“CANADIAN PATTERNS”
Display In Art Gallery
Objects and pictures representative of all important aspects of Canadian life make up the “Canadian Patterns” display which was opened yesterday at the Canterbury Arts Society’s gallery in Gloucester Street by Mr R. M. Robinson, the acting Canadian High Commissioner. Among them is an electric “snow thrower” about the size of a motor-mower, used for clearing snow from domestic paths. Also for the snow is a two-man motorised sledge called a "ski-doo,” and winter sports are represented by an ice hockey stick and shinpads, snow-shoes and a curl-ing-stone and broom. The display includes a stop sign in French and English, collections of minerals, coins and stamps, Indian and Eskimo handcrafts, a handtooled saddle, and pottery, sculpture and weaving. The National Film Board of Canada has provided a large collection of colour prints, and a feature of the exhibition is a miniature theatre with two screens, showing colour slides of Canada. The display will be open until September 13.
