Reaction to this suggestion is being elicited by the BBG from the five applicants appearing before the board here this week in support of their bids for a licence to operate Edmonton's second TV station. The publicly owned CBC, itself one of the applicants, appears solidly against the idea.

J. Al-phone Ouimet, corporation president, told the board Tuesday he couldn't give a categorical "no" to the Dossibility because it still MONTREAL (CP) Montreal's internationally known brain surgeon. Dr. Wilder Penfield, 69, announced his resignation Wednesday as director of the Montreal Neurological Institute, a department of McGill University. At the institute's annual meeting.

But bofore you go to work with patching compound, hammer and chisel, look for the possible cause of the leaking.

Downspouting that doesn't carry the water away from the house, gutters that leak and permit water to soak the foundation right to its base are two conditions that you might have overlooked. Look for other reasons for water backing up around the foundation land graded toward your house for example. Often correcting these conditions will help the problem. Major Job If drainage conditions are such that you can't keep water away you may have to get the foundation waterproofed on the outside. It's a job that calls for excavating.

Excepting such extreme conditions, you can do a pretty good job of waterproofing from the inside. There are heavy-duty waterproof coatings that will bond themselves to the wall, and effectively end water seepage. They are generally in dry powder form and are mixed with water just before using. Not all cement-based, dry form paints are waterproofing agents. Some are simply paints, fine for decorating purposes and even some moisture-proofing, but not for checking seepage.

Check the label carefully and make certain the product is manufactured for the purpose you want it. Cleaning Read the instructions. You'll probably find that the material cannot be used over paint, calcimine or whitewash. Generally, it can be used over a cement-based paint in good condition.

Thus the station would be in the same position as the new stations being established by the government on BBG recommendationsin the seven other Canadian cities where the old "single channel" policy has been abolished in favor of local competition. Won't Share Programs Mr. Ouimet told a board hearing in Ottawa last November the corporation has no Intention of supplying programs to these new private stations. They would have to be different programs.

How would the programs be allocated? This is the big question in the CBC's corporate mind. Which of the two local stations would carry National Hockey the licence held by CFRN-TV.

DINETTE by Operating and Renting A A if MECHANICAL SHOVELS ic TRAILERS BULLDOZERS 'S I Small Beefs Loom Large Sometimes a little thing, some petty annoyance, can bother you out of all proportion. Seems to me television is especially vulnerable to this effect. It happened to me last night during the final program in the excellent Explorations series on mental illnesses. Mr. Robert Anderson, whose own film company produced the series for the CBC, was doing the interviewing as usual, and I suddenly got the feeling that he was putting on an act.

The trick he was using is a common enough one with interviewers that of assuming what he thinks would be the role of Joe Viewer. Instead of simply being the dispassionate professional interviewer, he attempts to adopt the prejudiced view he believes the man on the street has. Thus he becomes an actor. This has its limited uses, but the trouble is there are too many men on the street. The technique may reach some of them, but it annoys others, myself among them.

I don't like to be aware of a striving for an effect, and Mr. Anderson is not a good enough actor to pull this stunt off. So much for that. It was just enough to take the edge off my enjoyment of what was really a very good series. There was another weakness in the series that might be pointed out.

There's a little ham in everybody, including the mentally ill, and there's nothing that brings it out as quickly as a television camera. The four patients who were examined in these programs were volunteers who agreed to appear with the idea that they might help others by doing so. They knew they were on display, and such knowledge is going to affect anybody. That's inevitable. Put a camera on a man and he becomes an actor.

So in evaluating what we saw of these people, we ought to bear in mind that they knew we were watching, and what we saw may not have been an absolutely valid clinical picture. I thought this was especially noticeable in the second program, the one on anxiety. There's a way around this problem, and it's been used successfully in other programs on the same subject. It Is, to film first and ask questions afterward. The subjects are shot with a hidden camera, and subsequently asked for permission to use the film.

This, of course, could get expensive if you ran- into a string of un-co-operative patients, but it has worked. Such a method might have added to the impact of this series. But by these objections, I don't mean to knock it. Generally speaking, the series has been a TV milestone, and it probably will win an award or two somewhere. It deserves to.

All I could think about while watching Perry Como last night was Monday afternoon's feature film, in which Mr. C. played a major supporting role. That picture (Doll Face) was made 14 years ago, and barber or not, the Como hairline has done some receding in those 14 years. So help me, I didn't even recognize him until he started to sing.

Some rough edges have worn off his voice, but it's changed a lot less than his appearance. Tonight Were I a betting man, I would bet on tonight's late movie as being one of the better ones. It's a 1952 British comedy, Curtain Up, starring Robert Morley and Margaret Rutherford, two people who, for my money, are funny no matter what they do. Especially her. It's about an old gal who has written a bad play and whose chief virtue is that she's the aunt of a banker.
