Its dire situation can no longer be stalled or covered up. Herve is one crisis which by itself eeains to demand an early session of Parliament. The fund stood at an all- {ime low of $19.5 million since May 31. Tt has climbed back sinee then, but at -the height of summer employment it “has reached only $25 million. If the austerity program brings “further unemployment, as some fear, “this amounts will soon dissipate. The government has provided an additional &2!, million as emergency backing. But even if there is no exceptional rise in unemployment, it’s reliably estimated the combined total will be gone by the vearsend. 0.000. This is the:state to which the fund, which stood at’ $925 million when the Diefénbaker. government came to power, has been brought in five years. Not until a year ago, when it had sunk to $110 million, did the government take fright and appoint a commission to find means of saving it. ‘The commission’s report is expect- ed Jate next month. It is predicted the main emphasis will be on restoring the fund to actuarial soundness. A number of bricfs presented to the commission have urged that the fund be relieved of the burden of seasonally unemployed workers and that there be stricter controls over chiselling. These recommendations, however, will take time to implement. The im- mediate problem of the fund can’t wait. Emergency measures are needed. The government will have to con- sider raising the present maximum salary and wage levels to bring more workers under the shield and, more important, to bring in more dues. So far, however, no one seems to have bothered to c:uleulate the scope and potenttal of such a move. Increased employer-employee con- tributions, and, or, reduced benefits, are unwelcome expedients the govern- ment may be forced to use. If these things happen, and if the taxpayer must ugain come heavily to the rescue, the country will be paying the penalty for the long indifference and ineptitude that has allowed the fund to fall so low.—Vancouver Sun.

A recent report on this page said there were now nearly GU million televisiun sets around the world. In the past year 11 million new ones ‘were added In wreas apart from the United States. That same report said these huge nets of communication, now to be linked on an instant elobal basis, were “a bottomless maw requiring miles of film... . At the moment the United States has the only sizeable backlog of TV ma- terial.” Just let events rule men, Jet this maw be filled by what is readily available, and it is enough to make anyune shudder at the damage to eager and impressionable minds that will result, Ask if we can do better and anyene is bound to answer: of course. Superb programs have been mude and filmed by commercial and edu- cational television alike. We have the choice — a preponderance of good programs or a prepon- derance of bad.

Mortimore Emily Carr wasn't the tough and irascible woman that some people think, says Flora Ham- ilton Burns, who was a close friend of the painter. “She didn’t suffer fools gladly. But to all with whom she felt something in common, she was a very charming per- son, “She couldn’t bear anyone superficial or hypocritical, If people were sincere, it didn’t matter if they were educated or uneducated. “She noticed that her Chin- ese vegetable man always used: to stop and look in the studio window. She asked him why. “picture, he said. ‘Very good picture.’ ” She invited him in to have a closer look. He came back again and brought a friend, to view the pictures that were highly regarded by ‘some im- portant people from = distant galleries but little understood in Victoria. Some Victoria people, catch- ing the scent of fashionable approval, were just then be-’ ginning to simper at Emily Carr's strange brooding can- vasses, wilh their dark swirls of forest green, Some were genuinely moved by them. Some didn't like them at all, and said so. Emily Carr got along all right with both kinds of people, Miss Burns says. But. those who only pretend- ed ta Hke and understand Emily Carr’s “new way of see- ing,” were in danger of heing badly snubbed, Flora Yamilton Burns and her sister Mrs. T, G, Kelr, have worked for months piecing to- pether the “World of Emily Corr’ display whieh can be seen al the Wudson’s Bay Ca, store In Vietorla until August 4, and In the Vancouver store August 8 to 17, } } + Th Js a behind the seenes” show that contains raw matee rhujs, said half-finished works —- sketehes for paintings, pha- tographs of Tndlan villages where family Carr painted; the hooked rugs and pottery which Miss Carr made, to bring dn n few dollars during the blank Th oyenrs when she stopped palntings her eartoans ino a paper “The Week.” Much of the show ly drawn from the collection owned by the late William Arnold New- combe. He and his father, Dr. Cc. F Newcombe, were friends of Emily Carr. After the Newcombe collec- tion of Indian tools, weapons, ritual objects and decorations, . and Emily Carr material, came into possession of the provin- cial archives, the Hudson's Bay Co. shrewdly offered to save the taxpayers money by cataloguing, restoring and mounting the Emily Carr ma- terial. ... With equal shrewdness, the government accepted. The cur- rent show is the result of this partnership between commerce and government. Miss Burns and Mrs. Keir did the cataloguing and the artis- tic detective work. By combing through Emily Carr’s books and journals, and poring over pho- tographs, they were able to assign a time and place to nearly every sketch and port- rait, +} + % Some material from private collectors was added to round out the story of Emily Carr. It shows her in a photograph, when she was a pretly young girl painting pretty vases of flowers, through Lhe time when she moved along wild shores to make a documentary record of the poles and houses of Indian villages; through the time of her studies in England, France and the United States (she studied for 12 years.) Two elements --- the lessons of Europe and Emily Carr's love for the forests and her friends, the Indians -- were fused together in the biter paintings -— which most Vie- tornjans did not understand --- the ones that caught the eye of the Chinese veretable man through the window. These were the strong, wild pletures, stripped of detail -- pure forest and pure native mystery, . Emily Carr prot so little for the pletures at one time that she supported herself and her cals and monkeys and pet crows by making hooked rugs and decorated vases Cbenutiful things in themselves.)

Ts ee BP Disputes leave cities ‘-. without papers: Apri: By THE CANADIAN PRESS: Union-management disputes in two US. cities have left some 700,000 readers without their accustomed newspaper fare for months. There are few signs that readers in the cities, Milwau- -kee and Minneapolis, will find things back to normal soon.- Minneapolis, a city ef about 540,000, has been without its two regular daily newspapers since April 12. Truck drivers of the Teamsters’ union started: a strike and mailers, typogra- nhers. and other unions ‘ob- served the picket lines, . American Newspeper Guild’s 350 editorial, advertis- ing and business department members went on strike against the Milwaukee Sentinel May 27. The Sentinel, only newspaper in the city of 750,- 000, missed publicaticn for. the first time in its 125-year his- tory. In both citics there have been meetings between the union and management repre- sentatives, but little headway lias been made. a + + Guild personnel walked out in Milwaukee following con- tract negotiations that became deadlocked over wages. The newspaper agreed to the straight demands but rejected some vacation and clher friige benefits unless they were paid for out of the demanded in- creases, The wage increases agreed upon were $3.25 to $5 a wéek for the first year of the con- tract and $3.25 to $4.75 for the second. Sentinel editorial em- ployees befere the strike started at $79.60 a week and advanced to $141.10 after: five years. meee The strike that closed Min- neapolis’ two regular news- papers, The Morning Tribune and The Evening Star, publish- ed by the same company, arose over changes in handling and shipping. ue The mailers’ union objecte tu new mailing room proce- dures, saying the changes would transfer mailers’ work to other personnel outside the plant. The newspaper said it would eliminate cumbersome processes. Without their regular news- papers, Minneapolis readers had a choice of out-of-town papers -- many of them going at scalpers’ prices ef from 35 to 75 vents -— and a new Mon- day-Friday daily started up in the wake of the strike.
