TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

Teachers of English tend to agree with producer Bob Aaron
that "What's the Good Word", produced by BCTV for the CIV Net-
work, is equal in entertainment and educational value. In any
case, it's proven popular on both counts. Since the start of
the series in 1971, it has not only enjoyed high ratings but
has also garnered a good deal of praise for the part it has
played in vocabulary development and the teaching of word
relationships.

Starting at 3.30 pem. Monday, February 18, "What's the
Good Word" will hold its first Tournament of Champions, which
will run each weekday until March 20. The tourney will match
contestants who have previously been multiple-—game winners,

a total of 45 teams. Many have won five games, none has had
less than three wins. This means high-calibre competition
that will make the show more entertaining, and more education-
al than ever.

UNDER-ICE LABORATORY

A new frontier of underwater exploration will be featured
on the Jacques Cousteau special at 7 pm. Friday, February 22,
on BCTV. "Beneath the Frozen World" will take viewers under
the Antarctic ice to discover how such warm-blooded creatures
as whales and seals (including the amazing Waddell seal, which
can dive for an hour to a depth of 1800 feet) manage to thrive
despite the constant threat of ice entrapment.
