A TY THE OSHAWA DAILY IIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1929 EARLY CANADIAN ART 15 FOSTERED BY THE CHURCH Professor Adair of Montreal, Outlines Wealth of Craft. 'manship of Old Churches Montreal, Feb, 1.--In an illus- trated lecture entitled "Sault aux Recollets" Professor E, R, Adalr, of Montreal, recently afforded the McGill Alumnae Society a glimpse of 'the wealth of artistic eraftsman- ship to be found in the old churches of the Province of Quebec. The professor dealt with the early his- tory of Montreal, the circumstances that affected the life of the set- tlers, and the thines that made np the civilization of New France, leading up to the b-ginning of art- istic creation in the colony, In the English settlements to the south, Prof. Adair pointed out, similar circumstances were found, but whereas frontier conditions killed the arts in New England, it was not so in New France, The key to the situation was the Ro- man Catholic Church, which utiliz- od whatever was possible to make its services impressive to the hahi- tants, Objcts d'art were brought over from France, also architects, and wood carvers and teachers to give instructions in the rudiments of church decoration, The result was the founding by Laval in New France of a school of art establish- ed on the sound traditions of the 17th century, to which the eccle- siastical art of the country belong- ed down to. 1840. This was essentially a wood carving age, the lecturer said, he- cause wood was the chief material available, He showed how two schools developed, one in Quebee and the other in Montreal, with the same fundamental ideas but with distinctive characteristics, A feature of the Quebec school was the use of life-size statues in the churches, and Prof. Adair mention- ed the interesting fact that the last representative of the school of sta- tue carvers, Louis Jobin, died in Quebeg City only last year, more than 90 years of age. Coming to Sault aux Recollets, which is located on the northern part of the Island of Montreal, the lecturer traced the establishment of the mission there by the Sulni- ciahs and the building of the church, which after the migration PERFECTION ~ otection for your Perisct proses One filling in the radiator, and you need only add water as re- t af you wi guises, Jus Freez roof es below freez- 4 oe giges Harmless to Duco and paint.

The people of the par- ish held m meeMng when everyone contributed something -- stone, wood, labor or money--so that in 1751 the edifice was ready for ser- vices to be held. The new church. still standing, was buflt a century later, Prof. Adair described the man- ner of decorating churches of the time with wood carvings which were nailed onto the surface to be decorated, an effective device of the craftsmen. In describing the Sean aux Recollets church he show- ed views of the west front of the edifice, the work of an English ar- chitect in 1850; the beautiful dom- ed roof, some of the altars, a tab- erifaicle and other features dating from different periods, noting typi- cal details of the Montreal school such as the cornucopia motif. At- tion was particularly called to the doors on each side of the high altar leading to the sacristy, these being carved in beautiful forms out of a solid block of hard wood, and tint- ed, These were obviously the work of French-Canadians, supposedly dating back from the middle of the 18th century, and probably the finest pieces of local wood carving in Canada. VAST TRACTS OF TINBER BEING CUT No Government Control Of Private Industries -- For- merly Private Holdings Toronto, Feb, 1.--Millions of dollars worth of pulpwood which ordinarily would have remained Crown property were converted in- directly by the Boer War and the Fenian Raids into private holdings from which vast quantities of tim- ber have heen cut and are still be- ing cut, immune from government control of any kind save meagre taxation, states an article in the Toronto Globe, The timber has been shipped to the United States in its raw state, totally unaffected by the "manu- facture-before-export" regulations which at present apply to pulp- timber cutting from Crown lands. In recognition of their services the Fenian and South African war veterans were {issued by the On- tario government certificates which entitled the holder to 160 acres ot land in Northern Ontario, or to tne privilege of accepting in lieu there- of a cash consideration of $50. Many men relinquished their land | told some li. volving 2,560,000 acres i - The willl : "With the passing of time private lll ers, for instance, there is one bioek rights by taking the cash, but the majority retained the property fornished them as a gratuity, All 16,000 certificates, in- of land, were issued before the authorities called a halt. Very few recipients ever saw their northern property, let alone settled on it. Globe article continues: pulp operators began to buy up these 160 acre lots, They are still acquiring them, Some of the most valuable pulp timber located in On- tario is to be found . on the big 'blocks of the North country that were set aside for the Boer and Fenian veterans., In the valley of the Groundhog and Matagami Riy- of timber--400 square miles of it --from which, in the opinion of Walter C.

Washington Conference Was Violated Washington, D.C., Feb, 1.--A demand that the United States be made more powerful at sea rum- bled through the Senate Chamber again today as Senator Johnson, Republican, California, spoke of a "world drama" which he said would be played in future upon the Pacific, He pleaded for gnactment of the Warship Construétion Bill now awaiting action, The naval program is vital to safety of the United States, de- clared the Californian in a two hour address which consumed the full time allotted for debate on the bill, It is necessary to give the Unitgd States a parity with Great Britain in sea streng.h, he said, and approval of the program also is necessary to bring about any future conference for the limita. tion of armaments, Great Britain with her sea strength was the particular larget of Senator Johnson and he charged that nation with a violation of the Washington Arms Conference in Conference in building cruisers since the Naval Limita.ions Treaty was ratitied, But he called for a larger United States navy for the 'sole purpose of protecting the U.S, end not for fighting any other nation," He said that 'realizing as I do what the future holds for the Pacific Coast, I want this bill passed and passed in its present form, I real- ize it will be onl ya brief period, as the time of man goes, until the world's drama wil be played upon the Pacific Ocean." Johnson iosisted that the United States had been mis.ed into an un-| equal naval basis with Great Brit- | ain in the Washington Conference and in this contention he was joined by Senator Reed, Democrat, | of Missouri, who declared that the Uniied States' quota of capital ships was 20 per cent, less than | Gireat Britain's by virtue of that conference, A group of students from South African universities saw their first snow storm this week when they paid a short visit to Toronto, They were greatly impressed, St. Johns, Que. lost its biggest man this week when Odilon Vade- boncocur died.

GOOLIDGE GIVES HIS FINAL ADDRESS TO THE WORKERS Talks to Business Organiza. tion of Government With < Economy Keynote Washington, Feb. 1.--Construc- tive economy in government was the keynote of President Coolidge's final address to the business or- ganization of the government which he met for the last time. He issu- ed a warning that rigid economy in federal expenditures must be con- tinued if national prosperity Is to be maintained, The chief executive paid high praise to the success of the bud- get system established eight years ago, He said it was put into op- eration to save the country from economic disaster and the results have fully justified its operation. The President paid tribute to General Lord, director of the bud- get bureau and also the great rank and file of the government person- nel for the co-operation which had made the system a success, The President's address was de- livered to the 16th regular meet- ing of the business organization. The sessions are held semi-annu- ally and are attended by cabinet officers, heads of government bur- eaus and federal employes charg- ed with the disbursement of fed- eral funds, KELLOGG TREATY IS BEFORE REICHSTAG Berlin, Feb, 1.--A bill ratifying the DBriand-Kelloge pact was in- troduced in the Reichstag.

At the same time the Foreign | Office issued a white book con-{ taining an exchange of diplomatic notes concernine the pact. The hill probably will come up for de- bate February 2.
