have a clue as to what the
program was about. 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. Jefferson
were the guests Sunday of Mr. &
Mrs. Wm. Laidlaw of London.

Batt'n around
—Continued from page 4
citizen can do now may be
divided into two areas.
1. 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!!

needed four), a microphone and
a camera.
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.
