Few of us are able to participate in the Vancouver meetings,
exhibitions and lectures without a very definite extra effort. I made
such an effort in June, to attend an advertised week-end session of the
Harry Davis Workshop. The subjects to be covered and times of
ectures were very definitely stated. I drove in four hundred miles, a
day in advance, to be sure to be on the doorstep at starting time. nine
a.m. And I was on the doorstep at that time and the door was locked.
Frantic phoning assured me that I had not driven in on the wrong date
but that things were just ''a little late in starting", yes indeed.

During the course of the day almost none of the subjects as advertised
were touched on. When I attempted to bring up one particular item on
the agenda Mr. Davis shushed me with We are going to cover that
during the coming week". I gave up and went window-shopping. In
future, when you advertise a week-end session for those unable to
attend the regular course, please see that your teacher realizes that
he must provide the material as advertised and on time. This is but
common courtesy.

Would it be possible to circulate small slide collections and small
portable shows throughout the province? I'm sure the representatives
in various regions would be happy to care for these items in the field
end return them on time and intact. The available material could be
listed in each issue of the Western Potter,
