An Excerpt:

Our cover depicts man’s effort and progress in communication – hand –set in five glass mosaic panels over the main entrance.  They were designed by Toronto muralist York Wilson.  There is a panel showing communication by letters and signs which have their origin in both early and present day alphabets.  In another there are symbols and drawings from ancient civilizations representing man’s first attempts to record his native customs.  A third panel depicts communication through music in the form of notes and other musical symbols.  Communication by voice is the feature of a fourth panel and finally, satellites are used to exemplify the role of communications in the age of outer space exploration.
