Or that nobody else did. I was just another victim of a new game invented by the owners of cable television. These companies are highly sought after as a means of minting your own money. But the CRTC is leaning on them and suggesting that they pro duce some thing besides money for the owners; namely, some local "Canadian content." Our local cable company is in the forefront. It has managed to get itself a television channel, and is turning out Canadian content. Ninety percent of it, so far, is time signals and the weather report. But it has also produced several shows. It doesn't really matter what they are, as long as they don't cost anything. So I've decided to cut short what promises to be an enriching life as a television performer. Fear of over-exposure. Here's the way it went, as a warning. A chap I knew called and asked if I would appear on' a panel discussion about education. I agreed. A student I knew was also to he on, plus another moderator. We arrived at the studio on time. It consisted of a room about 10 feet square in the farmhouse beside the cable tower. A table, three chairs (we family and Mrs, J. R.

Political pressure — support Murray Gaunt in his campaign to tax, the non-returnable beverage container, or, better still, to have it banned. 2. Economic pressure — do not buy non-returnable beverage containers. Urge your friends to boycott them as well. Tell your supermarket manager that you want pop in returnable bottles. If he is nonchalant or recalcitrant, threaten to take all your custom to a supermarket that stocks returnables — and mean it! This may seem a small issue, but if the aware consumer can gain a victory here, future battles may be easier to win. Available statistics indicate that if all bottles were non-returnable, each of us would throw away 350 each year — almost a bottle a day. When you throw a non-returnable soft drink bottle in the garbage you are throwing away five cents, and you are exacerbating the solid-waste disposal problem. If someone else dumps such a bottle at the roadside, he is creating a health hazard, for people and for tires, is creating visual pollution, and is increasing your taxes by the amount it costs for the Department of Highways to come and pick up the bottle (probably much more than five cents). Let's outlaw no-deposit bottles. Let's raise deposits to five cents. LET'S DO IT! NOW!! Mrs. Jack Galloway, Mrs. Doug Galloway and Mrs. Harvey Andrews.

Two technicians were there, watching TV. They'd never heard of us. They called the manager, back in town. He'd forgotten about the show. He finally arrived. borrowed a chair from the farmer and we did the dull show. Cold. It was shown a week later. Now, I'm not knocking the whole idea. This sort of thing would be great for a small town, where all sorts of interesting things happen. And there's lots of talent around. But the cable companies had better forget about how many hours of "local" content they can point to on their books, and start spending some money on trained personnel, good equipment, and organization, or the whole thing will be just another farce to slide around the rules and save money. Two recent examples of what I'm talking about: On one show, we watched five or six buses draw up to a local school , and the kids, one by one, get out. Fascinating eh? Ten minutes. On another, we watched the residents of an old people's home for about 10 'minutes, sitting in rows, facing the camera, waiting for "the show" to begin. Crass, if not cruel. But it shows on the books as Canadian content. If it doesn't improve rapidly, it's just a con game, and should be exposed as such.
