CALENDARS IN CENTENNIAL YEAR
Sir,—With the exception, for instance, of some enterprising typewriter dealers, the majority of trades each year send out calendars that are a monotonous repetition of desert, woodland, and autumn scenes in the Victorian manner, along with the favoured cats, dogs, and norses. May it be suggested that a special effort be made for the Centenary, and use be made of reproductions of paintings and illustrations of Canterbury and its history by local contemporary artists. If England and America, and possibly other countries, can make use of the work of their contemporary painters in this way, why cannot New Zealand? —Yours, etc., xj , UP-TO-DATE. March 4, 1950.
