One of the most excited persons when the first trailer from Custom Trailers Ltd. was ready for
delivery was Mrs. George Hall, Kapuskasing. Reason was that she and her husband were the
buyers of the first unit, and both were pleasantly surprised at the attractive trailer, as were
local officials who viewed the home. Mrs. Hall is shown above conducting C. V. Barrett, left,

ple has to accept some of the
tripe to use that expre ssio n,
which is put over the C.B.C.
networks and which is certainly
a cause of embarrassment to
many people, I do not know.
I cannot understand the at-
titude of the management of the
Canadian Broadcasting Cor-
poration in permitting this sort
of thing to continue. I think that
one incident where, according
to accepted standards, an im-
proper and indecent program is
broadcast by the C.B.C. is suf-
ficient for the severest discip-
linary measures to be taken
against the producers of such
programs. I do not know where
we can start except at the top
of the C.B.C., not at the bottom.
The producers all the way
down to the bottom of the ladder
should have a thorough under-
standing that this far out type
seems unable to take care of it.
Certainly something should be
done, I think when we are con-
sidering granting the govern-
ment further interim supply,
during which time we have the
right to raise grievances and
demand recourse, is a suitable
time to impress upon the
government the fact that this
sort of broadcasting and pro-
gramming must be stopped.
Perhaps we all believe in
freedom of taste, but within
reason. We do not believe in
unrestricted freedom of taste.
If we followed that reasoning
where would it lead us? It
would lead us to the fringe of
lunacy, indecency, immorality
and everything that acom-
panics those things. Let us
believe in freedom of taste, yes,
but within reason. The C.B.C.
has exceeded the limits of rea-
son by some of its recent pro-

illusion.
Some of the things we could
do as positive alternatives were
suggested by the following edi-
torial I read this summer in the
London Free Press entitled,
"Is Moon Trip Worth The
Price".
"The Ranger program has al-
ready cost the U.S. $200 million
with an eventual budget of $40
billion. For the astronomical
sums to be spent on space ex-
ploration the U.S. could obliter-
ate the ghettos of Harlem and
rehabilitate every major city.
Poverty could be eradicated;
education and public health
could be subsidized. Schools and
hospitals and homes for the aged
could be built where they are
needed. But none of these is an
exciting program . . . Human
nature being what it is a couple
of astronauts will be camping on
the moon while millions of
Americans are existing in filth
and despair."
With that rather devastating
comment I rest my case.
commentt or criticism will be wel-
comed. Write PO Box 31 ,Exeter
of program, which may be ac-
ceptable to a very small minor-
ity of Canadians, is found to
be objectionable and embarras-
sing by the average viewer of
television. I say that the C.B.C.
should know better than to
broadcast this type of program
and everyone in the organization
should understand that.
_ If ever there was a subject
that was not fit for showing in the
living rooms of homes in Can-
ada it is the Kinsey report, yet
we have producers who think
that this sort of things is good
for public showing. I should
like to stress again the point
that there is an element in the
C.B.C. that is going too far.
It is going beyond the point of
acceptability by the Canadian
public.
The former government was
unable to rectify this situation
and the 'present government
grams.
Again we have this suggestion
that there is something for
everyone and freedom of taste.
This freedom should not go
beyond the point of reason and
acceptability, but the C.B.C.
has gone beyond that point.
Mr, Chairman, I do not think
I need say anything further in
this regard. I hope I have made
my point clear and that the gov-
ernment will do something about
this situation, There is a prob-
lem in this regard, but surely
if the present management of the
C.B.C. does not understand the
standards of acceptability in
Canada today, changes should be
made in that management:
