The Osharon Tes published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E.,, Oshawa, Ont, Pdge 4 Friday, May 29, 1959 Second Network 'Would Face Tough Dr. Andrew Stewart, chairman of the new Board of Broadcasting Governors, has sald that Canada could use a sec privately-operated television net- work. But the Board cannot accept ap- plications from would-be operators of private network stations until the gov- policy monopoly for the ond ernment of CBC is changed From the given before the Commons committee on broadcasting this week, it is clear that if a second network were permitted to operate it would find itself competing with a crown corporation that not only can draw on the public purse to pay its op erating expenses but can afford to put im advertis= than the programs cost vate network, in other words, self in almost impossi« would forced to try to that subsidized by pub- evidence for commerical The pg would find in position, It ble be to sell program advertisers were already being CBC admits that it sells its pro- to commercial spon=- that cost $88,353 t cut rate ten programs Opposition to produce, the sponsors paid only $44,460, The CBC--that Is, the publie-- paid the rest, Who was it said TV is free? As the Vancouver Sun points out, JCBC's claim that it 'spent more than sponsors would pay in orde) to 'Im- prove' commercial programs is out of line with the average viewer's experi- ence . . . CBC's attempt to picture sponse sors as generously 'helping to pay the bill' for outstanding Canadian pro- grams is a reversal of the real situa tion, Canadian taxpayers are helping to pay the advertising bill for large cor- porations." The private network, unable to tap the publie till, would have to compete with this curious splitting of costs by the CBC, Perhaps, through more effici- ent management and more inspired pro- gramming, they could compete success fully for the advertiser's dollar, But what seems more likely is that the com- petition of unsubsidized and subsidized networks would result in an even great- er deterioration of quality and an ex- tension of the deadly mediocrity of tele- visio: entertainment Food For The World for a world food bank will at the forthcoming Food- Washington all reduce Proposal be considered conference in food bank that threaten the costs of for-Peact Sur= prices alter heing paid the taxpayers of the whicl were produce ed.

One is the extent to which a producing nation can afford to subsidize agricultural over-production, In Canada, we cannot do more; our government expense already too great and our taxation too heavy for economic health, Another consideration the Influence that the food bank might have on world prices and the of the organization that will be required to make sure that the banked food does not get back into the world market=it will obviously be a great temptation to unscrupulous people The food bank is a fine idea, but one to be pursued with realism, Is is size oviet Gold Stocks notv has accumulated a sort of Fort Knox hoard with a view to unloading it a a critical moment and wrecking the western economy "Such a plan would be quite in keep- ing with the classical old-time Bolshe« vik approach, and if the Russians cone sider such suggestions slanderous, all they have to do is to publish proper statistics like any other adult nation "My own view is that the Russians need a great deal of their gold for se- cret propaganda in other countries."

In United Nations and In North At. laniic treaty circles In other coun. tries, 1 have found that .our best friends won't tell us what they think of Canada's deiegations Several vears ago, Parllamen. tary giants such as that then Op- position firebrand John Diefen- baker, and the CCF foreign af. fairs expert Alistair Stewart, and the Liberal party president Sen. ator Wishart Robertson, won high repute for Canada, when their eloquent speeches and construes tive comments gave a lead to NATO conference, Since then the standard has slipped. Too often our leading parliamentarians have considered the home front to be of exclusive Importance; all - expenses « paid trips to exotic faraway places have been handed round as sops to back-benchers and ward-heel ers rather than to potentially ef- fective delegates; experienced British debaters and prominent American senators have easily stolen the limelight from Cana- dians who had been making too merry too late In dubious night spots FARM TEAM IN BIG LEAGUE A new low has been achieved by Canada's delegation to the At lantic congress, assembling in Britain's capital this week, Our delegation consists of two elements, parliamentarians and private citizens, The 15 MPs and senators contain a few who would make an adequate supporting caste, such as Okanagan's Dave Pugh; Fort William's Hubert Ba. danal, Wellington Huron's Marvin Howe and Albertas' Dr. Kindt The only experienced parliamen- tarian in the group Is Manitoba's Walter Dinsdale, a young former Parliamentary Assistant who is likely to mature in time into cab. inet material One parllamentarian com mented that 'the outstanding delogate Is good op agriculture, but neither knows nor cares about foreign affairs." But why is there no front. bencher of any party? Why must Canada send a sandlot team against the "Giant: ' and the "Yankees" from next door? Surely our Parliament can spare a few cabinet ministers and op. position front bench men to rep- resent Canada at a five-day con ference? The private citizens in the dele gation have been recruited by two unknown vice chairman. One'is a former Conservative MP, uare- membered here and inexper- fd i lenced In NATO conferences, Yet he rejected, when suggested as delegates, former MPs of other parties who have won high repute in NATO circles, such as Que bee's Charlie Cannon and Win- nipeg's Alistair Stewart, The other vice chairman, a Conservative party worker un- known on the national stage, shared in rejecting the nomina- tion by the United Nations Asso clation of Canada of the well known foreign affairs expert, Willson Woodside, as a delegate, Yet among the delegates he named ls a person unknown at international conferences of this type, and heard of chiefly in as- sociation with the vice chalrman a8 "The Gold Dust Twins." WILL VOICE BE NEEDED A prominent senator, impressed by the 'wellknown people in cluded in other countries' dele gations, gloomily read Canada's list, and comment: 'I don't know a single soul, except Admiral Grant." The latter, formerly a successful chief of the naval staf, should be a stand-out on our dele gation, able to make a valuable contribution to the military com- mittee at the congress, NATO circles in U.S.A, which have contributed internationally. known headline names to their delegation, have declared that "The list of Canadian delegates is disappointing--but the real rep- resentatives of Canada at the Ate lantic congress will be the splen. did list of Canadian signers of the Declaration of Atlantic Unity." These signers, all but one omitted from the Canadian dele gation, include polijelans John Diefenbaker, Gordon Churchill, Mike Pearson, Paul Martin, M. J. Coldwell and George Hahn rep resenting all political parties; labour leaders George Burt (UAW), William Mahoney (Steel Workers) and Percy Bengough; university president Dr. Larry) MacKenzie and Professor A, R, M, Lower; J. S. Duncan, chair man of Ontario Hydro; K. R. Thomson, George Ferguson and Elmore Philpott of the newspa- per world, and very many others equally prominent. The object lesson of this con gress is that our delegations to international meetings should be chosen to represent Canada, not the political party in power; that our leading politicians of all par ties, always so ready to leave Ot tawa to speak before Canadian voters, should equally be pre pared to go to address interna. tional audiences; and above all, that the taxpayers' money should not be used to provide junkets to exotic faraway places as a re wand for party, as opposed to na- tional, services FOR BETTER HEALTH Sodium-Restricted Diet Continues on Vacation HERMAN N. RUNDESEN, M.D. There are many things for those of you on a sodium. restricted diet to remember when travelling on summer vacations. Even a mild sodium re "ction naturally causes some changes in your daily diet. And you are apt to have difficulty following your prescribed diet when eating out NO SALT AT TABLE Just about any diet of this type prohibits the use of alt at the table. This won't be any problem since you can control the salting of foods in front of you However you can't always con- trol the chef in the restaurant kitchen. Generally, foods should be salted only a.out half as much a Is customarily done ' cooking for those on a sodium. restricted diet, At least mention this to the waitress It might do some good, No matter how hungry you are, stick to your prescribed diet Eat only the foods your doctor recommends, even If you don't get a full meal Foods served by restaurants are often salty 'or they are salt preserved or high in calories Sodium, you must understand, is not salt. But salt (sodium chloride) contains a great deal of sodium. As a matter of fact, it is about 50 per cent sodium. That's why you have to cut down on its use Many foods contain natural so dium and some contain more than others, i i BYGONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Thomas Henderson, one of Osh awa's most esteemed business. men, died at his home on Elgin St, after a brief {linens A.
