Automatically dlivred with persoa attention ta o mn p . j The growth and developmnent of1 the CBC in those 25 years lias beeni enormous, stimulated partly byi technical advances, partly by publici demand, nd partly by the initiative! and drive of its own staff. In 1936 the CLIC operated eight radio stations only. These were combined withý 16 privaitely-owned radio statÏionis to f orm one neitwork, which carrled network programmes for six Iours each day. The balance of the broadcastin.g. time was filled by local or indîvidual programs.1 This netw'ork( reached approximat- ely half the total population of Cani- ada at 'that tLime. Today, 25 years later, the singlc radio netwý,ork has expanded into three nelLworks, cDi-iprisinig 31 CC stations and 102 privately-ownedf stations; the.se carrynewrpo gramns for 18 hoaLurs a da1y mb t( he homes of 9)6 per ýenjt of oýur popu-1 lation. In addition,thr are 121 CBC stations and -13 prival e sta- tions, affiliaited into two networks, broadcas(ing television programis in- to Canadian homes, of w ich nore than 193 per cent now are equipped with TV' 'receiving sets. While the numbier of CDýC sta- tions hias been multiplied betweeni five and six times, the costs of ce ating rgrm have sW'ollen eveýn more, and thie advectof tlvso has introduced an entirely new,\ dim-' elnsion into ithis apet)feittan ment inth' homée- So it is not sur- pr'isinlg to find thiat the budget o)f. the CBC lias swollen fr-om a roun1d $20000in its 1 irst fuJit year to' just over$100,00tsyer Do youi remember those licence fees? They were either so,-methingý we considered a nuisance to pay, or sornething we feit justified in aod ing. Yet in, those early days, the Il- cence f ees constituted the mnain fln- ,anciai prop of the CBC_. In that, ~first f ulli year, is revenue consisted of $1,896,813 from licence fees and $315 ,920 f romi commercial broad- casting. SToday the fee hias been abolishied; instead parliament in its wisdom decrees thait every Canadian tax- payer shall contribute te the coci of operating the CEC, whether that taxpayer utilizes the CBC's pro- gramns or nt; indeed, whether that taxpay« er possesses a radio and-or television receiver or not. Through the years the CBC h«.s been consistenltly under public ob- servation and frequently under par- liameptary scrutiny. Being a ser- vice for Wvhich Canadians pay, it inevitalbly recelves more vocal cnit- icism than praise. Yet praise lt does deserve, and in generous mensuire, for hein- the most powerful ingle influence in preserving Canadian- ism as a distinditiye national culture and for energetically fostering is expansion. Few Canadians could seriously crîticize the Canadian Broadcastingý Corporation for the Canadian job 1cmrr as a distinctive national culture ages Canadian art and artiests; more significant, it plays a valuable role in educating and informing us a- bout our own country and about Canada's 'hopes, ambitions and pros- peods. This is an essential counter- part to the sugar with<rnt the pili which invades us from across the border- The next 25 years will cee even ,more stantling changes in this field than the years past. For one thing, they wil certainiy cee the creation of a thorough-going and profitable Caniadian entertainmenit industry, to feed our varied TV réquirements.J We must hope toc that they willi see stifactorY arrangelments !whereby truly national programes are always availaible te our national 1broadcasting 1ietwork. We muet also hope that a- CBCI image is bujît which can lie widelyl resp)ected as the fineet of Canadian-1 B owm anville MA. 3-5589 Thurs, at 7:30 - Fr1. & Sat, 7 & 10 p.m. EXTRA - SECIOND FEATURE "Baile of the Coral Sea" MONDAY to WEDNESDAY at 7:30 l"Doctor !nLve in color (Aduit entertainment> Michael Craig, James Robertsori Justice ORONO TINSHOP'l SHEET IMETAL WORK PLIJMBING SUPPLIES PIJMPS and REPAIRS PIPE anid FITTINOS DRAIN CLEANERS MINOR PLUMBING REPAIRS B-il PAINTS etc P.
