Discussed

MONTREAL (CP) -- Dr, An- drew Stewart, chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors, said Tuesday the BBG is anx- fous to co-operate with groups seriously interested in promoting educational television.

Interviewed at the Canadian Conference on. Education rollow- ing a discussion of. “television as a teaching aid,” Dr. Stewart said the board would be willing tn entertain applications for edu- cational TV licences where ordi- nary VHF channels are avail- able.

And where regular VHF chan- nels were unavailable, there were still ultra-high frequency channels,

A. spokesman for the U.S agriculture department said the effect could be to aid greatly northern regions where potato surpluses have , been stockpiled in face of continu- ing low prices.
