It is the first book to be published in an English-Eskimo edition and is a collection of Pitseolak's prints and drawings accompanied by an informal text.

From the now famous Eskimo Co-operative at Cape Dorset on Baffin Island, she was one of the first artists to practice there and now is one of a diminishing group. The exhibition was assembled to launch the publication the pieces for the exhibition. The book provides a vivid insight into the present life of the Eskimo and a look into the past. It well illustrates the change the Eskimo has had to make, apparently with a lack of serious strife. The whole way of life in the North is necessarily one of adaptability and it is to be expected that as civilization moves in The Eskimo print Is a truly Canadian art form which has reached international recognition.

The text and illustrations reveal Pitseolak as a pure-child-like soul whose ready acceptance of her lot is refreshing in its outlook.

Her work is inspired by remembered incidents, the happenings of today and imaginary beings of Eskimo legend. Being one of a race of highly imaginative beliefs, her drawing of mythical figures is decorative and expressive. Her attitude is one of wonderment at her own success and she is quietly amused by the importance accorded her by the people of the south. The book is successful in that the text complements the drawings in such a way that together, they provide a much greater understanding of Eskimo culture than could be achieved by cither one by itself. The show is comprised of some fifty prints made during the period between 1963 and 1970.

Some of these are reproduced in Die book. Most are black and white but those which show color are quiet and restrained in its use. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Open until 9:00 p.m.

YORKTON, Sask. (Special) This August, the 1971 Venice Film Festival made a great do-do about the fact that the People's Republic of China would "for the first time participate in an inter-national motion picture event." "The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming!" Venice's advance announcements heralded. To the Yorkton Interna- i a 1 Documentary Film Festival, such fanfare seemed a little anti-climactic, since presentations from Peking had been featured at. Yorkton's biennial Festivals back in 1962 and 1964.

At that time, Festival audiences in the Saskatchewan city of 15,000 viewed On Night Duty, a film about the nocturnal adventures of an owl, Landscape Painting, on various schools and styles of Chinese painters, and Great Hall Of The People, a feature on a People's Palace, revealing the spirit of the Chinese people in its architectural design.

The right choice is a show or a schedule that attracts more viewers than the competition and hence commands higher prices for commercials, he says in Television: The Business Behind the Box. The right choice also is a show that offends no one and attracts no complaints. Few executives are willing to risk their upward mobility or the company's fortunes on anything new or experimental.

One network vice-president told Brown, "We don't pick the shows we think will have the best chance of becoming popular. To be honest, we're attracted to those that seem to have the least chance of failing." This fear also is corporate. He writes: "Since television is a highly conspicuous business, and always under the watch of politicians, it does not benefit a broadcast company to look for controversy." EXECUTIVES UNHAPPY Early copies of the book already are circulating among network executives and the reaction is one of unhappi-ness. It deals in the personalties who occupy the executive suites, and Brown with flashes of humor records the adroitness, absurdities, THURSDAY IS LADIES' NIGHT AIRLINE COURSE FOR S4EN AND WOMEN mm 51m iii jl JwYiiii MelieaMUMMMi'w VAiUIM- The GROUP FIVE TKLUHi'ihTOn ASTRAL COCKTAIL LOUNGt INGA Vocalist and Guitar lwwt I TAVERN ADDCEJ If you are between the ages of 17 and 34, and have completed grade twelve, (or will soon) let us help you prepare for an exciting new career with commercial airlines.
