Although I was jesting about the fact that the flu comes annually and is so obstinate that doctors often simply feel like leaving town for a while until the disease runs course, the doctors felt I was discrediting them and Making, themfout to appear foolish. Yon may or may not remember that I apologized because it had never been my intention to offend anyone, much less the medical men. Well, life goes on„.even at the Keller household where every week I expect calamity will befall us that will put an end to our ,misery.

If I were a broadcaster, I think I'd have more pride in myself than to bellyache in public about the hardships imposed by the new rulings. The opposition to the CRTC move reached a peak last week after two developments. In the first, the CRTC announced more new Canadian content regulations, this time covering cable television. Secondly, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters went before the commission to protest the regulations. The protest amounted to a filibuster, going on for hours with very little of a constructive nature being said and plenty of crying the blues being clone. Both the broadcasters and the cable companies claim that the new regulations will not only break them financially, but are impossible to meet because, they claim, the talent is not available. The bleat of the cable companies revolves around the fact that they will no longer be able to pirate the products of American stations and peddle them to a hungry Canadian market. Under the new regulations, these companies will be forced to initiate some of their own programs and most of them aren't too happy with the prospect, It means the end to the free ride on the gravy train for them. The regulations for ordin'ary broadcasters will cut profits too since ti* C*94 of PrOducineoriginal pi,lokarnWriris lS'Yn'Afethanthe 04 of buying ,American prbgidrriiiihig clumped into the Canadian Market., The commission realized this however, and wasn't about to put all the stations in the country in bankruptcy, so they must consider this feasible. The Association of Canadian' Television and Radio Actors presented-its brief too last week supporting the content regulations and successfully proved that the talent is available if the broadcasters would only get off their rumps and make use of it. So, whether you like it or not, it looks like you can get ready for the new regulations to take effect next year. SPOTLIGHTS: Grant Jones showed some of the talent that won him the award as best actor in the Junior Farmer drama competition at both the county and area level when he performed in the play Cupid's Bow during the Clinton Junior Farmer's Variety Night at Auburn, Friday. Although obviously rusty on his lines and broken up several times by distractions in the audience, he showed good talent.

I know a doctor human with the same hikes and dislikes as anyone else. -But a doctor is also a very Special kind of Person. He is a skilled medicine man upon whom many, many people in the community depend. He isn't dealing in metal pipes and plastic drains like the plumber. He is tending lives, human lives, which may mean everything to many people. Unlike a plumber, a doctor can't ,turn his back on trouble until a more convenient hour, As much as he would like to tell his patient to go jump in the lake, he must check just to be fain that absolutely cer everything ,is right and nothing is hat's the sad seriously wrong. T bothersome truth about his profession. At least that's the way it osed to be. to be—or'is supp Sometimes though, people in need of medical attention on a ften are left doctor's "of day" O to wonder whatever became of the family doctor who really cared about his patients. ' That's why I was so darned pleased to find that our family doctor was sensitive to our needs that Saturday evening. In my opinion, our doctor is a gem who deserves my admiration and respect. In fact, he deserves a special place on 'my list of wonderful people to know...and he has it. used "PARANOIA" Carrel Baker In Color Cartoon Showing at 10.30 p.m. A OMIT? ANCe ,Il t.11 O!

I was prepared for him to give me some static on the matter like not on call , this weekend" or “Diti'YCIu the hospital to see who is on call?" or "Just give him Some aspirins and I'll see him on Monday," Now, before you doctors get on your high horses again (my, it is nice to know that some professional people take time to read this drivel!) you may be interested to know that this is the reaction some doctors in some centres have in the face of an emergency. They seem to reel that their leisure time is entirely their own and that if their patients choose to get sick when it is inconvenient for their physician, then they will simply have to find some other means of coping with the problem. At any rate, I'm happy to say that our family doctor didn't „react in this manner at all. He :'was most congenial, much to my surprise. He urged me to bring our son to him immediately. When he did see him, he was not angry as some doctors seem to be when a patient is very ill. He simply ordered that our son be hospitalized, prescribed the necessary treatment for him and Went back to his home to finish whatever it was that he had begun before he was so rudely interrupted. I am indebted to him. Our son is quite well now and I am completely convinced that, our doctor is a man of integrity: That's worth a great deal to me. I understand that a doctor when we find it rather difficult to adopt to the changes that are , on every hand in our church life in our forms of worship, in our Working and in teaching methods. We were advised to lift up our eyes to new horizons and try to discover what we can do to help those in need: the new corners; the temporary settlers; the neglected, and for our young people, to give theni love and understanding and the sure knowledge that we are with them no matter what error or mistake may have been made.
