Bruce Shaw, principal of Seaforth District High School, is asking if Maclean's magazine is practising censorship. The principal is questionning why Maclean's dropped an articleon the book banning controversy in Huron County schools in issues sold to the county. Mr. Shaw said the article, titled "Bad News for Good Books: Mrs. Grundy rides again" appeared in the Oct. 2 issue of the magazine received by Toronto subscribers, but not in the magazines which sub- scribers received locally. Mr. Shaw called a press conference last week to ask if this situation had occurred by accident or by design on the part of Maclean -Hunter Publishing Ltd. of Toronto. The principal said, "The article, through implication, is opposed to - censorship, but ironically, Maclean's has censored the article for its subscribers in at least Huron County and probably Southwestern Ontario." The article, printed on pages 52b and 53c of the t'nagazine, refers to the 'banning of The Diviners in Huron County and quotes Colin Lowndes, the South Huron District High School teacher, who organize"d "the book's defence in the county and Sandra McLeod, a student at the school. Bruce Shaw told reporters that book banning is still an issue in Huron County and that residents should have a right to read about it. He -said if the article's - omission was simply an accident, then he felt it was a poor choice to leave it out of magazines coming into Huron Count. Mr. Shaw said, "I can understand why different parts of the country receive different editions because of the nature of certain advertising: for instance, a company in Toronto might provide a serviee for the Toronto area and may wish to advertise in a popular magazine, but have no desire to reach people in Vancouver - it would make sense for Maclean's to have in- terchangeable pages." The principal added it would seem reasonable to include regional interest stories in certain editions, similar to what daily papers do in their district editions, Mr. Shaw said, '`As an educator, I am angry, as an elected representative in the county, I am suspicious as to the rationale (or is motive a better word?) and as an individual living in Huron County, I am insulted." The principal said he felt "cheated" when he saw references to the Maclean's article in the Globe and Mail. After discovering other area subscribers hadn't seen the article either, he obtained a copy of the magazine from a Toronto subscriber and confirmed the omission. A spokeswoman at Maclean's said the company does have material which goes into regional issues. For example, if there are ads which are placed for the prairie provinces only, then editorial copy is added to back it up and the copy usually refers to regional issues. Business seminars set -The Federal Business Development Bank's Management Services will hold a management seminar for small business in Vanastra, at the Sandpiper Inn on December 6. The day's program will deal with taxation as it applies to the small business per- son, an 'area of growing concern these days when every penny counts. Several members of the local business com- munity are expected to attend the seminar on the 6th of December, 1978. Using the case study method, and with the expert advice of a chartered accountant, they will examine problems of taxation in a small business, the correct methods of tax calculation and the steps a small business person can take to reduce the amount of tax payable. Some of the problems to be discussed during the day include the choice of a year-end, the tax im- plications of in- corporation, dividend payments, the em- ployment of a spouse, and year-end bonuses, among others. The goal • of this seminar is to provide the small business person with an insight into some of the basic problems. Further, it is intended to help him -her to recognize problems when they arise, so that they can then seek the appropriate advice. "Taxation: an Introduction" is the latest in the Federal Business Development Bank's popular series of management seminars for small business; In 1977, more than 12,000 operators of small businesses across Canada benefitted ..from this program.
