Cultural treasures
are in danger

TORONTO, (CP) — The
Star says one of Canada’s
greatest cultural treasures,

officiats don’t know where all
the works are located.

‘The report, by'a Toronto
firm. of and

the Group of Seven
housed at the hael gal-

lery in nearby Kleinbury, is

haphazardly maintained and ©

in danger of being burned,
eroded or lost.

‘The newspaper says a con-
fidential Ontario government
report, ordered by the min-
istry of culture and recré-

founder Robert McMichael as
director:of the. famous gal-

says,

Culture Minister Reuben
Baetz said in an interviow a
new director will be ap-
pointed in two to three weeks
and McMichael and his wife
Signe will continue to serve
as trustee “in an advisory
capacity.” ‘

Baez said the problems
arose because McMichael,
whose personal. collection
forms the core of the gallery
collection, has been so con-
cerned with preserving the
beauty of the museum build: |

install safety measures such
as sprinklers and fire doors.
