When science has been able to determine why people remain well, we will be able to get ahead more rapidly in treating mental dis- orders '

"There is nothing dangerous or wonderful about shook treatments, but the effect in many types oi mental illness have been most gratifying and highly successful. People would like to be made well by medicine hnd science, winch to a. certain degree is filling in where Christianity is lacking. ac- cording to some authorities."

P. E. 1. Television Prospects

Discussed By Col. S. Rogers

An intemung adclreu mimi- vision was given at the Charlotte- town Rotary Club luncheon yester- day by In. Col, KS. Rogers, presi- dent of the Island Radio. Brood- . Company, who stresed the present difficulties and cost of transmission service. "I bhlnik that in due time Charlottetown will be able to receive television. and that television may be from a trans- mitter in or close to Charlotte- town," he added. '11 this is to be brought about, however, Charlotte- town capital will, of necessity, have to be employed and in no small amount."

"From personal oorvversation with :IpPI'0X1'lIIM.&ly half this Rotary Club in the past year or more," Col, Rog- ers said, ”I have come to the con- clusiou that the average Chur- lottetovm Rotation hes a mental picture of himself and his family. in the very near future. sititim around the living:-com with all eyes focused on a 17" to 21" square piece of glam upon which will be con- tlnuously depictinx. hour after hour. the hesdiine of the day as they occur, intermingled with beautiful doncinc girls and the very best of 'Who Done I-t?' drama.

"This dream has been going on for no long that it is a source of irritation and some are beirlnninn to feel that after so lam. practical realisation of a. dream is s n - slty. Thk dream is labelled Te - vision. and for the greater part of this geographically vusit country. Canada, it is still only it dream. and for many parts of Canada will remain a dream for years to come.

"As you all know, there are good dreams and bad dreams. and very few people are as yet qualified to say in Just which category of d Television lies. should wrylmuch like to tell you something about the teo'h.nlca.l aspects of Television. but I feel that most of you are inter- ested onlv in the practical QUES- cians, vwhy haven't we got it"? and "When are we going to have

it?" ., Crude leglnninll

"relevlsioin itself is almost as old as radio. Its beginnings were lust as crude as the beginnings of re- dlo. The early pictures which I have been as far back as 1927 or 1928, were nothing more tihsm sil- houettes with. absolutely no detail to the picture. They were produc- ed by a mechanical scanning device known as the "Nlplroiw Disc".

"Dittle or no progress was made unit.i.l in the mid-lzhirties when the light sensitive electron tube was developed, giving almost instantan- eous seaming of a picture. Tele- vision developed very quickly in England and even more quickly in the United States. In the two oounitrl of course. the problems were very diliereht. It takes only five television broadcasting stations to entirely blanket the Brritldh Isles and serve some one million. seven hundred thousand Television re- ceivers. Thus five irrariomitters on aocomt of the shorter distances. can be inexpensively linked by mic- ro-wave relay stations.

"In the United states. however. some eighteen million Television receivers are being inadequately served at the present time by ap- proximately 186 Television broad- casting stwbloiis built. building. or in the planning stage. As might be expected. the better service is mo- vlded in the larger metropolitan areas like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc., where more people i.n a concentrated area are able to purchase and use more Television receivers than would be the case in a sparsely populated section.

The Canadian Picture

"Let us take a glance st the can- adian picture. As progremilve can- sdian cltimns, due to the ra id ex- pansion of Television in th Unit- ed States, it was decided to make the attempt to give Canada a mod- em Television service. Applications were received from Montreal, Tor- onto. Winnipeg, and Vancouver, several years ago for the right to, operate Television broadcasting sta- tions. These applications were in- vnriably turned down with the statement that the Board of Gov- ernors of the CBC did not propose to rscommend any private applic- ations for Television licenses at the present time.

"Subsequently the Board of Gov- ernors of the CBC made a public

In 1948 or 49, they applied for and re- ceived a loan of some four million dollars from the DcxrilniorrrGovva'rn- ment for the purpose- of building trwo Television transmitters - one an Toronto, one at Montreal. "Four years later, in 1952. tihese two lane Television trans'mi'i.ters in the whole great expanse of Canada finally opened. The four million dollars had long since been expend- ed with at least mother four mil- lion on top of that.
