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.” The Lucknow Sentinel Published every Thursday morning ht.

Provincial Walkerton, 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 morning finds our friend of the air waves busy at hi‘s desk compiling 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.

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.
