The new rule also prohibits an- nouncers from Sfaiing™ the radio broadcast of a game by following it on television in a broadcasting studio. Robert Keddy, secretary of the CBC board of governors, explained that the ban covers what purport to be live broadcasts of a game or other event. These are usually done by means of telegraphed repgrts in morse to the studio, with sound effects of cheering crowds dubbed in. They could even be done by watching a television broadcast, Mr. Keddy said, although this has not yet happened in Canada. regulation bans such broad- casts until after the event is over, if an on-the-spot broadcast of the event is available in the area. The reconstructed broadcasts will have to be identified as such at least every 15 minutes. A case in point came before the broadcaster and operator of radio station CKFH in Toronto, charged that Toronto station CKEY was using material 'from his on-the- spot broadcasts of National Hockey Leage games outside Toronto in THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, June 25, 1988 § TORONTO (CP) -- The Ontario Court of Appeal Wednesday uashed a conviction against Ar- ur McKay, 24, of Windsor, sen- t d to 12 years in penitentiary its own r tructed br of the games. Jack Kent Cooke, owner of sta- tion CKEY, denied the charge and said he and his staff were pre- pared to swear they had not used material from Mr. Hewitt's broad- casts. Mr. Hewitt said that during three games he deliberately announced penalties that were not given. He played recordings to the CBC board which he identified as those of CKEY which also described the penalties. Clarence Campbell, NHL presi- dent, supported Mr. Hewitt and asked that reconstructed broad- casts of NHL games be prohibited. He described it as "piracy." Mr. Keddy said the new regula- tion would not apply to broadcasts of running stories on sports events, such as play-by-play news agency reports on the Grey Cup game or world series, so long as they did CBC board of governors last J ant. | not purport to be on-the-spot broad- ary when Foster Hewitt, hockey casts. CHATHAM, Ont. (CP)--George Doucett, minister of highways for Ontario, met with a committee from the Southwestern Ontario Highways Association Wednesday to discuss troubles of both the farmers and the department along the route of the east-west super- highway through Essex. county. The minister and aides, engin- eers and land evaluators in his department heard requests of thes association as presented by their Spokesman, Lawrence Kerr of Har- ch. Among the requests, the asso- ciation asked that an agreement of sale be made with the affected famous host of fun-makers.

Mr. Doucett said there are no regulations compelling the farmer to fence his property if he has no sock and does not need the fence.

Hedley Basher, deputy minister for reform institutions, said. Wednesday more than 1,600 guards have left pro- vincial institutions during the last seven years, averaging about 10% months each in service. Some of the reasons are that men can get better pay élsewhere, not everyone enjoys the type of work and younger men do not take kindly to discipline, he told the Ontario Legislature's select com- mittee studying reform institutions. Salaries for guards in provincial institutions, he said, range from $1,940 to $2,340 and from $2,160 to $2,760. They work eight hours a day, 48 hours a week. "We are not keeping pace with industry in our salaries," Col. Basher said. Earlier, Dr. C. 8. Tennant, psy- chiatrist of the department of health and consultant to the attor- ney-general's de p art ment, said hardened criminals and psycho- paths may be confined together, but they should be segregated yom other prisoners.

In Whitby on Tues- day .morning, a . tractor-trailer transport pulled up in front of the fife hall with smoke billowing from the trailer. Firemen who had already been advised that a fire was on its way in to the hall, were on hand to extinguish the blaze in the folded tarpaulin in the trailer. The driver of the transport, be- longing to Jone Transport of Brantford, reported that he had been proceeding west on Highway 401, about the vicinity of Henry Street, when another transport pull- ed up to tell him !that his trailer was afire.
