RETURN JOURNEY. Dramatizedstories of personal problems; scripts byGeorge Salverson. Esse Ljungh, pro-ducer. From Toronto.

Return Journey begins its fourthseason on December 15 with a newseries of plays about rehabilitation.

In other years scriptwriter GeorgeSalverson has dealt with the adjust-ment problems of people with perma-nent injuries, of people who have beenconvicted of crimes, and of alcoholics.Now he has dramatized the stories ofunhappy men, women and childrenwho have needed personal help, andfound it, sometimes through a welfareagency.

The series is not a demonstration ofsocial agency work, but it shows howpeople in troubleoften have their faithin their own importance restored aftersharing their problems with a sympa-thetic social worker. Salverson looks atagency work objectively, not hesitatingto show where it may have fallendown on the job.

There will be six programs in theseries. Production is by Esse Ljunghwith an anonymous cast of performers.The first two broadcasts will deal withthe problems of the aged—their feelingof rejection because they are con-sidered too old to work or even tohelp in family life. In the next twoprograms Salverson will tell aboutchildren who are in need of lovingcare and are helped in finding it. Thelast two will show how marital prob-

lems can often be solved with the aidof people who specialize in marriageand family counselling.

If any of the stories seem in-credible, the listener can be sure thatsomething similar really did happen.Salverson consulted with dozens ofwelfare workers, and his plays arecomposite pictures of the rehabilitationproblems that reach welfare agenciesacross the country by the hundredevery day.Dom. 9:30 p.m. MST

VANCOUVER THEATRE. Told on aChristmas Night, by Antonia Ridge.A tale of Saint Galonnek, who met adevil named William, and with theassistance of a few archangels, beathim at his own game. “This,” says theintroduction, “is a story told oneChristmas night by my uncle Juleswho kept a small cafe-restaurant in aback street in Marseilles. So I am notprepared to lay my hand on my heartand swear it is one hundred per centgenuine folklore. Oh, no! My uncleJules, you understand, was a borntalker. If a story could be improvedupon my uncle Jules wasted no time—he straightway improved it, oftenbeyond recognition. My uncle Jules

said, give him the old days whenghosts were ghosts—fine, rip-roaringruffians that you’d be enchanted tomeet in either world. The same wentfor the saints as well. None of thesenarrow-minded bigots for my uncleJules. Give him the homely, free-and-easy types who’d give the devil him-self a break—within reason, of course.”W-ll :30 p.m. K-10:30 p.m. X-10:30 p.m.

ROLAND LEDUC(Continued from page 1)

an institution in 1953. A year after itsdebut on Trans-Canada it joined theFrench network, reaching the entirenational audience. The Mutual Broad-casting System carried one of the sum-mer series throughout the UnitedStates. Finally, the program gainedsome sort of official distinction by win-ning several awards.

Leduc himself, and his wife, pro-vide the inspiration for the orchestra’sunusual repertoire. She is AnnetteLasalle Leduc, a violinist of note andnow a member of the orchestra, butalso a critic with a wide knowledgeof the culture of the 16th and 17thcenturies. Her extensive library is acommon family interest, and when shewas asked some years ago to write thescripts for a CBC French-networkmusic-education series dealing withthe late Renaissance, it was logical thather husband should direct the music.It was the instrumental group formedat that time which became the LittleSymphony Orchestra.

One of Leduc’s main concerns is theprocuring of scores for the orchestra.When he goes on one of his hunts,whether it be to New York, to Boston,to Washington, or to the capitals ofEurope, his knowledge of the com-posers and their times helps him tofind what he wants—sometimes onlong-secluded, dusty shelves. Some-times the clues lead to nothing, butoften he is able to bring forgottenmusic out into the open air.

From infancy he has been exposedto cultural influences. His father was

CBC TIMES

once equally known as a lawyer andchoirmaster. Now retired, he retainsmore of the air of a musician than ofa lawyer, and on trips to New Yorkis sometimes taken for Toscanini, theresemblance is so striking. Leduc’smother was a prominent singer. Ofthe four sons in the family, three havebecome professional musicians; thefourth is semi-professional, emulatinghis father in combining law withmusic. Brother Jean is a well-knownpianist in the western States.

As a member of the Royal Con-servatoire Orchestra i n Brussels,Roland played under many prominentconductors and composers. Two ofthese were Ravel and Richard Strauss.He was in the orchestra at the StraussFestival in 1930 with the composerconducting and took part in a discus-sion during which Strauss said he feltDon Quixote was his best work, andTill Eulenspiegel a trifle in comparison.

A third generation is now carryingon the Leduc family tradition. Lise,15, and Yves, 13, are studying at theProvincial Conservatory and are stillmore “heretical” than their father.Their instruments are clarinet andtrumpet.

But music is not the only concernof the Leduc family. An inordinatefondness for animals has at timesturned their home in the Cote desNeiges district of Montreal into averitable menagerie. At one time itharboured 10 dogs, five cats and fourbirds. Friends note that when thefamily, complete with entourage, setout for their country place at Ste.Adele in the Laurentians, it’s not somuch the gasoline that gets themthere, as a rare sense of humour, withPapa setting the pace.—G.

Religious Broadcasts. Religiousbroadcasts on CBC networks are plan-ned in consultation with the NationalReligious Advisory Council, which hastwelve members representing all majordenominations. Because of an increasein the Lutheran communion in Can-ada, two Lutheran members wereadded to the Council in 1952.
