At times in this column we
have been quite vehement in our eondenanation of felines pf any

, al amn edn twi oen bienllecrisef tvhoevrre .of as
certain Siamese named Cleopatra.
We have lately, however, been
quite interested in the writings of
a cat named Ginger, There is no
way of knowing what breed he is,
but Ginger's Writings show re-
markable knowledge of world. af-
fairs;
IE EIJ
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
sometirhes 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.
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."

But Slim was still a bit dis-
gruntled, "They don't want 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."

We spent a very interesting
evening on Monday attending
Town Council meeting, along with
a total of 14 townspedple 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
year, they managed to run through
a good deal of business in an ef-
ficient manner,. We predict that
the taxpayers are apt to be A bit
outspoken when they face the 17-

THERE SEEMS SUCH A DEARTH of so-
called "letters-to-the-editor" published in news-
papers the country overt 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 ideps concerning the
wayg• of our Canada, the doings of council, add
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, 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, Suf'ely 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 23, 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
the,
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

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-
Oxlian 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?

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
The following is a quotation
from the "Christian Century" of
January 14, "If it is true that 40
per cent of all Americans over 14
years of age do not drink at all--
that's the figure usually given- —
the remaining 60 per cent must be
stowing away more than a pint
every day. One need not be a
bluenose to be exercised at such a
disclosure. Nothing less than the
future of the nation is threatened.
It is time for a great effort to
promote personal total abstinence.
What the nation needs in its citi-
zens to-day is clear minds and
steady nerves. Few who are put-
ting away a pint of liquor a day
can have either, Teetotaller there-
fore becomes another word for
"patriot."
