Shirley Keller OBITUARIES Clinton News-Record, Thursday, August 31, 1967 T ' Bummer time"’ television ip 1 Canada, at least, is perhaps the saddest excuse for entertain' njent that I can. imagine. It seems to. me that the television stations—especially the CBC— send everyone" on a two-month vacation and leave a stack of filmed reruns to play and Play and play for the audience. I ’suppose the reasoning be­ hind this trend to' rebroadcast everything from Madam Benoit’s ' carrot souffle to Matt Dillon’s shoot-out with the Calico Kid is a belief that the television Viewers take a hot-weather holi­ day from Boob Tube looking. And while it may be abso­ lutely correct that most Cana­ dians are on vacation some time throughout the summer and that some watch less tele­ vision then than at any other seaspn of the yeuhi I wouldn’t wonder if there are more folks like me who enjoy television just as much in July as in Jan- uary-rr-and have more time in the summer to relax with a favorite TV program. . The other night, fpr instance, I pulled' on a comfortable robe, made a pot of tea and headed' for my own soft. chair by the television.. Happened that I • was tuning in at the middle of the program, but that didn’t matter, I soon realized I’d seen the show and even though it was half over, along nicely, . I told myself hour would be ’all, that, show had been a popu­ lar offering and I really didn’t 'mind seeing it again, ‘something like reading a book I could follow the next h^lf better.

Everything can’t please everybody all of the time, I thought, After the commercials (which incidentjy seem io be the (timely bjts on the picture traption) I was elated to note the familiar -theme of the Hob Hope Theatre.

Just two minutes into the performance and I knew' the plot' from last winter when 1 was surprised to learn the sec­ retary was the murderer. My kids tell me the daytime shows are re-runs, too. understand, because day- m.OJit con- This V can understand, because day. time viewers are probably dras­ tically cut by swim lessons, golf, sun bathing,: shopping, visiting, appointments, chores, strolling and similar activities that go on in’ a normal household. ’. Come evening, though, when all the spendable dollars are gone after vacation; when the kids are in bed and the phone is silent; when the drapes are drawn and the evening is cool, I’ll take bets that a large per­ centage of the Canadian popu­ lation is at home with their feet up in front of their 'idiot' boxes waiting in vain to be en­ tertained. Advertisers should know that- most viewers are intelligent enough to remember a program they have seen before. If they haven’t seen it, chances are they don’t look at much tele­ vision even in the peak peering months. And since the public pays for their television entertainment—• ■either directly or indirectly — surely We have a right to de­ mand more than repeats of a show which was loo bad to last more than one third or fourth helping of a program which was good but grows stale after’ five years. Just a thought. With, Canadian talent moving south of the border to work, why not begin a campaign to provide these youngsters jobs during vacation and viewers schedule of summer? season,or a with a brand programs More C.C donations totalled with home new next forNew donations received the Community Centre Build, ing Fund pushed the total re. ceived to date to $43,097,10.
