Placed between two CKBI news broadcasts, Passed by the Censor gives listeners letters from over-seas friends and relatives. Only string attached: letters must have passed the censor's blue pencil. To the recipient of the letter judged best on each broadcast goes a chance to make a personal recording at CKBI to send to over-seas friend.
Well pleased with the daily stacks of script offerings that pour in is backer Northern Hardware Ltd. Originally scheduled as a once-a-week shot, listener interest caused Northern Hardware to up its schedule to twice a week.
