CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1976—PAGE 15
Is .rine censorm' g?
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. In 1978,
more than 20-,000 at-
tended.
These seminars are
only one of the Bank's
many management
services. Also available
are management cour-
ses.
