Wihen Valentine’s Day rolls around, everything is hearts and flowers with a definite leaning to­ ward the feminine side of the ledger. , On Sunday, it will be .Father’s Day And we’ve’decided;to mention the fact in our editorial column so that for once, the menfolk can take a ibow and their rightful place in a pro-female world.

Theirs is a role demanding stability ... and God alone knows that’s why men were selected to be.fathers. masters of the nation. Though women race around with seeming vigor and wisdom,'men are built and emotionally equipped to handle the momentous de- . cisions-which after all make any unit —: family, business or government — ■ strong, dignified and influential. 1 ‘ A Men are understanding, generally. They have to be to live with and stay with the modern woman. Men are also' generous, unselfish, gentle and proud., On top of all this, men make won­ derful fathers. They commuhe with their sons in the most mysterious ways, > creating in their male offspring a genu­ ine feeling of trust and admiration which mothers can never hope to claim. And fathers cherish their daugh­ ters, spoil them so completely that no Is WE WERE particularly interested in this. bit of philosophy concerning newspapers Which appeared recently in the Stratford Beacon-Herald. We think ' it sums up very nicely what every news­ paper — large or small — is trying to accomplish for the community it serves, “ newspaper is many things to many people. “To some, it is reality •— a living textbook that records each passing day of world history; to others, it is escape — a refuge of entertainment and re-— a refuge of entertainment and taxation after the day’s chores. “To the housewife it is ideas new recipes and new clothes. “To the teacher, -a homework signment on current events; to school children, a notebook item. “To the mother, suggestions for raising the youngsters. “To the lonely diner, a companion; around the family supper table, a topic of conversation. “To sports and theatre lovers, who and what is playing, when and where. “To athletes and actors, scrapbook material. * , for TO as- “To an unknown, it brings fame; for ia. well known, it furthers hismame, . “To a publicity seeker, it is a haven; . to the publicity shy, a source of annoy­ ance. “To the seller, it means quick re­ sponse; to the buyer, many selections. “To some, it brings good news;. to others, sail tidings. . . “To friends and neighbours, it tells about job promotions, school gradua­ tions and who got married, who was born, who died. “To the voter, it- is ^guidance; to the politician, friend or foe. “To opinion searchers, it stimulates thought. • To front step sitters, it describes life’beyond the horizon. “To the immigrant, it is a school­ book that helps (him learn English; to hunters of truth, it translates the cus­ toms from which the immigrant fled. “To the living, it is a source of free­ dom and hope; for the dead, a tribute to their virtues. - • ■ “What else costs so little, os so use­ ful, 'and adds so much to our lives?” Beautiful June JUNE is a month of long daylight'. The mornings" come stiffly out of nights with a touch of. chill. The insects are sluggish until full sunlight comes. Early risers catch visions of mists in hollows, sparkling like jewelled webs. The pigeons gossip m the eaves and birds wait subdued for the signal of warmth. The new leaves of the trees glisten with dew, splintering when touched by a vag­ rant breeze. City gardeners are rewarded by garden patches,) still neat and as yet undisturbed, by invading weeds. Here, before they catch the morning bus for ' the daily routine they may enjoy the rewarding partnership of man and soil. On such a morning a transplanted countryman can remember the sounds of cowbells tinkling on distant .pastures, or overhear far away conversations with startling clarity on the soft air. He may eVen relive the chilling delight of cold, damp, grass on bare feet and • imagine he hears the collie excitedly scouting the lair of his ancient summer adversary, the groundhog. Reluctantly going in for breakfast he is touched on the cheeks by the warming, sun, as iirt prepares for the task of giving nature a firm help toward summer growth. In that instant he will have a bittersweet pang about the trea­ sure of June meadows, and ^vor in im­ agination the tantalizing/taste of Wild strawberries. —The Montreal Star. ■ ■ PRICES, despite the visible easing of inflationary pressures in recent months, could rise by more than the 3% predicted by Finance Minister Sharp.The rise might be 3.5% or 4% « enough'to get inflation talk going again. This is the summary of The Financial Post’s special analysis of price trends in Canada. . Certainly, The Financial Post says, new pressures on domestic prices are likely to be felt in key areas. Construc­ tion costs are likely to go on climbing through 1967, house prices and rents are rising fairly steadily^ as are appliances, clothing and many other consumer items. Despite Finance Minister Sharps removal of the 6% sales tax on produc­ tion machinery, it is not likely that car prices will drop for a While. 7 V Clinton News-Record ERA THE HURON NEWS-RECORD Established 1881Amalgamated 1924 Published Every Thursday At The Heart , Of Huron County , ( Clinton, OhtaHd, Canada Population 3,475 A.
