The Seaforth News, 1938-07-14, Page 3THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1938 THE SEAFORTH NEWS PAGE THREE George Taggart .Returns :Returning to Canada after ,six months study of 'broadcasting meth- ods in England and on the Continent, and as guest of BBC, George A. Tag- gart, OBC ,programme .cxeoutive, is convinced that the present system of nationalisation is the only logical so- lution for the radio problems of this country. "I personally feel that Canadians do not want a ,facsimile of any individual system," he told reporters who niet him on his ai+rivial from New York where be ddsemlbarlced from ,the liner Queen Mary. ''Canada is sufficiently individualist and original to wish to (build a system which is thoroughly 'Canadian in character," he said, Mr. Taggart, exchanging places with Laurence Gillian of BEC, who recently returned to 'England after being for six 'months a guest of CBC, and vwho is the first 'Canadian to go abroad on the new exchange basis 'be- tween the two systems, believes that Canada has a wealth of programme material worthy of internationallbroad- casting. '"NIy study of British and Eu- ropean ib•roadcastiang methods," he said, "confirms a previous .conviction I had that CSC' is wase •in. concentrat- ing on the interpretation of the dis- tinctive personality of Canada and at the same time talking of the (best in programmes from 'other countries. The general impression abroad is that CBC' has already become a potent fac- tor in furthering better relations broth within the B:r'tisit 'Commonwealth and in the world at large." Paying great tribute to the •effici ency of the BBC Mr. Taggart adtnir- edthe freedom that is enjoyed by it from private and political interfer- ence. "The 'world's ,greatest broadcast- ing system" is Mr. Taggart's sum- ming up of the ,DBC. During his stay in England Mr. Taggart made a special study of lat- est developments in television at Broadcasting House where a regular Idaily service of talks and programmes and Gaum•ont-British news reels is .provided. He believes, however, that the time is far distant 'before it will be possible to present television to the mass public. "Television," he stated, "will never seriously affect straight sound !broadcasting, simply because if put into dull time use it rovou'ld con- sume in a month programme dare equal to an entire year's film release from the Hollywood studios. The gen- eral feeling in England is that tele- vision will be used primarily for actu- ality broadcasting such as the Derby, the Henley Regatta, and great Ares such as Crystal Palace." Mr. Taggart concluded by saying that in his 'opinion BBC is performing the service of Empire 'broadcasting efficiently and with dignity in' a way that cannot help 'but build up and maintain the oonfidence and respect of listeners. They Found the Fishing Good Bob Bowman, Director Of Special Events of OBC, Roy Cahoon, chief engineer, 'Percy 'Field, assistant 'engi- neer, andGraham McInnes, commen- tator, who constitute the crew of the Corpora'tion's Mobile `'Unit No. n', now at Banff doing a series of special sound pictures of the !National Parks, know what it is like really to catch fish. The easterners, who are ac- quainted with every reed( and cranny 'Of the Rideau, Gatineau and Kawar- tha Lakes districts have come to the conclusion that the piscatorial 'fight- ers of the lakes, near Banff Springs Hotel are in a class by themselves. "Rainbow, ,cuthroat and big eastern brook trout are in abundance," •Roy, writes "Along the Air Waves." "Bart you should meet Bill Mdtc'h•eltree. 13011, who is one sof the most widely known and colorful guides of the dis- trict and who is a friend of hundreds of fishermen from ,all parts of the con- tinent who come 'here for recreation, actually 'can catch ,fish to schedule and can produce trout when the pressure. is on. We had him catching trout for one of the fishing sequences a 'few days ago," continues 'Roy. .":He sent i110 foot casts snaking over Lake Ver- million and snared two beauties weighing close to three pounds each. Each 'fish was caught at the precise moment for the recording and the sound of the fight at the surface and the actual landing in, the net was pick- ed up." .'Corp.oration Features 'D'ay By Day.
