# Parliament Boring, To Radio Listeners By LOUIS L. LECK | Canadian Press Correspondent This is the statement of Richard | Boyer, chairman of the Australian SYDNEY, Australia (CP)-- broadcasting commission. In the Fewer Australians are roadcasts of their federal Parlia- | sion, nt, because the pr ¢- listening to ' 20th annual report of the commis- just tabled in Parilament, ograms are | Mr. Boyer said the time occupied {in broadcasting Parliament has RADIO LOG WGR 550 » CKFY S80 © CBL 740 ® C.8C 860 © CHML 900 WBEN 930 © CFRB 1010 @ CHUM 1050 e CKOC 1150 CKLB 1240 ® WKBW 1520 ee CHVC 1600 a risen by rhore than one-third in the last year. While the federal House of Rep- resentatives is in session, one of the "national" or ABC stations in each area broadcasts i# continu- ously, regardless of what other pro- grams were arranged. AID TO ELECTORATE "The commission is of opinion that the institution of parliamen- tary broadcasts was a wise one, and that the service it performs is a highly significant contribution to the better information of the elec- torate of a democracy," says the report. "We feel that it is a proven technique which should be contin- ued, but are also of the opinion that a revision of the total broad- casts of parliamentary sessions should be undertaken in the light of our experience since 1946.

The commission feels however that some such re- vision would be in the interests not only of the national service but of Parliament itself, and would cer- tainly increase the level of parlia- mentary listening in the ultimate. "Australia, with New Zealand, is a pioneer in this use of the broadcasting medium and its ex- perience has not gone unnoticed in other countries. It is principally the large periods of time occupied by sessions, which make difficult listening for the ordinary setholder, which have deterred Parliaments {abroad from following us in this | experiment. With the general av- proval of the principle, and with the results which it may well be claimed have followed parliamen- tary broadcasting in this country, it would be unfortunate if an ex- cessive use of it were to discredit the practice among our own lis- teners and observers abroad. . .." "ESSENTIAL" SERVICE In addition to full broadcasts of the House of Representatives, the also broadcasts a weekly talk by the premier and opposition leader of four states. The other two states have not bothered to accept the offer. Leader of the federal opposition, Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, protested any suggestion that federal Parlia- ment broadcasts might be cut. He said it was essential the public be given the opportunity to listen to all business in Parliament. To this Mr. Boyer replied: "It is easy to broadcast--it is hard to have a broadcast listened to."

British Wife Wonders Too By ADELAIDE KERR NEW YORK (AP) -- Many peo- ple would run, if they thought they were going to see a ghost. But Olive Hodgkinson spent years try- ing to meet one. Mrs. Hodgkinson is the wife of the squire of Wookey Hole Village, Somerset, England. Like many another English land- ed estate, it has its legend of a ghost. It also has the famous Wookey Hole Cave, 500 feet below the Mendip Hills, with caverns, grottos, colored rock formations and mysterious underground river. Archaeologists' are interested in the cave as aghome of primitive man and beast, "and in the human and animal bones, coins and pot- tery unearthed there. But the villagers are more in- trigued by the 1200 - year - old legend of the evil witch of Wookey Hole, now tied to the legend of a modern ghost, with a good spine- chilling sequence of events. Mrs. Hodgkinson told about them during a visit here. THE WITCH'S STORY '"According to the old legend the Witch of Wookey lived in the cave with her goats and cast evil spells on the villagers. They became so terrified, they asked a Glaston- bury monk to help 'them and he turned the witch to stone inside cave, In the first chamber of the | cave there is now a strange stalag- mite formation known as the witch. Dogs and cats refuse to pass it. "Early maps of Somerset had shown the cave as a mount with on archeologist and curator of the Wells Museum in Somerset - was excavating in the cave, he found dagger, a knife and a stalagmite crystal ball. Nearby were the bones of goats. This naturally re- vived the legend of the witch." Five years ago, after 1 old cottager died, after havin" lived in one cottage 60 years, Mrs. Hodg- figure of a woman moving in the house. One day the child of pe~ e who rented the cottage ran to his mother, asking 'Who is the old woman on the stairs?" His mother looked and told me later that she saw the shadowy figure of an old woman. The family moved out. "Tenants who followed them |had a little girl, who knew noth- ing about what had happened. er saying, 'I didn't know an old lady would be visiting this house all the time.'

LL LIES BLAZING SAGA A BED-SHAKING WITCH "Then came a young man, who | managed a restaurant near the caves, and his wife. The next | thing I knew, she was saying that {8 woman's ghost stood at the foot of her bed on night, shook the bed and put a hand on her foot. | She said it didn't frighten her, a woman outside holding a gazing | | crystal. In 1912, when H. E. Balch, the bones of a woman beside a | kinson says people began to -| port they had seen the ghostly! Soon she was running to her moth- ( but she and her husband left at the end of the season: Mrs. Hodgkinson says that, after that, a long procession of tenants rented the cottage and left it. Thirty - odd people told her they had heard strange noises in it. Twenty said they saw the ghost and a number reported that, at times, the house was saturated with an exceedingly evil odor and they found objects strewn about in a way they could not account for. "People began to say it must be the ghost of the witch, up to her old evil tricks," said the squire's wife. 'I decided to spend a night there myself with an' investigator of the Institute of Psychical Re- search of Great Britain, We took two of our house cats with us. One slept but the other never closed his eyes. "About five in the morning, I thought I heard a strange sound. The sleeping cat sprung from fits chair in terror and tried to leap out the window. The cat that had remained awake bolted up the stairs -- and I followed it and in- vestigated thoroughly. But I saw nothing out of the way. By that time, it was about daylight, so the investigator and I went e for breakfast." HERE'S REAL EVIDENCE! Mrs. Hodgkinson had no sooner arrived home than she remember- ed she had left her pillows and blankets in the cottage, so she sent a servant for them, The woman came running back a few minutes later, saying the cottage was filled with an unbearable evil odor. Back went Mrs. Hodgkinson. "The odor was there -- incred- {ibly terrible," she reports. "And that was not all. The bed I had {slept in had been overturned. The {lamp that stood beside it was {lying broken on the floor, yards {away. Vases of flowers were over- turned and china ornaments were {lying broken on the floor. | "We have now turned the cot- tage over to the Institute of Psy- {chical Research for investigation. | But I haven't yet seen the ghost." | | AIDS SUFFERERS CAPETOWN (CP)--First of its |kind in South Africa, a modern | cancer clinic was opened here.
