CBC
Program
Changes
MUCH
favorable
tomment
was
heard
when
the
CBC
announced
its
plans
to
bring
new
and
better
programs
to
Prince
Rupert.
Inevitably
the
changes
will
not
suit
everyone,
but
most
listeners
will
find
something
that
pleases
them.
The
new
programs
have
a
large
following,
and
Prince
Rupert's
tastes
mast
be
more
or
less
the
same
as
the
rest
of
the
country's.
-In
this
matter
of
trying
to
satisfy
the
public
fancy,
a
number
of
tricky
problems
are
involved.
It
is
necessary
to
entertain
the
largest
number
for
the
longest
possible
period,
yet
still
find
time
to
do
something
for
those
listeners
whose
interests
are
never
likely
to
be
the
majority's
if
there
is
such
a
thing
as
a
majority
in
a
radio
audience.
The
situation
is
made
more
delicate
by
the
fact
that
the
hours,
when
a
full
audience
can
be
reached
are
decidedly
limited.
If
a
listener
hears
nothing
during.the
evening
hours
that
he
enjoys,
the
chances
are
that
he
will
condemn
the
whole
business
no
matter
how
much
of
his
favorite
kind
of
program
is
carried
at
less
popular
times.
As
far
as
the
CBC
is
concerned,
its
national
character
compels
it
to
do
some
strange
things
from
the
local
point
of
view.
During
the
important
lunchtime
period,
for
example,
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
gets
half
an
hour
of
farming
news.
While
the
activities
of
the
Carson
family
have
a
good
general
following
and
many
have
formed
a
habit
of
listening
to
the
program,
the
broadcast
is
still
far
too
specialized
for
this
non-agrarian
locality.
Even
so,
the
CBC
provides
us
with
a
very
creditable
amount
of
excellent
entertainment.
The
latest
changes
are
encouraging
evidence
that
this
area
Has

the

their
analysis
of

was
in

that
it
was
any
such
thing
as
a
"system."
A
country
which
operates
under
a

system
of
democracy
is
changing
Hs
"system"
every
year,
and
in
fact,
by
degrees
every
month,
every
week,
almost
every
hour.
Here
is
an
example
of
what
I
mean.
No
political
party
which
has
yet
held
office
as
the
government
of
Canada
ever
planned
to
set
up
an
overall
"welfare
state."
But
bit
by
bit
and
step
by
step
we
have
got
such
a
state.
Moreover,
although
the
Conservatives
nave
ataimes,
co-posed
the
application
of
wtd'or
welfare
measures,
they
have
at
other
times
vied
with
the
Liberals
in
bringing
them
in,
or
in
consolidating
and
Improving
them
once
they
were
established.
Canada
now
leads
the
western
hemisphere
in
such
things
as
Family
Allowances,
Old
Age
Grants.
Moreover,
once
having
accepted
the
principle,
Canada
will
step
by
step
improve
these
devices.

They
proved,

that

Now

THE
QUESTION
of
a
national
flag
for
Canada
I
has
been.
nicely
tucked
away
for
another
session
of
Parliament,
but
it
is
doubtful"
if
the
matter
will
be
handled
in
nearly
as
entertaining
a
fashion
the
next
time
it
comes
up.
By
the
time
the
brief
debate
was
over,
the
Liberal
who
introduced
the
question
had
voted
to
kill
his
own
motion,
and
several
other
Liberals
had
voted
against
what
they
earlier
said
they
favored.
'
It's
easy
to
understand
the
reluctance
of
Mr.
St.
Laurent
and
his
colleagues
to
do
something
about
a
Canadian
flag;
whatever
they
do,
there'll
be
shrill
screams
from
some
part
of
the
country.
Sooner
or
later,
however,
we'll
have
to
get
us
a
flag
that
people
in
other
lands
will
recognize
'as
a
symbol
of
Canada,
and
if
we
agree
that
Canada
is
something
more
than
a
puling
infant
among
nations,
then
there's
no
good
reason
why
it
should
not
be
sooner.
Thfommittee

almost
unanimously
on
an
adaptation

It
is
only
a
short
step
removed
from
the
Ensign
which
has
been
quietly
hoisted
above
more
and
more
buildings
during
recent
years.
If
the

acted
on
the
report
of

we
doubt
if
the
nation
would
be

BUDGET
FOR

This
is
the

when
who
every
person
appeals
to
the
public
for
patronage
should
plan
his
advertising
program
for
the
coming

It's
smart
business
to
know
as
nearly
as
possible
where
you
are
going
in
the
next
12
months.
If
you're
a
retailer,
allow
yourself
10
percent
of
your
normal
markup
for
advertising'
purposes.
Then
spend
it
in
varying
monthly
amounts
according
to
the
percentage
each
represents
in
ratio
to
gross
sales'
Of
course,
the
best
and
first
place
to
spend
it
is
in
