The answer at the mo- ment, according to the cotinVy- Wide business-analysis firm of Sindlinger & Co,, is 6 million more people than, have been watching TV, Is this a summertime freak or growing trend? There is no great meeting of minds in the industry on that answer, but here is what has been happen- ing: Since 1948, when radio was suppoaed to have started dying while its kid brother, TV, was growing, the number of radio stations increased 64 per cent (present number: 3,74.4). At the end of *Tune, '70 million people were listening to radio and the same number were watching TV. 'By July 20, rattle had picked up 2 million fans and TV had dropped 4 million. Fourteen per cent more net- work radio time was sold in the first quarter o fails year than the same quarter of 1956. The most significant develop- ment in radio, many people in the industry believe, is the growth of the independent sta- tions. They give the local listen- ers a rich diet, of listening mat- ter related to his local interests, which the chains cannot do. Local news is reported on the air almost as fast as it happens. Important, too, is the fact that local people in large numbers go on the air free, rather than as paid performers, A local sta- tion can thrive without spend- ing very much money. The net- works have their high-priced disk jockeys, but the local stations are saturated with low-priced jockeys, Television itself has contribut- ed to the rise in the radio busi- ness, local or network, trade ex- perts believe. Joel Culligan, head of NBC radio, points out that advertisers who spend large sums on TV, supplement this ad- vertising with the inexpensive and much more numerous "spots" available to them on radio — and the more they deal in TV, the more they supplement on radio. CBS's head of radio programm-, ing Howard Barnes, makes the same point: "A single shot on TV needs to be backed by widespread coverage on radio." But Barnes and Culligan dis- agree on the significance of ra- dio's current recovery, Culligan feels radio's popularity will con- tinue in the fall. -"A summer fluke," Barnes calls it. "To say radio listeners will outnumber TV watchers would be foolish," • Robert Eastman, 'President of ABC radiofi attributes the med- ium's present upswing in part to "showmanship," and adds: "Ifm in favour of stunts," He plans, in addition, to help the present trend' along with plenty of live music. "Soaps and variety are out," he says. "What the house- wife wants is to hear music while she's working. Raclie is the only medium that can offer it." He also has great faith in. "gazinkus" — a kind of magnetism, F.D.R. had it. Billy Graham has it."

Do you think it's proper for one girl to borrow another girl's lipstick? A. While this is frequently done, I still think that lipstick is just a bit too personal an item to borrow. Q. Is it necessary that the acknowledgment of an invitation, when either accenting or declin- ing, be definite, or is it all right for one to say, "I may be able to come"? A. By all means, be definite when acknowledging an invita- tion — either "yes" or "no". A Prince Starts. QardinSchool, As any parent knows, it is difficult enough. these days to educate a child for normal, atomic-age living, laut how to, educate a boy to be a king?. Britain's royal family gave part of its answer last week. E ight.. year-old Prince Charles will leave Hill Muse day school in London to become a boarder at Cheam, a 311-year-old school .of 90 bays, 50 miles west of Londor,. this fall, Cheam was not a surprising choice as Charles' prep sehoel. In 1914; Prince Louis of Batten-, berg, then First Sea. Lord, was impressed one day by the ime peceble manners of two young midshipmen. "Where were you educated?" he asked them. "Chews), sir," they replied, and Louis told them: "Then that shall be the school for my son." Philip Mountbatten, Louis' grandson, went to Cheam from 1930 to 1933 and, has been de-° termined to send his son there from the time Charles was born. At first, palace advisers object- ed, preferring that Charles have Private tutors. Last week, with. the discreet assistance of Prime Minister Macmillan (an old Etonian), Philip had his own way. Following the royal decision, joint headmasters Peter Beck and Mark Wheeler" faced the added pressure of one extra new boy for their already crowded. school by first putting a security • FEELING' kiGH T d'eifi ng a lift -out—Of.' fh-e- proceeding's at, Palisade's Park; 11-yearold Diane Hunt carries on the show business tradition of being borne in a trunk.

With details unavailable, the British press assumed and reported that there were so many lords on the school's roster that no black- board was big enough to chalk up their collective titles, Actually, this was not the case. Cheam mixes sons of bluebloods and ordinary businessmen indis- criminately, so long as they meet scholastic requirements. It blends old-school-tie tradition with modernity (caning only for serious offences). Its alumni end up in, industry and civil service as often as they wind up in the Hose of Lords. Charles will share a dormitory with eight other boys and will sleep in an iron bedstead, He will rise at 7, make his bed, clean his shoes, attend classes, play football and cricket. While such a regime is unlike- ly to satifsy such critics of royalty as Lords Altrincham and Londonderry who complain that his education won't expose him to boys from all walks of life, it is, as The Daily Express called it, "half a revolution". Prince Charles will be undergoing the nearest approximation to a middle-class education ever ar- ranged by the British monarchy, —From Newsweek V.14.,,itoi "Lucky you're in Aletitrae, slugger; the GlantS are tnov' lag out here!" mAmfAiTANT 11t61.10A.b08—ReliVin 1k/es of the minstrel's ' Of the Middle Ages, Mr, and firs,. banald Mork of New York are thoWil in Ron-le, holy, Where they have been delighting natives with impromptu OerforrneltiteS at various spots In the city.

I always wonder—still more so now, since we have been on the move ourselves, and find our- selves continually bumping into people who are, or will be, mov- ing to the very district we have left. When we went back to Halton during the Federal elec- tion we passed a hundred-acre farm about three miles from Ginger Farm on which had been built, among the trees, a very lovely modern home, with a grand view across the country. The owners, we were told, came from "somewhere near Toronto". I forgot about the place until one day last week. At that time I was exploring an out-of-the- way residential area near here— as I often do—and noticed a par- ticularly attractive house for sale in a wooded section. I stopped and "spoke to the lady of the house and discovered they were selling as they had, bought a hundred acres in Halton and had built a house that was even now ready and waiting for them. The one we had seen, no less! Of course, I don't know their reasons for moving but I do knows this—their tax bill for a hundred acres will be less than what they are -paying for their present house, Besides that, as they don't intend to farm there is nothing to stop them selling off acre, or five acre lots from their property for country homes. That is just one "moving" Instance but we have run across many others. Probably people are trying to escape high taxa- tion. Well, from what we hear It can't be done. TaXes are sky- rocketing everywhere, even in co un t r y. districts. Education seems to be the greatest single factor. The Provincial govern-, ment has promised to ease the burden so we shall await de- velopments with interest, al- though any easement that coulees will be too late to affect next year's taxes. Well, I had plenty of oppor- tunity last week to indulge my curiosity about people and where they live as last Sunday Bob and family took us to Midland where Dee and her family Were on a two-week vacation — at NOtta- us on a four-hour sight-seeing country to Partner and me so naturally we enjoyed the trip im- mensely sepecially as Art had a motor-Ieunch rented to take us n oa four-hour sight-seeing trip on the lake.

From the water we saw the Martyrs' Shrine in the distance (now I'll Ever since I can remember I never be satisfied until I get a closer view): Along the road we passed the site of the summer ski-jump. Nottawaga Beach is a lovely woodsy district but we hadn't been there 10 minutes' before the mosquitoes were out in force to meet me. Not everyone—just me. Why I should be so favored I don't know, but that's the way it always is. Dave and Eddie were naturally having a grand time on the beach, fearless Ed- die dashing into the water as if he intended to swim the bay. We returned by way of Barriea and No. 27 HighWay and did not' run into heavy traffic anywhere. Such lovely scenery along the road. I understand that when No. 27 was built consideration was given, as far as possible, to making it a scenic route to the north. Certainly the engin- eers succeeded, if that was their Purpose. Ontario is such a lovely province I think we owe it to ourselves to see as much of it as possible, alSesays remembering that many of the beauty spots are often practically on our own doorstep. There is a lot in the papers these days about the pollution of the River Credit. Well, we live in the Credit Valley now and it is heartbreaking to see so many lovely parks closed to the public because of polluted waters—pollution that shouldn't, be allowed, Yesterday I parked my cal behind a garage and noticed an awful stench. Oil waste had been dumped at the back into a shallow -ditch. A very small ditch but eventually it would drain into the. Credit River. At Streetsville a dam pro- vides a limited germ-free area for swimming and what a time the children have!
