Food for thought...

THE VAINSTEIN REPORT, compiled and
released by Miss Rose Vainstein for the
Public Library Commission, ‘contains some
very interesting recommendations regard-

ing the requirements and

. public libraries throughout the province.

The 150-page report has naw been
published under the title ‘Public Libraries
In. B.C.—A Survey With Recommendations”
and its context is direct and straight across

the board.
Miss Vainstein, former

library science at UBC, has suggested the

province be divided into 13

with a central library headquarters, so as
ta better share books, professional heip
and experience, Her report urges more
library assistance from all levels af govern-
ment and says that each community
should be’ assured access to a minimum of

three books per capita,

Her report gives information as to
desired hours of service in public libraries,
and also offers suggestions as to how pub-:
lic interest and support can be encouraged.

recommendations carried in Miss Vain-
stein’s report, it is perhaps her obvious
awareness of the far-reaching results of

service that creates a lasting

impression on the reader.
She states in the report, ‘‘Access to,

use of a quality public library

self-discovery and the development of the

Terrace Soccer Team
Takes First Loss

Two soccer upsets were witness-
ed Sunday night by a large crowd
of spectators at soccer league semi-
final play-offs in Kitimat. Colum:
bia Cellulose was downed 1-0 in
favor of Kitimat Spartas, and in
the second game Lusco-Canadians
defeated the Black Eagles.

Columbia Cellulose scored at the
ten minute mark of the first per-
iod but the goal was turned down
by the referee, At the 20-minute
mark Columbia Cell was unable to
make use of a penalty shot. From
then on the game turned into a
war. At the 30-minute mark, Col-
umbia Cellulose sustained the first
serious injury of the season, when
defence player Rev. Brother
Kearns suffered chest and possi-
ble rib injuries. There was no
further scoring in the first period.

In the second period Columbia
Cellulose played one man_ short
and their spirit seemed to be gone.

From this point on the game
was rough and with 15 minutes left
to play Sparta scored the winning
Zoal. :

In the second game played at
Kitimat the Lusco-Canadians de:
feated the Black Eagles with a
score of 1-0.

letters to

Editor
Texrace “Omineca” Herald

Your editorial of last week, ‘at-
tacking the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation, cannot be allowed to
pass without protest.

The CBC is one of the proudest
achievements of Canada. If you
watched, for instance, “The 700
Milllan” last Sunday, you saw a
documentary which no other coun-
try could have produced and which
we could not have produced ex-
cept through the agency of the
CBC. I don't know how many cents
of my 1965 tax payments went to
subsidize the OBC, but: I would
cheerfully have paid twice the
amount just for the privilege of
being able to say of that one show,
“Look what we produced.” And if
you think it over, Madam editor,
I think you will feel the same
way; you too are Canadian.

The week before there was the
documentary on the human brain,
a few weeks earlier we had Nure-
yev, all winter we had “Y Days”,
the- complete list of excellent
shows produced and distributed
by QBC-TV would half fill your
Paper. And then there is the eyen
more impressive record of CBC
radio. This is real achievement; it
is Canadian achievement; it is a
matter for real pride.

It must next be said that our
pride in the CBC should not stifle
our-criticism of the corporation.
Quite to the contrary. The corpor.
atlon can thrive only as it receives
and ‘reacts to our criticism, The
trouble with your attack of last
week is that a “full throated Eng.
lish roar” is not criticism in any
useful sense of the word. The CBC
is Canadian, Canada ts one third
French. Canadians if English must
bear with the French, and vice
versa, Nothing useful is achieved
by complaining (or by roaring!)
about ths unless we want to break
up Confederation; it is certainly
no fault of the CBC,

It is just here that we find the
real point of protesting against
your attack of last week, Instead
of firing a noisy editorial broad-
side at the CBC, and hitting Con-
federation by mistake; you could
have been starting to provide your
readers, and the CBC, and through
them Confederation itself, with a
critical service of great value,
Such a service requires detailed
and careful criticisms of specific
CBC productions. If you could do
this with some regularity. you
would not always be right: but
you would always be helpful be-
cause you would be encouraging
careful thought and informal dis-
cussion about worthwhile product-
lons, — which aren't always right
either. When you have achieved
this you will have a Platform
wide enough to include careful

the editor.
