on those Sundays
away from Home!
Jim Howard looks forward to the week-ends. He likes
to spend them at home in the bosom, of his family. So,
when a prolonged business trip found him at loose ends
in, a strange town that sunny Sunday mortnng, his cup------
of sorrow and discontent was overflowing — until he
suddenly thought of Long Distance and the new Low
Sunday Rates. “It will be almost as good as being with
them” thought Jim as he briskly stepped
to the telephone.
•On both “Anyone” and “Person-to-
Person”, calls,. Low Night Rates apply ’
after 7 pan-, and ALL DAY SUNDAY.
THE UNDEMONSTRATIVE
HUSBAND
TIME
"A throb of sympathy was roused
ip newspaper offices from coast to
coast by a mournful. wail from the
Nantucket Inquirer, which <. laments
the lack of news in the district. The
Nantucket paper says: “There has
not been a fiye, there has not been
a bank robbery, there have been, no
births/"there have been' ne marriages/
there^has not begn £ runaway horse,
there has .hot' been a railroad acci
dent, there has ^^beeri , a shi>
wreck, .Thexp has net . been a mur
der, no one has fallen overboard, rip
one has, fallen from a roof, no
tramps or isuspiciWus-Iobkihg per-
sons have been's^en hanging around
no airplanes havi ikfid up,"“there
has not been. > hold-up, mxman hais
run away with another man’sT'wife.
no one has absconded with another
person’s money/there was no presi
dent’s birthday ball. As a matter of
fact, there has not even been a real
good dog‘ .‘fight - to liven up. Main
Street.” Everjt weekly paper is from
Time to; time a vfetim of”this lapse'
of news, and so little can be done
about it; The newspaper -does nor
make the news, it .merely records
what happens. And in this recording
it must have the interest and : help
of the readers. It is a commonplace
experience—it must be—for readers
. to say “there/s nothing Tn. the paper
this week,”-Perhaps there would be
more news if all subscribers thought
of the paper as theirs,/and .remem
bered to pass on any little items of
which they are aware. Perhaps it is
literally true that there are periods
ih a coinmuLjiity, when nothing of
an evenl^ul nature is happening. At
any rate when readers say “there’s
nothing in the paper this week” they
may rest assured that the newspaper
office knows it,
grievously over the reluctance of
community to riiake news, or to
the paper know about it.”

JIM HUNtER STARTS AT 5 A. M.
Jim Hunter,, radio editor and
news reporter of The Evening Tele
gram, wasn’t being interviewed, just
a quiet chat .oyer a cup of coffee-and
sandwich, following last Wednes
day night’s amateur show—but we
find that Jim’s job of' news broad
casting isn’t merely the ability to
read written copy at a high rate of
Speed to get it over iyith in the alot-
ted time, oh no! Five o’clock each

and condensing news for the eight
o’clock broadcast. Sixty 'feet of cable
from overseas has to be read and
the news youl w^int to hear picked
out. Tt’his iri addition to the local
news of Toronto and nearly centres
which1 comes to us each morning.
From eight o’clock until two Jim has
time off. returning at that hour to
go over the same. performance for
the evening’s new£.
No, Jim Hunter’s job isn’t of the
soft variety. He’s a busy n^ari—a
very busy one—but"' when asked if
it would be possible for him to come£
up and talk to the Lion’s Club some
night he quickly replied that it
wpuld ,be a pleasure.-^-Express-ITer-,
aid of Newmarket.
Officer McClevis of
, , who investigated, laid
two charges against Dickie, that of
drunk driving and for operating a
car without a driver’s license.
In. Magistrate Walker’s court here
on- Tuesday,—the—accused-—pleaded
guilty on both counts, 'and in press
ing for leniency his counsel, Lawyer
D. R. Nairn of Goderich, cited’ the
fact that ’ the mental anguish suffer
ed by the (jefendant, who had never
been in trouble before, coupled with
the loss of his car and the loss of
his job, was sufficient punishment to
warrant the court imposing the min
imum penalty for the dual , offenses.
Mr. Dickie was also paying for the
hydro pole and its replacement and
for other-expenses in eonnection with
the accident.
3 In reply to a question from the
bench Mr. Dickie said he was a mar
ried man of 35 years. n
_In view of his making a clean,
breast of the* whole affair and not
attempting to excuse himself in any
way, Crown Attorney Freeborn sta-'
ted that the prosecution would be
satisfied with the imposition of the
minimum, penalty in this case.
Stating that Rev. Dr. Inkkster, an
eminent divine of Toronto,' had so
interested himself jn this case as to
write the Court .giving the accused
a most excellent character reference
Magistrate Walker declared that he
had duty to perform not only to
wards the accused but to the public,
arid that he had always tried to
make his, a/ court .of justice rathe?
than a place of punishment.. ,
The press had been frequently,
urging for uniformity of sentences,
but each individual case has to be
tried on its own merits. Last week
the Court had a somewhat similar
'ase> where a drunken driver ran
nto another’s car asd smashed it to
smithereens and the aggressor is of!
such financial shape that the victim
vill not be able to get any- redress.
He had given the defendant in this |
•ase the maximum penalty of thirty
lays in Walkerton jail. In the Kin-
oss episode* while the driver was
drunk, the circumstances were so en
tirely different as to warrant ,the
ninimum penalty being imposed,
vhich the court declared would be
-even days in the Walkerton jail on
he drunk driving charge and a fine
if $10 and costs of $3.50 for operat-5
mg a car without a driver’s, permit.
