Ts cannot, of course, be satisfactory for some of 1 ' e provinces to be running along on temporary agreements, no matter how satisfactory they may appear to be in individual cases, while with other provinces there are no agreements at all. The situation from a national standpoint that way can be Qiily the more aggravated. Ottawa no more than the outstanding provinces could hp satisfied thereby, - There are important outstanding matters between Ottawa and the provinces to be ironed out before Canada can go steadily into matters of economic and social import. Only by a conference, with spirit of understanding and compromise, can these matters be permanently settled. Provinces like Ontario and Quebec, as Ottawa will itself) must be prepared to be reasonable. The, way things stand now, almost ten years have elapsed and we are little, if any, further ahead in . Dominion-provincial relations than we were when the Sirois report first came out and the abortive conference following thereon was held. H Hooper rating of radio programs , i show a decline to 10.8 million listeners for the highest listenershlp in 1946 com- pared with 23.7 in 1936. In addition, In 1936 eleven other shows rated above 10 V while now only one other show was in that category. Television in Canada for Canadians, TELEVISION beyond mere generalization. Is the exclusive property of the- radio engineer and student of science. As a topic, for discussion it has cropped up periodically for more than a decade but at all tlmjs It remained Just that. Only a few days ago A. D. Dunton, chairman of the board of governors of the Canadian Erftadcasting Corporation, 6aid that the board "has decided that sttras" should be made c. "the-possibilities of establishing publicly-owned television facilities in Montreal and Toronto". Both in the United States and the United Kingdom television., to a limited degree, has become public property. In the U.S., and especially in New York where, there are "upwards of 2.000 receivers In operation, Jhere is talk already of 7a network. In the U.K., perched high on Highgate hill in' North London, Alexandra Palace long has been known as the centre of television experimentation and broadcast For Canadians, however, television stjll means something to read about and discuss since television reception' is possible only in areas where television broadcasting takes place, fit Canada there is no television broadcasting and for that'reason there are ho television receivers. None will be? bought until such time as som;one establishes a broad-caUfng field, where there is noi audience. Nevertheless a te)2vislon broadcasting station in Detroit is directing programs to Windsor. Some television receivers undoubtedly will be in operation there. Perhaps, if there are enough of them someone will launch a Canadian broadcasting station . . . then more receivers win be in operation, and so on. Hotel. . . Is mm amVaiS Mr. and Mrs. W.

MORTIMER 324 2nd Ave. Phone 88 Hotel Fires recent demonstrations DESPITE that hotels can be deathtraps, fire Insurance underwriters generally consider hotels a good risk and back up that, belief with a premium rate little higher than for private homes, considerably lower than lot factories, says Financial Post. Hotel fires, they point out, are rare; hotel fire deaths and injury rarer still. Well under 1 of Canadian fires occur in such establishments. But this observation, the same insurance men are quick to add, doesn't apply to the substandard hotel. Just what constitutes a "fireproof" building isn't clear, even to rank and file insurance authorities. Most consider the word a misnomer, though it is a generally accepted term For ordinary purposes, a building Is called "fireproof" If its frame floors, walls, partitions, ceilings and roof are of fire "resistive materials." Fire preventative and pro tective devices most ' often mentioned as effective are (a) automatic sprinklers, and (b) thermostat - controlled alarms on all floors and which ecund loud warning If heat rises above safe temperature. But nothing much has yet been widely applied to lick the smoke hazard; when upholstery smokes It sometimes smothers, even without much of a blaze. Fortunately for travellers and as reflected In relatively low hotel fire insurance rates strict bylaws regulate hotel construction and equipment In most of the Canadian Titcomb, Topley; Mrs. W.
