The answer I get is a, positive and unqualified "no", Never could it be said, console/Ai- ously, that our Editor has ever kept news of any worthwhile product from us. Look for your- self — it's in the Post -- front Page, middle page and most of the back page. This,, then is not the offending area. What about Me Want Ad section? Perhaps herein lurks the object of our search. "The heck", you say, "No man — but no men can testify to the laxness of the Editor in this neck of the pulp- woods." Why, you know as I that over the years, many a splendid bargain has been offered here in. "suckling pullets" and "ready-to- lay Yorkshire chunks with spare tail-gate". Even the "brindle wheelbarrow With rubber tire due to freshen in March," and "20 tons of choice alfalfa hoar service" were bonafide bargains at which no one cduld turn up one's nose. Heaven, knows there wore those who would never have enjoyed another decent night's sleep to the longest day they lived had not the want ad section carried a vindicating notice which so miraculously cleared conscience, "Found a red heifer, 'Owner may have same by provieg ownership and. paying". How anyone could have ,been expected to identify the few pieces of brisket and neck that were lea at that time I'll never know. No, indeed the miss- link can never be found in the want ad section. Consider for a moment, then, the possibility that 'the mysteri- ous visitant is hiding somewhere among the People We Know?' Farbeit from our Editor to With- hold from. us any of the coatings and goings of our villagers, how ever trivial they may seem, much less the rendering of fal 'accounts of the annual or seasonal influx, and exodus of our native Sons and daughters to and from Walton, CranbroOk, Belgrave, and points beyond, No sir, it is for durn sure' that no secrets have been kept, concerning the People We Know, Let us turn, as a last resort, to •rotaintate the unlikely-loOking prospect of the Somewhat sinister sounding word "challenge", now We are getting warmer, The new Poet flails to challenge its readers as it formerly did — at last we have unearthed the doubtful virtue which we herd sought so painstakingly, "But", you rile, '9n what way is the new Post less challenging than the oldr Well, the first thing I noticed Which facilitated its reading and thereby rediiced its challenge was the Tito/total-ions nniformity with.
