GRT/Greaseball promo pays offOne of the major complaints of recordingartists and groups with their release labels isthe lack of promotional expertise and mon-ey to get the group established and theirproduct off the ground. GRT's Jeff Burnsrecently came up with both the money anda consumer attention getter, that resultedin increased album sales for the GreaseballBoogie Band in the Toronto area.Of prime concern to Burns was a promotioncampaign that would attract the eighteento twenty-four age group. A natural wasthe vehicle most used by this age groupduring the sun months - a motorcycle, andBurns managed to score four from theSuzuki people. One of the bikes was to beused as a prize, the other three as effectivedisplays in Toronto and area A 8cA stores.Burns worked with A&A's Nathen Segal andLon Appleby setting up displays, ballotboxes, rule cards and posters at the mainstore (Yonge St.) the Bloor St. store, New-tonbrook and Newmarket.CFTR Radio lent a hand to the promotionwith a heavy on -air campaign and exposureof the group's two -record set album. Duringthe contest Greaseball played the ColonialTavern and made their presence felt, gener-ally, in the Toronto area. The day of thedraw, brought a large crowd into the mainstore of A&A's where the ballot boxesfrom the other stores were emptied into alarge drum. Greaseball were on hand tomake the winning draw and Dave Cunniamwho was in the process of buying a bike, wonhimself a brand new Suzuki.

MacLEAN AND MacLEANWITHDRAWN FROM REGINAGRT's MacLean and MacLean, openingact for fellow GRTers Lighthouse, duringtheir recent cross country swing, wereresponsible for a wave of controversywhich peaked during the performances inSaskatchewan. Following a Swift Currentappearance, a cleric bought local TV timeto demand an apology for the "indecent"concert.In Saskatoon, a reviewer was driven tousing four letter words in describing M&M'sperformance. Fearing further controversy,Lighthouse leader Skip Prokop withdrewMacLean and MacLean from the Reginadate, substituting a local hotel band.Although the duo regretted the uproar inSaskatchewan, they stuck to their guns:"We do what we do, use the language we do,because the people enjoy it. We make themlaugh, and that's what our objective is.Lenny Bruce used to get hassled too."

first thing that comes to mind, is that theparty at the other end is "covering up" fora lack of motivation on their part. Recordcompany information is very important tous. A lack of action on a single or LP onour charts suddenly becomes apparent, anda quick phone call to RPM might remedy thesituation.

CHARTS AREN'T INSTANTReference is often made to the last chart wepublished and the complaint is based onTHAT chart. Meanwhile, the caller cansupply a vast number of new listings thatare his argument that will raise the item onthe charts. Little consideration is given tothe length of time that has passed since wecompiled the chart being complained about.One thing I can stress here is the fact thatbecause there are so many of this type ofphone call, they tend to have very littlevalue. What does have a great deal of valueis the telex that outlines the radio play andsales action of a single or LP. No telex isever ignored in this office, and all telexesdealing with the chart are immediately for-warded to the individual involved.

UNWARRANTED CRITICISMYou may construe this column as beingcritical of the efficiency of record companypromotion people. Look rather at thiscolumn as having been caused by criticismof the credibility of RPM's chart.Strangely enough, checking of our chartagainst information supplied to The Program-mers continues to indicate that we areamazingly accurate in our computing.

THE NERVE ...The hypocracy of criticising the chart and itseffectiveness and then turning around andphoning to complain about the listingsand the action, seems consistent with thethinking that goes on out there.Like the artist who says to his manager,"What have you done for me today?", theidea would incense anyone.Quite often we have been told that a recordis released in Canada and find out a few

MUSHROOM'S "BELIEVE"CATCHING NATIONALLYAfter several weeks in the lower end of theRPM 100, "I Believe" by Songbird, a westcoast entry on the Mushroom label, wasdropped. However, this week, the label'sShelly Siegel reports sales of more than 8 0 0 0,numbers on twelve charts and "We haveover sixty stations on it. Every market in thecountry is playing the damn thing and wehave been getting consistent new charts andplaylists."Those stations Siegel reports as showingstrong chart numbers are: CKLG/Vancouver,CKXL/Calgary, CHED/Edmonton, CHSJ/Saint John, CJCJ/Woodstock, New Bruns-wick, CK RC/Winnipeg, CKBB/Barrie, CKGM/Montreal.

Pop stations listing the single include: CFCF/Montreal, CJAD/Edmonton, CF RW/Winni-peg, CKCK/Regina, CKOM/Saskatoon,CFRA/Ottawa, and others.The Jayson Hoover single, "Love Will GetYou", is also picking up in chart and play -list numbers. Siegel reports latest additionsas CHED/Edmonton, CKXL/Calgary,CHNL/Kamloops, CFUN/Vancouver, CKCK/Regina, CFGO/Ottawa and more.

weeks later, that the record wasn't releasedand isn't going to be. The same goes for8 -track and cassettes that won't be releasedand later show up as being available.Here we sit, publishing the most thoroughand respected record source book in Canadaon a weekly basis, and the trade is costingthemselves a fortune because of their inef-ficiency.Too often we will be barraged with phonecalls about one single. The record companyphones, the artist phones, the managerphones and sometimes even the publisherof the song calls (if not the songwriterhimself).In a country where few people realize what amusic industry trade weekly is, it is ludicrousto criticize RPM and our activities. We needyour encouragement and support, not yourhypercriticism.Small wonder that many major radio stationsfeel that promotion men don't do their jobswell and waste the radio stations time bycalling.It isn't our function to criticize promotionmen or cause discontent in the industry, butwe certainly have the right to reflect theindustry's complaints about RPM. If RPMsuddenly resembles a textbook on promo-tion, it would be a great service to the indus-try.

NO TIGHT LITTLE SHIPNo, Virginia, the record industry in Canadaisn't the tightest little ship in the world, andthe problems of the industry shouldn't beheaped on the shoulders of RPM.If there's no room for improvement, we cango on the way we have for years, but it ismy understanding that the music business isbecoming one of the largest industries in theworld, and it's a shame to think that 80 yearslater we are experiencing growing pains ...or menopause.

GRT continued from page 1The end result, of course, was the successfulbuilding of an image for Greaseball BoogieBand in the plum of the market. What wasmost important was the value of this typeof promotion to GRT, A&A and Suzuki.With a little more ingenuity and not muchmore money, the promotion could havebeen nationwide in scope - and that'swhat GRT and Burns now have in mind.The contest was so successful Suzuki haveindicated they will be working very closewith GRT on future promotions. These willinvolve GRT's distributors - Emerson Sales/B.C., Laurel Records/Manitoba and Saskatch-ewan, Taylor, Pearson & Carson/Albertaand with their own branch offices in Quebecand the Atlantic Provinces.The Greaseball Boogie Band will be con-centrating much of their effort on theToronto market in the weeks to come. Theywill be appearing shortly at the El Mocamboand Ontario Place with cross -Canada tourdates to be finalized over the next fewweeks. A new single will be released by mid -August.

NASHVILLE ARTISTSTO MARATHON ROSTERMarathon Records, Canada's largestindependent Canadian country label, hasannounced the signing of U.S. based countryartists, Donna Darlene, Shot Jackson andThe Calhoun Twins.

A Canadian mailingon the single has already been actioned.Shot Jackson, well-known dobro guitarist,will shortly bow an instrumental album,"Straight Ahead" which features Eastwindsteel player Bob Lucier. His dobro-ing canalso be heard on wife Donna's "Testing".

STUDIO SIX SCORESA CANADIAN FIRSTJudy Gray, manager of Montreal's StudioSix, reports their clientele have now acceptedthe studio's computer remix section of theirnewly installed console and are using itextensively in their album work. Accordingto Gray this is "the first such operatingsystem in Canada, and has proven to be aworthwhile investment for the studio".

The computer mixing system providesinstant and individual memory for each ofthe system's thirty-two faders. During a con-ventional, multi -track mixdown, all levelchanges are therefore remembered, recalled,or altered when necessary. This allows theproducer an extra freedom to build a mixcreatively rather than being limited by the

operation of all the faders during asingle pass.Those using the computerized system include:Les Seguins and Jesse Winchester for WEAand Jim and Bertrand and Jacques Michel.Other studio activities included a session forEllen Mclliwaine, just signed to Kot'aiRecords. Initial single will be Stevie Won-der's "Higher Ground" to be released byUnited Artists. The session was producedby Bill Gagnon of the Ville Emard BluesBand with Chuck Gray looking afterengineering chores.

What's wrong withCanadian country????

PART ONE

by WALT GREALIS

One shpt at the problems of Canadiancountry music won't put everything right,in fact it will probably get a lot of backs up.On the other hand perhaps that's justwhat's needed.

Being as you are programmers and recordpeople you are aware that more than 85% ofall Canadian radio stations in Canada pro-gram some country music. We have a goodnumber that program only country musicincluding the usual "class conscious" FMoutlet. Unfortunately like their pop andcontemporary rock cousins, record peopleargue that country programmers just "don'tgive a damn" about Canadian country music- and country programmers argue the lackof good quality Canadian country records -and so the battle goes on with only thecountry performer wondering "what thehell's wrong with Canadian country???"A quick look at the country charts acrossCanada would lead one to believe thatperhaps the record companies are fallingdown on the production of Cancon singles.Country programmers playlist and chartpractically every Cancon country singlereleased (check your charts). But what indi-cation do these programmers receive fromrecord companies that those records reallydeserve to be charted - or even aired? Itwould be interesting to discover just howmany Cancon country singles sold 5000copies. How about 3000 copies? You, Mr.Programmer, what influenced you to pro-gram that last Canadian country single youreceived? You'll probably have to admit tothe pressures of the CRTC 30% CanadianContent Ruling.Let's take a look at the RPM Country Play -list - and remember it's only a playlist. DickDamron, a Columbia recording artist, iscurrently popular with "Bitter Sweet Songs".Any promotion that you have received oradvertising you've seen has been supplied byDamron himself. He's a country hustler whopays for his own sessions and works his buttoff on personal appearances just so he cankeep following up his single with moresingles and albums. Bruce Miller is high onyour popularity list with his A&M entry of"Anna Marie". Here, we have a differentapproach. A&M, newly into the countrygame, unleashed their promotion talents tobring Miller home., Ian Tyson's "GreatCanadian Tour" and an American entry,"When The Morning Comes" by Hoyt Axton.Experts in music, knowing full well that

Members of Celebration's Harmoniumbackstage after recent successful concertat Place des Arts. Both concerts sold out.

country alone just wouldn't supply thenecessary monetary return, A&M concen-trated on productions that were countryinfluenced but ripe for crossover action.That's the trend - check your contempor-ary rock charts: Charlie Rich, Tom T. Hall,Jim Stafford, Anne Murray, Mickey Gilley,Olivia Newton -John, Donna Fargo and on andon. Another Canadian with a country influ-ence for A&M is Lorence Hud with "SongThat Annie Sings", already crossed over tothe pop playlist and making moves towardsthe Contemporary Rock 100.

Check further down the chart and you'llfind Mike Graham with "Battle Of NewOrleans" on United Artists. Graham hadthe advantage of co -hosting a CBC-TVcountry show as well as a heavy club andconcert schedule. Did his single sell 3000copies? Now we come to two very indepen-dent"independent"record companies -smallbut big on pride. Marathon Records andGaiety Records. Let's take Marathon first.

Toronto -based and headed up by JackBoswell, a very shrewd business man. Bos-well wants a buck and more in return forhis investment. He was stung several timesleasing product to record companies anddecided to set up his own rack jobbingoperation throughout the Atlantic Provinces.Is he successful in selling Cancon records?First of all, that's all he does sell - and yes,he does sell records. It's doubtful thoughthat he sells a lot of singles. His bread andbutter is album product. His organizationboasts an energetic sales and promotionteam; Wally Hill, Jack Hosier and DougTaylor - and they do promote their product,when they can afford it and when the talentjustifies it.You might just interpret this as a troublearea that bears looking into. Do recordcompanies release too much product by newartists instead of developing what they have?Do they take the attitude of "if we throwenough crap up against the wall, some of itwill stick?" Marathon would appear to behaving a measure of success with DianeLeigh's "His Kind Of Woman", "PlantThe Seeds" by Joe Firth and Donna Moon's"Baby & Me". They're now hustling a newlabel, Condor, with new artists the NewmanSisters/"Standing On The Promises" and"Happy Birthday" by Con Archer, andthey're happening - on programmer's listsand charts but what about sales? Will they

Gary O'Brien, music director at CKLCKingston with Canadian Talent Libraryrecording artist Cathy Stewart.

sell 3000 copies each?

Take the Thunder Bay -based Gaiety Recordsand their current chart happener, "LittleBoy Blue" by Carroll Baker, a charmer whohas been constant on the charts and one whoshows up anywhere, anytime to promoteher recorded product. Baker is probablythe epitome of the Canadian country singer- friendly, courteous and talented but astar restricted, up to now, to the countryfield. Gaiety is a small record company.Principals Chuck Williams and Don Grasheyare working against tremendous odds.Does Baker sell 3000 copies of each of hersingles?Boot Records is represented ontthe CountryPlaylist by the Country Edition with "If ICould Close My Eyes", but Stompin' TomConnors, who originated the Boot label withJury Krytiuk and started it all with his firstbig hit "Bud The Spud" has lost a lot ofhis sales power. What must he think iswrong with Canadian country? Fortunatelyfor Boot they have expanded into the musicpublishing business and some of the otherendeavours that Connors has involved him-self with have paid off. Boot is a verysuccessful country label but have theyspawned any country stars? Is there a starsystem in Canadian country? Is there in fact,any comradery in Canadian country music?(Next week: More questions - perhapssome answers!)

HYMN SING SUCCESSPROMPTS 2ND ALBUM

Waterloo Music has released, "How GreatThou Art", featuring Eric Wild's popularCBC Hymn Sing Chorus, their secondalbum release by the Winnipeg -basedchoir. Using piano, harpsichord, celeste,organ, bass and tambourine instrumentalaccompaniment, the album contains manyof the show's most requested numbersincluding: "Abide With Me", "WhisperingHope", "Nearer, My God To Thee" andothers. The album was produced at Century21 Studios in Winnipeg and is being releasedon the Waterloo label.

William Brubacher, manager of the publish-ing and recording division of Waterloo,reports a heavy demand for the group'sfirst album and is of the opinion that manysales were missed because of a lack ofdistribution. Loyal viewers of the CBCshow apparently attempted to purchasethe album at their local record stores buthad to to writing to the CBC forinformation. Brubacher approached distri-butors with the release of the first albumbut was unsuccessful in obtaining nationaldistribution and set up the firm's owndirect mail service. CBC-TV's "HymnSing!' is one of the longest running weeklyofferings by the CBC Network and is seeneach week by more than a million and aquarter viewers, putting albums by thegroup in the class of "top potential".

Brubacher is still looking for a nationaldistributor. Those interested should directenquiries to him at 3 Regina St. North,Waterloo, Ontario N21 2Z7 or telephone(519) 743-4388.

Waterloo has been in the music publishingbusiness for fifty years and the recordingof Wild's group is the beginning of a newera for the firm. Says Brubacher: "It'sonly natural and logical for us to nowdirect our attention to the Canadian popmusic writer and performer".

The campaign and the invasionHuddled around a board room table is ateam of busy young executives planning acampaign to launch a new piece of product.

As the meeting goes on, the promotion, thepackaging, the PR and the advertising strat-

egy are all discussed and planned in aneffort to launch the product and invade themarket. Ideas are tossed back and forth andnotes are made. The right approach must betaken at every point in the campaign. Tensof thousands (if not hundreds of thousands)of dollars are at stake but even more import-ant, the team that is working on this cam-paign have the pride of their unified effort

LIGHTHOUSE DRAW 12,000TO WINNIPEG CONCERTGRT's flagship rockers, Lighthouse, jammedtwo shows at Winnipeg's Rainbow Stage,June 21 and 22, at six bucks a head. Besidesthe paying customers, thousands of fansflooded a park nearby the outdoor venueto catch a glimpse of the group. Accordingto reports from Winnipeg, fans journeyedfrom such far away places as Minnesotaand North Dakota to see Lighthouse.

A minor incident took place during the con-cert when disgruntled fans, who had beenturned away at the door, stormed the gates.The concert was presented by CKRC as partof its Super Summer '74 promotion.

,POLYDOR ACQUIRESEARLY ANKA PRODUCTPolydor's A&R Director, Frank Gould,advises of the acquisition of all Paul Ankamaterial that originally released on theABC/Paramount label during the late 50sand early 60s. Involved in the deal are ninesingles and eighteen titles, set for release byJuly 15th as part of Polydor's MouldyOldies series.

Included in the release will be: "Diana"(PC 1046 , "You Are My Destiny"(PC 1047 , "Lonely Boy" (PC 1049),"Tonight My Love, Tonight" (PC 1053). A"Greatest Hits" album is being scheduledfor an early fall release.The above deal was firmed by Gould andWilliam Buster of Eric Records of Philadel-phia.

to launch and complete the campaign andbeat out their competitors.A great deal of time is spent in the discussionof the approach that should be taken. Thepackaging has been seen by all and is dis-cussed and plans are made for additionalphotographs to be taken for the press kitsthat will be prepared. The angle that willbe used in their advertising is discussedand every aspect of the advertising campaignis thoroughly gone over.Just viewing this meeting and the effortthat goes into the planning would inspireanyone. Everyone believes in the productand everyone believes in the campaign andin the ability of the team to beat out thecompetition.THAT'S HOW IT'S DONEIf you think I have just described a meetingthat would launch a new recording artist ora new label ... you're pretty naive. In allmy years in the record business I have seennothing that vaguely resembles this kindof an effort put forth to introduce a newrecord.With so much product coming out on themarket, you might say that it would beimpossible to put that much of a concen-trated effort into getting a campaign goingfor every artist and label that comes on thescene.

The record industry in Canada has neverhad to campaign to get records and artistsstarted, and a meeting like the one describedabove doesn't happen. Nor are there suchmeetings on a smaller scale. One wondersjust what could be done if an intense effortwere made to promo the next big artist intothe world market.

POTENTIAL MAY BE DISILLUSIONINGWell, there are reasons that Canadian recordcompanies don't spend that much time, effortand money to build an act. The potential inCanada doesn't warrant the effort, and there isno guarantee that a successful campaignthat will create a star in Canada will spreadthroughout the world.The result is that promotion takes a verylow key role in the record company. Promomen end up working on that which isalready successful and furthering thatwhich is already assured.

It was a few years ago when someone askedwhy we should produce records in Canadawhen so many good records come out of theUnited States. That can be taken one stepfurther and you could ask why we wouldlaunch a promotion of a Canadian artist whenso many good promotions originate in the

A&M's Nazareth with the label's westcoast promo rep, Bruce Bissell duringsuccessful Vancouver Coliseum date.

United States AND THE UNITED KING-DOM ... and that is where the answer lies.The fact that the British invasion happenedoutside of the U.K. is an indication that thecampaign can become an invasion of theinternational market.Years ago, production and talent werecriticized. Today, the facilities and thecraftsmen and the people involved in theallied arts of the music industry are anindication that Canada can produce a hit.Now the question is ... can we promotea hit into the international market?

DOOR -OPENER TOINTERNATIONAL MARKETFew record heads and promo people realizethat the biggest door -opener to the inter-national market is a hit in your owncountry. It has happened in Canada a num-ber of times, by accident. We should nowlaunch the campaigns that will make ithappen with intent.REMEDY: Release fewer records, but ofhigher quality. Establish a budget and cam-paign to promo the artist that is as big asthe production cost. Put sizeable headmoney in front for leased masters so thatthe record company really gets their feet wet.Compete with the independent labels thatare making the major record companieslook like amateurs.

The prospectus of a campaign to launch anew artist should be as big as the artist andthe session. If you can't stand the heat, passon the artist.

SHIT AGAINST THE WALLPromotion and starbuilding better becomean art in Canada. The philosophy that ifyou throw enough shit up against the wall... some of it will stick, has proven to bean expensive proposition that didn't work.Tear a page out of the book of foreignstars, and get organized.It's 1974, and the Government of Canadahas handed the record industry a chance todevelop a star system. It might be wise toget off your asses before someone decidesthat the system is being suppressed ... orare you going to wait for the writing toappear on the wall.

STAYING STATUS QUOThis series would not be possible if I weretrying to make friends. It is time to re-eval-uate the system. Is IS being criticized andif I'm wrong, YOU have the option ofstaying status quo.Now get out there and FIGHT FIGHTFIGHT! You may even get to enjoy it andthe clang clang clang of the cash registers.Next week: This is an 8 by 10 glossy photo.This is a press release.

.1.. LETTERS.1 r 1A to the editor

ARE WE KILLINGOUR TALENT????July 2/74I thought I would pass along some observa-tions of the current Canadian Music situa-tion and my opinion about the effect todate of CanCon.It was rather discouraging to see two of ourcountries strongest and most talented artistsinvolved in a situation beyond their controland one which is destroying them in thiscountry. I am referring to Gordon Lightfootand Anne Murray. Let me illustrate mypoint with fact.Gordon Lightfoot is having phenomenalsuccess with both the LP and the single of"Sundown". Have you noticed that inCanada at all the major stations his singlewent to No. 5 only while it reached No. 1 or2 at least at virtually every U.S. major.Why? The LP situation is the same with Top10 sales in Canada, which is great, but Ihave not seen No. 1 sales here as opposedto the U.S. where it is a gangbuster No. 1.COULD WE BE KILLING GORDON LIGHT -FOOT. IS "SUNDOWN" JUST ANOTHERLIGHTFOOT SONG TO CANADIANS?Even more obvious is the case of AnneMurray. "You Won't See Me" is one ofthe best singles she has ever had. What Talent!Heading for gold in the U.S. for sure. InCanada, well we thought we had a winnerbut it only squeaked into No. 15 and wasdropped after 7 weeks. Was this just anotherAnne Murray record?Are we guilty of massmurder of our best talent?

Recently Terry Jacks and I were returningfrom a speaking engagement and we werediscussing this very point. During the con-versation a Lightfoot song came on, Terrysmiled - pushed the button and we heardthe intro to "Danny's Song", he punchedto a third station and there was Lightfootagain. Honest Goods! It ended our discus-sion and tuned to KJ R and the hits!The situation is critical, we all know it, butno one is speaking out because of the frustra-tion of realizing your screaming at yourself.There will be many rationalizations for theabove situation, all I can return to is thestatistical facts which continue to raiseunanswered questions.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTA LARGE HEADACHE!!!!!July 9/74I read with great interest your article (RPM,July 13) entitled, "Commercials Don'tHave To Be Bad to Be Good."In particular, the part that intrigued memost was that which dealt with the use ofmusic from commercial recordings in theproduction of radio spots.Since this article did not touch upon thelegal implications of such practices, I amtaking this opportunity to do so.Most of the compositions released com-mercially are copyrighted. Therefore, it isagainst the law to use any of it in a TV orradio commercial without the prior permis-sion from the copyright owner.

RPM 2017174 - - - 11

We, as publishers, are constantly confrontedwith such instances of copyright infringe-ment. However, it seems to us that much ofthis is due to a lack of awareness on the partof the infringing radio stations or producers.Consequently, I'd like to stress to all thoseinvolved in productions such as mentionedin your article, that it is absolutely mandatorythat they negotiate with the copyrightowners for the fee involved and the requiredlicense.

MORE INFO & BREAKSON GREATEST HITS!!!This letter is directed at our record com-panies - re: Greatest Hits packages.1. When a record is released it shouldcontain a minimum of 14 songs of artists'best works. If that number strains themusic then the artist doesn't deserve aGreatest Hits. The number adds to salesappeal and because recording costs etc.have already been paid then a bonus shouldbe passed on to public.2. Greatest Hits packages should bereviewed every couple of years. An exampleis Bread's Great Hits Vol. I & II. This,in a couple years should be trimmed to 1tight record. Same as Byrds Vol. I & II, etc.3. Great Hits packages should somewherecontain a lot of information - re: songsand artist. The public likes this and it com-pletes the total aspect of the record.4. Record companies should make availablediscontinued great hits not only for potentialsales but because the music is art and itshouldn't be lost to the public.Examples areGerry & the PacemakersTurtles Vol I & II (combine for 1 strong

LPYardbirds (a strong package could be

compiled.The list goes on. I urge stronger packageswith more concern shown.Al CornellSam the Record ManBrantford, Ontario.

CANADIAN BRASS/CLEMENTSHARE ACTION AT BOOTThe recent album release by the CanadianBrass (a classical outing produced by EleanorSniderman) has become Boot's secondbiggest seller - next to Stompin' TomConnors.

Through the kind permission of JackDennett and radio station CFRB, the Den -nett editorial is reprinted here, in its entirety."The Stock Markets dipped again todayand while some of the decline here can beattributed to world conditions, such asinflation and high interest rates, part ofthe blame for our own market slide can beattributed to the fact that not one candidatein the upcoming federal election seems tohave the courage anymore to put his nameon the line as running on the free enter-prise ticket."Forty years ago this was the proud boast(sf both the Liberals and the Conservatives.What's so puzzling is the fact that the nameConservative has been retained, but theConservative philosophy has not. TheLiberals today are further to the left thanthe N.D.P. was ten years ago and, sadly, inthe view of many, we seem to be slippinginto the stage of the welfare state wherepeople eventually say ...'to hell withworking ... to hell with saving ... let'sblow the wad ... because we now have theassurance of the government and the politi-cians that even if the roof falls in, they'lllook after us'. What many of these short-sighted politicians and political philosophersfail to realize is that without business, largeand small, as we know it, there will bevirtually no taxes earned from corporations."When corporations and small firms don'tmake money, they don't hire people towork for them, and when people don'thave jobs, they don't earn money on whichto pay taxes ... and when the governmentdoesn't get money from the people, it hasn'tany money to keep those who seemed soanxious to rely on the state."After travelling across this land for thous-ands of miles in election campaigns, andlistening to hundreds of politicians givetheir story of how they're going to cure allour ills, and after being on the air withseven Canadian Prime Ministers, I stillthink the greatest and most pungent politi-

cal comment I've ever heard came in thoseoft -repeated two quotes from Sir WinstonChurchill years ago, when he said ... 'Social-ism is the philosophy of failure, the creed ofignorance and the gospel of envy.' He added... 'The inherent vice of capitalism is theuneven division of blessings, whereas theinherent virtue of socialism is the evendivision of misery.'"There is nothing that would please meor the majority of Canadians, I'm sure, morethan to see everyone with plenty of moneyto keep them comfortable and have peaceof mind. But this sort of Utopia has neverbeen attained in any land in history bytrying to tear down wealth, in order to propup poverty. In Russia, things are on a prettyeven basis ... everyone struggles with vir-tually nothing and, sad to say, it's thatenvious philosophy of bringing everyonedown to the 'level of the lowest', that'sgoing to hurt the majority of people in thewestern world over coming years."Today it's almost a crime, or considered so,to be a success. It's not right to be thriftyand astute, so that you can save and becomesecure. There are those who would relievethe successful of their life's rewards to giveto those, who often through their own

CAB CLOSES ITSTORONTO BRANCHThe Canadian Association of Broadcasters(CAB) have announced the closing of theirbranch office in Toronto, effective July1st, 1974.In making the above announcement, Dr.Pierre Camu, president of the CAB, noted:"The consolidation of all CAB services inthe head office in Ottawa will provide a moreeffective and streamlined operation resultingin better control of activities, some savingof costs and more efficient use of existingstaff". A recent study on Restructuring ofthe Association recommended the closingof both the Toronto and Montreal branchoffices. The latter was closed in April ofthis year.Gerry Acton, manager of the Torontooffice, returns to Ottawa as director -Industry and Public Relations. He will beresponsible for liaison with industry associa-tions, consumer, academic and communitygroups and general public relations duties.Acton first joined the Association in 1951and succeeded Ruth Hancock as managerof the Toronto office on her death inDecember of last year. Acton will continueto serve as executive secretary of the Cen-tral Canada Broadcasters' Association, nowlocated at Suite 909, 85 Sparks St., OttawaK1 P 552.

irresponsibility, have not reached the samelevel. Of course, the ones who should behelped are those who have remained at thebottom of the scale through no fault oftheir own. There is nothing that will squelchhuman initiative more than a guarantee thatthe government will look after you. Justremember all the promises made by politicalhopefuls will be paid for with your moneyand not theirs."It's saddening to think that Canadians placehandouts and guarantees of government aid,as something honourable. I can remember theday when it was considered something of a

shame by those who were proud of theirability to make it on their own. As I'vesaid before, any government which taxesaway the rewards of responsible behaviourand effort, so it can remove the penaltiesfor irresponsible behaviour, is not somethingwe need or want in Canada.

"So come on all you people running foroffice in Ottawa ... let's take a standand quit this vacillation. Let's have a cleardivision ... let's know your objectiveswhether for the system that's kept Canadagoing for 107 years, which is free enterpriseand personal human initiative, or whetherit's for socialism and having a governmentgiving all the orders."And don't get social improvements confusedwith socialistic philosophy ... because they'repoles apart."Copyright (c) 1974 by Jack Dennett

CJ VI RESCUESSINKING CFAXCJVI Victoria has met with a good deal offavourable publicity for the efforts of itsMarine Cruiser. The boat, usually mooredin Sidney on the island, is often closerto scenes of distress than police boats andconsequently makes an heroic rescue ortwo.Recently, the cruiser was called upon torescue a sinking bathtub and its woe -begoneskipper, while saving the sailor, the CJVIboys noticed the competition, the CFAXcruiser, had flipped over. Hauling the sailoron board and cutting the bathtub adrift,they headed over to the CFAX boat, whichby this time had righted itself, and accom-panied it into harbour.
