CASTLEGAR, NEWS, Thurs., June 27, 1968 in THIS CORNER Bv ARNOLD MARTIN Sailing One's Own Private Sea Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And.sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, Jong I stood And looked down one to where it bent in the un- dergrowth Then took the other... Oh, I kept the first for another day, Yet knowing how way Jeads on to way, 1 eubied if I should ever com . back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two ronas ina aod: and I took the “one less travelled by And that has made all the differenco! The principle in the words of Robert Frost’s haunting poem, The Road Not Taken are common knowledge — so common as to be almost trite. A person's life is a suc- cession of decisions, each one of which leads along another voad, and although a person Jooks back and resolves some- day to take the road he left for this present one, he never does — “way leads on to way. ..I doubt if I shall ever come back.” “Long I stood, and looked down one as far as I could to _fdiverged and though Eh as for for that the sing there had worn one about the same." The aatural instinct of people, knowing that a road leads on and on, is to look very carefully. But looking down the|e: road is not the equivalent of taking it. A person may gaze at one road or the other end- lessly, not knowing which of the two take. - Once started on the road, there is the tendency to either look back at the place left, or to gaze vicariously at a de- stination, if one is known. is sald that the most difficult experience of a con- firmed “landlubber"” on_ his first ocean voyage is to lose sight of the shoreline of the departed port, and for days or possibly weeks have no sight of the shoreline of the place expected as destina- tion. A person may grow tired of the race for materialism, may begin to look for other values — and find that there is something worse than the critica of the “landlub- is not the criticism which kills — it is the per- sonal self-doubt. A seaman expects cri- ticism from those who have never left sight of the land. What is troubling is to be un- able to see the shoreline be- hind, as_a reference point, and equally unable to see the | Ke destination. Disorientation would be inevitable for the man alone on a raft in the middle of an i an. The voyage across one’s orientation, but never of sep- aration from the critics. A voyage of any sort is begun with high hopes. Flags fly in the wind, the sun shin- es and the very alr is per- meated with optimism. But the lonely sea closes around, the sun may elther be hidden by clouds or con- tinue shining, but its look is suddenly one of cruel objec- tivity rather than cheerful- ness. It is faith — the word is trite and unwatltactery: but none does the job better — in arriving at a destination which inspired the journey and which must suffice to see it through.

Russell, “editor and publisher of the Cobourg (Ont.) ing a weekly news- paper in the conex of one dime. In an editorial called “All for Ten Cents”, he offered to give a dime to any local critic of his newspaper. For a dime, the critic would be expected to compose, print and produce one edition of the local news- paper and deliver it to Russell's home. Russell one “The tents of your newspaper with all the news that’s fit to print, must include more reading material than contained in the current best seller.” The editor then indicated what this reading should com- prise: the Jatest accounts of meetings of the town fathers, the Parks Board, the School Boards, Beeondary, and Drimary; ROBSON RED CROSS SWIMMING INSTRUCTION .

You must continue this gratuitors service to the federal goverment without adding 12 per cent sales tax for printing.” Russell also demanded, for his dime, two full pages of sports, playing up all the winning games during the week and leaving the defeats out of the paper. “We can call your sheet lousy,” he went on. “We paid you a dime. We can say your editorials don't get to the point and your unsigned letters are your own opinion. “If we call you at home before breakfast on Sunday morning to give you a news item about our parents visiting us for the weekend, this is our privilege. You have our ten cents. After all, that’s worth getting out of, bed, isn’t it?” “, . . We've misplaced the paper. Can you tell what's on at the show? Say, anything special in the for sale col- umns?
