Refreshments were served by the mothers vi grade 5 students. under the ca- pable direction of Mrs. V. Mc- Leod. Mr. Knowles‘ address was very well received and prompted a 11ver question period before *he meeting ended. People watch TV on an aver- age, for between 20 and 30 hours per week stated Mr. Knowles. The prime viewing hours are considered to be be- tween 7.30 and 10.30 in the W ening, and these will never be used for educational programs as they are too expensive. In Boston. Station WGBH charges the Board of Educatior 50c per student for their school broadcasts. The educational pro- grams on Channels 9, 11 and 6 are there, Mr Knowles stated, largely because of pressure from M.E.T.T.A. The association is now trying to get Channel 19. an ultra high frequency band‘ reserved for educational pro- grams. One of the finest educational programs presented by the CBC lately was “Let‘s Speak English" and Mr. Knowles urged that parents write to the CBC and let them know how they feel ab- out their programs. He also sug- gested that if they don't like a particular program, the parents should write to the sponsors and tell them that no more of the product will be bought until the program is discontinued. One instance of a very fine educa- tional program was one on dri- ver education in which teen ag- ers participated, broadcast from a station in London. Ontario. The chief function of the Metropolitan Toronto Televis- ion Association has been to bring pressure to bear on the Board of Broadcast Governors to make sure that enough at- tention is paid to education. Otherwise. probably all televis- ion time would he bought up hy‘ commercial interests. Now they1 are sure that some time is a!- located to education CFTO Will be presenting on Monday mow.- ings at 10 am. 26 half-hour edu- cational broadcasts. as well as one on Wednesdays at 11 an. In 1961 and 1.962, the CBC Wt]! provide .50 educational proâ€" grams. The cost of this is heavy although the Toronto Board of Education has contributed $8,000 towards these programs _In Boston. Station WGBH The chief liability of TV teaching. stated Mr. Knowles, was that it is a one-way medium. and there must be a follow-up to make it effective. Also, studâ€" ents on different levels can't be :dealt with individually. Bright‘ ‘and not-so-bright students must be handled together. It is also difficult to schedule education- al programs because if it is to be shown at a particular time. that time must be kept clear on all channels and so it must be planned for far in advance specialists who otherwise might not be able to handle more than a few schools a year, into countless classrooms. M r . Knowles also pointed out that TV was able to handle special seasonal events, like maple sug- aring. Even if 10 or 15 films were made of this. they would only be distributed to a few schools during the maple sugar season. while TV could bring the story to all schools at the ap- propriate time.

We didn‘t learn anything about Thornhill, Perthshiire, in central Scotland, but the article in the People‘s Friend made us want to buy a ticket to Thornhill in Dumfriesshire, “a little town which never fails to delight all who visit it.

Seven Thornhills Throughout World The first mishap occured when the boys were ten years old. At that time Bruce broke his leg and Brian an arm and although the accidents occurred un~ der different conditions both boys were in casts at exactly the same time. Residents in the Boyle Drive area of Langstaff are talking about the strange circumstances surrounding injuries to two neighbour- hood boys Brian and Bruce Good. The boys are identi- cal twins. the 15 year old sons of Mr. and Mrs. Har- old Good. 18 Boyle Drive. Last week Bruce broke his left wrist while toboggan- ing, the next day Brian frac- tured his right hand while repairing the toboggan. The strange thing about this otherwise common occur- ance is that it is the second time that the boys have broken limbs at the same time but in different acci- dents.
