In British Columbia, the
has reached the point where 4 commission is making
an exhaustive inve tigation of the situation for the
guidance of provincial authorities,

This is the national and provincial picture as we
approach Education Week—1958.

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 |
