"TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

Sir,--In your issue of December 17 you announce that the B.B.C. proposes to spend over £4m. during the next three years on the development of television. I have just returned from a visit to the United States, where television (though not, I believe, more highly developed technically) has become an habitual form of entertainment in many more households than here. Among persons of my own acquaintance I found only anxiety and apprehension about the social effects of this pastime, and especially about its effect (mentally, morally, and physically) upon small children.

Before we endeavour to popularize it still further in this country, might it not be as well if we investigated its consequences for American society and took counsel with informed American opinion about possible safeguards and limitations? The fears expressed by my American friends were not such as could be allayed by the provision of only superior and harmless programmes; they were concerned with the television habit, whatever the programme might be.

Your obedient servant,
T. S. Eliot

[416]
of a very important Canadian figure, along with a considerable number of personal letters were found in a trunk in the possession of an individual who did not understand their significance. The trunk and its contents were deposited for a time in an archival collection, but apparently not immediately examined. The discovery was made accidentally by a visiting historian who happened to be keenly interested in the man and the period.
5. An instance of this has come to our attention. A portion of the political diary
6. We were told by the president of the Canadian Historical Association that the papers of the Canada Land Company, preserved in London for over a century, were sold as junk. A Canadian historian, hearing of their probable fate, tried to save them, but arrived too late to prevent their destruction.
7. Numerous organizations stressed the interdependence of national and provincial archival collections, particularly the Public Archives, the Ontario Historical Society, the Saskatchewan Archives Board, the British Columbia Historical Association.
8. Saskatchewan Archives Board, Brief, page 4.
A representative of the Canadian Historical Association spoke to us of the tremendous loss of old family papers in Quebec, bundles of which may be offered for trifling sums at sales of household effects.
9. Something should be said here of one movement in which archivists, both provincial and federal, have been interested. The Lady Tweedsmuir local histories prepared by local women's groups all over the country in competition for a prize not only result in the discovery of much archival material of local interest but make the communities concerned actively "archives conscious".
