Ellis 3V Walls Publisher McPherson MONDAY The Canadian Broadcaslin Co this week concluded its presentat on of the Britishmade series Civilization The ser historian Kenneth Clark was one of those gems which makes us forgive television some but not all of its many program ming sins However it was interesting to note the extensive use of oil or ink portraits em ployed in the series These are the only records we have of some of the giants of our past Men who changed the course of history are lost to us as people we are left with records of their deeds and sketchy details about their person How much different things are today We all know what General Charles do Gaulie looks like even thou we have never seen him in the fies Anyone in Barrie would recognize any number of famous eople irom Richard Nixon to Bobby rr even on meeting them for the first time Even more we can all at various times meet again the people who have stirred us in the past Most commonly this is the case in old movies which bring to life again the magnetism of Humphrey Bogart or the evident goodness of Gary Cooper Less frequently perhaps but more im portantly the young eople of today and tomorrow will be le to observe

inhabited by unclvilized op pressed serfs they keep the street so clean that one could eat all it So George Kerr talked tough about the litter problem The soft drlnla columnuteri dis pcuscr is one serious offender it leads to discarded empties which become broken ginss Mr Kerr came up with suggestion for the softdrink industry standardize the bottles so that they would be interchangeable between the various brands make them all returnable with perhaps nickel bonus on each and abandon the abandonane can as well as the disposable or littermaking bottle The hrcwcrics of Canada are setting an example which the merchants of pop should follow Bottles are nearly all inter changeable nnd can thus readily be redeemed for cash and then be recycled for reuse of all the beer sold in
