It was true, he added, that the department did get some complaints that assessors' questions were annoying, but this annoyance usually stemmed from fears that the, questions would lead to higher assessments. "The assessor had be an eager-beaver. He's got to get out and check returns and he must ask questions to get at the basis of statements made." Committee discussion on the assessors' attitude followed tax foundation comment on the controversial issue of whether Canada should have a capital gains tax.

such as that which exists in the United States. Stuart Thom, tax foundation vice-president, said no one has yet come up with a definition of a capital gains which would be universally acceptable.

Therefore, the farmer doesn't like to see them suffer at the slaughterhouse. There arises a "very real attachment" said a brief read by H. H.

Hannam, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, before the Commons agriculture committee. A "feeling of comradeship develops" said a brief from the Interprovincial Farm Union Council. The committee is nearing the end of hearings on whether control of humane slaughter of animals should best be handled by legislation under the Criminal Code or under the agriculture de- partment. Today's briefs backed the justice department's view that the agriculture department seems the best way. Holdup attempt by woman fails NEW YORK (AP) A tiny, greying woman.

WAITING SEAWAY START: These Canadian ships, parked at berths in Montreal harbour, are shown as they awaited the opening Saturday of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The inland ships spent the winter in Montreal. Show of German are nears end By R. L.

BLOORE This weekend is the final display period of the exhibition "German Graphic Art of the 20th century" in the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina College, The 105 works in this exhibition were chosen by German museum directors from public German collections. The show was opened in Regina by Dr. Ewald Lanwer, consul for the Federal Republic of Germany, Winnipeg, and the works are being circulated throughout Canada by the National Gallery of Canada. It would be almost impossible to imagine a finer national display from the artistic standpoint than this one. Frequently national exhibitions tend to lack artistic integrity: as it the lowest common denomination in the foreign audience must be satisfied.

This particular exhibition contains five examples by such important 20th century artists as Paul Klee, E. Kircher, Kathe Kollwitz, Franz Marc, Ernst Barlach, Wassily Kandinsky and Max Beckmann. Representative example by the major contributors to both the Bountiful snowfall ASSINIBOIA (Special) A $1,000,000 fall. That is what farmers are calling the eight-inch snowfall that blanketed the Assiniboia region as well as other parts of Southern Saskatchewan Thursday and Friday. Business in Assiniboia was lively Thursday during the fall.

Farmers who were worried because of the arid land, were wearing broad smiles. Members of town council who were worrying of the water supply were also pleased with the bountiful snowfall. At Weyburn, snowfall measured 3.6 inches and official precipitation was .36 inches. District stockmen take top honors MELVILLE (Staff) Many of the honors at the recent Saskatchewan show and sale held in Saskatoon were taken by Rhys Williams and Son of this district. The Williams', entries took four firsts, five seconds and a number of other prizes; and one female was grand champion of the show.

Their five bulls found a good, steady trade and were all purchased by Saskatchewan buyers. The Williams' stock also did well at the Regina show and sale in March when their twoyear-old bull placed first in its class and was reserve senior champion of the show. Dresden "Bruecke" (Bridge) movement and the Munich 'Der blaue Reiter' (The Blue Horseman) group are included. The expressive range covered by this exhibition from Beckmann's "Woman with Candle" of. 1920 to Baumeister's color lithographs of 1953 is richly varied.

It is a large display distributed throughout several galleries; it includes woodcuts, lithographs, etchings and silkscreens. Many are rich in color, others make powerful humanistic statements in black and white. The era of Hitler is not represented. There is an absolute break in the exhibition between 1933 and 1945. During the Nazi period, those artists who wanted to continue their modern style were not only forbidden to exhibit but were actually prohibited from continuing their work.

Since the last war, those who survived have continued to add with the return of intellectual freedom to the German tradition; and new and younger men have appeared to contribute to the ever developing art of our century. Two new exhibitions will also be on view this weekend in the art gallery. The one includes works by George 'Swinton of Winnipeg. This particular exhibition is because of its size, split between the Regina Public Library which was instrumental in bringing the show to Regina, and the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery. George Swinton is a well known Canadian painter, teacher, lecturer and collector of Eskimo carvings.

He seems to be going through a period of conflict, being unable to resolve in his works, what he must feel is a serious dichotomy between almost traditional, representational and immediately understandable themes and the positive advances of the contemporary abstract expressionistic theories and techniques. This Sunday evening, members of the Art Gallery Society will have an opportunity to preview the 10th Annual Saskatchewan Arts Board exhibition. The Gallery Society will then be holding their spring meeting and election of new officers. The Saskatchewan Arts Board exhibition will be officially opened in Regina at 8.15 p.m. on Thursday, April 30.

The paintings and sculptures were previously shown in Saskatoon, during March.
