Most of them publish once a week, and, bec»» e thee specialize in the local news and the doings of the district in which they are located as distinct from Canadian and world news, are known as "community newspapers." Everything in them, be it news or advertisements, ia most carefully read, as their editors ilnd out, should they &nake a mistake. These e&litors, more especially in the Greater Van- couver community papers, have to combine the quaBti»s of an advertising super'-aleemann, a first-class coBector, an inde- f&ciseh)e». porter, s bookkeeper, and s diplomat, aB these in addition tp their regular editorial duties, Mostly they have at the hack the makeup of a fighting man, and they'eed it sB, for th.v S»t nothing unless they Yo after it and have to fight cnnid»&enely the oppneition of the r&ty papers, mail snd bill- bnsrd advert(a(ng. The condition of their bank balances would ront»ery to pnhlic opinion. s)eo show that they are in it for the Vnve nf th» game. To these newspapers is coinmitted the creation, cultiva- tion, and maintenance of that most important thing of «B to any district, an active community spirit. Without this np district can make any progress or attain to any prosperity worth while. And yet, what little support many community papers receive from the merchants and the residents of the district they serve and help to build up. Almost without exception no chain store will advertise with them, many'ocsl merchants consistently fail tp support them,'nd,. bemuse from the nature of the case they are bound to give s free circulation, very many residents refuse to hand them the small subscription which would materially help them in their efforts. Such is the inside story of the average community news- paper in this province, and, if there are any residents or mer- chants who doubt the value and influence of the local paper, they»sn fii»d out its truth by quietly. visualizing just where they and their town or district .would be hsd they to rely solely for local advertisements and news and for the further- ing and"support of local objects on the big city dailies; ANNUAI. CIIKISTMAS.CONCE[(T r»»av West Vancouver Public Schools The annual concert put on by pupils of the West Vancou- ver Public Schools will take place at 7:SO p.m. next Wed- nesday, December 14th, in the Inglewood School auditorium. The proceeds go towards the purchase of schools sports equip- ment, this being the only means by which it is possible to raise the money. These annual concerts represent a very great deal of work out of school hours on the part of the children themselves and also of the teachers, who do aB the necessary training of the young performers. They are always well worth attending, whether one is a parent or not, and the program is always varied and full of interest. It is hoped, therefore, that a large number of parents snd others wiB come to the aduitorium next Wednesday evening. The admission is only 25 cents.
