All this time the .citizens of. the

TOO MUCH CBC
ThOUgh our legislators appear to
believe that the existence of the CBC
is vital to the welfare of thiS nation
there are times when we, personally,
have our doubts. One evening last
week television viewers were treat-
ed • to about two hours of football
frOth Western Canada. NO doubt,
' :thOseWha. 'Ire real foraball entims2-:
lasts were delighted. Not so the
somewhat larger segment of the
PoPulation ,kvho don't give two hoots
in Hades about football, be it west-
ern or eastern style. —
Though we have had no inforina-
tiOn from the local station on the
Matter we hh,r that , one of the
shdivs which was set aside Jo let the
foOtball _game onto the seteen was
the:Parra Forum, plannedwe4s ago
and scheduled at this, partienlat time
bY the`station and the 'CBC. PerL
sonallY we resented the fact that the
late, evening- news, one of our prime
reasons :for haying a television set
in the' house, was over-ridden by
football. •
When one of these special occas-
ions ariSes the CBC simply tells the
private stations what they
carry, regardless of how much in-
formation the station may have on
the preferences of the viewers in
their own area.
No doubt the CBC is necessary—
blit their mandatory attitude is often
pretty sticky in the Canadian craw.
• And when they pull one of these
„last minute switches the entire Do-
minion has to take football—or
switch to an American channel.

CONTROVERSY
It is a long time since any news
story in this paper has brought
forth, as much comment', from the
general' public as the one we carried
last week on `the debate at the meet-
ing of the town council,
All of which proves that people
generally are still intensely interest-

THREE'S A CROWD
There has been much publicity
of late about the likelihood of a -new,
party emerging on the Canadian
scene. Efferts are being rria'de.:::to
merge the political ambitions,of the
CCU' and -the labor unions, s•O -that
strong contention could,: be offered
' to the two eXisting parties.
Dwelling, as we do,'in a demo.-
cratic nation, there is nothing .to
prevent the formation -of such : a
grouping, hut looking about us At
other Countries there are many argil- . - . rnents against support for . a sthird
politica1 flp•rtY, ,The :o ttstartding

the entire iiation lias'tbeen brought
to military:defeat and to .the,,brink
of cornplete„ edonomic and pOlitical
extinction because of a nuatiplicitY
of political groupings.
In. England a third .party -vas
formed many-years ago';and: (hiring
the tithe' when , 'all .:'three'. p'arties
carried":.Oli:tpetiti.ye „Strehgth there
were „many occasions , When,: policy

here in Canada first: term

Back in the days of out- fathers
Sand grandfathers the old-line par:;
ties always hewed to a cleancut line •
of party policy. The Liberals were
free traders while the COnservatives
were protectionists, and so 'on.
Therefore, if the declared' policies of
both parties left evident gaps there
was only, one alternative for the seg-
ment of the population which want-
ed-, something that neither of the
parties offered—a new party was,
then a natter of necessity. Today,
however, both of the major parties
are quite prepared to sponsor what-
ever policy the majority of Ca-
nadians desire. it is simply a matter
of one pa.rty trying to outdo the
other along the same lines.
A CCP-centred party would, of
course, offer one trend which Ca-
nadians have so far disdained—
greater and ever faster strides along
the road to socialism, .,,Many of us
feel that we. are over-socialited now
and therefore lodk upon further
efforts ihat direction with' a
doubtful eye,
