MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Pal Strid hmm Sao back of Lindsay. Notes ®, Fantasy From time to time in these editorials we have attacked what we have long felt to be phoney art. Cubism, non-represen- tational art, abstractionism, all these may have a valid theory 'and unquestionably such theory has given rise to schools of art. Seldom have they succeeded in pro- ducing creative artists with something valid to tell the world either about beauty or truth. But they have succeeded in selling the gullible public who was afraid to be ignorant about what they couldn't understand, Now, there has just been exposed one of the many great hoaxes perpetrated on the public through the medium of modern art. It's the story of Jusup Torres, the great cubist painter, For the past fifty-six years his paintings and exhibitions have been accepted by galleries and sought af- ter by collectors. Books have been writ- ten about his life and career. ' There never was any such. painter. His paintings were deliberately <contrived daubs by an art critic named/Aub. ~ The whole thing has been:a hilarious satire on the whole of art schélarship and the gullible art public. It is:a satire too on art promotion--the people will accept anything if it is presented as.real art. It is a satire on:art critiesm. "Those who are supposed to be experts arezoften as easily. fooled:and bamboozled -asithe most ignorant picture. gazers, particularly when they think they have:the:support:of other art critics, 'It is assatire too:on artists and Comments who almost invariably pretend to a know- ledge and an understanding which they do not have. Soon the public will learn that much of art is not to be taken seriously. Some- time they will learn that art curators and art critics know less than they profess to know. Sometime they will learn to ap- preciate what speaks to them in the uni- versal language of emotion and beauty. Art roughly falls into three divisions: 1. Commercial, whose prime function is to sell something be it beer or bra. 2. The Avant-garde, all modern art, most of which is experimental trash trying to say it knows not what in a way it knows not how. This is the phoney and the hilarious in art. Ap- preciate it for what it is. 3. Serious art, but the adjective belies ~ its nature. This is art which springs from the creative impulse of the ar- tists who seeks to express in the full- est terms of his craftsmanship what- ever is deeply felt and clearly seen. It is the truth of reality in so far as his genius permits him to grasp it. The measure of success is in your own subjective and completely honest acceptance or rejection of what he has to say. Regardless of art promotion and art propaganda and art critics, you are the artist's real subject. Don't take art sec- ond hand from those who are supposed to know it first hand, especially if they have climbed on the clown's merry go round of modern art, Mr. Thornback, 86, died in hospital after he was hit by a car driven by Mr. Munro on Highway 7, about three miles west of here. Peter Fish, also of Blackwater, a that Mr. Thornback was walking a- long the side of the highway and then "ran full flight into the Munro car." STOUFFVILLE DENTIST DRILLS TO MUSIC You can lose your worries and your teeth all in one soothing operation in the office of local dentist, Dr. Wm. Murphy, Main St. W. At a patient's request, taped stereo music is provided through earphones and the person, adult or child, simply relaxes in complete comfort. The new scientific development has proven itself successful, especially with children. The dentist has a portable micro- phone at his command which enables him to speak to his patient-above the sound of the music if he so desires. $260,000 ADDITION TO STOUFFVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Stouffville Council has given its approval to a $260,000 addition for the High School. The extention to the present structure will accommo- date 160 students. A 50% govern- ment grant will be received on an un- confirmed $200,000 leaving an estim- ated $160,000 to be borne by Stouff- ville, Markham Twp. and Whitchurch Twp. Stouffyille's share of this figure will be approximately 429%; Whit- church - 39% and Markham - 199. The debenture issue will be handled through the County. Mr. A. G.

An officer of the Bancroft detatchment, Ontario Provincial Police said McVey was pierced by a bullet from a rifle used by ex-mayor of Whitby, Harry W. Jermyn, 59. Police said McVey was bringing the dogs through the bush when the shot was fired. The wonded man was car- ried by improvised stretcher to the campsite where first aid was given by a Sault St. Marie doctor who was one of the seven-man hunting party. "Treatment of the gunshot wound was hindered at this time by lack of medical equipment," said Bancroft police. The officer said he believes the doctor's name to be Hackett. McVey was taken on a two-wheel trailer pulled by tractor to the road and a waiting ambulance. He was rushed 65 miles to the Peterborough Civic Hospital where he is described as In "satisfactory" condition, sommes) (remern Thursday, November 15th, 1962 This program aims at striking at smarter? pollution where it must be met, that is on the municipal level. allocation of Federal loans for the construction of sewage disposal plants along the bank of major waterways. Last week, in the House of Com- | mons, the Minister of Public Works | reported to Parliament on the pro- | gress of the program to date. He announced that the Federal Government had extended the cutoff date for the forgiveness of a portion of Federal loans to municipalities | under the National Housing Act for the construction of sewage treatment projects, The National Housing Act was a- mended in December, 1960, to enable Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration to make long-term low in- terest loans to assist municipalities in financing the cost of these pro- jects. The loan is up to two-thirds of the cost and as a special incentive the Government is authorized to forgive payment of 25 percent of the amount of the loan committed and 25 percent of the interest paid or accrued due thereon in respect of all work com- pleted up to March 31, 1963. It will be recalled that this is the Report From Parliament By Michael Starr, M.P. Minister of Labour A great deal more attention is now being paid to pollution of water re-| sources. It is a situation which has been with us for many years but has now assumed the proportions of a same cutoff date as for the Vocational Training School building program. The Minister of Public Works ex. plained that the purpose of the legis. lation was to launch a program con- stituting a first real, co-ordinated at- tack on the three problems of conser- vation of water, prevention of pollu- tion and assistance to municipalities | in providing services essential to the maintenance and expansion of muni- near-crisis in North America. President Kennedy has called pollu- tion of water resources in the United cipal growth, The Minister went on to say that between December, 1960 and October The program procecds through the | [ belicve the answer is yes. They know much more. They should, be- cause hundreds of private broadcast- ing stations supply daily bulletins of farm information, and the networks do a magnificent job of farm broad- casting. Most of our top dailies have well-informed farm editors, and the weekly papers in rural areas give generous space to important farm news, Excellent farm magazines give detailed farm facts. Perhaps even more important is the vast amount of research being done for the benefit of agriculture. The universities are doing a magnificent job. Private companies engaged in canning and processing spend for- tunes on research that will result in better quality crops. Federal and local governments do their share. But in the main, the credit must go to the farmers and their families. They put the information to good use. They buy the machinery and keep it operating. They know they will pros- per only if they keep up to date, suf- fer if they fall behind. Take away the well-motivated, independent far- mer and replace him with a mere ser- vant of the state and most of this wonderful research and know-how would be wasted. Today the news wires are telling of the dwindling farm population. Farms are getting bigger. Fewer farmers are producing more food. We may. re- gret the loss of farm population, but we must admire the productivity of those who remain on the land. They offer an example that city folks ought to try to emulate. Cedar Creek Those attending the National Baton Political Pot Boils The Socreds are finding their:feet and beginning to make their demands. After a confused start in which they seem scar- cely to know what they were doing the Thompson-Caouette slam-bangers are be- ginning to throw their weight around. They have infuriated the Liberals whose frustration is as full of fury as it is of futility. Without the support of the Soc- reds the Conservatives are dead ducks. An amusing cartoon-shows Diefenbaker clinging to the top of the Memorial Tower chained to a Socred member loaded down with demands who'says meet them or I'll jump. Well, you can be sure that the Socreds are getting ready to:;jump. Not imme- diately but soon. First, they must exploit their present position to.the.full. This they are now doing passably well. There is a growing discipline within the undisciplined body of confused individuals that is really quite amazing, "The!thing that holds them together:is the thought that if they break-up the government be- fore the party is ready theyll probably go to pieces. They may.ido.that anyway. But is is a certainty if they defeat the too many mistakes. The closest call came with their fence-sitting during the Cuban crisis. Fortunately, Khrushchev got them off the hook. There are still plenty of them left upon which they could hang the entire party and any chances of winning the next election, The Liberals on their performance could- n't do better than achieve another stale- mate. It all adds up to the fact that for the time being the best interests of all includ- ing-the Liberals is for the Conservatives to stay in power, By next spring, the Socreds will be veterans of the parliamentary infighting and cocky enough to risk the overthrow of the government. The only thing that could change this would be an upsurge of prosperity. This would put the Conser- vatives in the drivers seat with no ques- tions asked. This is a gamble that the Socreds seem willing to take. At that they may not be too far wrong.
