On the local level, a group of citizens has set up a diversified program to further stimulate the public interest. By radio, newspaper, public platform and visual dislays, education is being held up for publie insection in a manner that has never previously been attempted. On other pages of this issue will be found the complete program, ranging from Dr. Gordon Shrum’s challenging address “ Sputnik Supremacy,” to dis- plays of school work in town stores. The people of Williams Lake and district are urged to attend as many of the public functions as they can, either in-town or in their own centres, to listen to the radio programs featu ing Education Week themes, ad to visit schools holding open house. Education is everybody’s business. A Worthwhile Suggestion N view of the frustrating delays encountered by the local committee in attempting to organize a canvass regarding formation of a hospital improvement dis- trict, efforts of William Speare, M.L.A., in trying to remove the source of the bottleneck will be heartily endorsed. Mr. Speare states he is making every effort to have the pertinent act amended to place the direct responsibility of establishment of hospital improve- ment districts under the Department of Health and Welfare. Probably in the case of other districts in the Province; the fact that two government departments are involved has not worked any hardship, but this has not proved the case in the central and south Sn Cariboo. Here the departmental level has hopelessly : confused an issue already made touchy by the con- | filcting interests of three communities. If Mr. Speare is successful in his effort: resulting centralization of authority will materially assist future committees in other parts of the province, | although it will be too late to compensate for the lost | | group of people, and Jaymen, has wareness of the importance an “‘education everybody’s fallen far short of spec- Sputnik age” though, the field of education of a three-ring circus, performers willing and ght to give their individual ademic soul searching the time experienced locally.
