CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 17, 1979

Thanks, you
thousands of
wonderful
people...

Thanks for catching Mirror fever.

Thanks for making the Castlegar News/Mid-Week
Mirror combination the No. 1 print medium in the West
Kootenay/Boundary region.

Six months ago, on April 8, the Mirror expanded into the
major population centres of Trail, Nelson, Kaslo and Rossland.

We haven't looked back since.

Many of our readers and advertisers have taken the time
to tell us how we can improve our publications. And we've
listened:

e In our "Open Up — Rate the Mirror” questionnaire,
you told us very clearly which of the features you didn’t like
(we've dropped them) and those you did (we've kepe them);

e There will be more features;

e There will be more photographs; .

e You've told us you like TV Week as a “pull-out” but not.
as a “tear-out.” (Our production people are working on this
problem, and hope to make TV Week more easily removable
when — for printing purposes — it must be part of an
eight-page section);

@ You've said you don't like the use of so many reverses
(white printing on a black background) and we've listened.
{See our Action Ads classified headings this week, and the
headings in the Business Directory — they're now gray);

e You've said you'd like news departamentalized, and
this we will be attempting to do;

e There will begin the development of a local “hard
news” format in The Mirror;

o There will be more material of interest to men,
especially sports; .

e You've said you prefer home delivery, so we're in the
process of establishing a carrier system in Rossland and will
do the same in a number of other communities;

e We will constantly strive to provide bright, action-
packed, community-oriented journalism.

The “weekly miracle” that is the News/Mirror is the
result of teamwork that is sequential, rather than
simultaneous. Each station on the newspaper assembly line
takes raw materials or the product of its predecessor,
processes it efficiently and hands it on to the succeeding
station.

This pi pi the spirit that
allows us to be the No. 1 print medium welcomed into more
than 20,000 homes and business places every week.

We sincerely appreciate the support of our advertisers
and the feedback from readers, and will attempt to continue to
do the best possible job for both.

We will keep working to make the slogan — “The |

Castlegar News and Mid-Week Mirror: Good Papers
Constantly Getting Better” — a continuing reality.
Thank you for welcoming us so warmly into your homes.

Cordially,

‘OCT. 9 RESULTS: More than 95 per cont of votes cast
favored saying the Lord’s Prayer in public schools, while less
than five per cent of the ballots were opposed.

Written comments accompanying the ballots were lively
and plentiful:

“When we do away with acknowledging God in our daily

‘life, such as repeating the Lord's Prayer in the classroom, we

are in fact rejecting Him,” wrote a Fruitvale reader. “There is

-no neutral position on this issue. We are either for Him and

His Word, the Bibie, or against Him.”
A Nelson reader cited a “concentrated effort to eliminate

all Christian efforts.” “Yet astrology, witchcraft, the occult ~

and all sorts of branches relating to this superstitious theme
are now being taught in schools and universities,” the reader
continued. “It is the evil cult of the minority infiltrating our
society which is causing so much damage to people, politics

better living. People’s morals have a better chance of being
good, young minds will be filled with decency and the dope
will lose its power to grab hold of more young lives,”

“If a person does not want Bible reading or the Lord's
Prayer, he or she may be excused from it, but this rarely
happens,” wrote another reador. “A person may watch TV but
if he doesn’t want to he has the choice of shutting it off.”

A Rossland reader said the practice satisfied an
important need for “poor children whose clothes are not good
and who may not be accepted in a Sunday school," “It may be
the only instruction in religion they receive,”: she wrote.

“I am nine years old and all that time I have been born a
Christian,” wrote another reader. "I think it is very wrong to
take the Lord's Prayer out of the school system. Because the
Lord died for us we want to give to Him as much as He did for
us.” Ey
“We see what has happened to our world since prayer
was taken from the classrooms and public meetings," wrote a
Trail reader. “If we cannot take time to ask God's blessing on
our families, our country and the world, how do We expect to
cure the lack of respect, dishonesty, hate, greed and'murder

less and less Christian values being taught.”

, "I was most pleased to know my child's teacher recited
the Lord's Prayer every morning,” she added.

“I don't think our pupils of the past have suffered by
having the Lord's Prayer said daily at school,” another reader
wrote. “If we give in toa minority on this issue, we may soon
be obligated to give up the study of biology or any reference
to the human anatomy." i

“If this is a Christian nation, then Christ should be
honored," one reader wrote. “Children should be taught in the
home and at school,”

“I not only think the Lord's Prayer should be said in the
classroom, but we should have Bible reading everyday in the
classrooms,” wrote yet another. ; a

But a Grand Forks reader said teachers and students
“rattle off the Lord's Prayer the same way they would the
alphabet." “Therefore it has no significance or meaning to
either,” he continued. “Why waste millions of student hours
every year in B.C. for no purpose?” 4

“The fencing will elim-
