Not only dg these ardent puritans protest normal publicity hacked by paid advertising but they gaze into their crystal balls and review tn advance a show of which they couldn't, if we are to believe their righteous out- | cules, ‘have any knowledge - Yet yesterday’s-letter blatantly. ordains that in te opinion of the ministerial association the’ report, of the Calypso Jamboree’s dance routines “is caleu- lated to stir up the public’s interest by appealing to | their baser emotions.” The logal clergy, for some in- explicable reason reviles a Vancouver. night club where some of the world’s ‘finest entertainers have | performed. Then. they castigate the Civie Centre for booking the'show. Finally, they- tell; not suggest or . uilge, but tell the parents of this city what they should dg with their children, No one, but no one, tells a newspaper how its news shall] be presented: That is the job of the editor, hired for that purpose by the publisher.
