Authorized as Second Class Mai), Post Office Department, Ottawa! o, EDITORIAL Private Lives ’ It becomes increasingly difficult to live” privately. The busybody; ‘the manager ot others, is in the ascendant, Gov_- ernments keep growing bigger and continually reach out to organize further details ot the citizen’s affairs. Government has even discovered culture and is’ trying to take that over, to run it. In making itself more’ responsible for paying ,the | costs of education. Government threatens eventually to mod- ify regional oddities and bring learning too, into conformity with a pattern. 7 Yet the great values of life are in the individual. Stephen Spender, the English author who turned against Communism because he at last saw that this final stage in big government meant the overwhelming of the individual, says: “The ulti- mate aim of politics is not politics, but the activities which can be practised within the’ political framework of the state . A society which has no values outside politics is a machine carrying its human cargo, with no purpose in its institutions reflecting their cares, eternal aspirations, loneliness, need for love.” Check over the things that are going on in the commu- nity and the nation, Where there is an organization, however, excellent its origins, in which the organizing of people’s act= ivities has become more important than the activities them- selves . . . then mark that outfit as heading in the wrong direction. -The usefulness of the busybody who likes to manage others, is only that he may help them to live more satisfactory lives. Of course folk need advice, leadership and the sanction of enforced laws; but the purpose of public affairs must be -the well-being of private lives. From (The Printed Word) Doing Splendid Job (An editorial from the Victoria Daily Colonist,-published during the recent B.C. Weekly Newspaper Editors Convent- ion in Victoria.) ° F . _Lhe,British.Columbia., Divisiopiot-the-Canadian-Weekty ‘Newspapers Association, closing its convention in Victoria today. has brought to the community briefly a representative cross section of the hard working men ang women who are doing a fine job of pioneering for this province and for Can- ada through the essential medium of the weekly press. Often the chief: fecus o1 local settlement, the central rallying point around which nearly every activity in a com- munity will gather to improve conditions, plan new progress and get things done, the weekly newspaper is as necessary to this land as the pioncer’ s mattock It is a measure of the ster- ling character of its personnel that the weekly press of British Columbia has such a high and assured standing across Canada. Probably no other agency in the province is more closelv concerned day by day with the abiding welfare of the commu_ nity it serves, or more closely in contact with the citizens who form its clientele-and create the news it records. Whether it is a national bond drive, a church social, the construction. ofa new school, or a call for blood donors for the Red Cross, the appeal will appear first in the columns of some local newspaper. Pubished under handicaps, pushed for time and space, seldom seemingly little more than a hair’s breadth away from colapse from sheer human fatigue, the weekly newspaper does an amazingly effective job. It will be hag-ridden for its every unwitting error and may never hear about its successes, but for all that there is probably no agency in the community so earnestly wins the award of good citizenship—public trust. If, as Emerson says, the reward of a thing well done is to have done it, the weekly press of Canada has good, reason to sleep securely in its bed by night. The British’ Columbia Division of the national associa- tion, long a standard bearer and winner of countrywide recog- nition in its own field, wears its laurels modestly, but they: are real nevertheless. To the proprietors and managers, editorial, office and mechanical staffs, who combine to. produce that steady effort, this province owes a genuine debt of gratitude. The weekly newspaper 1s in touch with life where. human history is being made, Its influence, always on the progress- ie side, is ar eat, TRAIL KINSMEN SECOND.
