Newspapers still have seven days...

COULD ANYONE ASK FOR better proof of
the ineffectiveness of television than the
CBC's decision to cut the honesty out of
Canada’s most popular Sunday night
program?

For years the advertising types have
been trying to sell the public on the premise
that television is the foremost media in

the world today, Not anly does television

cover the largest number of people in the
fastest amount of time but it gets the
advertiser's message across with impact,
according to the survey experts.

Who ever sat down and enjoyed a
bread sandwich? It’s the filling that makes
the difference and it’s the seasoning in
the filling that sparks the appetite.

Canadian televiewers have been enjoy-
ing a highly seasoned public opinion pro-
gram in “This: Hour Has Seven Days.”

Suddenly the decision to change the
chefs was announced. Patrick Watson and
Laurier LaPierre were given their walking
tickets and the public clamor began. We
were not too distressed when we learned of
the firing of the “Seven Days’ hosts. In
fact we could envision a devil-may-care

: ' There is hope...

IN JUST OVER 100 years the amazing
Salvation Army founded by General Wil-
liam Booth in Engiand has spread it mis-
sion, movement and welfare to 69 countries
and colonies. The power of spiritual and
material help without question has sur-
mounted afl barriers,

The Salvation Army has marched be-
yond the doors of stately churches. It has
carried the gospel of the Samaritan to the
scenes of squalor and poverty and suffer-
ing, to the horrors of battle fields, to the
errors of disasters. When those stricken
lock up, the hand of The Army is there to
help them,

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS this year have

LaPierre waggling his index finger at fate
and saying in his inimitable way, “C'est la
vie.”

The firing of Watson and LaPierre was
really no major problem, provided the re-
placements promised to be even better and
the program promised to be even more
forthright.

On Wednesday morning we learned
that Alphonse Ouimet plans to pare “This
Hour Has 7 Days” into an hour that has
virtually nothing. He and his cronies will
take the bluntness out of the Hour. They
will cut down on the honest approach. They
will cut down on the editorial aspect of the
production. They will cut down on the num-
ber of backs the program climbs, and in-
crease the number of backs the program
scratches, -

Perhaps the time has come when the
CBC should cut down on its Alphonse Qui-
mets. While the sweep is on it might yank
a few crouching politicians out of its dusty
closets as well,

We know what we'll be doing during
the crucial Hour next season, We'll be read-
ing newspopers — there are still a few
honest ones left!

Organization of The Salvation Army

appears to have less red tape than any °
other in the world. In emergency, The Ar-

my succor appears by magic, There are no
fanfares, no headlines, no legislative de-
bates, no chest thumping and no question
of color, condition or creed,

There is hope for the spirit, food for
the hungry to those who need either. With
all go the friendly smiles and strong help-
ing hands of the men and women workers.

Throughout Canada the Red Shield Ap-
peal of The Salvation Army will, it is cer-
tain, be warmly supported.

Five Day Conference

For Canadian Legion

Some 1,600 delegates attending
the Royal Canadian Legion’s Twen-
ty-first ational Convention finish-
ed five days of business on Fri-
day. The sessions saw the Legion
approve the Canadian flag; elect
Ron MacBeath of Moncton as pre-
sident; criticize the government
for lack of action on pension in-
creases; and add 50 cents to the
per capita tax which members pay
to the national headquarters.

The convention was opened by
Lord Mountbatten of Burma who
urged delegates to look beyond
Canada in seeking avenues of serv-
ice to veterans and dependants, He
said that the boldness and vision
of the next few years would de
termine whether it was “ten min-
utes to midnight or the dawn of
a hew era,” for the Legion.

Lord Mountbatten pointed to the
