Last week we had.another example of how this attitude has a tendency to brush off on the shoulders of the corpora- tion’s employees, there to be carried like a collection of chips. This chap was a producer in the CBC, and in his so-called search for honest criticism, asked us what our opinion was of the Corporation. We told him our main criticism was that the CBC network was the only network we could receive on our radio because of local interference, but on ‘being pressed to answer the actual question we offered the opinion that the CBC was leaning a little heavy on ‘educating’ the average listener; with theeventual hope that he will not turn the dial when an announcer informs him that the next fifteen minutes will be devoted to a recital featuring Haffensteimer’s Opus in F Major for flute. The gentleman in question answered our criticism by say- ing “Of course that is a matter of taste.” >This type of reply is hardly calculated to win friends for the C.B.C. Granted, everything about the entertainment field is largely a matter of taste, but no one likes the inference that his choice labels him as close to the level of a moron as far as his receptive appreciation of the arts is concerned. It could be, of course, that the directors of the corporation are wrong. It is extremely possible that the CBC is not produc- ing enough of the type of programs that the average listener enjoys (and at the time he can listen to them). Or perhaps the main object of the Corporation is not entertainment after all — but education. Love Thy Neighbor Why the subject of the road connecting the Chilcotin and Bella Coola continues to find such unwarranted opposition from certain businessmen in Williams Lake is more than we can fathom. At last week’s Board of Trade meeting the subject again came up when the Bella Coola Board asked for financial sup- port in its attempt to rdise funds to complete the highway link. With 1ittld money in thétreasury, thelocal Boartcould hardlet have offered monetary support, but it was apparent that even the inexpensive type labelled ‘moral support’ was not going to be forthcoming if several of the more vociferous members had their way. This ‘dog in the manger’ attitude over the Chilcotin trade is a strange one considering the high-sounding phrases used by this same Board in spreading the word of the development of the Interior to the rest of the province. On one hand we have our trade group selling the Central Interior as worthy of development because of the economic stability that wouli acrue to the remainder of the province; on the other hand we find its members unwilling to help a seaboard community that is trying desperately to become a Part of this promised expansion. Of such minor policies is world hatred patterned. Buck your neighboring town; your neighboring province; your neighboring country. It is too bad we cannot begin to look to more distant horizons than the hills around our narrow valley. In the case of Bella Coola, those men are building for the future in spite of our help. Their road construction is underway and we have the feeling that before they rest on their laurels the link will be established. We wish then every success and we know that other businessmen in Williams Lake are sym- pathetic to their major undertaking. | Niquidet Transport Williams Lake - Horsefly R. M.
