PAGE TWENTY-TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1930 ONTARIO ART SOCIETY PLANS. ANNUAL EXHIIT Historical Review Given By Ontario Society of Artists Quaint Custom | ! The interested investigators of quaint customs and traditions will remember with an amused feeling that one feature of the original O. S. A. (in which artists and lay mem- bers worked together) was that fol- lowing the example of the English societies of the time, it had formed an art union which strictly speaking was a lottery. Anyone could become a member of the union by buying a numbered - ticket, which was "worth five dollars. This ticket gave the purchaser the automatic ownership of a chromo reproduction which had a value oh, shout ] 10 cents and the right to take part in the drawing of |* one of the 50 pictures 'given as prizes with values ranging from $25 to $150. 1 People who are concerned with the compilation of records of the va- rious landmarks of a city will not fail to find, in the origins of the O, S$. A. matters of interest, for the ex- hibition of that society was held in the rooms of Fraser's establishment on King Street. First Exhibition The first exhibition was held East- er Day, April 14, 1873. Twenty- eight artists were represented and there were 250 works exhibited. In other words the average number of works contributed by members o the Society was nine cach. Today no member is allowed to submit more than four paintings or pastels each, Fred H. Brigden, the President of today, who has made an exhaustive study of the history of the organiza- tion, remarks graciously that while women members of the Society are prominent in its' councils and make BUY AGNEW-SURPASS SHOES and RUBBERS And you buy quality goods at the lowest prices. ; COMPARE OUR PRICES A special line of Ladies' Ox- ford Ties, or one or two Straps in patent or kid leathers.

Patent (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont., Feb. 26/--With the announcement of the 58th Annual Exhibition of the Ontario Society of Artists to be held during the month of March at the Art Gallery of To- ronto, and in which wi}l *be seen work by Canadian artists from all sections of the Dominion, many in- teresting facts regarding the history and the activities of the O.S.A. arc recalled. Libetal historians of Canadian art will want to look back to the year 1872 when the first "permanent art body was organized in Canada, un- der the impulse given to local art by the London born Scotsman, John Fraser, a student of the Royal Aca- demy school, and will feel the names of its founders are of paramount im- portance. These original founders were J. Hoch, Marmaduke Mathews, T. M. Martin, C. W. Bridgeman, C. S. Millard, R. F. Gagen, and as a moving spirit, John Fraser. bers, many of whom were exhibiting for the first time, ; A very great response is expected by the Society to its invitation to exhibit with the 58th Annual and added interest in the exhibition will this year be due to the exhibition of Canadian art which is open at the Corcoran Gallery, in Washington, D.C, on March &. Press Day Press day and the reception and private view will be March 7, for the 58th annual at the Art Gallery of Toronto. The members of the jury of selec- tion this year are Alex Panton, Wal- ter Huntley, Charles Comfort, Do- fore the days of the suffragette, says Mr, Brigden. Ta all those who are not familiar with the importance attached by the government to the existence of this Canadian "art organization it will be worth mentioning that in an act re- garding Agriculture and Art which was passed in 1877, the Ontario So ciety of Artists was incorporated and given an annual grant by the government of $500, Responsible for Gallery The general public, which has viewed in years gone by the exhibi- tion of the Ontario Society of Ar- tists at the Art Gallery of Toronto, themselves heard and felt in hariging | perhaps does not realize if it had i committees, jury bodies and other [nat been for the efforts of the so- ' rothy Stevens Austen, F N.

D. Pearlstein, orary chairman of the Stobie, For- Protective Assoclation, in- formed about 500 creditors of the bankrupt brokerage house at a meeting in the King Edward hotel yesterday, that there would prob- ably be only 40 cents on the dollar available, "That's a far cry," he sald the 100 cents on the dollar the firm said it could pay when it as- signed on January 30. At that time, outlined the chair- man, warning the creditors against hasty action, they were reported as- sets of $2,000,000. But creditors claims amount to $3,300,000 and of the $2,000,000 assets more than $600,000 is hypothecated to the banks. '"goou temp- long Co. "from | FORTY PER CENT. | creditor he people classified as debtors the firm might be turned into creditors if the crown proved of 'bucketing,"'" he said. When the custodian tried to collect from them what the firm claimed to be debts, they might fight the claim. They would want back the money they had already paid. Concerning the appointment of N. L. Martin as custodian, Mr. Pearlstein said he had written for an explanation of the custodian"s position, since he had been an au- ditor with the Stobie Forlong firm. "Mr. Martin says he was ap- pointed by the exchange as audi- tor, and was the firm's auditor in this way for a few months before the assignment," he added. COLUMBUS BRIEFS Columbus, Feb, 25.--Mrs. M.
