The Tovonto Art Gallery, ever sensitive to the changing times has set aside this year one room for very early Onatrio Society Artists‘ work from early 180‘s on so that visitors might see for themselves the changes on the Canadian art scene. It is encouraging to note that Canadian art is beginning to find itself, to express itself, and inâ€" deed, make its voice heard throughâ€" out the world. The members of this particular| Club, maturing in their lpprecin-‘ tion of art and becoming more disâ€"| cerning each year, were very! mware of the changes that have taken place over the years in this! annual art exhibit. During the ten| years that this Club has visited! this exhibition, techniques have changed from traditional to modâ€"} ern, and in some instances to pure| abstract; young painters have; matured and widened their scope} and even the older favourites have taken on fresh approaches. j Miss Ruth Sims of the Galiery staff and Miss Francis Johnston of the Extension Department of the Gallery conducted the tours.

Dave helped the Indians to build a sawâ€"mill, a furniture factory and a farm equipment factory, self sufficient industries which were run and manned by Indians.

CHARTER NIGHT OF ROTARY CLUB OF VAUGHAN â€" This Dave spoke of the explosive population problems of India and the necessity of creating seven million new jobs every year. He showed how much foreign aid to India was being wasted by ignorâ€" ance of local situation, and that the sharing of technical "knowâ€" how" was more valuable than the provision of great sums of money. ‘This help should be motivated not by profit nor prestige but by lm‘ Dave began by speaking of the wideâ€"spread influence of Rotary in India and by pointing out that Rotary was a‘ meeting. place for Mohammedans, Hindus, Sikhs and ‘Christlans, At a recent Asian Roâ€" tary Conference there was an atâ€" tendance of over 3000 Rotarians. lothnr Technical expérts to return with him., A WEemir CLasaic two for its current national exhi bition in Montreal, Adding interest to the studie showing will be ceramic pieces by Dr. Schneider from which the Canadian Handicraft Guild chose the Madoc Art Centre for the past eight summers, teaching painting and ceramics.

Celebrates 86th Birthday L"h‘ull far younger than her years, Mrs. Peacock greeted more than thirty guests at an afternoon party so enjoyable it far into the evening. Mrs. Peacock was born almost thin sight and sound of Weston in 1876. Her father owned a farm in concession three, Etobicoke, and the family home was at Richview Corners. She has a sister and two rothers who have also enjoyed a long life; Mrs. William Dawson, ‘Walter Death and Arthur Death. Mrs. Peacock‘s favorite pastime }today is oil painting. "I‘m no artâ€" ist," she assured us when we visâ€" ited her recently, "just an enthusâ€" iastic amateur. I‘ve only been \using oils since I was 71." ~‘"I‘ve never taken a lesson," Mrs. Peacock added, "but I‘ve been drawing things since I was a little girl." She started by doing porâ€" traits on frosted windows with a hairpin and later used to amuse schoolmates with pictures of Sir John A. MacDonald on her slate. _ Mrs. Peacock‘s family were of(he English stock. Her paternal grandâ€"|Sh father was a Londoner and her| W maternal grandmother came from|me Yorkshire in 1851. Haw An appallingly high number of deaths among young children is due to accidents. Youngsters of from two to five find their way onto the street to meet death in traffic accidents, or to the edges of rivers or construction trenches filled with water where they may drown. A child of two or three should not be allowed alone or with other small children to leave his house or yard. Youngsters of that age are not capable of judging where it is safe to play or walk. ing ‘\ "That was by sailing vessel," she says, "and it took many weeks to complete such & journey in .. ~hild spends much of his time at play ~hich forms an important foundation "or his future life and character.
