THE OPPOSITE PAGE SHOWS PART OF A CALENDAR DESIGNED AND EXECUTED BY A
FORMER STUDENT FOR HIS OWN BUSINESS IN THE LAND OF PULP AND PAPER.

AN APPRECIATION

We are grateful in this issue for the
supplementary calendar which has been
forwarded by Mr. Peter Meilleur of
Powell River for our use in this issue.
Pete,as he was always called,was one of
the first students of the School "way
back when", A year prior to that he
had attended the Chicago School of Art
and before that studied at the Vancou-
ver Tech.

The Technical training stayed with
Pete through his art studies,finding ex
pression in etching and woodblock cut-

ting and his was a very thorough and
sincere love of craft.
It is fitting that his work should

find representation in this publication
for he was one of the most enthusiastic
workers for the “Paint Box" of former
days e

Unfortunately Pete was unable to com
plete the course, but after years of
"4ust working" he has forced his way to
a position where his technical and art-
istic skill can be utilized. "The Ad-
vertiser Press" of Powell River is his
proud possession and is equipped for
silkescreen as well as the usual "job
work" .,

On our return voyage from Savary we
deserted ship to see “the pride and
joy" and in spite of an air of generous
carelessness,which makes Pete's genuine
craftsmanship all the more amazing, we
were very much impressed.

This calendar whieh suitably illus~-
trates one phase of the chief industry
of the coast town is neither “printed"
nor "screened" but is reproduced by li-
thography from a direct-to-the-plate
drawing. The machine used is a Multi-
lith, a small type used to print econ-
omically circulars and office work. It
is comparatively new to Canada and has
many artistic possibilities in its
field.

Several of the past students have
used this form of reproduction and it
was our intention to dwell on the sub-
ject, but we already have one good art-
icle along the line of reproducing by
silkscreen, and will keep this for the
next issue which we hope will contain a
further sample.

We wish to thank Pete again for his
artistic contribution to our paper and
for the article he will write us next
issue. We wish him the best of luck in
his venture and the success his ability
deserves.
