Priced at $1.00 MAKING CANADA A Better Place in Which to Live and Work Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association LETTER NO. 30 Dear Editor- In my father’s home we were brought up-to be readers of the week­ ly press. We had in our home in Ox­ ford County, the Embro Courier, The Woodstock Sentinel Review, The Stratford Beacon, all well conducted and influential newspapers. All my life I have been a reader of weekly papers published in the smaller cities and towns and I know how great is their influence, in the lives of the people* Their Special sphere of in­ formation constantly includes the home, the school, the church and the municipal government. A large and most important fact of life. It is im­ portant for the welfare of the people that the weekly press should continue prosperous and influential. There is one other matter I sup­ pose one should mention—that is the question of politics. The old idea of purely* party organ is passing—yet CVery editor with a living soul is bound to be an influence on public questions. He cannot even give cor­ rect information without creating op­ ion. I sincerely believe the less welL known papers with local circulation are still largely the power behind the throne, Creating that public opinion —which the city uppers and public men generally seek to reflect and fol- low. It is. therefore most important that the editors of these influential Weekly journals should have free­ dom, and courage. There need be no­ thing partisan in them. I am not an admirer of neutrals. Sincerely yours, HUGH MONROE, Moderator of General Assembly, the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Ever Wonder Why You’re Constipated? Do you ever have days when you just have to drag yourself along, when you feel tired, sunk-be- cause of that constipation? Then why not find out the real cause of your trouble? What have you had to eat lately? Just things like meat, bread and potatoes? If that’s it, you may not have to look any farther. It’s likely your trouble is you don’t get enough "bulk." And "bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food. It means a kind of food that isn’t consumed in the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass in the intes­ tines and aids elimination. If “bulk” is what you lack, your ticket is a dish of crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast every day. It contains the “bulk” you need plus Nature’s great in­ testinal tonic, vitamin Bj. Eat it every day, drink plenty of water, and join the “regulars”! Made by Kellogg in London, Ont.
