Mentreal on Saturday. The weekly newspaper, which takes into account the local and regional personalities of its readers, is the ideal spokesman for a public mindful of its rights, he told the Canadian Community Newspapeks Association annual meeting. Concentration of other media ;has led to uniform news reports aimed at a stereotyped reader in da.ilies across the country and the same wire service stories in radio and television newscasts, he said. He acknowledged that weeklies are concerned mainly with local and regional issues, but said their personal character should be preserved and hopefully they are still one of the best training grounds for Some ',cold steam" vapor- izers may trigger asthma attacks. Designed to increase the hum- idity in rooms, the vaporizers are often used for patients who have influenza, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. The moisture can help unclog conges- tion and make it easier to breathe. But fungi can flourish in the misty paradise if the devices are not cleaned often and cared for properly. Tests by Dr. William R.Solo- mon at the University of Mich- igan -- which were reported in a recent issue of Medical Tri- bune -- showed that vaporizers can spew out the fungi into the air In the room. When some vaporizers are turned on, the airborne particles can increase by as much as 470 times! Some of the millions of part- icles are one-celled fungi that multiply by dividing like crazy. When the fungi are breathed in, young journalists.. Sven though communication was becoming more electronic, weeklies would Still hold an, important position. "The weekly paper will be nailed on to defend the rights of the average- citizen, this eiient Majority which submits without opposition" he said.

Dr. Solomon tested different vaporizers on volunteer asthma patients and patients with re- current allergic summer symp- toms and found that unclean de- vices caused a worsening of symptoms within a half hour. To avoid this problem -- which can also occur in humidifiers in gen- eral as well as some air con- ditioners -- people should be extremely careful to clean the devices thoroughly and frequently says Dr. Solomon.

I needed a home for a dog which refused to be housebroken. Again my neighbour came to the rescue and found a home for it. I must admit, when I want to either sell or get rid of something my neighbour is a big help. My wife also looks forward to my neighbour's weekly visits. He always has many subjects of interest to her: such as weddings, recipe's and even remarks to make about raising children. He also keeps my wife informed as to what's on at the local theatre and where she can go for enter- tainment. My neighbour doesn't miss much. For example: there was a big American Caddy at Mrs. Van Snoot's down the street last week. My neighbour informed me that it belonged to her brother-in-law up from Chattanooga for the week-end. When I asked about poor old Mrs. Barton, my neighbour told me that she died- yesterday and the funeral service will be held on Monday. When I inquired about Mrs. Hubbard being as-big as a house, my neighbour informed me that she had twins last Tuesday. The amazing thing about my neighbour is that he is seldom wrong, and when he is he will correct himself the following week. I can count on what he has to say as being the truth. Not only does he tell me all thirci Once. for hest 441004 pa,gP: in the .00171 to 3000 claps. end the. lVfilvertell SPA took third place :in a similar competition. in the 1001 to 2000 Neither the geatp.rth nor Brussels paper was entered in the COMPetitiens, these things, but he shows me pictures as well. My neighbour is not above expressing his opinions, even though I frequently disagree with them. He is also willing to listen to my opinions whether in agreement with them or not. My neighbour does demand a small fee for his services. However it is barely more than enough to survive on. You know, this town would have a difficult time getting along without my neighbour. My neighbour is also your neighbour. As a matter of fact he is talking to you this very minute. He is known by some as "The Blabber" and sometimes when he hasn't much to say, by others as ""The Weekly Minute". But most of you know my neigh- bour by the name "The Goderich Signal-Star". So, you see, a hometown news- paper is just like having aneigh- bour who not only keeps you informed on everything that is going on but as a neighbour who will help you with everything from buying a house to procuring recipes. Yours truly, James Kingsley USE POST WANT-ADS DIAL 887-6641 Victims of vaporizers A letter by a Goderich reader James. Kingsley which appeared in the Goderich Signal Star was selected from entries submitted by readers in community news- papers across Canada who des- cribed what they liked about their home town paper. Mr. Kingsley, who was in Montreal for the event, received $300 and a gold medal award and a similar award went to R, G, Shrier, publisher of the Goderich paper. Following is Mr. Kingsley's winning “Hometown Newspaper" entry, as it appeared in the Signal-Star. It was headed '"My Neighbor." I have a neighbour who visits me once, but only once a week. I just say "What's new" and he's off and running. He tells me all about Joe Black's car accident on South St., Farmer McDonald's Barn burning down and What's going on in the Town Council (although he quite often gets carried away with this subject). I'll ask my neighbour how the hockey team from the factory made out the other night. He not only tells me who won but that Archie Smith scored at 8:10 of the first period and my team lost 1-0. Last year I decided to buy a house. My neighbour told me Beach's Real Estate had one for $14,000 and Howe's had a large listing of homes for sale. Thanks to my neighbour I found the house I wanted. Last month. I bought a car. Once again my neighbour advised that Honest Harry had a :oderich subscriber has best letter in weeklies t,s, ...
