On the contrary, the polâ€" isy of the corporation is to encourage the fair presentation of controversial questions. "At the same time it should be reâ€" alized that the message of broadcastâ€" ing is received at the fireside in the relatively unguarded atmosphere of the hsme. reaching old and young alike. Certain subjects, while meriting disâ€" cussion elsewhere in the public interest, are not necessarily suitable for this intimate medium." Advertising Rules In addition to the general prohibitory sect‘on, specific regulations are made against advertising: 4 "Any act or thing prohibited by law : "The prices of good or services, exâ€" cept the prices of publications auxiliary to the information services of the corâ€" poration ; "Any insurance corporation not regâ€" istered to do business in Canada; "Bonds, shares, or other securities or mining or oil properties or royalties ar other interests in mining or oil proâ€" perties other than the securities of the Dominion or provincial governments or municipalities or other public authoriâ€" ties, provided ncthing herein shall preâ€" vent any one from sponsoring a proâ€" gram giving quotations of market prices without comment; "Spirituous liquors: "Wine and beer in any province of Canada wherein the provincial law proâ€" hibits the direct advertisement of wine and beer, nor in any other province unâ€" less immediately prior to the coming into force of these regulations wine ard beer have, in fact, been directly advertised in such province through the facilities of radio." Effect of the latter provision will be to restrict beer and wine advertising to broadcasting stations in Quebec, as cutside of that province there has been no radio advertising of these products even in provinces where other forms of direct advertising have been permitted by law. Advertising of spirituous liquors on the air has always been barred, but this is the first time specific regulaâ€" tions have been made about beer and winge. Whenever wine and beer are adaverâ€" tised through radio facilities, the folâ€" low‘ng special regulations shall apply: "No spot announcements shall be used for the direct or indirect adverâ€" tisement of wine or beer; "All continuities in programs directly or indirectly advertisirg wine or beetr shall, prior to their broadcast, be apâ€" proved by the corporation as to the continuity and the form, quantity and quality of the advertising â€" content thereotf." A general rule restricts suchn . spol announcements to two minutes of each broadcasting hour. It forbids them beâ€" tween 7.30 p.m. and i1 p.m. week days, except under unusual geographical conâ€" ditions of stations. and keeps them enâ€" t‘rely off the air Sundays. No change is made in respect of poâ€" litical broadcasts, but the provisions of the Canadian Broadcasting Act are reâ€" peated, as follows: "Dramatized poli.ical broadcasts are prohibited. "Sspots" Cvt Down "Spot announcements are short adâ€"~ vertising texts thrust in between proâ€" grams, but not tied up with their conâ€" "The names of the sponsor or sponâ€" sors and the political party. if any, upon whose behalf any political speech or address is broadcast shall be anâ€" nounced immediately preceding and imâ€" mediately after such broadcasts. "Folitical broadcasis cCn ary Dominâ€" icn, provincial or municipal election day and on the two days immediately preceding any such election day are "Fach station shall allocate time for political broadzcasts as fairly as possâ€" ible between the different parties or candidates desiring to purchase or obâ€" tain time for such broadcasts." May Cut Advertising Further No only is the advertising content to be held to 10 per cent. of any proâ€" gram period, but the corporation may give ins:ructions in writing to a staâ€" tlion to cut its daily advertising content where in the corporation‘s opinion too much time is being given to it. The corporation is also empowered to diâ€" rect any station to alter the quality or nature of its advertising broadcasts. Permission must be obtained from rohibited rule restricts such . spot ts to two minutes of each hour. It forbids them beâ€" the corporation to use any mechanical reproduction of a program between 7.30 p.m. and 11 p.m. unless such reâ€" production is me‘rely incidental. Where stations have unexpired conâ€" tracts for the use of "canned" proâ€" grams or fortuneâ€"telling programs, however, the corporation may give perâ€" mission to continue them until the end of the year. Continuity Approv@al Needed Continu‘ties associated with any proâ€" duct marketed under the Proprietary or Patent Medicine Act or the Foods and Drugs Act must be sert to the corporation for approval at least three weeks before being broadcast. Testiâ€" monials shall be regzarded as constitutâ€" ing part of the advertising content of the program. The only path to contented readâ€" ingâ€"enough light to see by, and good eyes to see with.

REMUS There is also a general provision unâ€" der which the corporation may require production of material for examinaâ€" tion before it is put on the air. The corporation‘s own programs are given priority over cther material unâ€" less permission to the contrary is obâ€" tained by the station. Permission must also‘ be granted before any program is picked up for rebrcadcasting. No chain or network of two or more stations may continue without consent of the governing body. Penalty for infrirgement of any regâ€" ulation is suspension of the station‘s liâ€" cense for a period not exceeding three months. McGill Doctor Says Silhcosis Incurable But Melntyre Investigators Believed to Have Found Preventative. Recent despatches from Montreal suggest that some doctors at least beâ€" lieve that silicosis is incurable. In a mining country that is not considered good news. But against that view is the more hcpeful idea that investigators at the MciIintyre mine, working for years with the deepest heart interest, are equally firm in the belief that they have fourd a preventative. By the use of a zinc spray, which already has been tried in the case of smaller aniâ€" mals, the use of this spray has reduced the danger from silicosis daust to a minimum. To return, however, to the Montreal aqoctor! He is Dr. H. E. MacDermott. cone of the McGill Medical fraternity. Writing in the latest issue of The Mcâ€" Gill News, a quarterly published: by the Graduates‘ Society of McGill Uniâ€" versity, Dr. MacDermot refers to siliâ€" cosis as a disease of the lungs that takes its greatest toll among miners, but affects workers in many other inâ€" dustries. The daoctor terms the disease Silicosis, Dr. Ma:tDermot notes, is caused by the substance, silica, and he points out that this substance is found in the form of such minerals as quartz and flint. but is poisonous only in finely powdered f¢rm. "One might bredk rocks daily throughâ€" out a and blameless life, but unless a certain amount, of the fine dust was caused in the nrocess, such a small amount of silica"would be taken into the lungs that the effect would be negâ€" ligible," the article says continuing, Dr. MacDormot declares silica is the "only mineral which need be feared in inâ€" dustry." incurable Silics Dust The effects of dust on miners, millers or those factories where wool, fur mal hairs rise in clouds : The effects of dust on the lungs OI miners, millers or those who work in factories where wool, fur or other aniâ€" mal hairs rise in clouds are "negligible compared with a similar exposure to silica dust. It is an entirely different thing if the coal is associated with the silicious rock, for then the mining 0@ it will involve the harard cof silicosis." Sometimes it may not be obvious why silicosis has developed. "One would not expect to find silicosis in a chozscoâ€" late factory, for instance, but such a case has been described," Dr. Macâ€" Dermot writes. "The patient‘s work in this factory had been for years the ‘reâ€" surfacing‘ of granite millstones for erinding the choco The deepest root of silicosis is in the irritation it sets up. the article relates. Ecrar tissues form from each point of irritaticn and as it spreads through the lungs the air cells are affected to such an extxtent that eventually there is not Again a workman in a Carpel tory develoned silicosis.

The patient almost always shows a tendency toward tuberculosis, says Dr. MacDermot. Pointing to the fact siliâ€" cosis cannot be cured. he urges methods of prevention, "a very difficult matâ€" ter", and outlines recent developments in probing the disease. Fight Here Against Silicosis The article by Mr. MacDermot may remind many of the fight waged in this North against silicosis. Not only th» doctors and the governments, but also the mines, have taken the matter with the deepest seriousness Everyâ€" thing nossible has been done to miniâ€" mize the effects of the disease. Those who have made a special study of the matter hold that the disease has not made anything like the inroads it has in other miring areas, notably in South Africa. But this is not enough. They want to elimiate it altogether. To this end the mines have spared neither trouble nor expense. The McIntyre has been a leader in this. For years past Dr. Robson and J. J. Denny have been carrying on the most earnest study and investigation with the idea of securing a form of prevention of the disease. All their studies and work at discoveries have been checked by D. Banting and his coâ€"workers, and there is every reason to believe that the McIntyre investigators have made a very valuable discovery in the fight against silicosis and one that promises to minimize the danger and harm of that disease. Amusing Incidents at Border Customs (National Revenue Review, Ottawa) Many amusing incidents occur to enâ€" liven the daily routine of Customs ofâ€" ficers handlirg tourist traffic at border points. On a recent visit to Niagara Falls the Editor was informed by G. C. Gardner, Collector, of the following:â€" Honeymooners, of course, flock to Niagara Falls, and an incident in whicly the confused bridegroom produced the wrong license when asked for his regiâ€" stration card occcurred. There is usually scme hurried searching in pockets and purses when a tourist who is not used to crossing the international boundary is asked for his license card. In this particular case the Customs officer had asked for the liconse card. The young man behind the wheel fumbled through his pockets and pulling out his marâ€" riage license said proudly "there you Lady Feared Wild Animals in Canada.

Leaving the bus on which they had come and rushâ€" ing up to the wicket of the local agent of the interâ€"urban bus line, the girls demanded of the agent: "Where are the falls; we want to see them?" "Didâ€" n‘t you just come off that bus?" asked the agent. "Yes, we did, why?" th: To come a long distance expressly to see Niagara Falls and then not to zDF YOUR SAFETY In addition to these many guardians of your safety, Hydro goes still farther. Every electrical appliance or device must be approved by the H. E. P. C. Testing and Inspection Department before it goes into your home â€"every piece of electrical equipment is made as free of hazard as scientific knowledge and highlyâ€"trained technicians can make them. In addition to being an important factor in your safety, and the protection of your property, Hydro is making every effort to extend the benefits of low cost power throughout the Province of Ontario. These efforts are made in your best interests, and their success will affect your prosperity.

Frequently there are amusing inciâ€" dents due to ignorance of Canadian geography. Recently a party of tourists entered at Niagara Falls expecting to be in Canada but a few hours, during which time, however,. they intended to run down to St. Anne .de.
