The Icelandic Canadian - 01.06.1961, Síða 23

THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN

To a large extent both publications
reach the same readers and one might
have expected the usual competition
and rivalry in a common enterprise.
But such is not the case. In an editorial
in Logberg-Heimskringla of April 20,
1961, on the article by Dr. P. H. T.
Thorlakson in the last number of this
magazine, not only is the magazine com-
mended but the editor requests people
to become readers of it. “Gerizt askrif-
endur”, “become subscribers’’ the ed-
itor says and quotes the subscription
price and gives the name and address
of the Circulation Manager. An un-
precedented attitude towards a seem-
ing competitor.
The Chairman of the Editorial
Board of this magazine is on the Board
of Directors of the Company which
publishes Logberg-Heimskringla and
has made concerted and successful ef-
forts in helping to build up its ad-
vertising.
This close cooperation is not ac-
cidental, nor is it based upon an exag-
gerated sense of one man being his
brother’s keeper. It rests upon some-
thing deep and comes from within. All
serving these two publicatons, volun-
tarily or otherwise, realize and deeply
feel that both publications are neces-
sary for the amplitude of fulfillment
of a twofold duty which rests upon
them—a duty which centres on the
philological affinity of the language
of their forebears and the language
which here in Canada has become their
native tongue. The cultural wealth to
which the two languages are keys, can
in the future become equally inter-
twined as the two languages in their
early growth and development. That
will constitute the essence of the contri-
bution which the people of Icelandic
extraction will make to the cultural
development of Canada.
