"THIS IS CANADA"
There is a man in New York
City whose voice is as familiar
to vast numbers of people as
their .premium loaded breakfast
cereals.
He walked into the room
where 1 was sitting wearing a
tweed fedora and carrying a
large black umbrella hooked
eft
over his larm.. These were
the two g aceoutrements that.'
marked Peter Roberts as a dis-
tinst individualist. Otherwise
his Madison Avenue attire, gray
flannel suit, well polished shoes.
and string tie of a subdued
shade,. put him in the class
with every other successful
Nem Yorker.
Peter Roberts lives an almost
ideal life from the view point
of a freelancer. Up with the
birds every morning to make
his regular morning newscast
over WOR, one of the best
known radio stations in the
United States, he has -the rest
of the day to develop other
lucrative ideas including his
five-minute tape,. "This is
Canada."
The idea for these -recordings
popped into his head about five
years ago when he met Joe
Fountain, CN's Public Relations
representative in Rockefeller
Centre. He submitted his first
outline which was accepted by
Mr. Fountain as an excellent
feature. Five minute discs are
now pressed and later retaped
for distribution among the priv-
ately owned stations through-
out the US. They have proved
as popular as his newscasts, not

contribution of his toward, fam-
iliarizing Americans ' with this

stations including the Armed

•
Peter Roberts was born in
Montreal and educated at Bi-
shop's University, Lennoxville.
Twenty years •ago he travelled
south of the border for health
reasons and five years ago he
became an American citizen.
There is more than one rea-
son for Peter Roberts' success,
but chief among them I would
say, is . his delightful sense of
humor. During _our interview
and luncheon' together in the
Mayan Room, Rockefeller Cen-
tre, when he came to relating
his experience .in,-.beeeming . an:.
American citizen, his humor
shone through the conversation
like beacon. "I think I got
my c tt izenship easier than any
alien has ever done. When the
presiding judge in his routine
questioning asked me why I
wanted to become an American
and I said - I had been married
in Williamsburg to an American
girl, he dropped his line of
official questioning and delved
into the merits of marriage in
that historic village. He pre-
sented me with my new nation-
al status and, even escorted me
to the elevator. The judge, you
see, was going to be parried in
three weeks himself and the
fact of saving time and money
only because of the vocal scenic '""T:

The*Art Of Salesmanship
Peter .13oberts' oldest account
is with the Bell Telephone Com-
pany. He• started spot an,
notincements for this concern
in 1943. pe said Ime of the
toughest:assignments. he ever
had was during the war, when
he pleaded with people not to
use their telephones to excess
any to stay on their party lines
rather than apply for single
service,, Now • his chief objec-
tive is promoting answering ser-
vice for the company.
This flexibility of projection
from pleading with people not
to use their telephones to to-
day's high pressure salesman-
ship for transmitting for which,
the Bell is noted, is indickive
of Peter Roberts' genius. If we
must lose such a citizen to the
United .States,.it-is,_ gratifying
that he uses much of his ability
in promoting his native land.
CUCUMBER KING
Record so far this /year for
long cucumbers went this week
to Amos Osbaldeston of Park
street who brought to The
Signal -Star office a specimen
measufing just over nineteen -
and -a -half inehes in length. On
the other hand, the record for
fat cukes is held up to date by
Amos Andrew, who had in his
possession a specimen that
weighed just under two pounds,
while being less than ten inches
in length.
