THE NUISANCE BYLAW PENDING

The nuisance bylaw now being drafted for the village of Cas-
tlegar may cause some inconvenience to persons in the village who
are deriving revenue from the raising of pigs, poultry, rabbits and

: other animals the bylaw will curtail. However the purpose of. the

bylaw will not be to discriminate against anyone but rather to make
the town a better place in which to live for everyone. As village
commissioners have observed, the welfare of the majority necessi-
tates the curtai it of. animal y in the village.

A town being a closely ‘populated community, is far from an
ideal location for pig-sties, rabbit hutches, barns or chicken coops,
anyway: Such things have their place which is what farms are for.

T ing No Soft Touch

The growing problem of teach-
er shortage is giving concern to
many ‘thoughtful citizens and
since the teacher is the most
important ‘single factor in the
educational system, it is a matter
of real concern.

The question is why the short-
age? Why are not more people
entering the teaching ranks?

The teacher's difficulties spring,
I think, from the emotional in-

this of course, is a direct result
of the negative cultural influe-
