It is hard to remember if ra- dix, when it first came into pop- ular use and the family had to take turns with the ear -phones, ;had so much difficulty getting organized as television is hav- ing. There seems to be so much controversy over who is going to control the new medium of ent- ertaintnent in Canada that the producers are ignoring that TV is still very immature and that there is a tendency to follow public taste on its downhill run, instead of trying to elevate the standards of entertainment Of course, television should not be blamed entirely for this, Competition in radii) has: for a loiig time forted entertainers to resort to gimmics. The public Wants something different every-, time it tunes in, The dance bands have given up playing just straight tunes and it is cliff - these days to hear a favourite piece of music without bubbling rhythm, cowbells or zithers -- - just to identify the band, to make it stand out for a fleeting mom- ent from all the others. And having achieved the purpose of attracting the ear, the music rushes on to the next gimmick. Television has added to back- ground paraphernalia, and nov- elty tunes from "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to that "Doggie in the Window" song have got to be presented in a setting of pretty girls•, sound effects and other noises, It proves one of two things - - either the quality of radio and TV entertainment is turnable to stand on .its gown,. or the public has" lost its desire to think, 1 i "Trent Frayre said recently it a Canadian magazine article that Tom Thompson, the Canadian artist, was inconspicuous during his lifetime, although it has often been erroneously said that he fouuded the famous "Group of Seven". Shortly after Thompson was drowned, while painting in the Northland in 1917, every school child learned about a new tree called the "Jack Pine". Many of them even though the wond- erful picture was painted by a man named Jack Pine, so little was Thompson known at that time ; , It was a wonderful painting, and it is now worth about $12,000 The lohely Tom Thompson has at last -come into his own. There can be no question that change has worked its miracles in Canada in the first half of this century. But there is still threaded through the culture of the Canadian people certain el-. ements by which this nation will always be held somewhat apart froth every other. Resistance to change is unique in the Western World, but where it does not prevent progres's it is the mark of maturity. So one man thought. "`As. long as .I live, as long as I have power to use in the ser- vice Of my,courtry, I shall repel the idea of changing the nature of its different elements. I want the marble to remain marble; I want the granite to remain gran- ite; I want the oak to remain the oak; I want the sturdy Scotchman to remain the Scotchman; I want the brainy Englishman to remain the Englishman; I want the warm-hearted Irishman to re- main the Irishman.." No doubt the speaker wanted the gracious Frenchman to re- main the )Frenchman, biecadse he was himself a French-Canadian named Wilfrid Laurier, He made that speech in Nova Scotia in 1900. Joseph Wecbsberg, a man •of many parts who has been, in his 45 ysoinething of a sailor, or , musician, lawyer, and gourmet, is the author .of a book on the last of these talents which is called "Blue Trout and Black Truffles". Though lie has been llyigg in Connecticut he plans to settle in Italy (Piot necessarily on the proceeds of his book) writing in one of the four languages be speaks thinly. He first went to California from Europe in 1939 and spoke then a little pidgin English, but not very much. Determined to learn both to speak and to write it, Mr, Wecbsberg knew he was doing alright when the dialogue of his dreams was in English, Good eating is partly the thesis of this book, and the auth- or considers France to have the best cooking. When you are traveling and eating, he says, you should not try for imitations of foreign foods; Eat the things of the country you are in. He has reason to say this as one of the curious things about Americans and Canadians traveling in Eur- ope is that they spend hundreds: of their dollars to have a differ- ent experience and they spend three-quarters of their time looking for restaurants) special- izing in the kind of food they get at home. Mr. Wechsberg says to drink the local wine, but adds that there is nothing better than a glass of milk. For the short time that Etienne de Silhouette (1709-67) was France's minister of finance he did remarkably well to preserve his name for posterity. He tried energetically enough to replenish the treasury which had been exhausted by costly wars with Britain _end Prussia, but some of the strict measures of economy which he imposed associated his name with any - Kinsmen Club of Clinton PRESENT THEIR 2nd ANNUAL CARNI `i AL nd .AI STR AY.
