CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 27, 1965 : CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here let the press tho pcople’s rights unawed by by gala” Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven The Word According to Canadian Press The Canadian Press igs not only a news gathering agency but an arbiter of English (or at least Canadian) usage more influential perhaps that H. W. Fowler or one’s high school English teacher. CP (caps, no‘periods) has put out a “Caps and Spelling” book listing the most troublesome “words, proper names and abbreviations.” The men of CP who acted as a kind of English Academy clearly had their hands full, But they render their verdict with a cool assurance, as if there could be no doubt at all that ‘“‘co-educa- tion’ requires the hyphen while “co- existence” goes plain. pes “Bible” takes a capital: “Biblical” does not. All personal pronouns referring to the deity are capitalized except “who,” Not Yet Perfect A recent purchaser of equipment was. told in a letter that the guarantee period had ‘ended. He got the news on the day ‘before the last attachment was installed by the supplier. y The ingenuity of man has caused great strides to be made in invention and manufacture but human nature still al- ows a little bit of error to creep in. Per- haps this is a saving grace. — The Print- ed Word “whom,” and “whose.” A member of a provincial legislature is an MLA in every province except Ontario where he is an MPP. It’s the Middle, not Near, East. We don’t have’ much trouble in this part of the world with “Smiths Falls” (no apostrophe) but what a relief to have it from CP that it’s “Gods Lake, Man,” and ‘that “Iecillewaet, B.C.” is the authorized version. There will also be general rejoic- ing to know that the Baathist party of Traq rates a‘ capital letter. nes CP strikes a- powerful blow for ‘“‘dis- sociate” .(not disassociate”) and ‘“‘preven- tive (not “Preventative”). Its. “disfran- chise’ and “dispatch,” not “disenfran- chise” and not “despatch.” CP’s general philosophy of spelling and capitalization is to follow: simple ra- ther than fancy style. It avoids the dip- thongs “ae” and ‘oe’ wherever it can: thus, “pediatrician,” “Medieval” and “ecu- menical.” Apart from proper names, CP prefers lower. case wherever. an option exists — “Royal Canadian Navy” but plain “navy” when the full name is not given, i f As long as a language is alive, there will be some points of divided usage. Everyone has his own ideas of what con- stitutes correctness. Yet the ideal is to get the widest possible agreement on spel- ling and style and CP offers a pretty good starting point. — Ottawa Journal There are Some Cheaters Who are Caught While Prime Minister Pearson and other Canadians are concerned about maintaining high standards of int ity letter writers to one paper, but there is over the problem of the student who catches another student cheating and and conduct in government, people in the United States are concerned with another phase of a similar problem. Perhaps it is a more serious problem because most of the people involved south of the border are of college age. ; The U.S. Air Force Academy has a éode whereby students cannot in honor is in honor bound to tell on him: One wri. ter from Illinois suggests that ‘“17-year- olds and editorial writers” reveal the in- congruities of applied morality in an im- moral society. : - Canadians are not so smug that they would|be sure that thére is no cheating in examinations in colleges; or even before the dents reach coll There must be cheat at examinations. The honor syst: was established quite a long time ago, and the origin may have been at West Point. But it is faltering in the Air Force. A num- ber of cadets have been dismissed from and consequently disgraced the Academy. All over the country people are gravely concerned and are writing letters to ed- itors.

There are bound to be scandals; and the effort must ever remain to keep the opportunity for cheat- ing at a: minimum.
