I* Whcn Mr. Berry inter sent ta bim k for a tray for bis daughter-in-law, he didn't enclose the moncy with Uic order. The tray arrived before Cthe moncy bad been sent. This L.may be duc partly ta the acquain- stance Mr. Berry has made with Uich artist. He recalis entering the home cf the maker last summer. tHe first met Uic man's teen-age daughters, wbo assist their father ini design and inlay. Tbey called their father who was belping a ncighbor erect bis bouse. Mr. Berry inserted there Uiat artistic talent is nat exclus- ivcly endowed on the members of aur society favored with po- sition and maney. The artist was delighted ta receive recognition of bis work, tpecially since Mr. Bcrry told him tbat be bad been interested enougb to corne ahl the way from Bowmanville. He ex- plained that be made more than trays. Hie coffee tables were con- structed according ta geometric designs. He said that be had seen similar works produced by artists in South America, Varied Inlay Work To a degrce the scenes whethcr on trays or coffec tables follow somewhat the same pattern. But the inlay work is the varied part. Altbough moet coffee tables pro- duced are of the aforementioned geomctric design, Mr. Berry was sent anc with a landecape. That is the masterpiece of the collec- tien naw on display. One of the rcmarkable qualities in the composition of the pictures is that ail color contraste are -ro Fadl i~auk, whicn gives the impression of clapboard. In the foregraund the grass surrounding the cabin le shown te grow in clumpe by the peculiar formations wbich natui-ally occur in the Lace wood cf India.

The reflections in the watcr, made of the same woods as those used ta produce the actual forme, are as real as if thcy were photo- graphed. You, have probably otten seen the raye et the sun pcnetrating the water as yau sat in a boat on corne clear lake in summer. In the picture on the coffec table these bent raye are rcpresented by the slazited grain cf Curly Maple.

A detailed description. of the effcct of tic inlays will be cf in- tercat te artist and craftman alike. The coffec tabkj"icture is a mountain landscapc, showing a cabin ner- a lake rimmcd wlth rocks. In the f ar foreground are >the foothiils. The mountains are snowcappcd and framcd by ever- green forests. Tînusual. Effects of Curiy Mapie The sky and water arc repre- sented by Curly Maple. Cut at one level in Uic wood Curly Maple is made te look like a -buttermilk sky. At a level flot one- eighth cf an inch deeper it is made ta look like Uic approach cf 'fiat and somber storm clouds, arriving i layers, with each suc- ceeding layer becominig darkcr as would be the case in an actual storm. The individual trees and thick fareste are made tram Brazilian Rose Wood, cut at dit- ferent angles te give unusual pat- terns. Long, "straight lies inlaid verticaily, show thc natural thrust ta the sky of evergrcen foreste. Wbcn the wood is quarter- cut it is used te praduce a cane- sbaped effect which very closely imitates tbe natural design cf the conîfer, especially the Spruce. The snow at the pcaks cf Uic bigh mountains in the far back- ground is made from Holly wood, and almost glistens against the dark walnut in which it nestles. The American Beecb Walnut wbich forms the mountains has its grain slanted to give the'illus- ion of beight. In the center lie the ligbter colored foothilîs. carved from Sycamore, from the part of the tree whose grain looks like the skin of a lake trout, except for its reddish-tan colorn Tbe undulations in Uic hilis are formed by alternating dà-rker and lighter shades of the- same eut of wood. The Bcauty of the Buri Walnut burl makes its appear- ance in the bushes behind the cabin. It migbt be mentioned bere that tbe burl of any kind of wood invarîably makes an exception- ally attractive design. The burl is an outgrowth on a tree, not following the usual grain pattern C: that is found in the parent mater- ial.

But, according to H. D. Archibald, Di- rector of Research for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the problem is by no means new, go- ing back almost as far as civili- zation itself. "It sbould be noted that this disease bas existed since the dis- covery of the brewing and dis- tilling process," Mr. Archibald told a conference of Ontario Medical Officers and Nursing Supervisors at Queen's Park to- day. "Hammurabi in 2250 B.C. recognized problem drinkers and devised counteracting legisiation in his dode. "We stili have alcoholics. And like any social, psychological or physical disorder there will be alcoholics until we focus directly upon the disorder itself, recog- nizing that it is a disease, then proceeding by research, rehabili- tation and community education to overcome it. The speaker pointed out that "(not too long ago" tuberculosis, and more recently venereal di- sease and mental ilînesses "were lifted by research and education out of the ajiyss of intolerance." In bis opinion, alcoholism wiil be the next ta follow." Appointed to bis position when it was created last September, tbe LCBO Research Dîrector bas been engaged in the study of al- cobolism and attendant problems. There was, be went on, an im- mediate difficulty in finding a precise definition cf the term "alcoholic." At that, the classifi- cation was subdivided for the purpose of clinical research. N'evertheless, there was a general behaviour pattern, "the alcoholic pattern", wbich could be recog- nized. What was important, he de- clared, was the acceptance that "the roots of alcobolism are to be found in deep social and psycbo- ogical forces," and that" under- standing of the problem can only be achieved by going far beyond overt symptoms of excessive drinking." Mr. Archibald, drawing upon the studies of Dr. E. M. Jellinek of Yale University, traced the path of the alcoholic . . . the in- dividual . . . . who, fundamen- tally "bas some underlying dis- rder" and who finds that "'he derives greater satisfaction, ob- tains greater reward, from drink- The typical alcoholic starts oung. Then, by the time be le 25, the first tangible indication )f bhis affliction* appears - - the 'black-out." This is loss of mem- )ry of events after a certain point in drinking - - "the first con- ýrete symptom of alcobolism." Tbe second major symptom, ippearing in about two, years, is loss of control." He then bas rily two alternatives: "ta quit rinking entirely, or procecd lwn the line ta alcaholism." Tbis, be continued, lcads into he "alibi" stage, wben the de- ,loping alcobolie starts finding <cuses, any excuse, for drink- ng. He starts ta worry about his xinking; he becomes extravagant -- casbing cheques in excess of s needs, giving large tips, tak- ig tamis wherever he goes. A feeling cf "remorse," and of uilt overcomes him; he knows ýis drinking too heavily and cias bis social relationships arc ffering. From. here he moves )a self-imposcd "isolation". He ecornes a lone drinker. "About anc ta thrce years after et he entera the chronic phase ,d starts gaing on "benders.. uring which he drinks blindly, lplessly, with just one goal, to at drunk." In this stage he is wally hospitalized for the tiret ne. Tben "you will tind him ing bis job, bis friends, and s0 ." His next stage is hiding ttlpg. 46JMos dretl I.-ge- hIto Uic cycle drinldng stage, in which lite becemes nothing more than anc bender atter ancUier . . N. ia drinking te over- corne Uic symptoms cf drinking." "As he continues along ithis phase, Uic alibi systeni that bas carricd him through al of Uic other stages* will gradually begin te disitegrate and even -the al- cohollc will finally come tauich stage wheie be admits, b. la lickcd. Until he admits this, littlc can b. donc in rehabilit4tion." It was the Liquor Control Board's intention,. Mr-. Archi- bald said, to continue a tborough study into this probleni and Uic prirnary purpose -of bis rernarks today was t e sck Uic delegates' co-eperatien whcn his dcpart- ment called on tbem i the fut- ure for assistance in the compila- tien cf alcohoic statistics. If it might be aslked, be said, wliy this study was bcingunder- taken by the Board I would ask you te underline and, note thc word central. That word la now bcing interprctcd in the broad sense te include not only legis- lative measures with respect ta sale, but also te include cantrol of the drinking habits of the people, with particular reference in this case ta the excessive drink- er and the alcoholic." Crusade for Health Gains Wide Support Proof that National Healtb Week has attained the status cf the most important annual ev'ent in the field of health education in Canada is seen in widespread support accorded this sixtb an- nual observance, says Dr. Gor- don Bates, General Director cf the Health League of Canada wbich sponsors the event in co- operation with departments cf bealth and education. "It is evident te those of us who have been campaigning for many years in the interests of a healthy C.ýnada that our people are aware of the need for health meîsures," states Dr. Bates. "We believe, too, that people are awakening to the wonderful pos- sibilities for greater enjoyment of life through good health." Dr. Bates instances support given the Ilealth Week obser- vance by governmeint officiais and departments, radio, news- papers and other publications, and a wide range of voluntary and professional organizations. Sponsorship of a special news- paper advertisements and radio announcements by commercial firms bighlight this inipressive campaign. He said he wisbed to cail at- tention to the January issue of the montbly Royal Bank Letter- entitled "Crusade for Health." This issue of the publication was entirely devoted to hcalth and National Health Week. "It is a factual and inspirational cail to Canadians te join what has developed into a mighty worthwhile effort," Dr. Bates said. "Distribution of 200,000 copies of the English edition, and 50,000 copies of the FNeh- language eaition le being made. "A few year ago. t would have been consldercd almost bi- zarre for a bank to intcrest t- self in matters wbich appeared te bclongen]y in Uic field cf the doctor. The action cf Uic ]Royal Bànk in lending such act- ive support te thc Health League et Canada and National Hcalth Wcck is indicative cf Uic tact that business men realize new as neyer before that Uic tii-st wealtb is bcalth."
