Dunton's own CBC. This Corporation
grossly !uses radio time for its own
purposes, it is not democratie hut die-
tatorial, it exercises censorship to a.
high degree and certainly it does not
give time for "legitimate viewpoints"
without cost to anyone — to any great-
er .extent thatt do the independently
owned competitors.
An example to refute the chairman's
statement tan be found in Radio Sta-
tion •C1'.."NX, Wingham, Ontario, which
won the Beaver Award. for service to
the public over all CBC and other in,
dependent stations last year. It is
owned by Mr. W. T, Cruickshank, a
lifelong resident of Wingham, and a
junior partner, Mr, Cruickshank has
neither wealth nor power; his lifework
has been CKNX and service to his
community. And there are at least 75
other independently owned stations
across Canada similar to CKNX. For
real freedom of the air, let Mr. Dun-
ton press for a non-partisan commis-
sion to regulate frequencies' and stan-
dards of all alike — including the CBC.

Rabbit Smashes Windshield Of .Car
Elmer Golem of Sullivan had an un-
usual and costly experience the other
day, when the windshield of his car
was badly shattered by a rabbit, They
were coming to Chesley, and, near the
10th of Sullivan, saw a rabbit along-
side the road, It hopped back and
forth between the road and the ditch,
and finally jumped straight into the air
in front of the car, and the windshield
was ruined when it struck the rabbit.

"The problem of freedom of the
air," declares A. Davidson Dunton,
Chairman of the Board of Governors
of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-
tion, "boils down to the question of
whether it is to be freedom on the
part of those with wealth and power
to buy and use radio time for their
own purposes, or democratic freedom
to share the privilege of presenting
views to the public, without censor-
ship, but on a basis that makes the air
available for all legitimate viewpoints
without cost, and making too great an
inroad on music and entertainment
which listeners deservedly enjoy."
Mr. Dunton's mixed and purposely
confusing 92-word sentence is more of
a boiling-up than a boiling down, and,
as the Chairman has a very large axe
to grind, it is thoroughly misleading
as well. In the first place, "those with
wealth and power" in radio in Canada
have their leading representative in Mr.
