A most attractive buf slightly erroneous carving in soapstone was produced by -Amidilak, talented Eskimo sculptor from the east coast of Hudson Bay far north in Arctic Quebec. Because beaver are not iound in the Arctic and the Eskimo had never seen a photo- graph of the animal, he had to carve it as he had heard it de- scribed--a hard worker who fells trees to build his home. Amidilak, an expert in Arctic carving, made a few technical errors when he came to the beaver. He set the tail on vertically in- stead of horizontally, and shows th. beaver packing logs home on its shoulder. But by extending his range beyond the wildlife with which he was familiar he showed the true craftsman's instinct. for experiment. The beaver carving resulted from an experimental project khe- ing carried out by the Canadian Handicraft Guild to encourage the Eskimos to develop their fine na- tive gifts in art. With the help of the northern administration of the resources and development depart ment, the guild buys from the Eskimos direct and markets their work for them on a non-profit basis, A guild representative last year visited Port Harrison, Povungnituk and Cape Smith in the eastern Arctic and, while working among the natives, bought 2,500 pieces of local handicraft. The Eskimo response was so keen that soon more than three- quarters of the population was turning out some kind of hand- work, Eskimo carvings in° ivory and soapstone, beautifully beaded slippers, ornaments ang curios now are finding a good market among Canadians and tourists from the United States. The long-term aim of the pro- ject is to develop a new economic asset for the Eskimo, at the same time increasing his pride in a U.S. Relics His Prized Possessions . I) Moose Jaw, Sask. -- (CP) -- Documents dating back to 1826 when slaves were common in the southern United States are a prized possession of Jack Nice, farmer of the nearby Woodrow District. One paper lists the year's ex- penses for Charles E. Sneed at a general store in Alabama at a whopping $48.97." Buttons were' 25 cents a dozen, suspenders 50 cents and wool blankets $2.25 to $4 each. Another document is a receipt for $500 paid "for a female slave nam Delphy, 30 years old, and her child, Anderson, five years old, which I warrant to be sound in body and mind- and free: from all other claims."

Orders 15 Per Cent Wage Boost By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Auckland, N.Z..--(CP)--New Zea~- landers on higher wage levels have been granted the largest wage in- crease ever awarded at one time, but the rise has brought many new problems for the government. Labor organizations are threaten- ing protest action on the ground that the increase is not enough and are still subject to control and in most cases increases in prices will be permitted amounting to three- quarters of the added labor cost. In- dustry will be expected to bear the remaining quarter. In the case of the large number of commodities . which had been freed from price control, a close check will be kept, and if there is any sign of the increased wages cost being" over-recovered, or if wage rates are inflated by competi- tive bidding for labor, the govern- ment will bring the commodities concerned again under direct price control. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A classified ad and the deal is made, Tropical Isle Up For Sale At $18,000 Sydney, Australia -- (CP) -- A tropical island is for sale, off the coast of northern Queensland. Dr. Alex Horn of Tvowocmba,,a former owner, describes it as "one of the finest islands on the coast." He says "you can live there and be completely self suporting. The fishing is wonderful and at high tide the sea is only 20 yards from} your front door." \ And besides that, anything earned on the island is free of Australian income tax, Dr. Horn sold the island two years because he had no patients there. The present owner is aske ing about $18,000 for it. CHEAP DAIRY PRODUCTS . Wellington, NZ. -- (CP) -- No country in the world can supply food of animal origin more cheaply than New Zealand according to E. Bruce Levy, noted grassland farming ex- pert who has just completed a yorls tour on behalf ow the govern- ment. the government is being reluctant- ly forced to return to price controls aud subsidies to keep down living costs. The increase granted by the Are bitration Court, which controls min- imum rates of pay in most occupa=- tions throughout the country, amounted to three shillings in the pound, or 15 per cent. Thus a worker earning the equivalent of $20 a week will get a $3 increase, while one on $30 a week, will get an extra $4.50. The court had pre- viously granted an interim increase of slightly over $1, and this will be included in the new permanent in- creases, Asked Flat Increase Labor organizations had asked for flat-rate increases ranging from $9 to $11 a week. The court refused to give increases on this scale and also rejected the principle of a flat rate increases ranging from $9 to $11 a week. The court refused to give increases on this scale and also rejected the principle of a flat rate increase. It held that mar- gins for skill had already contract ed too much in recent years and unless the workers on higher pay got a larger rise the margin would fall still further. The court in making its order warned about the dangerous effects of "vicious world-wide inflationary pressures," but said it thought that in justice and equity all workers should share in the country's "in- terim prosperity." Labor Disappointed Labor organizations--the Federa- tion of Labor, central trade un= ion body, and the Trades Union Congress, a breakaway left-wing body which made much higher claims--have both expressed disap- pointment at the amount of the ine crease and are considering what action should be taken, Individual trade unions have also called meet- ings to consider protest action. Meanwhile the govel ent has taken prompt action to check un- due cost of living increases as a result of the new wage rates. Re- tall prices of butter, milk, bread and flour are being held at present levels by increased subsidies. The Government had hoped to abolish subsidies gradually, but pressure of events has forced it to increase subsidy rates in several cases re- cently. It has also been forced to give warning that price control, whith was gradually being abandoned, may have to be restored to a wider range of goods. Some commodities 0 Oshawa!
