Parliament Will Act (Midland Free Press) Canada’s seven hundred weekly newspapers represent all shades of political and editorial opinion. They are an example of the working of free speech and of free, competitive .enterprise. Un­ like their daily sisters, they boast no “chains”, no would-be barons of the press. It is, therefore, on only very rare occasions that they agree on a particular policy or pro­ cedure. And when such agree­ ment is reached, Canada’s gov­ ernmental authorities have al­ ways given them a considerate hearing. That is the case now, as the 564 member papers of the Can­ adian Weekly Newspapers As­ sociation ask the federal govern­ ment . to revise its shies tax policy. The weekly newspapers of Canada, collectively, are big bus­ iness, the biggest single influence on opinion in the Dominion. In-; dividuaily, however, they are small businesses, owned and operated, in the main, by small businessmen. They live by advertising and consider publications financed by private advertising the surest safeguards of the freedom of the press. Yet, with their relatively small circulations, they are faced with very strong competition for the advertising dollar. ’the government’s own child, the C.B.C., now shares a portion of the weeklies* former revenue and is expanding on funds de­ rived from tax receipts. Magazines of general or farm content, regularly undercut town and village newspaper subscrip­tion. prices, in the hope of build-1 Ing giant circulations and,thus| attracting advertising dollars Enters Finals In Oratory Ross McPhail of Cromarty, a Perth County Junior farmer, will represent this zone ,in the Ontario Junior Farmer public speaking finals in Toronto.

Second place was won by the Huron county entry from Exeter, The members of the group were— Harry Dougall, Harry Hearn, Lucille Boyce, Margaret Dougall and Jack Stewart. Sixteen members of .the Mit­ chell, Listowel and St, Marys Junior Farmers clubs attended the course, W. J. Knapp, assist­ ant agricultural representative for Perth .County also attended. An nual Meeting Of Crop Improvement Association At the annual meeting of the Huron Crop Improvement As­ sociation 'which met in Clinton, Elmer Robinson, Colborne Twp., .was re-elected president; Alvin Bettles, Goderich Twp., first vice- president; Russell Bolton, Mc- Killop Twp., second vice-presi­ dent. Gordon Bennett was ap­ pointed secretary and Fred Wil­ son, assistant. Township directors for 19 50 are: East Wawanosh, H. Sturdy; Ashfield, Heber Eedy; West Wa­ wanosh, W. Washington; Turn­ berry, Nelson Underwood; How- ick, Bob 'Gibson; Grey, William Turnbull; .Morris, Richard Proc­ tor; Hullett, Oliver Anderson; Tuckersmith, E. J. Jacob; Us- borne, Rich. Etherington; Hay, George Armstrong; Stanley, Mur­ ray Grainger. W. R. Dougall, Hensall, county weed inspector, and H. Strang, Exeter, ex-president, were named to the board of directors. Elmer Robertson and Alvin Bettles were appointed delegates to the On­ tario Crop Improvement Associa­ tion convention. Harry C. Pearn Mr. Roy Pearn, of town, at­ tended the funeral of his brother, Harry C., son of Mr. and Mrs. ■Gilbert C. Pearn, Fullarton Twp., Saturday. The deceased was , in his twenty-sixth year and had been ill since the lattei* part of October. He was born on .the third concession of Hibbert Twp. Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers and four sisters. Interment was in the Woodland Cemetery, Mitchell. A candidate recently began a review of his accomplishments by telling his audience: “Now I am going to tax your memory “Gee whiz! Has it come to that?” interrupted the voice of a taxpayer in the rear of the hall. which might find their way to the rural press. Week-end newspapers, not .a few of whom feed on sensation jn their drive for mass circula­ tions, also boast to advertisers that they cover rural Canada and that there is no need “to Use the weeklies”. The weekly press is not afraid of this .type of competition. The weekly newspapers play a vital role in the life of the smaller communities. They are better read than their big .city com­ petitors and the advertisements which they' carry are also better read and thus bring better re­ sults. But weekly newspaper pub­ lishers do not object to being subjected to taxes which neither the C.B.C. nor the magazines, nor the week-end newspapers have to pay. On every ton of paper used by the weekly papers of Canada there is an .8% sales tax payable to the federal government. There is no similar tax, how­ ever, charged on papers used in Canadian Magazines .Or American magazines sold in this country. There is no similar tax pay­ able on paper used in the pro­ duction of most week-end news­ papers. There is no similar tax pay­ able on paper used in comic books or pulp fiction magazines. Yet all these media are adver­ tising competitors of Canada’s weekly newspapers. That this situation doesn’t make sense is obvious. It is equally obvious that the mem­ bers of Canada’s federal legis­ lature will realize the need for equity in sales tax ^applications. This discriminatory legislation I must go! The Voice of Temperance The opponents of the Canada Temperance Act are trying to make out that It has failed tp prevent the giving of liquors to minors. This contention is un­ founded. The Canada Temperance Act definitely forbids a public carrier delivering an order of liquor to a minor, Moreover the failure that is scandalous is the failure of the Ontario Liquor Act to keep minors out of beve­ rage rooms. The Huron Tempe­ rance Federation is sure that there is less temptation and dan­ ger for minors under* the Canada Temperance Act than under the Ontario Liquor Act, (adv’t) Page 11 THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY The sugar beet is normally a biennial — storing food in the root during the first year* and sending up seed stalks with per­ fect flowers the second. The flowers are in dense clusters, re­ sulting in formation of seed balls, each with several seeds or germs, thus making hand thin­ ning .of seedlings necessary. The seed balls are hard and com­ pletely cover the tiny , germs, Attempts have repeatedly been made to develop strains of single­ germ seed but without success. Wartime shortage of , hand labour greatly intensified need for redaction in spring labour requirements. This led to experi­ ments in cracking, oi* segmenting beet seed .balls so as to get most­ ly single germs for spaced plant­ ing. In 1934 C. and D. Sugar Company installed its first seed­ segmenting plant, , since then greatly improved. Segmented seed reduces labour of blocking and thinning beets by about one- third. Current Ontario beet crops are planted with 9 0 per cent segmented seed. Next week: Growing a Biennial in Twelve Months tkatxi M, Mrs. Smith’s shopping trip might have taken an hour. Actually, it took three minutes—by telephone. To housewives in a hurry, the telephone means a lot. It’s like having an extra pair of hands to help out—an extra pair of feet to run errands, or get help in emergencies. Any way you look at it, your telephone is big value. No wonder more people are using more telephones— and that requests for service are at an all-time high. We should like to be able to provide service for all whp want it, when and where they want it. We will continue to do all we can to reach that goal. $ THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA CANADA AND DOMINION SUGAR CO.
