. Ten. years ago a letter to the
editor .appeared in ThQ Toronto
Telegram complaining about
Front Page Challenge. “I feel
compelled to drop you a line to
see what, if anything, can be
done to have the program kept
off TV screens.”
.About the same time a tele
vision reviewer wrote in his col
umn: “W.e- think disaster 'is not
far off,”
i Originally planned as a sum-
mer replacement, “Challenge” is
currently celebrating its 10th
season on CBC-TV.
The original panel consisted
of Alex Barris, Scott Young,
Toby- Robins, and Gordon Sin-,
clair. Moderator was Wiin Bar
ron.. x -•
After the first 13 weeks, Fred
Davis became the moderator;
Pierre Berton was signed “ up;
Gordon Sinclair arid Toby
Robins stayed, and guest panel
fats Were .introduced for
show. A few years later,
left for England and her
was taken up

panel that has
ever since.

such diverse and pewswioritihy
people as: Harold- Wliilson,
Gypsy Rose Lee,. Gordie Howe,
Eleanor Roosevelt, Gyoucho
Marx, Mary Pickford, George

The first program in 1967
featured Sir John A. Macdonald

Christie) and Prime’ Minister
Pearson- — the first time a cur

peared on Front Page. Chal

Sinclair, the s'ole original
panelist, never missed an ap
pearance .until his illness last
fall. He is now back — first re
turning as a “mystery guest” in
December thus gliving his -fellow

all about the money he makes.

The world’s most famous
television policeman ■ will soon
be back on TV — and the only
thing new about him will be
the fact that he has' been die--
moted.
Jack Webb, star *and producer
of the new half-hour, colour
Dragnet series, says that Joe
Friday Will be the* sarnie man’
the fans enjoyed during the
series’ prize-winning days of the
’50s.
But when the series went off
the air in .1959, Joe Friday had
been promoted to lieutenant.
He’ll drop back down to ser
geant in the new series. .
“Having Joe Friday as a
lieutenant • was a mistake. It
limited us. too much,” explains
Webb, a stickler fori reality.
“The sergeants .are the guys
who do the questioning and the
leg work — and’that’s what' I
want Friday to be. doing, so
there goes’ his promotion.”
“People are' more interested
in law enforcement today than
they ever have been in the
past,” says Webb. “We'- will
show them- how it is actually
done —- with no ‘poetic license’
and no convenient gunfights to
solve the story.”

Friday;
BY DOROTHY BARKER
I think one of the most frus
trating experience^ is ip not
being able to challenge a state
ment made by a person being
interviewed on television. Or,
as in the- case I am about to
relate, an opportunity to cor
rect the irrterviewef. ’
A charming .continental,- a
young woman born and raised
in Berlin, .Germany, who has
choSen Canad'a as her adopted
country’ recently returned (to
the Jand of her birth. The early
trend pf her interview on’ a
noontime broadcast was the
fact that there has been no
publicity,on thie European Con
tinent for. Dxpo 67. ' She safid
she had visited as many tourist
bureaus during, her summer va
cation as it was possible to
contacj;, but in not one had she
‘ found ■ any literature whatever
promoting pur World Exhi
bition In several though she
found ,CN brochures outlining
the advantages of travel by rail
in .Canada. She contended this
country is missing a bet in not
organizing bus and rail tours
to attract Europeans to our
shores, during our centennial
celebrations. . . •
Elwood Glover,’ well known
TV network personality) con
tended' 'Canadians are not in
terested in travel which mlilght
aepount for the fact that they,
are not tour .conscious. I want
edto climb right into my TV
set and quote a recent para
graph from the Washington
Daily News which read: “It
may’ come as a shock to some
United States citizens but they
are not the world’s ‘traveling-
est'- people. Statistics reported
by ASTA -Travel News, publi
cation of the American Society,
of Travel Agents, reveals . that
a much higher percentage of
the Canadian- population takes
foreign trips. ‘ '
Canadians spend $35.20 per
capita bn travel, which is dose
to four times the $9.70 spent
by US citizens.”
Should Know Own Country
Mr. Gloverasked his guest
if, during her ’ travels, across
. Canada she had met many Can
adians. His remark was that
few-had ever travelled outside
the 'environs of their own pro
vince. CNR's outgoing President
Donald Gordon, however, has'
contended that Canada’s pub
licly. owned' railway passenger
services Will be a paying propo
sition by 1971. Tourists from
outside our country cannot
make it come true. Canadians
must contribute a large part of
this expected revenue.
I cannot argue about Expo
67 publicity abroad'. I. know
its public relations department

,haye bear'd during the coffee
hour in the lounge,, cars of
transcontinental trains, that
Canadian passengers, as against
the tourists, number •ait' least
five to one.'
Travel agents, who dp pro
mote tours, haven’t any time to
lose if they want to benefit
from the attraction of Expo 67.
The point made by this broad
cast was that Europeans have
a habit of making their travel
plans well in advance. I‘must
commend this young lady for
her interest in Canada and con
cern for Expo’s attendance. She

Canadian citizenship is award
