Royal Send-off
Planned For
Queen's Totem

VICTORIA — The Queen's
totem pole will.get a royal send-
off from Victoria April 21.

The ‘gift of the people of
British Columbia to Queen
Elizabeth, a foot long for each
of the’ province’s 100 years,
skilfully fashioned by one of the
last of the great Indian carvers,
Kwakiutl chief Mungo Martin,
will be the central figure in a
10:30 ‘am. ceremony at the
Legislative Buildings.

The totem will be hauled
from Thunderbird Park, where

- it is now undergoing final paint-

ing, to the steps of the buildings.
Tt will be given a parade
théugh the streets.

Premier W. A. C. Bennett and
members of the legislature will
be at the ceremony.

Some 600 school children and
two bands will assist with the
send-off. So will representa-
tives of Indian tribes and Indian
dancers in their native costumes.

Rey. Peter Kelly, Nanaimo,
United Church minister, who js
one of Canada’s best-known
Indians, will give one of the
addresses.

Following the ceremony, the
totem will be taken to Ogden
Point docks, where the Furness
ay ship Pacific Unity will be

iting, with special cradles fc.
ie totém to keep it from bend-
ing, to transport the gift to
England.

The totem is one of two giant
cedars’ taken from the Queen

Charlotte Islands after a contest
among loggers to find the best,
straightest tree.

The other has beéen carved
into an exact replica of the
“ Royal Totem.” It will stand in
Vancollver’s Stanley Park.

There are more than a few
photographers who have never
quite gotten around to explo
ing the ‘new avenues of pic-
ture taking which are opened
to them by use of supplemen-
tary close-up lenses. A whole
new Concept of texture, detail
and design are possible with
close-up “Tenses which allow
the photographer to move in
close enough to virtually rub
noses with the subject
material,

Even simple cameras can
make use these lenses,
which are placed in front of
the camera's regular lens to
work changes in the normal
optical characteristics.

Depth of field is necessarily
shallow at close distances, so
focussing becomes all-import
ant. For super-close work
calling for the use, say, of a
plus 3 diopter lens, a tripod
is recommende

The Cariboo Health Unit,

its area of over 50,000 square
miles, has a death rate lower
than the provincial average,
according to the annual report
of the unit just released.

The low rate of 6.2 per 1,000
population, is considered
attributable to the fact that this
