us are prone to tail them for grantch And yet it is necessar each year to hold campaign for mem bers which involves no little work by the executive But the years of patient planning and hoping for good music for Barrie have brought their reward in achieving the purpose of bringing the finest in musical attractions to Barrie As the movement grew after the first three seasons it was found necessary to place limit on the number of memberships that being the seating space available From Collier the association shifted the concerts to the former Central United Church on Dun lop street West which proved too small and then to the Roxy Theatre where it was possible to accommodate 150 mem bers Last year the auditorium of North Collegiate was chosen for the fine series may oRuti of

lraql revolution when Jordan broke all relations with the UAR in the belief which almost everyone shared that Nasser had been the insiigntor of the coup that took the lives of King Faisal and Premier Nilli Es Said and broke up the Iraqdor dan federation The extent of Nassers partici pation still has not been estab lished but the question has be come irrelevant in the light of subsequent events If

it really regrettable error as the Cana dish Broadcasting Corporation dlims when its television news broadcast dubbed in picture of Liberal Leader Lester Pearson applauding Newfolmdland Pre mler Jeey Smailwoods assertion that he would not tolerate union gangsterlsm our threats by Canadian Labor Congreu Prui denf Claude Jodoln To show picture of lilr Pear son out of context like that was the piclorinl equivalent of asserts ing in words that Mr Pearson gave bls endorsement of Mr Smallwoods cundemnailon of recognized CLC union The CBC dsims that this was an error But whatever the explanation there can be no denial that the CBC ncws broadcast in not told lie to its transCanada audi ce it is hard to see how film can he accidentally cut in such manner that an event is put so far out of context in point of time The picture of llr Pearson applauding was actually photo graphed during the general up pleusc at Ibo cad of Mr Small woods speech yet on the TV reproduction that picture was in serin many minutes earlier at that very damaging juncture in the mlddlo of Mr Smallwoods speech But slill let us accept the CECs assertion that this was on that occasion regrettable error CBC BEANS T0 BIAS if this assertion had not been made would have suspected that this was yet another example of the unforglvable and un desirable slanting of news which we bear continuously over the CBC quotegiwo other recent com merits Mr Andrew Glen of cust Hill Ont points out that in reporting 90minute speech by the British politician Sir Oswald Mosley the CBC picked out two sentences dealing with the racial problem This was done asserted Mr Glen no doubt with the intention to arouseprejudlce is it thc purpose of our publicly owned broadcasting system which imitating the taxpayers
