FIRST TV ACROSS THE SEA

Successful Calais-Dover Link

HISTORY was made recently in the world of

television when the British Broadcasting Corporation transmitted the first television outside broadcast between two countries and across the sea. The broadcast. transntitted from the Town Square atcalals toBritiehtele- vision viewers, commemorated the centenary of the laying of the first submarine cable be- tween Calais and Dover on August 28th, 1850.

Pictures were transmitted for nearly two hourb and were hardly distinguishable from those normally transmitted from Alexandra Palace. The pictures were "beamed" across the Channel to Dover by micro-wave and then in three "hope" to London. by way of Lenham in Kent. the British Broadcasting Corporationls experimental station at Wrotham. also in Kent. and on to a receiver set up on the roof of London University. From here the programme was transmitted by landline to Alexandra Palace and Sutton Cold- ileld and broadcast from both stations.

All-Brftldi Eqafp-eat

Three television cameras, all of British manu- facture, were used for the broadcast. and the transmission: were cent across the Channel by a 30-watt "suitcase" television transmitter. which had been installed in a room above the clock in the Calais Clock Tower. The height of this transmitter and the transmission micro- wave aerial was about 300 fbet above the ground. - A crowd of over 30.000 people gathered in the, brilliantly floodlit scum outside the Oalaia Town Hall to watch the programme being per- formed on a specially erected stage in the middle . of the square. On this stage the crowd witnessed the television camera. mounted on its four- wheeleti dolly. in operation. and saw Mr. Richard Dimbleby inter-viewing various Calais oelobri ties. The aeoond camera was cited in a corner of the- equare in a high position and was used for both

neral views of the square and fun fair. and for

terviewl by Mr. Atari Adair.

MAKING CHILDHOOD SAFE FROM "KILLER" DISEASES a

sad .

Either neglect or ignorance of the facts is to blame for Cnlradals 281 deaths from diphtheria and whooping cough in 1949. it was charged by the Health League of Canada last. October in sponsoring the nation's eighth annual obser- vance of National Immunization Both diphtheria and whooping cough are preventable, the League states. through diphth- eria toxoid and whooping cough vaccine respectively. Public health officers and family doctors throughout the nation are able and willing to provide protection against these two diseases. yet both continue to take annual toll among Canada's children.

The Health League of Canada is a voluntary organization which is helping parents and the public generally to understand the "sweet reasonableness" of trying to fol- low the advice and regulation of their local Board of I-lealtli.

Irnrnunization. which prevents deaths from the two killer diseases, diphtheria. and whooping cough, as well as against smallpox. is pro- vided hy most health departments free of charge. The Health League points out that as medical science provides the means to wipe out these diseases. it is up to the gen- eral ptrblic to take full advantage of the means of preventing them.

While all of us are aware that smallpox has been wiped off the face of the earth. despite occas- ional cases with serious complic- anions, and most parents are aware of the value of diphtheria toxolds with which large cmnmunitles are kept entirely free of diphtheria. we may not realize the eel. usness of w-hoopirg cough during, and many years after an attack.

in children under two years of age. whooping cough causes more deaths than diphtheria. measles. scarlet fever. and polio combined in Canada. This is the statement of Dr. (3. H. nglin, Toronto. Yet whooping cough can be virtually eliminated by a vaccine whlchvpro- tects against whooping cough. I-Hxrther. "hopping cough may af- fect the child mentally by convuls- ions which occur during an attack. Sometimes attacks of epilepsy which begin to occur during teen age or older. can be traced to an attack of epilepsy occurring dur- ing infancy, usually during the first two years.

And some came on a long trek "out of the West" without any inkling that this trip was to take them to a fair one's docvr. We re- membered this when we were gath- crina”-up our Christmas things to- day, putting by every sign of it for another year. we folded up the wrapping: of a gay box that had brought us a gift of red-berried Holly from as far away as "The Coast." - And one spray is to be prcserved in Jamie's scrap-book to neighbor there a scented orange blossom from the sunny South - We recalled that she who had parcelled it for the folks at Alder- lea had received her Prince Charming from the same direc- tion. she was an Island girl, liv- ing a busy interesting life on a farm close by a village. A gifted pianist, she gave her talent to bless many a Church and com- munity endeavour, allowing the girlish years to slip away busily and without much interest in re- nuance.

And, then suddenly in her matur- ity - love found her out, and in a fairy-tale courtship with ,d.ia- monds and all. canted her off to a western marriage. There was a storied honeymoon too, which in- cluded a visit to Hollywood and other places of note in that far land before settling happily in a western home. she is busy still we know, but finds time to think of her Island friends. Finds time too. to read aloud from a wel- come Guardian. her hometown news to her Island sister-in-law. now obliged to live in a land .of her own, where there is no light. We think now how ungrateful we sometimes are. irked by some pass- ing disappointments or perhaps somewhat envious over mother's "green pastures" uuforgetful that we who retain our sight have riches beyond measure. so many are doomed to blindness, never- more to look upon the faces of loved ones or see the multlfareous glories of earth. except in memory.

I DEAR MISS DIX: We are 20 and 21 years of age. Both have jabs paying small salaries, but together we could be self-supporting by both iorking for a while. There are two malor dlmCllll'l9S- The ” l' first is that he may be drafted. Also, he is at- tendlng night school in order to fit himself for advancement. Would our being married hnmpcr him in his studies? And also should we wait un- til he is more certain about whether he will its drafted? We are tired of waiting. but We don't want to rush into 3 marriage that may be spoil- ed by our going into it before we are ready for it.

A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY

Prudence says: Wail. Donlt load yourselvcs down with more and heavy responsibilities when you are entering upon a new phase of life in which you cannot foretell what is going to happen to you from day to day. Prudence also says that the test of love is absence. Por- haps yours will not be stromz enough to stand it. Perhaps the girl will grow tired of waiting nnd fall in love with some other man while you are gone. Perhaps when you are away from the xlri you thought you loved and the physical attraction that drew you to her (ads: but you will thank God you didn't marry her. '
