THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
Why do men resort to the use
of stimulants? Have they found
life so dull and boring that it
can be tolerated only when the
human system is jazzed up by
high balls and cocktails? Do they
feel so inferior that they can be
happy with themselves only when
alcohol has incited in them a
false confidence? It's a reflection
on their own self-esteem and it's
a reflection on their Creator when
they borrow the show courage of
alcohol. The truth of the matter
is that there is nothing like al-
cohol to make a man a nuisance—
noisy, quarrelsome, and profane
--san embarrassment to his friends
and afterwards an object of re-
proach to himself, This also is
the truth of , the matter; life in
itself is so good arid its enjoy-
orients so keen, it's a shame to
spoil it ell with strong drink,
intoxication and drunkenness.
This advertisement 10 inserted
by Huron County ;Temperance
Federation, 21-b
MOTORISTS looking forward to a safe and
pleasant holiday on May 24 are urged to take
into their plans the lives of any and all child-
ren who may be playing on roads or streets
that day, This year's Victoria Day 'traffic will
be heavier than in any previous year.
Since May 24 last year, the number of
vehicles in operation in Ontario has increased.
This means greater risk to both pedestrian
and motorist.
Inattention is one of the chief causes of
motor vehicle accidents. Heavy holiday traffic
calls for more than usual care while walking
or driving. Perfection in motor car operation
as well as alertness on the • part of everyone,
is a combination to which, if all who are
travelling or walking pay strict attention, can
reduce the toll of holiday deaths.
(By JIM GREENBLAT, Editor, Swift Current
(Sask.) Sun in "By-Liner")
"SO YOU WANT TO OWN A WEEKLY?"
Brother, are you asking for it?
Once or twice a year we manage to get
to Toronto, and once or twice a year some
friendly native steers us into the Toronto Men's
Press Club for a friendly-aperitif and sandwich.
And — just as soon as we get comfortably
settled in 'an armchair, and feeling the first
faint glovis of goodfellowship permeating the
brain cells and once again agreeing that the
murals are wonderful — it happens.
A fellow in a neat but citified double-
breasted suit sidles up and drops into the
chair vacated by our host who has gone for
another round. He has a somewhat harried
look, as if he'd been someplace and hasn't
realized it yet., There is an egg stain on his
coat lapel, telling of • the sudden dash from
the table that morning, for the poor guy had
an hour's ride on the bus ahead of him be-
fore reaching the office at zero hour.
Samesold story, "So you're a weekly news-
paper editor, eh?"
We answer in the affirmative, but with
appropriate humility, Us hick editors never
know, when we come to the city. The guy
might be a big shot editor of the Globe and
Mail, the Telegram or the Star or a dude like
George McCullough himself. A fellow from
the country has to be careful.
Then it happens again. A wistful look
spreads over his taut face, Here it comes: "You
know, I've always had the idea that some day
I'd like to own a..weekly."
Something Wrong
There you have it. There must be some-
thing organically wrong with cities that in-
duces well-paid, big-name newspapermen to
hanker for the "idyllic life" of running a week-
ly newspaper.
But brother, you're asking for it?
You think you have worries in. the news-
paper business in the city? Stuff and non-
sense. If you want to live to the ripe old
age of 55, brother, stay put in the city, Daily
newspaper business is candy. You've got city
editors, managing editors, social editors, edit-
orial editors, picture editors, provincial editors;
reporters for this and reporters for that. What
do you guys all do for a living, so many of
you turning out one paper?
So you want to own a weekly newspaper?
Well, if you want to know—you fellows who
get ulcers from looking at the murals in the
Toronto Press Club — it's a good life but a
tough one, in aalanguid sort of way.
You want some advice? Okay.
First of all, banish all preconceived no-
tions you may have had about weekly news-
papers. The air is fresh in the small towns;
You can look out on the hills and vales from
your office window without the obstruction of
a 90-foot chimney belching vile black smoke.
But a fast buck comes much slower than in
the city—and you can need it just as bad.
Forget Your Pride
You've got to „ be prepared to be humble
and quit talking out of the side of your mouth,
because everyone walks on common ground in
the small town. Overalls usually mean they
cover the legs of a guy who owns a thousand
acres and a herd of pure-bred cattle, News

If you need Insurance, I have
a Policy,
Motorists may do their part by making cers
tans before they start out that their cars are
in perfect condition, then drive as if they
expected others to be less careful than they
are themselves, Pedestrians may help by ahow-
ing good sense about the way they cross streets
and roads, by looking, both ways before ventur-
ing out, by crossing only at intersections, and
by giving the moving vehicle the sensible
right-of-way.
Sixty-three of the 121 pedestrians killed
in rural areas last year, says the Ontario De-
partment of Highways, met death crossing high-
ways, and 38 were killed while walking along
the open road. The most important precaution.
to avoid such accidents is to walk on the left
hand side of the road facing oncoming traffic
and do not attempt to cross the road until the
way is clear,
doesn't come from a teletype or Canadian Press
leased wire, but you dig it up right from the
grass roots.
You gotta be prepared to handle trouble,
if you want to own a weekly newspaper in a
small town. And you must be prepared to
let your flesh shrink in terror after having
the courage of your convictions to take a stand
on community affairs. Everyone knows the
editor. That's the heck of it.
You have to change your way of life, bro-
ther. It's a good life alright, but one which
produces ulcers, too. For one thing, you've
got to be sure you've got the right kind of
wife, who can double as reporter, be a Walter
Winchell, cook your meals, belong to all ladies'
organizations in town and still keep friendly
with the banker's wife whose daughter's first
name was spelled wrong ,in the paper last week,
You've got to be prepared to saerifice the
ingrown notion that freedom of *the press is
license to try and run your town. You've got
to learn that what happened to • the porker's
litter on the Smith farm is more important
than Estella Lamoor, the strip teaser being
shot in the groin at a hot spot.
You've got to be able to take it, brother,
with a weekly newspaper.
You get to the office after a particularly
devilish night of reporting the annual meet-
ing of the Board of Trade, follow it up by
looking in on election of officers for the Can-
cer Society, then slip over to the Elks hall
for a peek at Bingo in aid of the Boy Scouts;
s drop in to interview Louie Sing Ah about his
ancestors being prosecuted in Red China; then
call at the police station, to see how the Chief's
new uniform fits.
You're Well Off Now
You still want to own a weekly newspaper?
Why don't you let well enough alone? You
get your pay cheque regularly every week,
don't you, and you pray the wife will give you
enough out so you can sit in that nice soft
chair at the Press Club and watch the murals
go by.
But , kidding aside: if you've got forty or
fifty thousand bucks saved up and want to
bring your family to a place where, living is
a wholesome thing; where you get to know
your next door neighbour and the one five
blocks away, too; where you can get to ihe
office or the golf club in your car in about
three minutes any old time of the day; where
you can find a parking place any hour of the
day or night; where noises are subdued and
pleasant to the ear; where most people are
humble and honest and worship God regularly;
where people are real neighbourly, and friends
come in volume and not as isolated instances—
if you want a certain amount of peace of soul;
if you don t care about too many fast bucks—
why, then, find yourself a nice town of say
from three to eight thousand and buy yourself
sa weekly newspaper.
And preferably in the West, Guess we're
prejudiced out here. Yesterday we had the
grandest visit with the retired conveyor of the
town's night soil, Made a wonderful story,
believe it or not. And today we're wearing
an unpressed pair of slacks and an old coat
to Rotary luncheon,
Sure, get yourself a weekly paper. Even
if you die young, it's worth it.
