LOCATION

CONTENT

Notes:
Alden Nowlan is interviewing Richard Hatfield, during election campaign to be re-elected premier. - Asks why should the voters believe Hatfield and his government will keep their promises from this campaign (when they haven't kept some during this term)? - Discussion of money spending of Hatfield’s government; its focus on social services, keeping the tax burden down. - First priority is to develop the economy of the province. - [00:26:35] other interviewee clips talking about Hatfield - [00:27:46] tape cuts to choral singing. - [00:29:16] Notes on the first draft of Frankenstein from Walter Learning. Notes to be typed up and sent to Alden Nowlan. - [00:47:45] tape cuts to piano music, presumably the Chopin ballads that had been taped over. - [00:50:50] Can hear tapping in the background—possibly the noise of the radio/record player. - [00:53:43] Alden Nowlan yawns. - [00:54:56] tape cuts, muffled noises, and then returns to the Chopin ballad.
