page 2, April 20, 1977 - North Shore News.

Last Sunday the Nerth Shore News team

brought out our first Sunday issue. It was quite a
feat, the first extra issue that we’ve published,
and it went reasonably well. About forty thousand

North Shore homes received their Sunday News,

and ail forty-six thousand will be receiving it as
soon as we work the rest of the bugs out of our new

Sunday delivery system. ©

You’re probably asking
yourself ‘‘Why another
paper?’’ I hope that’s what
you’re asking yourself, be-
cause that’s what I want to
tell you about. We are
publishing Sundays for more
than one reason.

Sunday newspapers are a
fact of life in many parts of.
the world. Sundays. are
traditionally, for most

people, a day of rest and”
leisure. It’s a good day to

read your community news-
paper, and it’s a good day to
look at houses, or cars, or
whatever you are interested —
in at the moment. We think
that putting people who
have the time and inclination
and money together with the
people who have things to
sell is:‘a formula for success,.
and that is what we’re trying
to do, on Sundays.

That’s one of the reasons.
' Another is that we are simply
‘running out of space in our
Wednesday paper. The
growth of our newspaper
over the past year has been
phenomenal. As the late Jack |

‘Wasserman mentioned, the

other North Shore news-
papers are struggling hard to
catch up with what he called
our tremendously successful
‘suburban sin’ format.

If you are a regular reader
of the North Shore News, you
know that it’s a lot more than
‘suburban sin’ that makes
the North Shore News one of
the brightest and fastest-
growing community news-
papers in North America.
And there’s not much point
in growing if we are
squeezed for space in our.
Wednesday paper and forced
to drop our editorial space in
order to accommodate ‘our
advertisers. So our Sunday
paper is also a vehicle to take

Ca

some of the pressure off our

Wednesday newspaper.

What do I want to see on
Sunday? Well, I want to have

_@ newspaper on your door-
step every Sunday morning. 1.
want it to be bright. and’

lively, and I want you to want

to read it. It will take us a few

issues to get our formula
down properly. I’d° give the
formula to you here, but the

competition reads our paper

too, and I don’t want to give
it to them.

So that’s why you received

the Sunday News last Sun-
day: We hope that you liked
it, and we hope that you
continue to like it. If you

. have any suggestions as to

what you would like to see in
the Sunday News, or the
Wednesday News, for thai
matter, we’d sure appreciate
a note. Mail it to me: c/o the

Societies don’t spring up
overnight; they evolve over
generations,
shape through countless

- incidents. From time to time,

however,. major develop-
ments cause sudden, drama-
tic shifts in the structure of
societies. .

Construction of our great
trans-continental. railways

had this sort of dramatic

impact. The atom bomb
changed the course of world
civilization. And mow our
decisions about energy policy
will shape the pattern of the
Canadian society for genera-
tions te come.

The OPEC petroleum boy-
cotts and our own dwindling

reserves have ensured that.

oil will not be our primary
in the
future. Electricity, because it
can be created by technolo-
gies as varied as burning
coal to harnessing the tides,

is the energy of tomorrow. |

‘Though electricity c can be
generated in many different

_ ways; two new technologies,

nuclear. and solar, can be
expected to be major supp-
liers of cur future energy
needs. But the social ramifi-
cations of choosing one over
the other are enormous.

Nuclear power is synony-
mous with large-scale, cen-
tralized, heavily guarded
technology. Individual gene-
rating stations are so fantas-
tically expensive that only
the biggest of private corpo-
rations or government will be
able to finance them. Only
the most advanced techno-
crats can operate these
generators. And, since the
of political
sabotage of a nuclear station
would be disastrous, tight
security is always required.

Solar power is much
different. It can be scaled
down to the point where even
a single house or a commun-
ity can have its own
generating station. And be-
cause the of individual
installations would be rela-
tively small, we could finally
wrest control of energy
distribution out of the hands
of massive public utilities
and international ofl compan-
les.

According to the Canadian
Federation of Independent
Business, a solar energy
industry owned and control-
led by Canadians could
provide opportunities for
tens of thousands of small

firms in manufacturing, in-
stallation and service. ‘

Nuclear power, {n a

country like Canada which
has rich urantum deposits, Is
Inevitable. But the key to a
healthy society in the future
is a mix of soler amd nuclear
power. Too much emphasis
on nuclear power would be
