By ERNIE CRiST,
Circulation Manager

Once again our Circulation
rive has come to an end and we
Ould like to take this oppor-
Unity to extend our sincere thanks
© those many dedicated people
ll over B,C, who worked so hard
uring the Drive. We know that
any of you again gave unstinting=-
; Y of your time, your gasoline and
your shoe leather to get out and
Sather up the many hundreds of
Ubs that were collected.

As you can See in the column
9 the right, our Drive wound up
“Short of being a success. Again
Some Press Clubs did an out-
tanding job. But the great
{forts of some clubs and. the
ard work of some individuals
Ould not compensate for the
_ P0orer showing by the majority
Of the Clubs and by their failure
tO meet the pledges which they
.. had undertaken.

4 Our failure to meet these mini-
_ Mum quotas takes place against
_ 4backeround of an already over-
_ Strained financial operation and
4 has to be viewed as part of our
4 °Ver-all circulation achieve-
E Ments and failures during 1966,

__ The reasons for this undoubt-
 @dly will be analysed by the in-
_ dividual Press Clubs, There is
20 organization which does not
_.4Pon its inception, however mod-
_ &St a form this may take, attempt

© voice its aims and policies

through the printed word, Our
Paper is the leading spokesman
for the most numerous class in

_ Canada — the Canadian working
Class,

__ In the complex issues which
_ We are facing in a world of rapid
_ Changes, the Pacific Tribune is
_ More than just a\reporter of

_ €Vents; it interprets news scien-

. tifically and is a valuable guide
for ail progressive Canadians,
p Our failure to achieve for the

: Pacific Tribune a circulation
- More in keeping with its import-
 Nce and our failure to utilize
7 it fully in our everyday strug-
—8les and to let it carry its mes-
Sage to wider circles of Cana-

dians must be viewed against a

_ Packground of great mass move- '

Ments and an expanding social
Wareness by growing sections
_f Canadians.

’ i is quite obvious that, within
2 S context, we must re-evalu-
i € our attitude towards our

circulation in 1967

paper. There is no single instru-
ment which is potentially more
effective to carry our message
to the Canadian people. Many of
the issues which the PT has rais-
ed over the years and many
of the solutions which it has ad-
vocated in its fight for a better
Canada have been accomplish-
ed by the people in their every-
day struggles.

From this point of view we can
be proud of the job which our
paper has done, It is quite ob-
vious that our PT has no equal
in the community, voicing as it
does the message of the most ad-
vanced elements of the Canadian
people,

Within this context our paper
deserves a much wider circula-
tion than it now enjoys. The truth
is that we must elevate our paper
to its proper position in our work
— to be our DAILY companion
and trusted co-worker in our
every-day life, including the
preservation of world peace,
On this basis we must not allow
ourselves, as we did in the past,
to attempt to increase circula-
tion just for a period of a few’
weeks as we suddenly remember
that we should also meet our PT
quota,

We will be successful in ex-
panding the circulation of our
press to the same degree that
we recognize its importance as
an all-round tool and helper for
365 DAYS A YEAR — irrespec-
tive of our field of activity or
the area in which we live. To
consider the Pacific Tribune as
an “also” job is obviously in-
correct,

Soon the Press Committee will
be suggesting a number of pro-
posals for a program of increas-
ed circulation to introduce our
paper to many new readers in the
coming year. To do this we will
again rely on our tested friends,
readers and supporters.

In closing, thank you again for
all your past efforts. May the
New Year bring peace and happi-.
ness to each of you.
