ONC4 LA 3Q R Pay is past the entire tempo of living , changes, Rain this Tuesday seemed in keeping with the day. Not that the beginning of school is an entirely sad affair—far froth it. But there may be ,a few tears shed in many a young persons home. Geared to mark a special' day for those who labour with their hands, this has cornett) be a holiday for everyone and .a day on which summer .ends and autumn begins. A multitude of youngsters seem to r appear Pi -1 streets and sidewalks .as if by magic, Where had they .been all summer long? Of course, there were dozens p little people in swim suits and shorts and vacation clad touristy Young folk—but not the youngsters that make up the everyday living of our town. It's good to see them back; they set up an accustomed pattern of 9 a.zn. and 'noon hour, 4 p.m. and knots of gay young folk gather here and there. One can almost set ones clock by the look and the atmosphere in a small town. A Centre.. Of Learning CLINTON IS already a well-known centre of learning,. From the time of Clinton Model School, 40 years ago and, before, an. education was sought here by people who travelled many miles for the op- portunity. The collegiate has always set a high standard of excellence and many renowned people have gone from there to enrich the nation and the world. ' RCAF Station Clinton is a vast school which has educated young. men and women from all provinces in the Dominion and young men from each of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion countries in the past 21 years. Now there is on course there a group of men from Germany — now . our allies, but once the very people, that forced the construction of Station Clinton. • 'With a "composite" school under construction to serve the specific needs of certain ,secondary school students from three other school districts in the county,' Clinton stands on the threshold of a new phase of educational oppor- tunities. Three primary schools are now in operation. Clinton Public School has nearly half a thousand pupils. St. Jo- seph's . Separate School has about 100. Calvin Christian School has opened this week for the first time with two teach- ers, 70 pupils and the earnest good wishes of the folk in the area who wanted this type of opportunity for their children badly enough tobuild, furnish and equip this private institu- tion. 'Also at Adastral .Park is the Air Marshall Hugh Campbell Public School with 400 primary school children of RCAF personnel, Truly we are blessed, arid our young folk should surely not go wanting • in the opportunity to study, to learn from the wisest minds of the ages, .and to go forth into the world, better fitted for what may be required of them. Advertisers Make Newspaper Possible would not therefore 'be in the adver- tiser's own interest to try to dictate ed- itorial policy. Here at the Clinton News -Record we have' had very few attempts' made by advertisers to "dictate" to us. And' those few attempts were • rebuffed. Summing up, the advertiser makes it possible to sell the paper for a few cents a, piece. An independent, out- spoken press provides better advertising 'than does a subservient one. No paper, therefore, ' need be dictated to by its ad- vertisers, even though, the advertiser does provide the major part of a paper's revenue. (This is the third in a series of edi- torials explaining how a weekly news- paper functions.) THE ADVERTISER is' the man who makes • the modern newspaper .pa's sible. He provides the major part of the revenue, , for ' without advertising the subscription price of any paper would be prohibitive. The advertiser wants to . sell his goods or servicesto' a large number of clients and therefore must get his mes- sage to prospective customers. A much higher percentage of both news .and ad- vertising appearing in the hometown journals is" actually read than that ap- pearing in a metropolitan newspaper, of a national magazine. This 'fact IS the reason why the weekly is such a valu- able advertising medium. The readers are customers=—one half of all retail buying in Canada is done in small cent- res served by weeklies. While on the subject, we would like to refute the old chestnut that adver- tisers dictate a paper's policy. The ad- vertiser wants his message read,' and thatmeans a large number of subscr- ibers who have a fair amount of faith in the paper. Such a circulation is pos- sible, over a period of years, only by a paper with an independent policy. It Conventional THERE ARE only a few people in the world who in their small ways are willing to strike a blow against uni- formity. The waitress -in -training asked the customer if he would prefer his soup' before or after' his grilled cheese sandwich. Silently he lhonored her for the novelty of her suggestion, but crav- enly murmured -a conventional "soup' first'.. --Printed Word. `Crumbs Of Comfort Predictions of good fortune only partially realized raely shatter belief. Diviners through the ages probably have had no better than a .25 batting average, but ,for every diviner there is at least one apologist ready to explain away any seeming lack of .exactitude. If after a Sunday' tea in the garden the tea leaves are interpreted as saying "Nothing • but good on your holiday," and the unfortunate holidayer then tob- oggans down a seventeen -step stairway on her shinbone but rises ' up with no bones broken, her faith in the teacup reader will likewise remain firm. If the tea leaves announce, as they so .of- ten do, "good' news" and the next day she recieves a letter reporting a griev- ous financial loss but with a postscript' about a remote cousin safely delivered of a baby boy, this becomes the "good news" and the financial loss is over looked. It is uncanny, she says, how accurately Aunt Sabitha foretells the future. This very` human desire to believe in good fortune strengthens many a man on his way to battle. . And when the result is less than victory, a stab- born determination to findd spine good in the outcome probably helps hint to tise up arid fight again. - By September 27 Messrs. Diefen- baker, Pearson, Douglas, Thompson and Caouette, being human, will probably all havercached a point in theft' interpre- :. tation of the June 18 vote where they are in fighting trim arid sure of victory should there be another election in the near future. There may be a need in all political leaders for what 'on the surface appears to be self-delusion. Or it might be cal- led any one of a number of things— self-confidence, belief that right will conquer in the end, or just plain faith. No matter how defined, its recurrence every four or five years - or oftener — insures continuation of the demo- cratic process. Only one party can win, but the defeated always seem to find enough crumbs of comfort to nourish them in preparation for the next election. (The Printed Word) Just Do It Aird' - Simile What good did it do - - to be grouchy today? bid your surliness drive any troubles away? bid you cover more ground than you ` : usually do Because of that grouch that you carried with you? If not, what's the use of a grouch' or a frown, If it won't smooth a path or a grim trouble drown? If it doesn't assist you it isn't Worth while, Your work spay be hard but just do it and - anile. 2')ise Traveller.
