Changes- for better or worse

Greetings, all you fine
people out there, The
monthly 38.B.C.-G.R.S.
GENERAL meeting held at
Super Thief's and Svper
Cookie’s 20 last Thursday
night brought about some
changes (for better or worse
tho’, yet remains to be
seen). Out own lovable

Toolie resigned as P.R. man .

and I was elected tocarry on
this column tho’ I did try to
decline but my pleas fell
upon 18 sets of ev

ears. (And who says C.B’ers
have gocdears?) So’O, with
the help?? of Little Mama,
who so generously elected to
help, we shall proceed to
carry on this weekly column
(news and publisher
permitting) and hope we
can do as good a job as
Toolie did in the past, I'm
quite certain Little Mama
will sit back and censor this

before it hits the paper,

while I do all the work. Jam
tart, Toolie...

A letter of appreciation
was read to the members by
Cricket, from Geronomo,
Fifi and family on behalf of
Uncle Sam, thanki our
club for their donation of
$300. Uncle Sam is still a
patient in a Vanc. hospital
and we're glad to say he’s
coming along, slow but sure.

It was great having a
landline OSO with him and
he passes all the good
number to everyone. ‘Ta
you, Uncle Sam, we all wish

you a speedy recovery, we:

miss you, so hurry home.

Four new members were
welcomed into our club,
those being Stoneface,
whoops, I mean
Rockcrusher and his xyl
Pebbles, and Big Dipper and
his xyl Little Dipper.
Welcome folks and glad to
have you on board,

With the coming up of the
Prince George Jamboree,
July 25 till Aug. 1 ali the talk

all of us, 10-4?

On the less serious side
now, seems we can look:
forward to the “‘new look’”’
among one of our members.
Wolverine has broke down
and gotten himself a hair:
cut. (and he asks why no-one
recognizes him now?? )

Applications are now
being processes for the.
newest club in town, this
being the B.K.B.S. (Borsch

Sidebanderski). Only
requirement to join is a
kubasca. Contact Super
Thief or Rockcrusher.

Overheard Toolie
apologizing to Super Cookie
for not siting on her organ,
not that it doesn’t sound as
good as his, only it’s much
smaller and this is what
comes from having too
many people and not enough
seating? ?

Papa and Mama Boots
arrived home from their
holidays with beautiful tans
only something went wrong
with Papa Boots. His chest
hair only bleached white.
What kind of a colony did
you say that was again,

Who's the lady that sat back
waiting for the net to come

that she was the one who

Unforgettable Emily, Carr

By HANSIBHAGWANANI

She died 32 years ago. But
she still lives.

The West Cosst Indians
called her Klee Wyck, “the
laughing one’’, but that’s not
all. She was also known as
‘Small’, © '*‘Dummy"’
“Motor”, “Carlight”, “ ud
mammy” and “‘Mom”

She was as good a painter
as a writer and as talented a
pot and rug maker as a
designer.

Yés, Emily Carr, 1971-
1945, the greatest Canadian
artist is y respec
honoured ‘and ired.
July ath, 1977, she recelved
added recognition: the
Emily Carr Gallery was
opened in Victoria.

This new home of ‘Miss

Carr is in the 106 year old
Rithet Building at 1117

Wharf Street. Though it has.

been transformed into ‘a
modern building, it still has
its quaint and charmin
look. -The magnificen
brickwork with archways
leading to the gallery
literally take you back to the
good old days of the 19th
century.

CanadaWorks is your federal job
creation program in British Columbia, and -
it’s reacly to help your community
organization or municipality serve your fel-
low citizens. But remember, the deadline

for application is August 26.

Miss Carr's beautiful
paintings, sketches, self-
portrai and family
photographs in big fine

ames are displaye with
copies of documents telling
you all you wanted to know
about this well-known
British Columbia artist.

It is interesting to note
that her father, Richard
Carr, had a provision and
commission business on the
same street where the new
gallery is located.

Emily was born in
Victoria in 1871. She studied

art in England from 1899-

1904 and France from
1910-1911. She opened a
studio and taught in

- Yaneouver until her return

to Victoria in 1913. Here she
lived for the rest of her life,

The sea, the rain forests,
the mountains, the totem
poles and the village
scenery overwhelmed her.

Not objects but impressions - $2
were her true subject

matters.
“Eecentric’ Carr, as she
was sometimes described,
wandered among the West
Coast Indians, painting on
canvas what she saw and

also recording her

impressions in words.

“The Laughing One” had ©

little enough to smile about.
Illness and lack of ‘public

response to her art had a
distinct effect upon her

’ work. For 15 years she ran a

rooming house and bred and

‘sold English dogs for a

living.

Fame took a long time in
coming, In 1927, Emily's
paintings were recognized
and proved valuable
through the exhibition of
Canadian West Coast Art

onsored by the National

liery. Fifty-seven of her
60 paintings that were
displayed were sold..

Being a .gifted writer,
Carr's first book, Klee Wyck

‘won the Governor General’s

Award in 1941,
atin as 1972, one of her
intings was sold to
ighest bid in an auction for
4,000,
The display of Klee
Wyck's workin the Emily
Carr Gallery is atribute to
this great artist. It has over

20 of her works - drawings,
sketches, watercolours and
oils. Her large self-portraits .

show the transformation of
Emily’s face through age.

The Gallery complements
the attractive Emily Carr
House on  Victoria’s
Government Street, where
the artist was born. The
house also displays some of
her: works.

Miss Carr died in 1945 and
50 people attended her
funeral. Her physician, Dr.
Baillie, remarked sadly on
that sorrowful day: “If
Victoria knew her value,
there would have been 5,000
people present teday.”’

Klee Wyck, ‘the iaughing

one", and Emily Carr, the

greatest Canadian . artist,
never died. She still smiles
and lives through her work,
in the hearts of* -her
countrymen.
