FrHE TIMES-GAZETTE 10 Thursday, August 8, 1946 LITERARY CLASSICS 10 BE INCLUDED IN C.B.C. PROGRAM Shakespeare's "Richard II" Among Plays Scheduled For "Stage 47" By EDGAR SIMON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Something new is to be added to. "Stage 47" the CBC's fourth annual Sunday-night dramatic series which will get under way Sept. 20, Regular listeners to the "Stage" productions will recall them as or- Iginal plays, mostly by CBC staff men, given a deft and unusual treatment by the corporation's top producers and provided with weird and wonderful musical back- grounds by Lucio Agostini; This winter the same production team will turn its attention to some of the world's best-known literary works, not necessarily in dramatic form, and such classics as Shake- speare's "Richard II", Flelding's "Tom Jones" and Chekhov's "The Seagull" will be mixed in with or- iginal radio plays, Also included in the winter's agenda is an adap- tation of "Two Solitudes", the prize- winning novel by Hugh MacLennan of Halifax and Montreal, Productions of the CBC series have found their way south of the border, the most recent example being "Life With Adam", by Ot- tawa's Hugh Kemp, which was aired by Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre In New York, starring Fletcher Markle and John Drainie of Vancouver, Two other Can- adians, Grace Matthews and Hedley Rainnie, were\glso in the cast. A takeoff or\ Mr, Welles, "Life With Adam" wag described by its hero as "maybe éven a libel", but the play caught his fancy and he gave full eredit to Andrew Alan for he production as he turned his program over to Canada for the evening, You just can't please everybody. Jeff Hogwood of Winnipeg's station CKY had barely started preening himself over the words of praise of one of his listeners for the "peppy music" he selected for his early- morning program when he was al- most flattened by un broadside from another correspondent. "I wonder," read Jeff as his face fell, "if you oan please persuade the musical director of the 7 to 8 am, program to drop those terrible musical depravities that we have had too much of lately, and to re- Candid Camera Variations at the Peace Conference In this photo, the Russian delegates seem pleased with the proceedings as they listen to one of the rep- resentatives who had the floor at the moment.

Topping the lst in the laest United States radio poll is none other than that fighting man of the people, "Mr, District Attorney." Fast talking Walter Winchell is second, with the Screen Guild third, All three were well down the list of winter favorites, With "The Thin Man" ana "The Fat Man" already established as radio favorites, Dashiell Hammett has turned to his favorite detective for his latest radio "whodunit" series, He's Sam Spade, hard- boiled hard-talking hero of "The Maltese Falcon" and a number of Hammett short stories and he takes to the air every Friday night over A number of Canadian stations. Producer of the Spade program is Willlam Spier whom Hammett chose because "between us, Spier and I have probably killed ag many people and solved as many myster- io ha any other two men in our elds."

Too Tired For Needed Milk A very tired tot in nursery school on the Isle de Sein, France, is oblivious to the gentle tapping of the nun who had to awaken him to get his cup of milk brought for the island's undernourished children. Heavy rains over Brittany this summer cut off the 1,200 inhabitants of the barren little island, five miles off the rhores of western France, and they found themselves without food.

Stain- New Zealand Keeps Kiwi Eggs Auckland, NZ, Aug. 8--(OP)-- The Melbourne Zoo has offered to send the Auckland Zoo a duck-bill- ed platypus in exchange for a kiwi egg, and take the risk whether it hatched out or not, but the deal is off, The Auckland Zoo would like a duck-billed platypus, one of the world's queerest creatures which lays eggs and suckles its young, but the Government will not allow it to send the kiwi egg overseas. The kiwi, New Zealand's strange wingless bird, is becoming increas- ingly rare. The birds are strictly protected and it is forbidden to send them overseas. The Govern- ment fears that if one egg were sent out of the country, Zoos all over the world would want them and the number of kiwis remaining in New Zealand would be still fur ther reduced, London, Aug. 8--(CP)--This dis- cree notiop to patrons appears in a popular Soho restaurant: "In view of the new rationing orders, customers wishing to have bread with their meal are advised to bring their own with them. Oth« erwise we shall be obliged to cut out one course if We supply bread ourselves." Regulations provide that a meal may not exceed three courses--soup, fish or meat and sweet. If bread is served, another course must. be foregone, WESTERN WHEAT AGAIN GOES QUT BY "BACK DOOR" Churchill Re-opens For First Shipping Season Since Start Of War By DAVE McQUEEN (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Winnipeg, August 8--(CP)--With a history that dates back to the time when frost-bitten sailors first sought the Northwest Passage, the Hudson Bay seaport of Churchill, 1,000 miles north of Winnipeg, still awaits its promised destiny as a major outlet for Canadian grain shipments. Machinery at Churchill's 2,500,000 bushel elevator, idle during the war, will hum again this summer as be- tween mid-August and early Sep- tember six British ships pick up 1,800,000 bushels of wheat stored there since 1039. Once again, men will try to prove thai Prairie grain should take the shortest route to Eur. -- "out the back door" through Hudson Bay, Ranged against them are the loe- bergs of Hudson Bay and the short shipping season -- lasting, usually, from late July to mid-October. Ice- breakers and radio direction sta- tions have alded sailors in their fight against ice, and numerous lighthouses cling to the fog-wrap- ped shores of Hudson Strait, but marine insurance men, still con- vinced the route is hazardous, have kept their rates high, A further difficulty is that of ob- taining west-bound cargoes for in- coming ships. Treeless Seaport Bleak, treeless Churchill is one of the strangest of world seaports, Its natural harbor, the estuary of the Churchill River, is excellent, but the inhabitants--there were 444 in 1036 ---find scant protection against screaming winter gales, Their small frame houses, scattered along the rocky streets, are stout and warm. Long a Hudsons Bay company trading post, Churchill did not gain the status of a seaport until the completion of the 510-mile Hudson Bay Railway in 1020, at a cost of $33,000,000, Agitation for the rail- way started as early as 1880, but the job was unattractive to private interests, and construction was fin ally undertaken by the federal gov ernment in 1011, Port Nelson was to have been the terminus, but as the ralls crawled spasmodically over the muskeg, the engineers changed their minds, They ordered the line diverted to Churchill, 125 miles further north, Work on the dock and elevator installations started in 1028, and was completed three years later at a cost of $13,000,000, Added to this was $6,000,000 already spent at Port Nelson, Vessel movements started in 1031, when two ships picked up 500,000 bushels of grain. Ten ships called the next year, and the number rose to 15, in 1934, Early Accidents Two accidents marred the early trial period. In 1932, the steamship Bright Fan struck an iceberg and sank, officers later were charged with negligence. In 1936, the Avon River went aground In Hudson Strait, ana had to be beached, Ninety-eight others made the trip safely, and 20,000,000 bush- els of grain had left the port by 1939. Now the port again faces its tra- ditional problems--weather, ice, and insurance rates; but newly-develop- ed navigation aids, radar especially, may make a great difference. Members of the Hudson Bay Route Association urge that Church- ill be given a real chance to prove its worth, They say western farm- ers could save millions of dollars by shipping their grain over the Bay route. Backed by Prairie governments, the Association calls for a western board of management to operate the port and promote its develop- ment, Worker students will, be paid " their usual employment rates.
