LETTER TO THE EDITOR What is Brussels Doing
WhIghanai Put About Centennial
:January 441, 1907 Activities This 'Year?
IirtisSele BOA
Brussels, Ontario
Dear Sir:
This letter is in roPlY to
lig4n in your Paper
Deeember 8th and
°Gentlemen's Club News Items".
I am a firm believer in the free-
dom of expression, but T think
Ii person should be aware of the
facts before he makes rash and
and rather rude statements. Also.
he should know to whom he
should direct his criticisms be-
fore be does so. In the case of
the comments concerning the
performers of Circle s Ranch,
this criticism should have been
to the producer of the show who
is in charge of talent, fees,
content, and the overall present-
ation Hof a show, not the perform-
ers themselves. To the writer of
the column T would suggest, he
acquaint himself better with the
operation of a television station
before he makes any more rash
statements.
His comments regarding the
use of local talent are totally
without Justification. It you
watched our New Year show,
sett would have noticed a long
list of performers who have
appeared in the past Year alone,
and that list was by no means
complete.
OKNX has always been proud
of the fact that it has started.
Many now famous performers,
Al Cherney and Tommy Hunter,
jest to mention two, The per-
sonal attack on Mr. Leybourne
wes oncalled for, and in very
poor taste. Mr. Leyhourtie 'ap-
pears in person perhaps once
every two or three months. The
rest of the time his job consists
mainly of contacting local dance
groups, preparing them, for TV
and getting theni to the Station.
T. for one am, truly gratefill for
his assistance.
There were a couple of other
eoMments :made. hat T. feel they
do not require' an explanation,
heearise f cannot iin all good faith,
take them. seriously,
Let me say this in closing, Circle
S Retie-ft iS unique in television,
to-day, It is perhaps not as pol-
ished and professional as Some
other shows, but I feel that the
sincerity and lionesit, effort of
the entire group has over the
years made an impact on the
Viewers of this area to Whielt
'few other shows can lay claim.
'We at fICNX are always open
conStructive but let
