Student Art Exhibits
To Be Shown Soon

Art teachers of Nelson, Trail
and Castlegar met recently to
discuss further details of | the
forthcoming exhibition of student
art, Te dates for the first

An honest-to-goodness bumble,
bee flew in the window this
afternoon. I was hanging a nylon
shirt in the caressing warmth of,
the sunshine when he droned
like a medium bomber into the
room, circled about a couple of
times and swept out again. Too
cold inside. Meanwhile the
robins who have been here for
a week or more, are hopping
about the branches of the trees,
already swelling with bud, and
flying down to the grass to see
the worms are kept properly ex-
ercised, That the grass is just
as green on both sides of the
fence and that no rival robins
are muscling in on their terri-
tory,

The robins. though aren't
getting it ali their own way. The
local cats are forsaking the
warmth of the fireside for the
warmth of the front garden and
the added attraction of robin
exercising. Last week, for in-
Stance a popular ‘Times colum-
ist, Monty Roberts, wrote about
his ‘female type. kitten’, Little

of the jury have acquired a pet
bird so that Little Miss Muffet
could have learned tolerance of
birds generally,

Monty agrees to abide by the
decision of the jury and to ac-
cept any punishment ‘that it de-
cides to dish out’ as long as the
foreman (forewoman) will un-
dertake to bell the kitten,

And so the sap starts to stir
and rise in Victoria

showing of the work, which is
to be in Nelson, were fixed as
the 23 - 26 of April. From

The same offer includes sup-

the haunting music of the Is-

enough to tempt the most frugal
