Matter of Principle
There was an interesting
editorial in the December 16/65
issue of this paper entitled
"Letting in the light" quoting
"The Power of the press is a
mighty sword". Reference Ls
made to "Steve" the dedicated
editor of Big Town Illustrated.
At least some of you with
gray hair will remember this
radio program where Steve.
through his editorials and re-
porting was able to defeat the
forces of evil in one situation
after another. The News-Record
editorial goes on to say "Bad
things -- the creepy crawly
shiny things which can begin
where secrecy is allowed to
prevail; live but a short time
when exposed to the air, and
close scrutiny of public opin-
So far I can agree with the
editorial. The Power of the
Press (which must now include
radio and TVI is a mighty
sword.
But let us remember that
the sword kills the innocent
just as effectively as the guilty.
The gun in the hand of a gang-
ster can defeat justice with as
much efficiency as the gun in
the hand of a policeman can
enforce the law.
Reference is made to the
formation of a School area in
the Tuckersrnith-Stanley area
and to FAME.
As far as I am concerned the
editorial implies that there was
something creepy, crawly and
slimy about the things that
were done in the formation of
this school area and in FAME.
I don't know anything about
the school situation but I do
know two men on the Tucker-
smith council and I'm sure
they would have nothing to do
with this kind of thing. With
regard to FAME I know that
the leadership of FAME was
innocent of any kind of trick-
cn crookedness. Certainly
the Report of the Royal Com-
mission substantiates my state-
m.mt.
But what of the Press? What
percentage of the report of the
Royal Commission appeared in
the press? Even what did ap-
pear misled the public. The one
statement that was repeated in
Farm Co-operative
Manager, entering suddenly
"What are your feet doing
up on the desk"?
Clerk (thinking quickly):
"I was so busy that I couldft
stop to hunt for my lost
eraser -- so I'm using my
rubber heels. "
J. Carl Hemingway
every news item on FAME was
'he purchase of the Fearman
Co. in which the farmers of
Ontario lost $1,500,000. This is
not a true statement as yet at
least.
When a purchaser fails to
meet a mortgage payment the
former owner can reposess the
Property but the value must be
determined and if the present
value is greater than the bal-
ance owing, the difference must
be returned to the purchaser.
This could mean a very sub-
stantial return of the $1,500,000
down payment. I wonder what
Steve would have done in re-
porting on FAME?
I wonder how many of you
saw the CBC TV program
where it was shown how the
Toronto Star arrived at its de-
cision to support the Liberal
Party during the last Federal
election campaign!
Briefly these are the conclu-
sions they came to: first the
panel agreed that the NDP had
the best leader, second they a-
greed that the NDP candidates
on the average had the greatest
ability; third they agreed that
the NDP had the best plat-
form; fourth they agreed that
the public was not going to
change sufficiently to elect an
NDP government and that the
Liberals would be elected.
Therefore the Toronto Star sup-
ported the liberal party.
I wonder how much of the
decided against what it
felt was right and supported
what they felt was popular?
The editorial also suggests
that "Steve" must have cleaned
up the whole Big Town since
the program is no more.
My guess is that "Steve" be-
came weary of well doing and
sold out to the "Thompson"
chain.
In closing I hope no one will
think that I am being critical
of the News-Record. I know
of no other paper that would
publish this article, which I
think is sufficient proof of their
sincerity.
I would like very much to
know how many other papers
will copy it as they have other
articles on many occasions.
