Four Out of Five Canadian Homes Have TV Sets; Watch 3.3 Hours Daily Four out of every five Canadian homes—or a total of 3,500,000 Ca- nadians — now own a TV set, Frank Rasky reported, in Liber- ty Magazine today. But, while Ca- nadians used to spend four hours per evening before a TV set, they are now more "selective", and Ca- nadian TV viewing has shrunk to an average of 3.3 hours, In a survey of 200 TV news- paper writers across Canada, Ras- ky found that 90 percent praised the "improved" programming of CBC -TV this season. For the first time, five Cana- dian shows are among top 15 pro- grams most popular with Canadian viewers, according to Elliott -Hay- nes Ratings, Rasky reports. Num- ber one is "Cannonball", followed by "NHL Hockey", "Front Page Challenge", "G.M. • Presents" and "One of a Kind". In an interview with Rasky, Jos- eph Alphonse Ouimet, new ,presi- dent of the CBC's 11 -member board of directors disagrees with Dr. Andrew Stewart, new presi- dent of the CBC's regulatory Board of Broadcast Governors. Dr. Stewart had been asked, "Do you regard TV as a medium of enter- tainment or information?" Dr. Stewart replied, "I would say, in the first place, it's factual. .And then it's interpretive. And then it's entertainment." Ouimet says, "I disagree. We're thoroughly immersed in show heartily welcome Be a clever cupid . . . make your gift to her wonderfully wearable token of your love.

Even on an educational series, like "Explorations", you've got to present fact and interpre- tation in an entertaining way. The great sin is to be dull. To be a good communicator, you've got to be a good showman." Dept. of Transport Issuing Handbook To Help Drivers Ontario drivers, whether newly licensed or with many years' ex- perience, will find much of inter- est or value in a new publication of the Ontario Department of Transport — The Driver's Hand- book. "Safe driving and protection of all who use the streets and high- ways," Hon. .John Yaremko, Min- ister of Transport announces, "is the basis upon which the Hand- book was planned. It has been written clearly and has many il- lustrations, so that all drivers may readily understand its contents. Anyone reading the booklet will agree with the remark in the in- troduction that `.driving an auto- mobile is a full-time job, requir- ing the driver's 'complete atten- tion'." The Driver's Handbook con- tains the latest information and explanationsof the rules of the road, parking, what to do in case of an accident, vehicle equipment and maintenance, how to get and keep a licence to drive, road signs, traffic lights, road markings and recommendations for safe driving under poor or difficult conditions. Questions and answers typical of those asked applicants for licences are also included. It concludes with a description of the Demerit Point System. "The Ontario Department of Transport," said the Hon, Mr. Yar- emko, "will continue to Iook for and put into effect every possible means of making • Ontario streets and highwaysthe safest in the world. The Driver's Handbook is intended to give all drivers the oportunity of re-examining their own driving and making improve- ments where needed for their own and others' safety". The Driver's Handbook may be obtained from any office of the Department of Transport in Ont- ario or by writing the Department at the Parliament Buildings, Tor- onto 2.
