cornpleted dissolution of north halton high school district the end of this year and replacement by three school districts in georgetown acton and milton completes a full circle and writes finis to a dream of a decade ago to have one central high school for this district a maortty of georgetown opinion never did favour the governments plan to build a central school at speyside residents of the three towns can thank georgetown in fact that it never be came a reality had georgetown not fought valiantly agarnst the district entering it a year after its formation only because of an oppressive financial load incurred by carrying on alone the speyside school might well have been built transportation costs would have been staggering for georgetown particularly is growing rapidly and it is uneconomic to consider transporting a large bulk of students six or eight miles from town tennis interest reviving a revival of interest in tennis is evident in town this year the court at st georges church is being used more fully than it has in years and the community centre association has ambitious plans for establishing three more courts in town to take care of growing demand it is to be hoped that this fine summer sport will regain its onetime prominence for there is no better way for young people to spend som of their leisure time and work off some of youths excess energy tennis is a game which can be enjoyed in itself and whicttalso lends itself to social times and interclub competition it has when the dept of education did an about- face a few years iatev and decided that central schools must be erected in towns rather than the country the death knell was sounded for the school district its death throes were prolonged hqwever by an increasingly complicated finan cial structure as one school after another made additions which eventually led to construction of entirely new buildings in all three towns mean while board members muttipied until the school board became a complicated mixture of appoin tees from municipalities school boards and coun ty council it was georgetown again which took the problem in hand and persuaded other munici palities to see the advantages of separation into three districts which will be geographically sen sible and easier to operate we are in complete accord with the decision which will work out best for all five municipali ties concerned been a victim of the times television drivein movies faster cars unfortunately proper tennis courts cost a lot of money according to cr fred harrison who mentioned the subject at this weeks coun cil meeting three courts would cost close to 4000 unlighted it is money which cannot come from the town treasury and must be sought priv ately from individuals or organizations let us hope that the community centre group will be able to carry out their plans if not in i full at least partially tennis is too good a sport to become extinct and is worth promoting controversial corner by ian cass do we need the cbc once again the critics and opponents of the cbc are in futi voice the present campaign initiated by mr frost during the provincial election and accelerated with the joyce davidson con troversy is now enthusiastically led by the globe mail in a somewhat hysterical editorial last friday the globe said that the capitulation of the cbc directors to the demands of a handful of l hl i i i ii n ii ii producers was the most disgraceful thing this country has kndwn in many a day the capitulation referred to was of course the reinstatement of the program preview commentary following mass resignations of cbc producers the producers complaint was that the program had been originally cancelled as a result of polit ical pressure on cbc directors the editorial goes on to condemn the producers for what it calls their wildcat strike and says that the public cannot tolerate arrogant intimidation froni employees of a public service in its eagerness to condemn h cbc the globe mail appears to have missed completely the important question of principle involved the cancelled program consisted of a few minutes of opinion on parliamentary events given by various ottawa news papermen a very minor radio item indeed its cancellation was ordered at a time when the cbc management was already under fire regarding provincial election coverage the program was re moved without previous discus sion or consultation with depart ment heads or producers this m itself was an unusual proce dure the producers claim rightly or wrongly 4hat the can cellation was a direct result of political pressure from the state- ents issued by mr e l bush nell cbcs acting president it appears that this claim was not without foundation it seems to that the action of the pro ducers in resigning as a protest against political influence was en tirety ethical retention of the cbc as an organization shackled by political expediency would indeed he a wasti nf piih mnnoy thi many

preserve the status quo of ihe cbc and to resist influential pressure on cbc policy the question now being asked by many people is do we need to preserve the status quo of the cbc in fact do we ned the cbc at all if the cbc were to be scrapped all radio and tv facilities would be put in the hands of commer- lal operators and the programs would be those that sponsors would finance this ifcjiorrible to contemplate for thofee who merely wish to pass thi hours away in physical and menial sloth commercial radio and tv no doubt do an admirable job one can doze off dunnt the sales pitch and follow most of the programs without really waking up how ever jnost people who prefer the sugary pills of sponsored radio and tv are already wellcatered for by canadian radio and us television the cbc was set up to do a little more than this to cater for people who were inter ested in canadian affairs who wanted to hear comments of in formed observers whose musical ustes occasionally transcended the pop albums and who didnt shy away from a little mental stimu lation now and again to this end the cbc has been reasonably successful to suggest as the globe mail does that the cbc should not provide any programs of opinions regarding the coun trys government is ludicrous and frightening the cbc is the only completely independent source of news and views in this country how is the wellinformed cana dian to be wellinformed by the selected items in politically bias ed newspapers br through the courtesy of detergent and cereal manufacturers sponsored pro grams i believe that any attempt to change the basic structure of the cbc or to stifle the views and opinions of its commentators would be a grave mistake the cbc is an essential element in our canadian democracy and coup

cbc is unduly biasing its comments there is a parliamentary committee set up to deal with any complaints the main problem with the cbc is its indecisive capinhand management if the cbc had a strong competent executive it would heed neither the unofficial complaints of individual pohti- lans nor threatening actions by employees it would also have the good sense not to arbitrarily remove one of
