I know from practical experience how many men in later life hold prominent positions in the business, financial and profes- B. W. KEIGHTLEY siopal worlds, who have come from the rural districts. It seems to me that the home newspapers of those districts, amongst the first periodicals which young children read, can build into the hearts and minds of their younger readers a clear understand ing of the worth of our national heri tage, and leave with them something which they will never lose in later life, I cannot help but deplore the Hood of foreign periodicals, many of them second-rate editorially, which is coming into Canada at this time. It seems to me if we are ever to build Canada into the nation, to which we so often refer, we must start by building good Canadian citizens. I cannot think of a better place for this to start than in the columns of Can ada's weekly newspapers. I would en joy discussing this with you some time when we can have a chance to sit down together. lours very truly, B. W. KEIGHTLEY, President, Association of Canadian Advertisers. Advertising Manager, Canadian Industries Ltd. Montreal, Que. No. 9 It is very flattering to have a Can adian Weekly Newspaper Editor like yourself and one who has such a strong influence in his own commun ity ask me the question set forth in your letter. The question itself, how ever, would suggest that you are very much more an idealist that I could ever hope to be. I have long ago giv en up the idea that I have been en dowed with any divine mission to re form the world, I doubt very much whether or not any man can do very rmuchvto make his community “a bet ter place in which to live and work” ■ except insofar as he can do a thor- .oughly honest, conscientious and able job in the place in which Providence Jias placed him. If this formula holds good for the ^weekly newspaper editor then he can not possibly do better than to make his paper a good weekly paper. Now, whether one is merchandising a news paper Or an automobile one does not get very far by trying to make one’s Thursday, June 10th» 1938 II for the educa- d welfare of the nation. I would not I .crusader but would let every crusading spirit have its fling in. my columns, remaining on the sidelines as an observer, arbiter, gen eral solon and friend of everybody. My ideal in physical equipment would be to own my own little en graving shop and to flood my paper as far as possible with pictures of the people and the events of my own con stituency, A small newspaper which tries to ape the metroploitan daily is fighting a losing battle. The small newspaper, however, which is weav ing itself into the life of it§ own com munity is building a citadel which nothing can overthrow. These are my thoughts possibly quite foolish and but if they are of any use to you shall be happy. A, M. MILLER, Director of Advertising, Chrysler Corporation of Canada, Limited.

The break in the electric system was soon repaired, however.—* Teeswater News, public take something they do not want. In other words, no matter how high or progressive our ideas may be about the kind of merchandise people ought to want we would! very quickly go out of business unless we actually give them what they d1 course all people do not want the same things and, the individual or group wants different things at diff erent times and in different moods. This gives us a wide raqge of choice in .satisfying the idealistic side of our own natures. We can cater to either the higher or lower ranges of our customers’ desires. Now, no matter how ignorant he may be the actual job of publishing, every advertising man at some time or other has formulated what .he would do if he were publishing a newspaper. I am no exception to the rule, Here is my own dream. If I were publishing a weekly news paper I would try to make it reflect all the joys, sorrows, desires, griefs, ambitions and happinesses of the peo ple of my own town—of all grades and kinds of people in my own town. I would have no preferences. The lo cal man of wealth would be no more interesting to me than the family in the clapboard shack. I would follow the careers of all of them with a de tached but loving interest. I would take no part in any quarrel o,r dis pute, political or otherwise, but would present both sides of every contro versy. .This, however, would not pre vent me from sitting in my high edi torial seat and expressing my own opinion about current events. In fact I would be very emphatic about ex pressing my own opinion but in the editor's column only—not in the news columns and not by “colouring” the news. I would, in my column, pat the Prime Minister on the back when I thought he had done well and kick him in the pants when I .thought he had done badly; and the same for ev ery public character, group or move ment. I would be very careful to avoid any bias in headlining or in re porting of events. I believe that the partisan newspaper is very rapidly go ing out of date and that newspapers are coming to deserve and obtain the confidence of the public in proportion to their impartiality in presenting the news. I would be for my own town and county, but not too selfishly, remem bering that my own .people are part of a great Dominion whose various groups and sections have more inter ests and ideals in common than in conflict. I would be for any person or society which might be working, Buyers Of THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY. LIMITED.

In acquitting Keller the jury disregarded testimony of Hog garth that when he located the steer, two months after one of his had dis appeared, the animal recognized him and bawled a welcome. Defence coun sel Frank Donnelly told the jury the steer’s “welcome” as described by Hoggarth probably was merely a call for supper, as it was feeding time.— Goderich Signal-Star.
