Fali Fair Ass'n Enforces

L.- e e
lis Admission
“If we make ends meet, we're doing
well.”

Those words were spoken, last week
by a member of the Castlegar and District
Fall Fair board and sum up the financial
standing of the Fall Fair Association, In
this issue of the Castlegar News there ap-
pears a letter to the editor from-the Fall
Fair executive which thanks District re-
sidents for their support of the 14th An-
nual Fall Fair and which attempts to clear
up “some misunderstandings” regarding
the admission policy to the Fair.

By Big Economy
Campers make no bones about the
main attraction — economy, says the Vic-
toria Daily Times. For an outlay of less
than $300 a family of five can be set up
with gear that will last them for years of
vacationing and weekend outings. There’s
not much of the Mark Twainish “roughing
it” involved with modern. outfits. There are
sleeping bags, folding cots, air mattresses,
gas stoves, lamps, portable coolers, light-
weight cooking utensils and other aids to
bring home comforts into the great out-

doors.

' Newspaper Week Hails :
' Weekly — Community Link

So many national “Weeks” have been
set aside to honor this, that, and indeed,
about evéry mentionable commodity known
to mankind,.that public protest is heard,
and public disgust is being felt. There is
a wave of ridicule across the. nation.

Had -the practice been restricted to
worthwhile events, nation-wide historic
happenings, or enterprises of wide. public
interest, some reasonable. excuse might:
have been found for its continuance. But
when the craze extends to “Salad Week,”
and a score of similar subjects, excitse is
found for public protest.

By no mean an innovation in this
field of publicity, however, is that known
as Newspaper Week. It has been recorded
for long years, and is perhaps as. excusable
as are many against which, one hears no

, public criticism. This is because the week-
ly newspaper. in particular, has become
recognized as a semi public and commun-

' ity institution, extending throughout - its

own restricted community each week,
carrying the happenings within .its area
which find refreshing interest in the
hearts of its eager readers. :
One writer has expressed the basis

Policy

Apparently: all persons who attend
the Fair’ must pay an admission price,
regardless of whether or not they are
connected in any way with the Fair. Those
persons who have put in hundreds of
hours working for the Fair must pay an
admission price and so do those who have
worked for only a few hours, or those who
have. not worked at all.

Persons who worked on the Fair
months ahead of time, those, who help set

‘ up exhibits, those who help the judges the

day before the Fair opens, and those who
work as floor walkers while the Fair is’ in
Progress must all pay admission prices to
the Fair, just as the peron, pays who helps
in no way, at all with this District project.

This doesn’t appear to be cricket, and
indeed it probably isn’t but as long, as
those persons who put in’ hundreds of
hours all year long on the Fair are willing
to pay admission prices, then the rest of
us should be prepared to do likewise.

Of $1,354.50 in receipts, this year,
$326—or just over 24 per cent—resulted
from door receipts, If the Fall Fair As-
sociation were ever to abolish admission
fees for everyone who worked in any’ way
for the Fair, the Fall’ Fair might well
cease to exist,

The Fall Fair Board is probably wise,
until an. effective alternative is presented
them, in its determination to keep its rates
the same for everyone.

wherein variety is added to opinions, .ex-
pressed -editorially, or through the use of
news columns. He recognizes that his
weekly discussions on public issues whe-
ther -of local’ or broadened interest, ‘are
individualistic in character, and subject to
the fair criticism of his readers. When
convinced that he is in error, he freely
ackmowledges it, and. pays due respect to
the source of his enlightment.

He. recognizes too, that ‘restrictions
are placed upon the staff of the average
weekly paper, in its limited personnel, and

lec public int in_the. broaden-
ing of news carriage through co-operation
of interest and effort. He welcomes the
use of the telephone asa means of extend-
ing news coverage. A simplé hint often
results in the appearance of an item which
might be easily missed through limited
reporteral coverage from his staff. ”

He looks upon his paper as a means
of ‘livelihood, but does not .emphasize its,
importance -as a source of -adequate re-
venue for his every-day “needs, unless

iated with a printing
plant. He preaches the important doctrine

PEACE AND QUIET:

cai Tepe
On Desk Thumping
Is desk thumping an undesirable display of emo-
‘tion in Canada’s legislative chambers?

After observing members of the Ontario govern-
ment at work, a Wellinton County Council committee
feels that this time honored abuse of the furniture has
no place‘in the conduct of the people’s business,

The committee,’ currently drawing up new pro-
cedural ‘rules for. council, suggests that. desks should
be-padded ‘with rubber to prevent their continued use
as emotional} outlets. A small, radical fraction would
have the desks removed entirely... x i

On this issue, we cross the floor to stand with the
“noisies.”

Desk thumping, as practiced in the best parlia- _
mentary circles ‘today, can express all emotions:
approval, disapproval, ridicule, anger, elation and
patriotism. Remove the desks and the way is ‘cleared
for disorderly boos, catcalls and (conceivably) rounds
of cheers. i

In the heat of debate, an emotional representative -
with no desk to thump might become so afflicted with
frustrations that his administrative abilities would
suffer. Overenthusiatic speakers, once sil od with
a volley. of sharp. raps, could carry council meetings
even farther into the early morning hours.

After considering the alternatives, we call for
study desks.:as standard ip in all ly
‘hambers.' Rubber padding, if permitted. at all, should
be ‘an optiofial extra. — Civic Administration. \

that mutual ‘interests are wrapped up in

of public interest in the weekly pap
in these’ terms;

- “The average reader is‘ lost without
his local paper. He can learn about events
in- Loas, Vietnam, London or Moscow
from any newspaper in any town he visits,
but when it comes to keeping tabs on the
girl next door, or the kid around the corn-
er, there’s no substitute for the local
paper.” §

The average weekly publisher likes
to look upon his newspaper as a link bet-
ween: himself and the public of his cover-
age area. He likes his paper to be recog-
nized’ as a medium of close intimacy bet-
ween himself and his readers. He likes
to have it regarded as a means through
which co-operative public interest may be

dered, and ity life stimul;

- ed. e

He likes to have it felt that his paper
is essentially a medium of thought,'—-a
vehicle of public and Private reasoning,

our Inity life, and that the exchange
of local trade ‘between himself and loca
businessmen, is a natural means of mutua
service. :

Yes, ‘the local paper extends beyond
individual. service in the community it
serves, It is clothed with the garment of
Service to its community, and invites both
respect and support of’ those who know
it as a friendly neighbour.

Price - Fixing

It would seem preferable, suggests.the
Ottawa Citizen, to continue the ban against
price-fixing, that is dictation by the manu:
facturer of the prices at which his products
should be sold at retail, and. allow the play
of competition. Inthe long run, the con-
sumer is likely to be the’ gainer, and the
consumer's interests ought to be para-
mount. :
