But Joseph Alphonse Quimet, ever the perfectionist, agreed to stay on until Parliament had passed the new broadcasting legislation then supposed to be three or four months off, Thursday, 14 months to the day after his original retirement decision was revealed, Prime Minister Pearson announced that the '9-year-old broadcast- ing executive had finally :n- sisted on a firm date and the government had accepted it. On Dec. 15 the slim, soft- voiced Montrealer will fulfill the ambition he set for himself last more normal and private family life before it is too late to enjoy | Fa SEARCH NO SECRET It's an open secret in Ottawa that the government has been searching frantically for a suita- ble successor, with no apparent result to date. A new name pops up, or drops out, almost every week in the continuing specula- tion. Until now Mr. Ouimet has been carrying on gamely in what many top people in Ottawa consider the roughest job in the public service. It got even rougher last month after State Secretary Judy LaMarch spoke of 'rot- ten management" in some parts of the CBC during an interview Mr. Ouimet, a solid defender of the CBC ever since he took over as its chief officer 15 years azo, fired off an open letter to Miss LaMarsh demanding that she turn over evidence of the charge. She sent an open reply reject- ing the demand, and later told the Commons it was arrogant. That, apparently, was the last straw for Mr. Ouimet who has waged many battles on behalf of the publicly-owned corpora- tion. Two weeks later he tele- phoned Mr. Pearson and the up- shot was the Dec. 15 departure date. In the eyes of his friends and associates, Al Ouimet goes out tablished an unchallenged repu- tation as "the man who built CBC-TV." He put on his first TV demon- stration in a Montreal depart- ment store in 1932 while work- ing with a pioneering private electronics firm, The firm,' too far ahead of. its time, went broke. WHIZZED T) TOP The young engineering whiz joined the old Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission--fore- runner. of the CBC--in 1934 and just three years later was in charge of all technical opera- tions. Later, as chief engineer, he directed the CBC's move into the TV field and won world-wide "recognition for the way in which He was moved from the engi- neering side to general adminis- tration in January of 1953 and found headaches there that an engineer never dreams of. TV programming touched off one crisis after another, in Par- liament and out of it. Investiga- tions piled on_ investigations added to the problems. A management - producer clash in 1965 over the controver- sial Sunday night program, This Hour Has Seven Days, touched off a national furore with Mr, Ouimet in the middle proclaim- ing the right of management to manage. Lost amid the confusion, in Mr. Ouimet's estimation, was the solid day-to-day perform- ance of the national system. aon HOVERCRAFT ALTERNATIVE Ottawa Budget Slashing Dims Causeway Future By ALEX FARRELL 7 HMR MCLE HOM: this year, are fast vessels that skim over the water on a cush- ble basis, the commitment of OTTAWA (CP) -- The federal|/the federal governmen:'to the government may scrap the|government and the people of|ion of air. planned causeway to Prince Ed-|Prince Edward Island."

(CP) -- "I will never forget the strange feeling that came over whenl first set eyes on stacked concen- trations of slate-grey coins. It was a feeling of great relief to know we had not been chasing the proverbial wild goose." This was the way Alex Storm, then 29, described his reaction when he first saw the stacks of gold and silver coins in the crumbling wreckage ef the 18th century French payship Le Cha- meau.
