YOUR PAPER’S INTERESTED IN YOU
FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END

Have you ever stopped to consider
that in all the world there is only one
newspaper that is really concerned with
YOU? That is your homet pap

early part of your life—high school grad.
uation and your paper, the Castlegar
News, tells all about YOU. The article is

the Castlegar News.

Big city dailies are interested in YOU
only when you commit.a crime, break
your neck, sponsor something unusual or
do something else equally spectacular or
foolish.

But the Castlegar News is interested
in YOU all through your life. Over the
years it tells your story.

The story begins, as good stories
should, at the beginning. YOU are born
and the Castlegar News in its birth no-
tices announces to the community that
your father and mother have been pleas-
ed with YOU. :

Then Dad and Mom go away on a
trip and take YOU with them. Your name
appears in the social column. The years
pass and YOU go to school. You will find
your name periodically in the local Cas-
tlegar News, sometimes at the top of your
class, sometimes at the bottom, but always
there when the school results are publish-
ed.

As YOU grow older YOU join the
hockey team the Castlegar News tells the
community about YOU. YOU golf, curl,
go to the summer camp, take part in a
music festival, act in a play, are elected
to club office—Your name is in the Cas-
tlegar News.

Then comes the great moment of the

lipped by YOU for your grandchildren
to see. Then perhaps you go to college
‘and come home for the holidays; your
name appears often. YOU graduate from
college and the Castlegar News is just
as proud of you as your parents are.
YOU come home and go to work in
Dad’s business or start one of your own,

the Castlegar News reports it. YOU meet
the one and only girl and your engage-
ment is announced in this paper. YOU are
married and there is a detailed account
of your wedding.

The years roll on and the Castlegar
News chronicles your social life, your
community achievements, the birth of
your children, the honors that come to
YOU. Finally, at the end of your long and
happy life, YOU appear in the obituary
column,

Thus YOU and your hometown paper
are closely connected. Without YOU there
would be no Castlegar News. Without the
Castlegar News there would be no pub-
lished story of YOU.

All through your life the Castlegar
News records your highlights—the happy
occasions and your. sorrowful ones, your
achievements and your disappointments.
Thus the Castlegar News exists for YOU.
The Castlegar News is YOUR paper.

CANADIAN MAGAZINES NEEDED
FOR FIRST-CLASS CANADIANISM

The Toronto Telegram has seen fit to
suggest that it was strange that the Can-
adian Weekly Newspapers Association, in
convention at Halifax in August, passed
a resolution calling on the Diefenbaker
government to adopt the recommenda-
tions in the O'Leary royal commission.
The O'Leary commission was set up to
find out why foreign magazines with
phony “Canadian” editions were getting
such a large share of the Canadian adver-
tising dollar, and to suggest ways of bring-
ing at least some of the money back home.

The total advertising in “Canadian”
editions: of foreign magazines was eight

Newspapers Used
To Wrap and Rap

A proposed rule defining the word
“newspaper” has been published in the
Federal Register, but we like this one
better. It was written by a six-year-old
girl named Diana to a west coast news-
paper and published in the paper’s let-
terbox. It went like this:

“Newspapers. We need them so we
can know who reks and who drownds
and who shoots somebody. And who
wants a house or who dies or gets a baby.
It tells if your dog is lost. They are good
on shelves and to make bond fires. They
also do god under a baby’s plate and to
geep dogs offa things. You can wrap po-
tato peeling in ‘em. You can put one
when ‘you defrost. They tell about shows
+ and how much things are.”

To which the editor of the paper
added:

“P.S. Diana, they also are good to
swat things with, like flies and public
officials and things.” —Raymond (Wash.)
Advertiser.

In the last several years the Canadian *#e morning social hour,

weeklies, (of which the Bolton Enterprise
is one) lost more than half of their nation-
al, or out-of-town, advertising. Some of it
was lost: to television, but much of it went
to Time and Reader's Digest.

How could that be? The prettified ad
in the big magazines would never be seen
in The Enterprise. But the weeklies get
national advertising in competition with
daily newspapers, TV, radio and other
media. If Mr. Luce’s Time and Mr. and
Mrs. Wallace’s Digest take all or nearly
all of the available advertising money
there is apt to be little left over for gen-
uine Canadian publications. The two in-
truders -have slick (and expensive) sales
gimmicks that can’t be matched by the
country weeklies. .

Freedom of speech, said Mr. O‘Leary,
did not include a right to start a panic
by yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre. So
ruled and such were the words of: the
late great jurist Mr. Justice Holmes of
the U.S. supreme court.

The restoration of equity among the
imported papers would give the Canadian
publications, including this one, a better
chance of making progress. Everyone in
the publishing business in Canada knows
that it’s a tough struggle to survive with-
out having plutocratic foreigners compet-
ing unfairly. This unfair competition en-
ables the foreigners more easily to -make
our thinking second-class American in-
stead of first-class Canadian. — Bolton
