DISROBING. JUST NUISANCE
Like . thwarted, frustrated

almost with a feeling of self-consciousness.

Yet there have been a ‘number of incidents
recently that would lead us. to believe that a few
basic rules bear reiterating. :.° .

One of these is that the press is responsible
to its readership, in other words, the community. It
is not responsible to those .whose names appear in r
news reports. Translated irfto simple terms, this
means: it is of no interest to ;the press whether a
particular réport is to the advantage or disadvantage
of the people it deals with: iIt is of interest, to the

o!
God”. (A point might’ be made
here that “thowgh the original

schools on an rural
basis as‘ suggested, children are

foisted on’ the ‘welfare depart- full

ment because they will not (a
foregone conclusion) go to the
regular schools. Nudism is treat-
ed as a criminal offense ‘(which
it isn’t) ‘rather than a nuisance
and a sympton(which it is) and
given a heavy jail sentence
(which is welcomed) rather than

ja fine and a few days (which

is also a nuisance).

‘Thus in spite of millions of
words and millions of dollars
spent and wasted, the average
person knows little of this racial
problem in his own backyard,
though he knows quite a lot
about, and: will pontificate at
length on, the Negro problem in
the southern states.

And what is even more dis-
graceful, many people, including
a considerable number right
here in the Kootenays, still com-
pare the orthodox Doukhobors
with the Sons of Freedom, with
embarrassing results.

Education is badly needed,
both for the public and the Sons
of Freedom now, or the cost ‘in
money and human’ misery is
due for a sharp rise.
