Television public affairs program hosted by Frank Willis. Commenting on the launching of Sputnik, Russia's first artificial satellite, are a series of well-known scientists, journalistts and defence experts from around the world: Willie Ley, space scientist; George Pearkes, Minister of Defence; Malcolm Muggeridge, British journalist; F.F. Worthington, retired Civil Defence Chief; and George Ronald, CBC Washington.~The joys of rural living are presented in an interview with Kenneth Wells and his wife, who live on a small farm in the Georgian Bay area. The daily routine of milking the family goat; tending the bees which supply a thriving honey plant; and pursuing their interests in sculpting and writing are described in film and commentary.~Dr. Walter Avis demonstrates his skill in recognizing regional Canadian accents. Willis compares his moderated Nova Scotian accent with clips of three other subjects from Eastern Canada, all reading from the same piece.~Percy Saltzman presents a special report on Sputnik. Providing insights into various implications of the launching are: Dr. Peter Millman of Toronto, who relates the launching to astronomical research and later explains the orbit path followed by Sputnik with the help of a globe; Dr. Willie Ley, speaking from New York's NBC studios, projects future space probes including manned missions to the moon; and at the Defence Research Board in Ottawa, Blair Fraser comments on the early contact made with Sputnik from the Radio-Physics Laboratory at Shirley's Bay. J.C.W. Scott, Chief Superintendant of Telecommunications; Dr. Peter Forsythe, researcher at the Laboratory who assisted in the contact with the orbiting satellite; and Dr. Hartley Zimmerman of National Defence and Chairman of the Defence Research Board, comment.
