TELESCOPE '67 looks at two successful immigrants: Scottish-born broadcaster Jack Webster at work on his open-line radio show in Vancouver; and Arkansas' contribution to the world of Canadian music, rock -'n roller Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins performing in Toronto bars and nightclubs. Webster discusses his early days in Glasgow, his decision to emigrate to Canada, his work as a reporter for the Vancouver Sun, and his career in radio and television. Webster is recorded as he talks to listeners on his popular West Coast open-line radio show. Hawkins tells of his youth in Arkansas, his early struggles for success and recognition, and his decision to come to Canada in 1957 on the advice of a friend. The friend told him that opportunities were better for his kind of music in Canada than in the United States. Hawkins says he loves Canada and considers it home. This is followed by a preview of next week's program. <30mn>.
