TOMORROW NIGHT WILL DECIDE Castlegar and District's ‘show window’ the An- nual Fall Fair may fold up, if there isn’t a good turn- out at tomorrow night's meeting of the Fall Fair Board. Letters have been sent to every organization ‘in the district, drawing this. fact to their attention and requesting a representative be sent to the meeting to be held tomorrow night in the Legion Memorial Hall. It is hoped that there will be a good turnout at this meeting to back the Fall Fair Board up in their work. tt may seem early to be talking about a Fall Fair, but untold hours of work go into the organization, ar- ranging for prizes and a thousand and one other things that go to make the fair successful. All ‘the help is not just needed at the time of the fair in Sept. There’s an old saying that many hands make work light arid that is what is being asked for by the direc- tors. We are sure that a little moral support will go a long way too, in making the job more pleasant for -all concerened. . . The Fair, through the hard work of a few people in, the district, has grown each year and now is to the point where it will take many to make the load easier to carry. Make it a date now to attend the Fall Fair - Meeting tomorrow night and lend a helping hand. ’ {T COULD BE A BANNER YEAR The most important resolution passed at the As- sociated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce ‘meeting held here fast weekend was the one presented” by our own Castlegar and District Chamber of Com- ‘merce, urging the government to complete the Blue- berry-Paulson section of No- 3 Highway, by tourist time snext year. " 1958 is British Columbia’s Centennial Year and the year we expect many visitors to our province. We also expect many British Columbians to take a look ot their own province as well, and it is hoped that they can do it without going down into Uncle Sam/‘s do- main. g No doubt there will be a good many friends from across the border, enter our province in this Centen- nial year, and it will be a disappointment to them if they have to cross the line again to complete a tour of this great land. Let's have the flag waving for them all the way, but don’t make it the Stars and Stripes, they can see that at home. . This road connection will be a credit to any government, when it joins up our province socially, for years to come. Lord, 1d by John, as He spoke to the multitudes at Caper- noum., This was the day after Jesus had the 3 Kwa N The Castlegar Ministerial : Association Message just the outward “doing or re- fraining from" certain things. The Psalmist David discovered the secret and penned these words of Psalm 51; Verses 18-17, “For thou desired not sacrifices, else would I give it: thou de- lightest not in burnt offerings. of the feeding of the five thous- and, The miracles of Jesus, ad- ded to His teachings, were ‘not just to show forth His Power, but they were in the plan and will of His Father. He had come to reveal that it was not the will of God that any should perish, ‘but that: all should have Eternal Life. Thus the Life of Jesus was a living sign painting to life everlasting. His was a life of com- plete dedication. ‘We find ourselves in the Len- ten Season, and we are preparing ourselves for Easter, Sometimes I think we have missed the truth of it all, for had Jesus not been willing to do His Father's will, and dedicated His whole life, we would not have had the Easter Season, This should be a time in which we rededicate our lives afresh to the Lord, “te do His will”. This must go deeper than The ifi of God are a broken and contrite spirit a brok- en and a contrite heart, a God thou will nof despise. Versus 10-13 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy spirit from me. 5 Restore unto me the joy of thy ‘salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit. THEN will I teach transgres- sors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” If we do as the word ex- horts us, we will be able.to show and tell the ‘wonderous truth of the Easter message that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and is alive forevermore, and be- cause Heé lives, we shall live also, Thus we will be fulfiling His will for our lives. Pennoyer By E.G.0. The educational gods have spoken and now there will be a great race to jump on the latest ba: Mr. F new minister of education, has publically approved the Calgary policy of “bouncing” the high school “loafer” and hinted adop- tion of the policy in B. C. schools. Dean Scarfe, dean of education at the university, has echoed his words and added a few facile generalizations of his own. Soon the near greats will, like a le gion of Newtons in an apple or- chard, be announcing their own particular philosophy of the “bad apple’ and his downfall. Not that I don’t agree in principle with these learned gentlemen. I couldn’t be in greater accord. What does amaze me is the length of time it has taken for t. ably: won't get it but we'll get a tremendous increase in quality and eventually in quantity.

B.C. communities are being taught cooperation. : They are being taught in the most effective manner —tby doing; and their progress is stimulated by the best possible feelings, that of pride in achievement. Promoters of the Centennial have coined the slo- gan thet B.C. will be turned into one huge stage and auditorium in 1958. But now, in 1957, it is a huge schoolhouse. . From Cassiar to Castlegar, from,Alberni to Fernie mayors, aldermen, commissioners, club chairmen, committee delegates are sitting down to learn, many of them for the first time, how to get along with their counterparts from other communities — not in the planning of a convention, or the drafting of a resolu- tidn, which is easy and often somewhat irresponsible work — but in the execution of permanent, physical projects consuming large sums of very real money. For the Centennial, unlike many other affairs, is one that as often as not demands joint efforts from a cluster of towns, villages and suburbs. Benefits de- rived are usually in direct proportion to the co-opera- . *tion achieved. - The course, like any course in school, has the very important element of being limited in time — that is, examinations must be rendered at a certain date; and like a school it is compulsory for all. Neither of these two features can usually be found in other communial or political undertakings, and it ig certainly -permissable to hope that the lessons learned in 1957 will be found useful in many public affairs. — West Coast Advocate dredged the matter out from the depths of pedagogial gabbly gooh. For years now the teachers have complained about the “loaf- er’ who did nothing, the “bad, apple’ who spoiled the rest of the class, the “bad egg” who spoil- ed the learning atmosphere for so many others in the class and provided only a headache for the teacher and a lowered standard} for the class. But that has been the trouble — the teachers have only complained, usually in his own staff room, and done noth ing at PTA meetings, teacher con- ventions and such, This parasite is cloaked under the disguise of the “problem child,” the “slow learner,” the “late developer.” He is a result not only: of bad teach- ihg as Dean Scarfe so generous: ly puts it but of bad morality; of bad democracy. He is the re- sult of a social philosophy which demands the “mostest from the leastest,’ quantity instead of quality of a political philosophy which on the political platform shouts loudly of equal rights and privilege and whispers in the closet of . equal responsibilities and duties. ; It is an educational philosophy which demands that every stu- dent be judged on the basis of devil finds work for idie hands to do,” and in my opinion, among some of our classes, the “old boy” ig the only one who is busy.

The room is admirably designed and equipped as a classroom, thus theory and practice go together here. ; : The general science courses have introduced the student to Chemistry and Biology in a rath- er general way; but now in Grad- es XI and XII the Science field has been narrowed down to the living organisms (Biology).
