-4- On opening day of the winter Olympics at Cortina D'Ampez- zon, Italy, nearly three hours of telecasts were carried by Eurovision to Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, France, Belgium and Great Britain with commentary in six languages. Sir Tom O'Brien past president of the Trades Union Con¬ gress, advocated in the March issue of TV Newsletter the formation of an Anglo-American Television Council. Sir O'Brien said, "We do not want an American-dominated television market in Britain, and there can be no British-dominated market in America. In both communities and in the Commonwealth there has to be some kind of reciprocal agreement." He further felt that such a council could stop mutual accusations and "brick-bats" which are being hurled. "There must be recip¬ rocal trade agreements," continues Sir O'Brien, "and now is the time for them to be negotiated. It is useless to let the posi¬ tion deteriorate, and then ask the Governments to step in when the industry itself should have acted in the first place." Eighteen months ago the first experiment in the use of TV in Canadian classrooms was presented by the National Advisory Council on School Broadcasting and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Such'interest was aroused among teachers and education officials that the Council recommended a further experiment on a larger scale. All the arrangements are now complete and this second TV-for-schools trial started April 17 with the presentation on the CBC-TV network of the first of 15 specially prepared telecasts of 10, 20, or 30 minutes in length..- This second series'involves a wider range of grades and subjects than the first, but its aim is the same—to help determine the role TV can play as a supplement to regular classroom lessons. Many teachers have helped to develop the experiment and all taking part by using the telecasts in their classes are urged to help with the evaluation.
