Canadian television has come
up with another first. 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.

Bob Evans and he covers events
not only in the Soviet Union bu
also in Eastern and Central Eur
ope. 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

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!

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'.
