In the first known appointment of a journal- iSt to the north, CBC has named Ken Mason their new Arctic cor- respondent. We have been seeing Ken Mason on the CBC news shows for years; he joined the CBC News Service in Edmonton in 1961 and in 1962 moved to Ottawa where for the past ten years he has kept us abreast of happenings in Par-' liament. He has covered many assignments in the north but only for brief periods of time; now the north will be his headquarters. Mason is 41 and was born in Edmonton. His wife is also a former Edmonton resident. They have a 16 -year-old daughter. Home base will still be Ottawa; after all, how do you break the news to your wife and daughter, that you will, be living near the North Pole`? - William Cunningham, CBC's top man in the news, explains that the appointment was prompted by Canada's growing development of the Arctic and its increasing importance in national and international af- fairs.

He is a native of London here in Ontario, worked for a number of Ontario radio and TV stations before joining the CBC in 1963. He has covered many national and international events, though this is his, first permanent foreign posting. He; his wife Mary and five-year-old son . are making By Vonnr Lee their home in Russia. A dream of 25 years came true for Tom Earle when he was transferred to London to become the CBC's man there. Much of his work has taken him to northers} Ireland to report on the happen- ings there. Not exactly my idea of a dream come true; how about you? The day after one- of his visits to Belfast, the hotel where he had been staying, was blown up. But these guys take all this in their stride; they are dedicated newsmen who are there to get a stony and they get it! Born in Montreal, Earle joined the CBC in 1953 and for 16 years he was chief reporter in Ottawa. He spent part of last winter in London but confessed he, missed Ottawa in the winter. We'll re- member that and ship him some clean snow next winter, just to make him feel at home! Earle has had a great deal of experience reporting in foreign lands as he has covered several events in Europe, Asia and Africa. He, his wife, and two teenage daughters live in Lon- don. One thing most of these news- men have in common: they are bilingual, in some cases, speak three or more languages. So if the exciting life of a journalist appeals to you kids, study those languages; in twenty years you could be reporting to us from Paris! 0-0-0 If the life of a roving reporter isn't exciting enough, try saddle bronc riding and become a pro- fessional cowboy. British Colum- bia's Kenny McLean is the real • thing; he holds five saddle-bronc and three cowboy championships to prove it. But it's no easy life. t His story is told in a NFB special _ next Wednesday 49th) on the CBC at 10 p.m. It will follow him • to rodeos and stampedes in Can- ada and the U.S. and show the skill that won him so many honors. It will be exciting viewing and maybe, for awhile, make us stop complaining about our 'hard days at the office'. by ANGUS SHORTT Ducks Unlimited.
