ager of the Icelandic Canadian magazine.
magazine from the beginning and has
now entered into a contract with the
Magazine Board for the work entailed
in the circulation and printing of the
magazine. John Samson entered the
printing business in 1928.
John Samson, who is an ex-alderman
of the City of Winnipeg and served on
the Winnipeg Police Commission for
three years, has acquired experience in
public relations work which will prove
to be a distinct asset to the Magazine
Board.
Two new members are on the editor-
ial staff, John Harvard and D. H.
Bergman.
John Harvard is with the C.J.O.B.
Broadcasting station of Winnipeg. He
has a clear radio voice and a pleasant
TV appearance and has a promising
future in this rapidly expanding call-
ing. In an address at the Icelandic
Canadian Club Dinner and Dance last
spring, he properly emphasized that
he was a Canadian and “had a respon-
sibility to spread the spirit of Can-
adianism”. He, however added: “We
haven’t forgotten our past”, and “our
responsibility to offer and pass along
what was contributed to us.”
David H. Bergman obtained his
Bachelor of Science degree in Biology
in 1963 from the University of Mani-
toba. He took his undergraduate work
at Brandon College, now the Univer-
sity of Brandon, where his parents re-
sided at that time. He taught biology
in Brandon College for a while and
then accepted a position in the Depart-
ment of Biology at United College,
now the University of Winnipeg where
he is at the present time.
David Bergman is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Norman S. Bergman, formerly
of Brandon and now of Winnipeg,
and grandson of Mrs. Emily Bergman
and the late Mr. Justice Hjalmar A.
Bergman.
While on the subject of change it

ments.
Reference has on former occasions
been made to a quarterly published
in English in Reykjavik. It was origin-
ally called “The Iceland Review” but
now the name is “ “Atlantica and Ice-
land Review”. The change in name
is significant. This quarterly seeks to
reach across the Atlantic and in that
way it is on common ground with The
Icelandic Canadian which, during the
years, has established contacts, primar-

as well.
