(above). 24-year-old inienpi-eter of Nova Scotian landscapes. for its nationally distributed 1952 calendar. although the artist's un- usual talent was. of course, ulti- mately responsible for the sur- prise selection. In accordance with the B. of M. policy. the choice had to be a Canadian scene by a Canadian painter. A nine-man committee had narrowed the choice down to "just under 20 excellent can- vases" and was already voting upon those whcn it representa- tive selection of Purcell'5 many works opened in a small gallery. The committee decided it was only fair to look over the new- comer's pictures. too. After much study, they selected a canvas en- titled "Clear October Day. Front Harbour. Chester. NS." The 10- cale of the picture is in Mahone Bay. NS. a summer colony much favored by visitors from Phila- dclphla. New York and Boston.

A former pupil of the Nova Scotia College of Art. Nurcell spent three years in scholarship study there. He then began a series of landscape paintings de- picting Nova Scotian life.

and the students showed they had been well picked to have answered as many of them as

they did.

The talent portion of the pro- gram brought. together 16 differ- ent selections and each was en- joyed by the radio audience. Next week's Sc'nurmsn's School Parade will bring together the semi-final. winners for the first section of play which ended with last night's talent program.
