,,,,.., d't' One of the problems of e I mg a community newspaper is deciding what goes in--and what doesn't. Wrestling with that problem in recent months, we have been changing the priority lists. One thing that must go in, we have concluded, is more in- formative and in-depth coverage of news affecting the entire La Jolla community, not just a few people. That is why today's issue, for instance, includes stories about La Jolla's most troublesome and dangerous intersection, prospects for extending tough slgn controls here, a plan for preserving La Jolla's endangered historical sites, the latest legal woes of the problem-plagued La Jolla Financial Building on Prospect, etc. TOO, we have concluded that in the past we gave far too much coverage to routine "soclal" news such as private parties. So you see fewer such stories and pictures these days. Not that we don't enjoy parties--we do. We like going to them, staging them--even cooking for them ourselves. But in the business of editing the paper for thousands of people, extensive pictures and stories about private parties are sometimes superfluous . Those who attend already know what took place--and t ose who don't often couldn't care less. Of course, we continue to focus on the interes in individuals who live in La Jolla, where the l:1gl1t circulates, and in Del Mar-

Rancho Santa Fe Solana Beach, where our second edition, the Journal, circulates. That is why you see more and more feature stories--and why we have added new and provocative columnists, such as Maxine Saltonstall, Jerry Brucker, John Wood, Marilyn Ransom and Patricia Murphy, and the car- toons and caricatures of Alma Barkley.

Father Peregrine Graffius "I EE A growth in voca- tions m recent years, not enormous, but better than before," he said. "The future in South America looks good. We are optimis- tic, even if there are prob- lems, but they are not insur- mountable." At their sessions, the Ser- vite Fathers elected a new provincial and five coun- selors and mapped future ministries and goals. Father Jude Herlify of Ful- lerton succeeded Father Stephen Ryan of Buena Park as provincial. The conference was summed up by Father Justin Pisciotta, its coor- dinator: "We are serving humanity, especially s11f- fering humanity, as Mary did in suffering with Christ. Our lives reflect the mother ofChrist, to whom our order is dedicated. "OUR SERVICE and dedication 1s fulfilled within the context of com- munication. We wish to share life within the brotherhood an<1 with the lay community. Ours is a community of dialogue."
