+ | =====Editorial - Election Threats.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | On March 10th you will once again be required to elect the Club Officials, including your unworthy Editor. It might therefore be of interest to know what you are in for if we are re-elected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Three years ago we warned that, should contributions lag, the editorial would grow longer and longer. The effect of this menace was salutary, and it was not until the middle of last year that contributions waned. The editorial was creeping well down the third page before readers realised their danger and copy came in in the desired quatittes. Should contributions lag again the editorial will become not only longer, but duller. It will deal almost exclusively with conservation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Many members expect the Editor not only to edit the magazine, but to spend his remaining spare time in writing up news items and articles to fill its pages. Let it be understood that if members cannot be bothered doing this themselves no effort whatever will be made to persuade anyone to write anything. On this our policy is clear - no articles no magazine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Throughout the year we will continue to criticise: the Bushcraft Association, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Club affairs our ideas are firmly embedded in the year 1927 and will never advance. We disapprove of hitchhiking, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In previous years we have given a lot of time and trouble to the encouragement of photography, | ||
+ | |||
+ | If re-elected, we want an assistant who will report club doings, and on occasions bring out the magazine. It is sometime very inconvenient to be tied to a magazine production at the same time every month, come holidays or hard work. Everybody else who does anything for the Club has an assistant and the Editor wants one too. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is probably superfluous to point out that with advancing years we become increasingly cantankerous. In addition we have gone somewhat stale on the job. It would be much better for the readers if they elected someone young, tolerant and progressive, | ||
