a Hall’s Service Station PAGE EIGHT Those who have in the past regarded the New Canadians from Europe as hewers of wood and-drawers of water must, after the recent demonstrations at the Great West Festival at Regina, admit that these peoples have, with their native arts, decidedly enhanced the cultural wealth of the country of their adoption. J. Murray Gibbon, who sponsored the festival under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, even goes so, far as to say that Saskatchewan and the other prairie provinces have within their borders the foundation of a National culture finer than that of any other nation on earth. To this foundation, the first sod for which had been turned at the previous festival at Winnipeg, all the races which go to make up the peoples of the west have contri- butedâ€"Icelanders and Irish with their folkâ€"songs and lore, Swedes and Slavs alike with their folk-crafts and dances. Hardly a race known to civilization, old or new, but contributed to the festival some artistry which will make for the further development of that culture which, being national, will be the means of welding to a still greater solidarity, those_peopl_e who are Canada: ‘41- 1' _, NJA- ___‘ vvvvv rvvrn.
