The exhibit, which opens on Friday and is to remain until Dec, ll, includes new sound, light and motion artworks by four Canadians who have established a mark in the art world. The show will include the latest works by Ian Carr- Harris and Michael Snow of Toronto, Murray Favro of London, Ont., and Norman White, who now lives in Westboro, Mass. These will go on a national tour next year, for displays in London, Ont., Lethbridge, Calgary and Vancouver. Mayo Graham, assistant curator of contemporar Canadian art at the Nation Gallery, conceived the show to demonstrate that art has more dimensions than length, width and depth. “There is more to art than the static dimensions,” he said in an interview. ‘‘There isi sound and motion and energy, even the energy of ‘ormance, and motion in ts broadest sense.’” Carr-Harris, for instance, is showing still and motion- picture projectors and projections, and Snow’s works include a television camera mounted on a de- vice to make it revolve in several directions, scanning everything around it. SCULPT WITH SOUND Snow's new work is a kind of sound sculpture. He is recording the tock-tock sound of a metronome and re-recording it from several locations to get a mixture of natural sounds surrounding it. Norman White, a biologist and self-taught electronics expert, is working on a devicecum-computer which will emit sound patterns which change depending on the people near it. Murray Favor’s sculp- tures include his 1972-73 Synthetic Lake, a con- struction of canvas and wood driven by an electric motor on which a film is projected, and several pieces mainly constructed of wood interpreting a windmill, an airplane and his new perpetual motion machine. White was asked how his latest electronic invention relates to art. “It's an exploration of perception, and a person’s perception of what he sees is certainly very much related to art,"” White said. Mayo Graham says in the exhibition catalogue that the last decade or two ‘have brought new dimensions into the vocabulary. of sculpture: light, movement and time. “Where works of the earlier 20th century more often implied these further dimensions, recent works have actually employed them.” While the exhibit is on display here, the National Gall will also run an extensive program of lec- tures, films and. new music, including performances by the Nihilist Spasm Band from London, Ont., for which artists have designed and made some _in- struments.

Interpreting the news | Israel’s arms growth may force Arabs to use oil weapon WASHINGTON (CP) —A statistics-laden article in a 8 Magazine has renewed the tically-sensitive debate over US, arms shipments to Israel. The article, by Cordesman in Forces Journal, presents a strong argument that Israel is well on the way to over- whelming military superi- ority in the Middle East. Both the timing of the article and its implications may have far-reading impact on the Middle East situation. ; In late November, Israeli Defence Minister Ezer Weizman is to arrive in Washington with a long weapons shopping list. Dip- lomats are also approaching a decisive period in efforts to convene a’ Middle East peace conference. Anthony Armed If the. United States - continues a heavy flow of arms to Israel, in the face of the mounting evidence that Israel has far more than it needs for defence, there are two major potential dan- ers: U.S. leverage on ael may be erased and Israel’s enemies may be Europe that were depleted pkins Tiny Heid] Mendel is almost dwarfed by huge pum- grown by Mr. and Mrs. Karl Schulte of 2202 spurred to use the “oil weapon” with economically devastating results. In the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, the threat of endin US. arms shiprients hel stop the Israeli drive into Egypt. But if Israel builds up a decisive military superiority plus large stock- es, the threat may lose its effectiveness. FACES DIFFICULTIES Yet President Carter would face severe political difficulties in any attempt to check U.S. arms shipments to Israel. - When Gen. George Brown, chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, said a year ago that in strictly mili terms Israel is a “burden” to the United States, the domestic outery almost forced his dismissal, even — though he was not opposin the political decision to bear that burden. '¥et his assertion is demonstrably true: U.S. officials now admit that even four years later they have not fully ‘rebuilt key military stockpiles in Kalum St. Mrs. Schulte estimated the biggest weight Pollution spawns a different kind of fisherman LONDON, Ont. (CP) — The pollution of Ontario’s rivers and streams inspired Helmut Mundt to turn to fish farming and he is confident that his endeavors will pay off. “Half of the fish in the Great Lakes are ‘banned,’’ he said in an interview. ‘This business is the comin thing. Lf people want fis Light in resupplying Israel after the costly 1973 war. At one point, the stock- piles held only 189 medium tanks instead of the required $91: 420 armored personnel carriers instead of 1,028; and 147 artillery pieces instead of 294, U.S. divisions would have found few weapons awaiting them if they were rushed to Europe to deter or oppose a Soviet invasion. Protests have already started in reaction to Cor- desman’s article, with the Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith terming it “anti-Israel and anti- Jewish.” MANY TANKS The author, a former secretary of the Defence.

But more important than numbers are other factors: the greatly superior training of Israeli soldiers and the fa greater military re- capabilities they will have over their enemies because of the types of weapons received. In ' modern military balances, numbers can take a back seat to such things as electronic warfare devices, “smart” rockets and shells that approach 100 per cent accuracy and the com- munications: and training necessary for effective co- ordination of combined- arms operations. predict that Israel could be outnumbered in 1980 by 1.4 million military personnel to 487,000 if all its potential foes acted together. But modern military history abounds with examples of quality defeating quantity. another desert war 35 years ago, 30,000 British soldiers routed eight times their number of Italian opponents.

That ; 's what I’m counting — on, anyway.” . The Ontario government recently released a report cataloguing a variety of poisons in four of the five Great Lakes and 144 inland lakes and rivers. Resisting pressures to close the waterways to fishing as a public health measure, the report was released by the environment ministry as “‘a first attempt to provide [Business spotlight comprehensive guidelines for peaple wanting to eat the fish they catch by giving them the necessary infor- mation on which to base thelr own judgment.” In other words, let the angler beware. The report warned of the presence of some harmful ehemicals—-DDT, Mirex, methyl mercury, shines on photo shop (This week from Ottawa Iona Campagnolo Canadians weré told they were entering a ‘new era” as Queen Elizabeth opened Parliament with the Speech from the Throne Oct.16. “Tt can bean era of increasing division, or an era of enhanced freedom. Fundamentally the choice must be made by every citizen every day,” said the Queen... New economic realities and the urgency of promoting inguistic harmony are perhaps keystones to this year’s outline of the government's intended legislation. There is also a hint that government intends to give special con- sideration to prioritiesf regions in Canada as well as provinces, and this could have positive meaning for our area. _ Included in the outline is government intention to “im. prove the national transportaion system” through, for example, new ports legislation “which will enhance local autonomy and maintain overall national interest.” The government will encourage exploration in the Artic and c out the pipeline agreement with the United States. The speech indicated that the northern gas pipeline will likely be one of the largest civil engineering projects in the world, and will benefit Canada through jobs, in- vestment, purchase of materials and eventually, easier and cheaper accéss to northern gas reserves. The government will also regualte northern development in the Yukon to ensure pipeline construction does not predjudice native rights. —- The government indicated intention to increase Canada’s food producing patential; help the provinces to become self reliant in energy, and enhace Canad’a exports. Trade negotiations presently underway in Geneva will hopefully result in private sector stimulus in Canada and benefit all regions of the country. In thisv vein, the government intends to support the private sector in large capital undertakings in other countries. This will stimulate our export to those countries in a variety of ways. The government will amend the Anit Inflation Act this session, and create a monitoring agency for wages and prices to, in effect, replace it. Plans are to improve thé flexibility and efficiency of social services. Rehabiliation of disable peraons, day care and community development services are named as priorities in this area. Perhaps most signigicant in terms of the national unity question are plans to stimulate process of constitutional review ‘with all governments." This of course, includes British Columbia and it is my fervant hope that the specific and particualr needs of northern, western and “‘coastal Canadians” will be articulated in this review. According to the speech the Criminal Code will be amended to fuarantee the right of accused persons to be tried in the official language of their choice. In other areas of language rights the govenments pledges to ensure greater availability of education in both official languages. These intention, | firmly believe, will add a great deal of strength to Canada’s dual language system. = aa Canada is indeed entering a new era. Great changes” must take place in the social and economic priorities of Canadians and there is no doubt we will all individually be asked to play a part.

Now the company is called Colorific Photo Laba Ltd. and oc: cupies a 5,000-square-foot stuclo which Is believed to be the largeat of its kind in Western Canada. Mabee says no one could grasp the original name of the firm ,and a change was necessary for iden- tification. The company employs from 18 to 22 persons and produces an average e about 250 prints each working ys The beginning was a poor one for the Mabees, bul for two people who wanted to be their own es and make lots of money, the field of color enlargement was an opportunity not to be missed. BIG GOALS “Photo labs might have been doing three big prints a day and considered it a hassle,” says Skip. their “They never thought, well, what if I do 100 a day. ' ‘ “We concentrate on that type of work, so its no problem to us. We don’t do processing and no blow-ups under five by seven, It works for us.’ ‘ The Mabe€s began the business on an initial investment of $3,000 ob- talned through refinancing of the family truck. The money was used to buy an enlarger, which was placed in the bedroom, and soliciting for customs began. Further financing, however, was not easy to get, and what money they did manage to obtain disappeared quickly.

'‘The branch we were dealing with could only authorize loans of up to $12,000 ana we n we soon outgrew it.” The partnership is based on two things: the expertise of Brigitte in hoto lab work and Skip's ability to UB le the company's financia affairs—without telling his wife. eeded so much money that - “At one point we must have owed about $60,000 and there was no vay was going to tell Brigitte that,” he says. “She would have gone crazy.

The Mabees are looking forward to this year's end when they expect to show their firat visible profit.
