THE SHOPPE Radio Coverage Arranged by CBC for Princess, Vuke Word Pictures of Visit to Canada Will Flow to All Parts of the World. Acting general manager Don- ald Manson said today that the CBC was planning extensive radio coverage of the forthcoming visit of Their Royal Highnesses Prin- cess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. From Canada, word pictures of the visit will flow to all parts of the world as the CBC makes -it facilities and programs available to many countries, Broadcasts will extend over a period of nearly five weeks and will range from the landing at Quebec city to the departure from St. John's. The operation will be the biggest single undertaking that North American radio has faced since the highly successtul broadcasts of the CBC in connec- tion with the Royal Visit of Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth in 1939. Mr. Manson says preliminary planning and preparations are well under way. Approximately thirty-five on-the-spot actuality broadcasts are tentatively sched- uled from twenty-three Canadian cities, These will be supplement- ed by straight reports from other cities, by nightly edited versions of the day's actuality highlights, and by newscasts. In addition to broadcasts on CBC's two national English net- works, the CBC French network will provide French - language coverage of all major events while the CBC international service will béam broadcasts to all parts of the world, All cities along the Royal Visit ute are now being surveyed and vantage points selected for micro phone placemnt, Nothing definite has been learn- ed of the whereabouts of Dr. RA. Hudson and Bill Barilko, who are missing after a plane trip to the vicinity of James Bay.

The model of this project, which will be on display in the Government Building, will give Canadians and visitors to the CNE an insight into the vastness of the project.

Entitled "Meet the Ducks", it is now being distri- buted by the Benograph Division of Associated Screen News Lid for Calvert Distillers (Canada) Limited, The primary purpose of the film is to show, in pictorial form the results obtained by Ducks Unlimited in a decade of hard work in wildlife conservation The fact is stressed that the sur- vival of the many species of ducks is not entirely dependent on an adequate breeding stock each year. Modern construction equip- ment, including bulldozers-and draglines, are seen in operation building the dams and digging the canals which store up water to create suitable marshlands. These soon attract the ducks and through proper water con- trol, safe breeding grounds re- sult. Airplanes are used, both for reconnaissance and survey work to see that the work of Ducks Unlimited is not undone either by Nature or by man. A good cross-section of the duck family is seen in beautiful winter or autumn plumage--mal- lards, gadwalls, shovellers, can- vasbacks, red-heads, scaups, anc the many other water owl so dear to the hunter's heart. Interested groups owning or having access to 16mm sound projectors, in Ontario, can borrew a print of '"'Meet the Ducks" by contacting the Benograph Film ' Library, 100 Adelaide St. West Toronto, Ont.
