It always seess that ther? ar? things which have to take precedence over the preparation of the Newsletter. I vish to thank: Linda Bien and Michelle Gautier, in particular, for sending le materials for this issue. I also have been receiving seve-^al Gallery Newsletters which peraits a broader coverage of sateriol than I would have otherwise. I was not able to attend the art session at CLA in Montreal which I had originally planned on. I ai hoping that soaeone will send ae a report about it for the next issue. ARLI3/M/G/Q is holding its fleeting June 14 in Montreal which I had also hoped to attend but found I was unable to do so. Daphne Dufresne, Chief Librarian, Fine Arts ?f Music, Universite de Quebec a Montreal is the chairperson of ARLIS/M/Q/3. My present plan is to publish the third issue cf the CARLIj Newsletter during the first two weeks cf Septeiiber. If the present trend continues, it will probably be late but I as hoping that this will not occur. If anyone is planning on sending le saterial I would appreciate receiving it by the first week of Septeiber. Melva J. Dwyer, Editor 2?7o McBride Avenue Surrey. S.C.
