestra pit, the fact that the stage is the second biggest in North America, and that the nine miles of cable, which operate the curtains and back-operated by one man, new smaller playhouse that had a .great appeal for us both. This addition has made it possible for the Festival to take , rather than be spread all over the city as in form-■ years. This year, there is a link with the Stratford Shakespearean Festival for its production of the Pirates of Penzance and Pinafore will be added features on the program. Another particularly interesting one -- a new venture -- is "Music at Six", planned for the pleasure of those employed in offices and stores. A friend of mine once remarked that he thought culture is often hard pill for some types to swallow. Surely not when it well sugar coated as it is by the numerous festivals being sponsored in various parts of Canada this AT MECKING'S DANCE HALL . . .

Good Suits for $42.95 Tailored for You Fred W. Hawkins but the fund should eliminate many of the wide discrepancies. The board will also develop a program to improve milk quality, to develop and expand markets through promotion, advertising and research, and to bring the whole dairy industry closer together. Funds to do this job will be aised in two ways: first, through licence fees to finance the administrative program, and second through levies to build the stabilization fund. We understand that licence fees to be paid by all milk shippers may range up to a maxi-of 1% of the value of all Furrow and F?llowj by Fairbairn The provisional milk marketini board formed hy the five produce groups in Ontario last winter has finally been able to formulate a marketing plan that has the support of all commodity groups, at least, the executives and advisory boards of these organizations. They have announced that they will divulge the details of this marketing plan to the press, radio and T.V. people and through them to the general public soon. Presumably, this will be followed by direct contact with all milk producers in the province since we understand every milk shipper will be directly involved in this marketing plan, either through licence fees or levies. Not all will pay both, but every milk producer will contribute to the administration of the plan. If Ontario's milk producers approve of this plan there will be producer board to handle all milk marketed in this province. The various commodity groups that have marketing boards price negotiating powers now will gradually be absorbed into the one board, according to what have been able to learn, except for the Ontario Cheese Producers Marketing Board. The latter is the only board currently handling the manufactured product, cheese, rather than the raw product, milk. So, while cheese milk shippers will come under the over-all plan, the Cheese Producers Marketing Board will continue to receive its 9/10th-a-cent levy per pound on all cheese sold so that it may carry on its stabilization job. This board been quite successful in buying cheese when there is a surph on the domestic market and selling it abroad in order to maintain prices in Canada at a realistic level. It will carry or much the same manner. This will also be one of the functions of any over-all board -- to dispose of surpluses that an currently upsetting the domestic market -- but its powers will probably be much broader. That is, if and when the plan is approved by producers and powers are delegated to the prodi board by the government under the Milk Industry Act. Generally speaking, the board will try to get the best possible price for producers through negotiations with distributors and processors and to set up a stabilization fund so that shippers of similar quality milk receive more or less similar turns. Of course, it won't be possible to assure exactly the price for all milk of one quality because of geographic and other milk marketed, while the levies may go as high as 3%. However, the plan allows for levies only on milk for the fluid trade and milk sold for manufacturing, i.e. concentrated milk products. It will not provide for levies on cheese milk shippers who will continue to contribute to their own marketing board as at present or on cream shippers. To-day's Tidbit: This will undoubtedly be the most important development in history for all milk producers, so all interested farmers will be well advised to watch and listen for details.
