We managed to show all of the slides the members brought, and just within the time available to us. We saw some very inte- resting interpretations of our theme, "Canvas", proving that our members are up for any challenge we can throw at them. We extend sincere thanks to the large crowd that attended, and to all who brought slides to show. We remind the members that we always are open to suggestions for future meetings. Please let us know if you have an idea, or if you would like to present a programme. In the New Member Department, we apologize sincerely for the mis-spelling in the January issue of the name of new member C. E . Pursey, of Cobourg, Ontario. A glitch in internal communications led to the unfortunate error. * * * * * * * Executive C o m m ittee Jay N . Bascom R. F. B e a u p re D av id Bull Roger C h a p m a n L orne Joyce C apt. J.
