Reed Said a prospective student to his adviser: “I'm not much interested in books, but I am interested in people.” “Then,” said his adviser, “you should study literature.” What is literature? It is the image and the word of man. It expresses his ideas and his aspirations. It is the record of the world he lives in. It records - and evaluates his experiences. .. Sometimes ‘it is comic: life's incongruities move men to laughter. More often it is tragic:'man in his strength and weakness is overcome by the force of life. Sometimes he finds his way out of his dilemma through repentance and for- giveness. Sometimes he doesn’t know the way out: life is like a trap, and man is the victim. Literature, Matthew Ar- nold said, is the best that has been thought-and said in the world. Time has sifted the multitude of writings and left those we call literature. They survive because they are re- cognized as true in their representation of life or be- cause they are beautiful, or both. The Bible is literature. When God chose to reveal Himself to man, with all that that revelation implies, He chose the form of literature for His revelation, That literature is the Word of God Walt Whitman has called the poet the ‘answerer.’ And in a limited sense, he is, But God as widely as they can and cites the examples of Moses, Daniel and Paul, the three highly. educated men of the Bible. Then he adds: “He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her,baits and seeming apr and yet abstain, and is the real A Man has >dire problems. Ged: has the answer, and He has recorded it + in: His: Word, ~ >->*-~ Thus we have the word of man and theWord of God. What is the meeting place of these two? From what view shall one who accepts the Word of God concerning man regard litera- ture as it reacords the word of man? John Milton in his tract “Of Education” ad vocates - for schoo Jboys the reading of Greek drama, especially he of true wayfaring Christian: J es men, including “church” men is their Iture to read and appreciate the best that has been thought and said. It was John Ruskin who said: “What do we as a nation care about books? How much do you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on horses?” “Had he been writing in 1977 he would have « it cars or boats for phocles and Euripides, but “ ie be reduced under the deter- minate sentence of David or Solomon, or the Evangels and apostolic scriptures." That sounds like good advice. It was Milton again in his famous “Areopagitica”. who pled for the freedom of the press. He urges that men read horses. This is. National Library Week in Canada.

Education Centre and National Exhibt tion Centre as major West Kootenay at- - tractions. The society brief, presented by’ NEC: administrator Duane Harder, expressed an optimism for the tourism industry in the area that Grace McCarthy, provincial tourism minister, echoed five months later. The brief offered city council the right to determine the direction the museum Projects would take by making the NEC on a silver platter months ago, should be non-existent at this time. . * Refusal of the society's request was not a decision made by the current city council. But the present council should now be providing the: leadership required to bring tourism into Castlegar. The main criteria for senior govern: ment's funding of community projects is a real indication of support from people in the area, If the city would assume responsibility for the direction the centre will take, the Canada ° Museums Corporation will probably increase its core-funding assistance grant and allow . the centre's expansion into a permanent, unique city employee directly responsible to counell The city turned down the society's request. tourist The city can no longer afford to pass up ‘this opportunity. Hats Off to the Exhibitors The Selkirk Lions Club has had many well earned, and well deserved, plaudits directed its way for the highly successful Trade Fair it organized last weekend. But congratulations must also go out to those many exhibitors who helped make the Fair the success it was. . Those booths prepared and staffed by exhibitors didn't just happen. They had to be planned, built, erected, stocked and manned ... and then dismantled. - Many, many thousands of dollars and thousands of ‘man-hours were put in by exhibitors taking part. The success of Trade Fair ‘77 is in no ‘small way due to the willingness of so many exhibitors to contribute so generously of both their financial and their human resources. They deserve the thanks of all attended. End of the Cycle A subscriber comments as follows on Castlegar's water problems: Castlegar is a city that had ‘tremendous wells and good water, It also had septic tanks. Eventually it phased out the septic tanks in favor of a modern sewage system, and now the wells have gone dry. Castlegar is obviously a community that doesn't believe in re-cyeling . . . who Ottawa's Golden Fleece Perhaps MP Michael Forrestall should follow the example set by U.S. Senator William Proxmire. Proxmire, a Democrat from Wisconsin, awards a monthly. Golden Fleece prize to the, projects he considers the'biggest waste of* federal’ government money. ‘April's Golden Fleece, for example, went to the Smithsonian's $89,000 English-Tzotzil dictionary, which cata: logs the dialect spoken by 10,000 residents.of a corn-farming community in Mexico. Forrestall, the Progressive Conservative from Halifax-East Dartmouth, recently un- covered in the Commons a similarly wasteful project. A speech made last May -by Paul Gerin-Lajoie, former. Canadian International Development Agency president, cost more than $20,000 to prepare and publish. Printing and binding the 7,540 copies of the -‘ speech, The Arab World and Canada: Prospects for Co-nperation, cost $5,164. Layout cost $4,133, paper $1,721 and typesetting $1,135 plus an additional $1,100 for an Arabic version. Research and preparation of the speech cost $5,400 and translation into Arabic cost $650, compared to nearly $801 spent to translate the speech into Gerin-Lajoie’s native French. » With $440 thrown in ‘for distribution, the seers cost the federal government $20, ar cides to “his own, series of ‘awards for sucht projects, the federal government should ‘send the official who authorized the $20,524 expendi- » ture off {o take frugality and efficiency lessons from his U.S, counterpart. .

Reprinted below are ex- cerpts from a bina column in the Vancouver Si By ALLAN FOTHERINGHAM * THE MOST: INTEREST- ing thing that’ is going on in Canadian newspapering today is what) is being. done by ~ William Johnson of the Globe and Mail out of the Quebec City bureau, What he is doing is making * him a very unpopular man in the Quebec - press -gallery— which means, naturally, that he must be doing a good job. ” What Bill Johnson is doing, in effect, is reporting on how the Quebec press is reporting on the Rene Levesque govern- ment. He is a- first-class re- porter, a veteran of the Ottawa press gallery, a quiet introspec- tive fellow who has no ego and hhs nothing to prove. He is bilingual, of course, a student of the constitution and the Globe posted him to the Quebec bureau after the historic hap- penings of Nov. 16. What he has’ been doing since then is entirely legiti- mate, since it is of some intereat to the rest of us as to the accuracy of what is going out: to the Quebec population. Johnson, with devastating and meticulous thoroughness, has detailed how Levesque and crew have conned the sympa- thetic Quebecois press with sleight-of-hand propaganda that, under severe examina- tion, proves to be very shoddy work, 's . THE. MOST .EYEBROW- raising stuff came on March 25 when Premier Levesque pre- * sented the Quebec’ National Assembly with “a balance sheet of Confederation.” The story was that Canada had drained $4.8 billion more out of Quebec than the province received in the last 15 years, After a two-hour press conference -by Levesque and three ministers, reporters rush- ed to their typewriters. The headline in ‘Le Journal de Montreal read: The Proof That Ottawa Siphons .Off Our. Mil- lions to Give to the Other | Provincesi.'La +‘Presae *head- lined: Québec Céncludes it Has * Been Bled.

In'a long and. carefully-detailed account, he said, “Future historians: and students of the mass media are likely to conclude that Friday's Press conference was a classic example of how almost an entire press corps. can ‘be manipulatead by canny govern-' + meni Reporters, it’ turned .out, -. presented their information as if it had come from a 222-page called Ac: Smoking Cause Of 7.8 Per Cent Of Doctor Bills It has been estimated that 7.8 per cent of all physicians’ : services are related to Gir » bealth-induced count of Quebec: Revenues and ‘ credibility severy-‘time ‘his’ aides ° leave mushy, figures alt for sucl as (Sohnson. € UALLEY LANDSCAPE MURSERY 2% Ring 20 Times WINLAW, B.C.
