HAROLD TOWN-Bonino, 7 West 57th. A Canadian, Town, 40, brushed his way to international fame without ever leaving his native Toronto. In his new works, a visual war is waged on canvas as white cuts color, black fights for attention and space, and shapes bounce around like boomerangs. Through...
...still in South Bend, Ind., but its best-known operation and at least some of its hopes are in Hamilton, Ont., where Studebaker's auto division moved last year after losing $50 million since 1959. Studebaker is more of a mite among mammoths than ever, but its Canadian auto plant is a going concern. Last week, addressing a meeting of Studebaker dealers in Boston, Studebaker of Canada President Gordon Grundy announced that the plant's production is sold out through November, added that 1964 sales were near the break-even point...

Quebec City was an armed camp. On roads leading into the French Canadian provincial capital, police flagged down motorists and searched their cars. The airport and railway station swarmed with plainclothesmen. On the cliffs overlooking the St. Lawrence River, khaki-clad Canadian army troops took their positions while Navy frogmen ran a final check for mines in the dock area of Wolfe's Cove. Yellow police barricades lined the city streets, and knots of helmeted riot police stood ready. Their orders were clear: all demonstrations were banned...
