Owners .3,f private stations in Canada have fought without success for many years to gain some measure of freedom from the control of the government agency and it now seems clear that their struggle has been largely in vain, So far the Caadian Broadcasting Corporation has ' provided, for the most part, a reasonable supdvision.

Energetic, 47-year-pld banker, John Agnew, vice-president of Boston's huge First National, has ideas about city management and puts them to work in a unique way. Agnew has sparkplugged the-Institute of Muni- cipal Management, a school sponsor- ed by his bank and conducted by Northeastern University. The school is described by Karl Detzer in a June Reader's Digest article conden- sed from Banking. Field work for Institute students, with Agnew as instructor, takes prac- tical forms.' Students watch actual municipal work such as sewer-pipe laying, and get first-hand information' from the meri who do it, Three even- ings a ewek they hear lectures on town administration. Students range in age from 18 to 57 and represent all walks of life. ,Tuition is $27.50 a semester. In 14 years, 325 have com- pleted the two-year. course; today 267 of them are city allittlown. officials. The school was depression-born. Boston's First National, holding many defaulted municipal securities, as- signed their young employee, John Agnew, to find out how bankrupt communities got that way. In a year's research, Agnew delved into town books, worked in fire depart- ments, rode garbage trucks. He con- cluded that some towns go broke be- cause their officials, though honest, just don't understand their jobs. Determined to teach good city management, the First National, started a class; grew, Agnew started a class, under Agnew, for its own employees. Later, outsiders were invited; then, as the idea grew, Ag- new enlisted Northeastern University in his cause. Today, in towns run by Institute graduates, notes and. bonds are good as gold—an asset not only to the town but. to any bank with money to lend. any time, the implements for throttling freedom of speech ;by radio will be ready for instant use. Obviously, since the radio has become so much a part 'of every Canadian home, a certain amount of supervision is necessary. It would not be wise to have the air waves loaded with unending trash which would help to produce a :veneration of fools in the nation. Neither would it.be well to ave our Canadian stations loaded too heavily with Am- --eric.an programs, for that would affect our national unity. But we fail to see why the government has any more Tight to license-and control private radio outlets than it has to exercise the same influence over privately owned newspapers. Television will eventually prove to be of tremendous influence on the thought and habits of the people of this country. So far it appears that the CBC will entirely mon- opolize this field. Though there are many arguments, to the contrary, we still believe that private enterprise, subject as it is to the refining influence of competition, provides the 'best service to the public in the long run. We wonder whether radio in Canada might not, in the course of time, turn out very well if it were left to private concerns and the critical support of the general public. Dashwood and Grand Bend. that shows up with startling clarity the ugliness that has Mrs. C. G. Bitton, Mr. and Mrs. accumulated during the snow-bound months. W. G. Bitton and Linda, Miss Bonnie Piles of rubbish, litter on the streets, shabby buildings, gaping fences, utidy gardens, all seem to cry out for some- thing to be done. Homes, too, seem to need the application of good soap and water and elbow grease. It is well then that the urge to do inspires our people at this season for there is much to be done. Small towns in Canada during the past few years have improved remarkably in .appearance, the result of growing community pride. But most of them have a long way to go before the term "beautiful" may be honestly applied to them. What is a beautiful community? One, we would say, which shows the results of tare and hard work, where business places, homes, parks, ,streets, gardens, are maintained with pride and good taste. 'Where flowers and trees are tended with loving care. Where the people take so much pleasure making their community attractive that they work harmoniously to- ether to achieve an end. T-low does our community measure up? Are there shabby, broken down old buildings? Are streets strewn with papers and rubbish? Are lanes heaped high with refuse? Are boulevards allowed to grow rank with grass and weeds knee high? Is street lighting poor? Are business places down at the heels? Are lawns and gardenS unkempt. Do homes and buildings need repair and paint ? if the answer is "yes" to even one of these questions„ there is work to be done. 1 Baker and Jerry Cosgrove, all of Lis- towel, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Reg.

A Tonic for Towns For a Beautiful Community There is something stirring about spring in Canada, a sort of fever that gets into the blood of its people, an urge to be up and doing.
