Mrs, E. Worthington, R.R. # 2, B.C. comp Ganges Thursday, October 29th HALF DOZEN TAXPAYERS ATTEND ANNUAL MEETING SCHOOL BOARD RE-ELECTS ITSELF The School District Annual Meeting of the North Saltspring District Tuesday light was attended by a mere half dozen i-utepayers, the members of the Board i t - ^elf, and three persons directly involved in education. The meeting elected two board members for a two-year term. f"'t. A.M. Sharp and Mr. Chas. Moat were re-elect- ed to serve on the Board for two years. A third nominee •f. Mr. Gil Humphreys, a former Board chairman. The meeting was made up of Board members and ,'•• r wives, two members of the school staff, the Secre- ;; y-Treasurer and six tax payers. This situation resulted 'he Board itself re-electing itself. Extreme disappointment was expressed by all Board members who apparently felt that interest in local school matters is at a long time low. This, in spite of the fact that a new high school is being planned and worked on very hard by the Board in a most exciting and enthus- iastic manner. Mr. J.M. .Campbell, chairman, stated that, in spite of the appar- ent lack of interest on the Board part of this community, the .;Board intended to pursue its 1964 copy ^project of the new school 'with enthusiasm and diligence. He expressed keendfeappint- ment in that he expected to be asked many questions a- bout the matter as we I las other genera I school admini- ct ration items. During the discussion in rhe meeting it was stated that this school district pays 91%ofall education costs of vhe district with the Depart- ment of Education paying only 9% as its so-called fair share. The reason for this is a formula which equates the total assessment to the num- ber of pupils. Apparently this district has a very high total assessment and a very low enrollment making the shareable portion of school costs paid by the Department less than 10%. In view of the fact that so many people were unable to attend, DRIFTWOOD quotes the following excerpt from the Chairman's report:- ^™ "There are two developments of note which have domina- ted the activities of your School Board in the past year. The first of these was the establishment ofa dormitory on Saltspring Island for High " School students of the other Islands. This has rapidly proved to be one of the wis- est moves made in recent ( years in the interests of the education of the students of these Islands. It has been successful and will contin- ue to be because it com- bines the maximum educat- ional opportunity with a strong sense of be longing in the community. The Board has been fortunate in secur- ing a competent and under= standing staff, who provide an atmosphere superior to that found in most institu_ tions of this type. While there are many problems and will be prob- lems to be faced and solved in this endeavour, there is no doubt that the Dormitory is already a well-established and indispensable part of the educational program in this district.

W H A T IS A COMMUNITY N E W S P A P E R ?Having just returned last week from attending our

first provincial weekly newspaper convention in Vancou-ver, we were highly impressed with the calibre of thepeople we met and, more important, with the philosophyand policies expressed which undergird this importantcommunity industry.

The sessions were particularly interesting to us asnewcomers to the game. Up to now we have had to workout our own questions of policy without reference to whatother papers do. In this respect we have always feltalitrle threatened as to their validity. We were more thansurprised and greatly re-assured to find that many of theanswers we have come to through trial and error as towhat kinds of principles and policies should govern our

publication are quite similar to those whose papers havebeen published for many years.

What we heard and learned has made us more consc-ious of our responsibility to the community we serve anda lot more aware of the role a weekly paper can play inthe life of a community. We also feel as a result thatthere is a two-way street here and we were also re-assur-ed that the community as well has a responsibi lity inmaking "their paper" as useful, meaningful and healfiyas possible.

We think it might be useful to spell a few of theseideas out in more specific terms.

In the first place we think a community paper is animportant means of communication within the area, ob-serving and reporting on the passing scene, and accur-ately chronicling the slow but sure growth of the districtOne of the more important parts of any community paperis its morgue where one has the opportunity to find areasonably accurate historical description of the longterm growth of the area.

Another important function of the paper is the needto support and encourage that which is good and worthwhile and the equal responsibility to discourage, and if

necessary, fight against that which is sick and destruc-tive. We think that publishers and editors who havegiven this idea real thought are aware this isan awesomeresponsibility. For our part we feel such an importantfunction needs to be shared and that means that the com-munity has a real role to play here too. No man is al-ways completely right or wrong, but if one maintains anopen line to the readers, one is more likely to come upwith reasonably mature solutions to any given problem.

Further to this idea comes the importance to us of theneed for balance. So many times papers can be out offocus by the weighting they give to the events theychronicle. We are so prone to go all out against, tohighlight disproportionately the negatives, while manytimes we either ignore or gloss over the positives. Forexample, we have said in this column how prone we are •today to take aim and fire at the sometimes bazarre be-haviour of the teenager, all the while ignoring the many,many strong and positive things teenagers do.

Wouldthe Queen have been embarrassed and so muchin jeopardy during her recent visit to Quebec if thepapers had not built up the possibility of violence be-forehand?

In trying to share with our readers some of the thingswe felt important at this convention, we feel we shouldsay somtothinq about what a community paper is not.

A weekly paper is not a pulpit for the use of anyoneindividual or o?oup of individuals to use in the interest

<eir own special purposes.A paper is not o purveyor of good news about some

events and bad news about others. It cannot afford to beanything else but completely fair, completely accurate,and completely sincere. Anythingelse is not good enough.'Sure, mistakes are made and they should be hastily correc-ted with proper apologies.

No one has the right to ask special treatment becauseof a myriad o£ what to them, are all very legitimatereasons. An important slogan here might be, "If you don'twant it published, don't let it happen'.

A community paper is not a charitable, non-profitenterprise. It has to live on its efforts along with anyother business operation. It lives mainly on the majorstrength of its advertisers who support it because they knowit helps them sell what they have to sell. A newspapersells its space. It cannot afford to give it away so thatoften there has to be a fine judgement made as to what isnews which gets free treatment, and what is advertising,which can appear to have many forms including "news".You don't ask the grocer to throw in four or five extraloaves of bread for free just because you have bought somemeat.

If advertisers are the life=blood of the paper, the sub-scribers are the veins and arteries through which this bloodpasses. Subscribers buy news of their community. The ex-tent to which news can continue to be brought to thereader depends on his willingness to subscribe and keephis subscription paid up to date.

We were impressed with these ideas. We think theyare the rules by which many weekly papers in this provincelive. We have tried to put them in our own words becausethey are most meaningful to us that way. We hope they•are meaningful to our readers as well.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *LETTERSDear Editor:- "For your information I enclose a copy ofa letter to the Department of Lands & Forests, regardinga recent notice in your paper of intent to apply for aprivate lease on shore-front property. The objection isnot only to the granting of Mr. Utley's application, butto the granting of any such application which would re-sult in private control of what should remain public do-main. (Signed) Norman Shaw, Fulford Harbour.

Here is the copy of Mr. Shaw's letter to the Dept. ofLands and Forests:-Attention Mr. Borthwick, Supt. of Lands -

This is in regard to a recent notice by Mr. W.R.Utley, of Beddis Point, Salt Spring Island, of his inten-tion to apply for a lease on shore-front property.

As a permanent resident of Salt Spring Island I here-by object to the leasing of the property, described inthe above mentioned notice of intent. The notice statesthat the property is required for a swimming pool, a pri-vate wharf, and for privacy. It would appear that thepresent law is designed to prevent the acquisition ofpublic domain lands for just such private uses as theabove.

I would appreciate very much if you would advise mewhat further steps I should take in this matter.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Dear Editor:- "Congratulations. You appear to be win-ning your battle to bet good reproduction of your pictures,which are, of course, very interesting to a distant sub- -scriber.

Up until about a month ago I began to wonder wheth-er S.S.I, was completely shrouded in fog all the timeand was on the point of suggesting that perhaps you wereusing too fine a screen for the type of paper.

Just then, however, the fog began to lift and thegreater portion are becoming recognisable, particularlyone on page 1 of No. 29 and another on page 3 of No.30. Again congratulations.

TRICKS AND FUN ORTREATS AND TRAGEDY'Saturday is the night that

all the little ghosts, goblinsand other various spooks willwander around making mis-chief if they are not bribedwith a treat.

So far on our Island theghostly evening has beenkept fairly safe for the youngones. If your youngster is todress up for "Tricks & Treats"tonight try some of your owntricks to keep them safe.1. Paper or flimsy costumesshould be fireproof.2. Use light colours to besure the little "goblins" canbe easily seen by motorists.Don't make them so loose orso long that they may catchon protruding objects or betripped on.3. Try cosmetics for cover-ing the face. Masks mayhamper the vision.4. Make sure that pirates,soldiers, etc. use play wea-pons - not real ones.5. A flashlight in the jack-o-lantern is much safer thana candle.6. Know where your child isgoing. Neighbourhood par-ties are fun - maybe you cango along too.7. If you are also a motoristbe sure to use extra pre-cautions this night. Remem-ber how the ghosts can loomout from a dark spot on theroad.

Last, but not least, alland any fireworks displaysshould be supervised by ad-ultsand must be held on pri-vate property.
