; SO is emphasized; by the f act th^t T V is now available to 12
•lillion Canadians through 38-stations in operation or beihg
uilt. The Canadian people have bought over 2 milliori sets.-
The many fineshows that have been produced by the CBC
the threeyears television has been in operation in Canada
sufficientproof that, Canadian talent can produce programs
f highquahtywWch are origihally Canadian: It is intare^
3 note that 7,000 Canadian artists appeared on CBC T V last
ear and that jiuring the past months 2,000 different Canadian
erformers have been appearing eäch month on CBC prOgrams.
Thanks to the work of these artists and technicians aiid the
: B C Canadian T V has shown a development which cannot be
xcelled by any other land.
It is obvious that private stations would never go to the
ost of producing: their own programs when canned entertain-
(lent is readily available from the US networks at a fraction
f the cost.
One of the things that impressed us greatly when we visited
'inland a few yeärs ago was the complete absence of commer-ials
on the radio. (TV wasnot available at the time). It certainly
dds to listening pleasure when the program is not int^rrupted
/ith a Commercial every few minutes in which the imajgined
ualities of some product are extoUed.
As a matter of fact the US is one of the few countries in the
orid in which control of radio and T V is in the hands of private
lonopolies. ,
It is true that the CBC cannot operate on a profit hasis J f
is to serve the- national interests of Canada. If it must cater
commercialism it will be tied to the dictates of the advertiserS.
he Canadian people will have no objections against government
r ants amounting to a f e w tens of millions if the CBC continiies
developalong the trends it has shown in the past. ; /
Television and radio offer great possibilitiCs for the develop-nt
of Canadian taleht which in the past has been forced to
k opportunities in the US, We have already seen whäLt
anadians can do when given the opportunity, One of Canada's
ading artists M a W Moore recently declared: "Stop trying to
ipy what the Americans do best. In everything we do we must
p over the present into the future; If we try to'follow what
? Americans; are doing we shall always be 25 years behind
em; if we're really smart we can go over their heads as we
id at Stratford and start leading them." He concludes with the
ollowing observation: "What matters is not that we are Gan-iians,
but that because we are Canadians we have a rare chahce
• contribute new ideas, techniques and methods to a World
rying for them. We shall betray" ourselve sand humanity if
b .aIlow our wagon to get hitched to the glittering European
'ast, the glitteiring American present, or äny other nagthari
ar own glittering future." , ,^. , •;
In Canada the only»guarantee of achieving this /'glittering
iture" is through a pubJiclyowned medium such as the CBC
^hich has adequate funds to offer an outlet for creätive
lanadian talent.

The null's family of cats, Crudele
said, "were awfully gaunt and wlth-out

exist by foraging among scraps left

The Locars health and safety

lood time to take into consideration
\ox t year's Youth Drama Festival:
The reading of a play is very im-kessive,
and it presents no staging
[roblems. Ifgives an opportunity to
nprove on speech and expression.
In some libraries / collections of
Jggested plays for reading may be
|btained in quantity, also there are
5veral one-act Finnish plays avail-
Ible from the N a t l Office. Many

korth y o u r i ^ i l e to drop a line

Here are a few suggestions for
|mateur actors extracted: froin a
eaflet printed b y . " Kulttuurityö"
Finland, (Incidently a great
|eal of this' vtroiild be belpful to
lose planning to enter the Youth
)rama Festival next Easter.) ;
"On several occasions it is noted

;>lay SO that he may present: his
part: with ease; and nnderstanding
this.relatipit: The i o l l o v i n g are
few hints to remember when act-
1. The "role" or part should be
memorized as soon as possible, so
that rehearsals on stage could be
carried out without the interference
of holding, the role in ones hand,
reading from it and forgetting
actions.
2. The direction of the play
should be left to one person while
rehearsing. If the play is a collect-ive
effort, one person should still
do the actual directing, and then
aftenvards discuss and make suggestions,
so as not to confuse the
actors, and disillusion them, and
avoid a bedlam.. (A dozen directors,
and no actors.)
3. Rehearsals should be prompt.
No , lateness should be tolerated.
Each participant should be made
aware of their hindering the pro-gress
of the rest of the east by being
late. Also it breaks the continulty of
play having to pause and wait for
someone. The time allotted to re-hearsal
should be respected as such,
and not used for gossip, handiwork
etc.
4. Bit parts are equally.as important
as main roles, and the actor
should feel it his duty to attend any
and ali rehearsals of the play.
5^ A promter should be had as
soon as roles are set aside, so that
the director may direct without
having to prompt as welL
6, The director shoöld study the
play carefuUybeforegivlng out
parts, and understand the contänt of
the play the relation of each pait
to the plot, and have a clear' picture
in*bis owniniind of the.staging.^Hie
must be prepared to explain to
each actor the character, the part
and his movements and why they
must J>e SO, also to be prepared
to consider any. sound suggestions
the actor himself may have. J n the
case of a: coUeciive effort the vsame
applies, only the others nmst also
study the play and critize' the direc-tor's
pian. It must be remember
fhat the director is the only person
in the end who is responsible for
the success or failure of the. play,
his postien should be -respected as
such. i f actors feel the methpd of
directing is imsatlsfactory the matter
should be. discussed after the
rehearsal where criticisms may be
made. If the criticisms are just,
then the methods can be corrected.
At no time during a rehearsal
should there be interruptions and
criticisms made, as this will only
confuse the less experienced actors."
. -
In many cases there are" people
around whö wouId -Uke^^^^^t^
around the stage, but not-on it,
These people can. be recruited to
study staging, ^to look after the
costuming, others may find make-up
extremely interesting^ others
may want to study lighting. A l i
these help to improve a production.
Ifot to be forgotten, is the interest
Ito write~ plays or pantomines, and
translate plays from Finnish to
English or vice versa.
So there we have it,:an enormous
field to cultivate, and wefhaven't
so mucb as scratched the surface
yet. What say we get to wörk study-ing

Last summer at the 5th World
Youth 'Festival there were many
Xriendly meetings held, one such
meeting was held between the
Yöutta Df Finland and the Youth
of Senegal. J t was really some-thing
to remember seeing the stoic
Finn not being able to speakany-thing
but Finnish trying to converse
with the African who did^ speäk
some English. You might wonder
why the negrtf^from Senegal chose
to meet with the Finn from- Scan-,
dinavia.

countries young people barely get

of Demöcratic Youth; Direct re-lations
of solidarity were establish-ed

Finland and Senegal; The
youth of Finland collected money
to aid the Youth of Senegal,
through this help it was possible
for theni to attend the Festival.

The SadFaleOf
Freddie the Trout
One day, my cousin George (he
lived up by Owen Sound in Ontario),
coming home from a fisiiing
trip, noticed that one of the trout
He. had caught was still alive. Just
for fun, he dropped it into an old
rain-barrel that stood at the back
of his höuse.
Weil, you know how mosquito
larvae.grow.in rainbarrels^ danged
if this fish didn't recover and start
feeding on those larvae. When he
noticed it was still alive, .George
began to feed the trout/worms and
bugs. Pretty soon it got tame and
took tiie-iood right out of his hand
You know, after avvhile, it got
'^so that George could'pick the trout
out of the .water and hold it in his
,hand. He named it Freddie. They
were real buddies.
George kept picking that trout up
and holding it out of the water a
little longer evöry day. When it
raiiied, he could keep it out of
the barrel for an hour or so. Then
it only had to' be foggy. Then a
little dew on the grass was good
enough. Soon that fish didn't need
any water-at ali.
It was one of the strangest sights
you ever saw. George walking a-round:
his backyard, and thö trout

So this giiy figured that it C D .
Howe was-loäning out that kind
of money ho'd likc'to get in on it

Weil ho ups and drops a wire to

nicc wire.' The way he rccalled it;
it went sbm^thing like this: •
Dear C D . — We feee where you'ro

men - ? $80 jnillion dollars to bulld

* The way the story wcnt this fcl-low
wait^d and waltcd and waitcd.
The longer he waited the maddcr
he got. Weil, a week or so went by
and no money from Howe.
So he up and rips off another
wlre:
Dear C D. What'8 the holdup

you I'd build., stop. You don't have
to give good Canadian dough to
those Yanks. stop. And I do meän,

Then camc more waiting. Matter

according to our bakcr,' who knows
the feUow who knows him,
And he'8 sizzling mad. Hopping!
Talking to everybody who'll listeh

What he's saylng is that things

us. And that, he said, is pretty; hot.
" L i o k at it this way," he said,
"here's us poor. citizens getting
taxed from here to matcmity and
beyond. Then characters like this
C. D. Howe'takes our money and
forks it over to those. Texan gas
barons, How about us though?" he
asked. "Why, Howe and his gang
wouldn't give the taxpapers a kind
Word,"
Our baker can't figure out why
Texas milllonaires should get
money out of the Canadian government;
Those Texas millionaires,"
he stated, "have got more money
already than our fruit loaf has got
fruit. And thafs really fruity," he
went on."
This friend of the friend öf öii?
baker has got a new angle now,
we were told.
The idea, our bakcr told «is, is
that he'8 going to write to Howe
again. But this time he's going to
wrilc from Buffalo.
The baker explainedit to us this
way. "The fellow figures that Howe
wouIdn't give the right,time tO a
Canadian. So by appearing to be
from U.S.A. Howe's almost bound
to snap the proposition up.

; SO is emphasized; by the f act th^t T V is now available to 12
•lillion Canadians through 38-stations in operation or beihg
uilt. The Canadian people have bought over 2 milliori sets.-
The many fineshows that have been produced by the CBC
the threeyears television has been in operation in Canada
sufficientproof that, Canadian talent can produce programs
f highquahtywWch are origihally Canadian: It is intare^
3 note that 7,000 Canadian artists appeared on CBC T V last
ear and that jiuring the past months 2,000 different Canadian
erformers have been appearing eäch month on CBC prOgrams.
Thanks to the work of these artists and technicians aiid the
: B C Canadian T V has shown a development which cannot be
xcelled by any other land.
It is obvious that private stations would never go to the
ost of producing: their own programs when canned entertain-
(lent is readily available from the US networks at a fraction
f the cost.
One of the things that impressed us greatly when we visited
'inland a few yeärs ago was the complete absence of commer-ials
on the radio. (TV wasnot available at the time). It certainly
dds to listening pleasure when the program is not int^rrupted
/ith a Commercial every few minutes in which the imajgined
ualities of some product are extoUed.
As a matter of fact the US is one of the few countries in the
orid in which control of radio and T V is in the hands of private
lonopolies. ,
It is true that the CBC cannot operate on a profit hasis J f
is to serve the- national interests of Canada. If it must cater
commercialism it will be tied to the dictates of the advertiserS.
he Canadian people will have no objections against government
r ants amounting to a f e w tens of millions if the CBC continiies
developalong the trends it has shown in the past. ; /
Television and radio offer great possibilitiCs for the develop-nt
of Canadian taleht which in the past has been forced to
k opportunities in the US, We have already seen whäLt
anadians can do when given the opportunity, One of Canada's
ading artists M a W Moore recently declared: "Stop trying to
ipy what the Americans do best. In everything we do we must
p over the present into the future; If we try to'follow what
? Americans; are doing we shall always be 25 years behind
em; if we're really smart we can go over their heads as we
id at Stratford and start leading them." He concludes with the
ollowing observation: "What matters is not that we are Gan-iians,
but that because we are Canadians we have a rare chahce
• contribute new ideas, techniques and methods to a World
rying for them. We shall betray" ourselve sand humanity if
b .aIlow our wagon to get hitched to the glittering European
'ast, the glitteiring American present, or äny other nagthari
ar own glittering future." , ,^. , •;
In Canada the only»guarantee of achieving this /'glittering
iture" is through a pubJiclyowned medium such as the CBC
^hich has adequate funds to offer an outlet for creätive
lanadian talent.

of gettuig a fair day's pay for a

President Michael Crudele.who led
the "cat negotiations."
"OuT; Mill was b ^ m i n g plagued
with *rats," Crudele Said.' "They
.weren't litle ones, either and they
were plenty bold, even getting into
the lunches of our members."
The null's family of cats, Crudele
said, "were awfully gaunt and wlth-out
the pep to give the rats any
competitiqp." They managed to
exist by foraging among scraps left
over from the workers'- lunch
boxes. "This wasn't enough to keep
them in proper shape for rat catch-*
ing," he added.,
The Locars health and safety
committee took the matter to management
as a grievance, and negotiations
brought agreement on a
guaranteed monthly - allotment' of

the cat kitty is the chairman of the

Everyone's pleased vwii'h the set-tlement^
Crudele said, that is, every-one

At any rate, practically every

lood time to take into consideration
\ox t year's Youth Drama Festival:
The reading of a play is very im-kessive,
and it presents no staging
[roblems. Ifgives an opportunity to
nprove on speech and expression.
In some libraries / collections of
Jggested plays for reading may be
|btained in quantity, also there are
5veral one-act Finnish plays avail-
Ible from the N a t l Office. Many

|re interested, i t would be well
korth y o u r i ^ i l e to drop a line
ating what t ^ e of play you would
^ave in^mind^
Here are a few suggestions for
|mateur actors extracted: froin a
eaflet printed b y . " Kulttuurityö"
Finland, (Incidently a great
|eal of this' vtroiild be belpful to
lose planning to enter the Youth
)rama Festival next Easter.) ;
"On several occasions it is noted

;>lay SO that he may present: his
part: with ease; and nnderstanding
this.relatipit: The i o l l o v i n g are
few hints to remember when act-
1. The "role" or part should be
memorized as soon as possible, so
that rehearsals on stage could be
carried out without the interference
of holding, the role in ones hand,
reading from it and forgetting
actions.
2. The direction of the play
should be left to one person while
rehearsing. If the play is a collect-ive
effort, one person should still
do the actual directing, and then
aftenvards discuss and make suggestions,
so as not to confuse the
actors, and disillusion them, and
avoid a bedlam.. (A dozen directors,
and no actors.)
3. Rehearsals should be prompt.
No , lateness should be tolerated.
Each participant should be made
aware of their hindering the pro-gress
of the rest of the east by being
late. Also it breaks the continulty of
play having to pause and wait for
someone. The time allotted to re-hearsal
should be respected as such,
and not used for gossip, handiwork
etc.
4. Bit parts are equally.as important
as main roles, and the actor
should feel it his duty to attend any
and ali rehearsals of the play.
5^ A promter should be had as
soon as roles are set aside, so that
the director may direct without
having to prompt as welL
6, The director shoöld study the
play carefuUybeforegivlng out
parts, and understand the contänt of
the play the relation of each pait
to the plot, and have a clear' picture
in*bis owniniind of the.staging.^Hie
must be prepared to explain to
each actor the character, the part
and his movements and why they
must J>e SO, also to be prepared
to consider any. sound suggestions
the actor himself may have. J n the
case of a: coUeciive effort the vsame
applies, only the others nmst also
study the play and critize' the direc-tor's
pian. It must be remember
fhat the director is the only person
in the end who is responsible for
the success or failure of the. play,
his postien should be -respected as
such. i f actors feel the methpd of
directing is imsatlsfactory the matter
should be. discussed after the
rehearsal where criticisms may be
made. If the criticisms are just,
then the methods can be corrected.
At no time during a rehearsal
should there be interruptions and
criticisms made, as this will only
confuse the less experienced actors."
. -
In many cases there are" people
around whö wouId -Uke^^^^^t^
around the stage, but not-on it,
These people can. be recruited to
study staging, ^to look after the
costuming, others may find make-up
extremely interesting^ others
may want to study lighting. A l i
these help to improve a production.
Ifot to be forgotten, is the interest
Ito write~ plays or pantomines, and
translate plays from Finnish to
English or vice versa.
So there we have it,:an enormous
field to cultivate, and wefhaven't
so mucb as scratched the surface
yet. What say we get to wörk study-ing
and I^ming ali nrecan about
äramatics; and next spring at the
Drama Festival really give the old"

Last summer at the 5th World
Youth 'Festival there were many
Xriendly meetings held, one such
meeting was held between the
Yöutta Df Finland and the Youth
of Senegal. J t was really some-thing
to remember seeing the stoic
Finn not being able to speakany-thing
but Finnish trying to converse
with the African who did^ speäk
some English. You might wonder
why the negrtf^from Senegal chose
to meet with the Finn from- Scan-,
dinavia.
It ali started this way: In colonial
countries young people barely get
enough to eat, much less- to even
dream »f slich trips as the World
Youth Festival; In 1954 the International
Solidarity Fund was
launched by the World Federation,
of Demöcratic Youth; Direct re-lations
of solidarity were establish-ed
betvveen many coutries, for in-stance
Finland and Senegal; The
youth of Finland collected money
to aid the Youth of Senegal,
through this help it was possible
for theni to attend the Festival.

The SadFaleOf
Freddie the Trout
One day, my cousin George (he
lived up by Owen Sound in Ontario),
coming home from a fisiiing
trip, noticed that one of the trout
He. had caught was still alive. Just
for fun, he dropped it into an old
rain-barrel that stood at the back
of his höuse.
Weil, you know how mosquito
larvae.grow.in rainbarrels^ danged
if this fish didn't recover and start
feeding on those larvae. When he
noticed it was still alive, .George
began to feed the trout/worms and
bugs. Pretty soon it got tame and
took tiie-iood right out of his hand
You know, after avvhile, it got
'^so that George could'pick the trout
out of the .water and hold it in his
,hand. He named it Freddie. They
were real buddies.
George kept picking that trout up
and holding it out of the water a
little longer evöry day. When it
raiiied, he could keep it out of
the barrel for an hour or so. Then
it only had to' be foggy. Then a
little dew on the grass was good
enough. Soon that fish didn't need
any water-at ali.
It was one of the strangest sights
you ever saw. George walking a-round:
his backyard, and thö trout
fifi»-flopping after him, just like
altame little puppy-dog.
bne day, George waswatking up
the path, towards a field on the
other side of'the brook. As usual^
Fneddiewasflip-floping after him.
As he crossed the bridge, George
didn' tnotice the one; of the planks
was missing. But Freddie wasn't
quite: so lucky. He flipped>, then
nopj>ed, right thourgh the missing
plank, ker-splash into water J>e)ow.
George lealized immediately what
must have happened. - He. dashed
down to the side; of the. stream,
But he was too late. Freddie had
