municipal nominations perhaps not stirred as much as it should befbr the good of the commun ity as a whole but at least ruffled in most cases a handful of citizens many of them whp have served in the past will turn out at nomination meeting therell be a reasonable list of nominees for the positions and a day of activity to endeavor to assure enough to fill the posts the nomination notices always provide for this contingency in stating that an election if necessary will be held a week or so later nomination night is the public forum for all citizens its the place to ask questions and get the answers about your business it is no place for personalities but rather the place for seeking the common good for the town or township as a whole its a place to offer suggestions as well as criticisms its the place where your municipal leadership is sought and secured these few weeks ahead are ones in which much thought should be given to the trend of your town these are days of great growth and big municipal problems the soundness of that growth demands good leadership and rs the duty of every citizen tops of this season smorgasbords banquetsfancy meals in lav ish dining rooms with intriguing and sometimes understandable menus can all take a back seat at this time of year to the fowl supper put on by various organizations at this time of year one of the greatest attractions is of course the lavish- ness of the dinner and the fact that one knows no matter how many helpings one takes or how many pieces of pie are offered for dessert the one general price is allinclusive many a small boy has at halfprice for such a fowl supper been a deficit to the undertaking but no one is ever conscious of any such feeling at a fowl supper turkey is today the main course there was a time when other meats were the main feature but that was before the beef was priced off the menu and turkeys were not so widely reared as they are today there is only one worry about these fowl suppers overindulgence but at the time of the feasting of such an event no one worries about tomorrow yes the fowl supper is an excellent fall preliminary to the christmas and new year festivities it is well that they are usually con cluded a month in advance of these times so while the season of these annual events lasts en joy them because they will soon be over taxpayers supply entertainment should canadians be taxed to provide the public with entertainment such undoubtedly is one of the major issues which will confront the proposed royal commis sion on radio and television announced in july by revenue minister aaccann for in the latesl fiscal year for which figures are available 1953- 54 23 million of the 27 million of cbc reven ues came from the public treasury i is it the proper role of government to provide television coverage of prize fights wrestling bouts hockey matches football games concerts and plays arthe taxpayers expense if so w difference is there between engaging in such activities and going into the theatre business or into professional sport the an to such questions of course is that if the public demands such television servic es and if the cost is not too high and if there is no alternative way of providing television enter tainment the government might conceivably be justified in being in the television business the point is however that alternative ways of providing the public with television entertain ment do in fact exist private enterprise in canada is as ready as it was in the united states to pro vide television programmes at no cost to the tax payer such are some of the considerations which the royal commission on radio and television will need to consider with scrupulous care chance of survival a little booklet which we picked up in van

at least one city pedestrians have first consideration there was an absence of horn blowing and an application of brakes that was quite contrary to motorists be haviour in many ontario cities v we do not know whether this is written in the traffic rules in cities in this pfbvince but certainly motorists can use this rule whether written or un written with good results here certainly the

convention in van couver we had the unexpected experience of finding ourselves in lone opposition to a motion before the three hundred delegates it was one of those minormotions which so often are unani mous someone felt it was desirable to secure more statistics about the newspaper field these statistics could not be secured readily so the simple method was to get some government fact finding source to include the question on one of the innumerable forms that come out with such regularity and insistence that the return be re turned in so many days what will be done with the statistics when secured we do not know no doubt they are for inclusion in some afterdinner speech before some group of prominent executives but the point is not their usefulness but merely the fact that such figures are available for those who are called on to make public utterances we voted alone against the resolution be cause we are sick and tired of filling out forms we like our business of editing newspapers and doing printing but we dont enjoy the interrup tions of compiling information that is unnecessary and often times useless usually when such a task is handed over for governments to secure the information is three years old and another de partment has been established in the already everstaffed government that adds to the cost of government and continues even after its useful ness were
