There is no way of knowing what breed he is, but Ginger's writings show re- markable knowledge of world af- fairs. 1.1 Ginger was speaking recently of his friend. Slim Bliggins, who made an attempted visit to the Excited States of America, How- ever• the customs officials sus- pected him of leftist tendencies, and Slim had to admit that he parted his hair on the left, and sometimes used his left hand to wield his knife. This, coupled with the fact that he signed his name with his left hand, was enough to keep him out of the Excited States. El CI Ginger consoled his friend Slim with the remark, "I just heard on the radio yesterday that some of- ficials don't want Winston to speak in Congress because he is so outspoken, They are worried that he might frighten some of their congressmen," El But Slim was still a bit dis- gruntled, "They don't went him to speak 'cause he's outspoken, eh? Any speaker what ain't out- spoken must be some speaker. "Who's to talk about bein' out- spoken, if it isn't an American, I ask ya anyways." El El We spent a very interesting evening on Monday attending Town Council meeting, along with a total of 14 townspeople besides members of council, and were very interested in the proceedings there. Certainly the men that Clinton taxpayers have chosen to manage their business are interested and able. At the first meeting of the PETER, of the BACK SHOP TIAMSDAY, JAl1T1JARY 15, 1953 THERE SEEMS SUCH A DEARTH of so- called "letters-to-the-editor" published in news- papers the country over! We read in several of the local weekly papers that people of late seem more than a bit backward about coming forward with their own ideas concerning the WayS' of our Canada, the doings of council, and the state of things generally, Truly, it is easy enough to cast an eye over the pages of The CLINTON NEWS- RECORD, and note that these "letters-to-the- editor" are conspicuous in their absence. This, dear readers, ,is not because we are filing your letters. in the wastebasket. Frankly, we just seldom receive such letters. But we do welcome them. We'll promise to publish any and all of the letters you write us, It is possible that you are not completely DURING THE PAST YEAR Canadian citi- zens have watched with mixed feelings the word "Dominion", with reference to the Dominion of Canada, disappear from official documents of various kinds. The reason for this quiet dele- tion of • a term that has been used since Confederation, has been given that it was to prevent a feeling by Canadian citizens that they were being governed directly by a monarchy. We contend that, though this may be a good reason, it is definitely not the democratic way of doing things, to eliminate the term in the almost surreptitious manner in which our Federal Government accomplished it. Sufely on such' a matter an opportunity should have been given for Canadian citizens to voice their ap- proval or disapproval. SCHEDULED TO COME before a meeting in Ottawa of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp- oration's Board of Governors, on January 22 and 2.3, are new regulations which only await approval of that Board before going into effect. Included is a regulation which demands that private radio stations broadcast from 30 to 48 per cent Canadian-produced programs, each day of the week. Originally planned as a nationally owned corporation to provide radio in those parts of Canada, where privately owned stations were not financially able to operate, the, CBC has gradually grown to monopolize the juicy pick- ings from high-paid advertising fields in the largely populated areas, and has used its gov- ernment-given authority to regulate and censor the programs aired by private companies throughout the country. The CBC has the enviable position of being lawmaker, judge and executioner over the pri- vate radio stations of this country, even at the time when it is in direct competition with them. It is operating in the same Situation which would occur if the CNR, a nationally owned railroad, were to set up the rules, rates and policies of the privately owned CPR, and at the same time be free to compete with that railroad. Backed by apparently limitless grants given by our government, taken from taxes collected from us, and radio licenses paid by us, the CBC has been able to produce some excellent. pro- grams. These, however, do not compensate for 4-1-0-10-40-.1104-•-11-410-4•41-1-•-••-•-•.-11-40-1.--11.-•••••-• BRIMFIELD Mr. and Mrs. Hay, Blake, vis- ited with Mr. and Mrs. A. Must- ard.

Mrs. William Hill has returned home after visiting with Mr. and satisfied with the progress of your town or town- ship government; it is possible that you have some suggestion to make concerning the way your school system is being run; it is just pos- sible that you have some comment to make concerning your taxes, or the method of assess- ment, or you may wish to commend a public body for 'a job well done. If such is the case, put your ideas on paper, Whether they are supporting or condemning a particular cause, they will give some help to those responsible when they try to plan municipal affairs. If you should not wish to have your name published with your letters we will comply with your wishes. However, we recently noted a little difficulty arising when a Perth County paper published a letter signed by a penname only. Therefore, we must have your signature on your communication. This all leads us to the observation that in the official title of Her Majesty, Queen Eliza- beth II, she is referred to as "Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada and her other realms' and territories." Since, as our federal auth- orities hold, Canada has ceased being a Domin- ion, it would appear that the wording should have been "and her realms and territories". Else Canada becomes a Territory, or some sort of hybrid Realm and Territory. It may be that we are being dogmatic and over-critical but we feel that when our govern- ment thought enough of proper wording to feel it expedient to rid the nation of the term "Dominion", that this same government could have shown equal efficiency in the wording of Her Majesty's official title. the harm done by the CBC in limiting the expansion of private stations. Although the contention of the CBC is that it is furthering Canadian talent and the culture content of broadcasts, this latest proposal for a minimum of radio time given to Canadian produced pro- grams would not have this effect. There is doubt that Canada could produce good talent to fill the required period of time on radio, so hours would be filled with inferior Productions. With a turn of the knob, radio listeners can and do change to a program they like, and it is inevitable that an increase in the amount of second-rate talent aired by Can- ikdian broadcasters would only result in more 'Canadians listening to United States' broadcasts. Then we would end up paying radio licenses to CBC for the privilege of listening to American programs. Funny, isn't it? But it is deathly serious. If this, with the other regulations proposed by CBC, are passed by its Board of Governors this month, what is to prevent the national art gallery from order- ing which pictures shall be shown in what gal- lery at what time? What is to prevent the national library from setting up regulations governing the number, type, and nationality of books shown in any library in Canada? For that matter, what is to prevent our government from publishing a newspaper in Ottawa, and with backing from taxpayers' money, monopolize big advertising contracts, censor what is print- ed, and order all editors to publish 50 per cent Canadian news?
