Doing Their Best "You can‘t marry ten pretty girls‘" but there are many men in the Unied States who seem to be struggling toâ€" ward that ideal. Alimony, however, beats all except the very wealthy after the third or fcurth divorce.

Saturday EFevning Post:â€"Civilization is the system under which a business man rushes to town and pays a quarâ€" ter to park his car, so he won‘t be fined a dollar whille he is eating . ‘"We are told the revenue for the year just coming to an end is estimatâ€" ed at $2,8365,000, and this presumably includes returns from the advertising, both Canadian and American. <~If we deduct from this total an approximate half million dcolars for the advertisâ€" ing, as indicated by the speaker, we must take it that the two doliar liâ€" cense fee bas produced â€" somewhere around seventeen and eighteen hunâ€" dred thousand, and that raising the license fee to three dollars, the total required would have been collected. Readers of this column will recall that I have more than once advicated such an advance, and I consider the cutcry against the proposed ~fiftyâ€"cent adâ€" vance as paltry in the extremg. The claim made ‘by some that this terrible fifty cents each year will check the sale of receivers is merely absurd, and the plea that the owner of more than one receiver should be exempt from more than one fee is rather worse.â€"Any person who can> afford to plant extra receivers in his various outposts â€"will certainly ‘not be inclined to cut down the number for the sake of an addiâ€" tianal centsâ€" or even one dollar. The outcry will of course die a natural death and may be ignored. The pracâ€" tical question arising from the increase is why it would not be better to fix the fee at three dollars and dispense with the commercial feature? It is adâ€" mitted that commercial <« programmes were never proposed in the original setâ€"up of <the and that the Corporation is plainly flouting the ruling made. Now, in face of the inâ€" formaticn just given us, we are clearly entitledâ€"to ask why the cbvious method of revenue increase was not taken at first, and the objectionable commercial element kept out? As it stands toâ€"day it is not even decently fair to the smaller Canadian staticocns who have to live on their advertising, yet must stand ‘by and see their revenue cut by network competition. And, to add inâ€" sult to injury, the Corporation smirches even the Sunday broadcasts with this stuff which the local stations have had the decency to forbhid. A curious situâ€" ation‘!"
