Worthen In passing, and with due regard to the time-honoured Shakesperian cliche about "What's in a Name?", it should be noted that the recent introspec­ tive deliberations of the Committee on "B & B" may be said to have had an LJ. effect on our own Association. Now that the Museum is nearly three years old, it has been qe­ cided to establish• in both official languages of Canada, the proper corporate name of our Museum. While the Museum at Delson, Q,uebec has been graced with several "official" titles during its infancy, now that it is growing up, the following official title has been designated as being THE one: Canadian Railway Museum - Musee Ferroviare Canadien. The device which is shown above is the official symbol of the Canadian Railway Illuseum - Musee Ferroviare Canadien, and will ap­ pear on all communications media, as well as on signs, displays and other public notices at the Museum and elsewhere. Members are urged to refer to the Museum by its proper title, so as to avoid confusion in the minds of the public. We hope that our new symbol will become as Vlell-known as other modern corporate symbols, which ar.e a familiar sight fro21 coast to coast. ]nformation, plea~e!
