Regina, - Taking a week's holiday
from. this news letter turned out to be
a busman's holiday and I wound up
in Regina, .Sask„ Queen City of the
Plains, taking in the annual convention
of the Saskatchewan Division of the
Canadian Weekly Newspapers Associ-
ation.
After two days and two nights on
the train, Ottawa and its hive of war
activity seems a remote place. Out
here on the long stretches of flat
prairie, with the manpower available,
the farmers are garnering a crop
which, while it isn't so much compared
to last year's record bumper, will con-
tribute greatly to feeding the .United
Nations.
For miles and miles on end one sees
threshing rigs going full blast and
numberless straw stacks-golden yel-
low mounds that tell a story of
nature's gift in fruition. On the train,
which rumbles ceaselessly on, is found
Part of the public opinion of Canada,
and for anyone interested in the dis-
semination of information here is a
fountain of interesting hours to he
spent., It is on a• train too, I think,
that some 'of the mechanics of public
opinion is moulded and considerable
inter-sectional goodwill is cemented.
But rumours are also spread, and mis-
information is spilled around promis-
cuously. And it is also where political
hash is potted.
More people are travelling than ever
before; and more people are learning
more about Canada than they ever did
before. Good will come of it. I was
talking to a western agriculturist who
had been down in Quebec taking a
looksee. He had probably hated to
persuade himself, but he admitted
frankly that the Quebec farmer "was
doing a good job".. . . that he was
in most cases, and in his own way,
really farming better than the western-
er had given him credit for. I only

You run into interesting things on
a train alright, I talked with a diplo-
mat's wife who was just three weeks
away froth Stockholm with her two
small children' and a Norwegian nurse.
A high priority got her out of Sweden
by plane, Some of her observations
I think will record here something
that I haven't seen suggested anywhere
in the press of Canada or the United
States, She had spoken to newspaper
people in Stockholm, to people from:
Germany who ,had been in Sweden on
business, to refugees just escaped from
occupied Norway, and she said the
feeling, is growing that Germ$ny will
soon quietly move out of Norway and
be rid of what's turning out to be a
decided pain in the neck to her
economically, militarily; and otherwise,
This is the "something" that I haven't
seen even suggested before.
She said conditions in Norway are
terrible, worse than what you read
about, There is an average of about
forty Norwegians getting out every
day to Sweden and she ;had had, the
opportunity of getting first hand in-
formation. She confirmed the reports
that no German troops have moved
through Sweden for some time, ever
since the Swedish, government promul-
gated that edict.
People recently from Germany had
told her that the city of Hamburg, for
instance, was really totally obliterated,
Fires so terrible raged there after the
big raids that they didn't even try to
stop them, and cement flowed down
the streets like lava. Berlin has taken
a, terrible pasting and is in a bad way,
but her information was that the
morale of the German people is not
yet shaken to the extent where there
is liable to be an early, ,collapse,
To get back to this prairie conven-
tion, which is thought important
enough to be attended by the National
President, J. W. Rowe of Manitou,
Manitoba; and the Managing Director,
C. V. Charters of Brampton, Ont,, a
high note of the convention, as it was
at the national affair in Toronto, is
the contribution weekly papers can
make to the winning of victory. Why
I mention this is because they merely
reflect the opinions and the physical
and moral effort of those who read
weekly newspapers-the people who
live in the areas not classed as urban.'
The Regina Leader-Post in an edi-
torial today ,voiced,this sentiment aptly
and in the"following paragraph of that
editorial showed what the daily news-
papers-which means the daily readers
too-think of the weeklies, which-
as we mentioned before-means you
and you, too,
"The weekly newspapers constitute
the veritable backbone of public infor-
mation. They reach, a reading group
that the dailies barely touch. They
enjoy an intimacy'of relationship with
their subscribers that metropolitan
newspapers regard with envy but can
scarcely hope to equal because of their
much greater and thereby more im-
personal circulation."
"When this has been said, let it be
quickly added that in this war up to
now the weekly newspapers have done
a remarkably effective and magnificent-
ly unselfish job in supporting the war
effort. They have given generously
of their time, space and energy and
will keep on so doing until the war is
won. They are not holding out for
more of anything except a greater op-
portunity of contributing to victory,"
Along a similarly serious vein of
thought was Premier W. J. Patterson's
address to the convention. He asked
the newspapermen in their various
communities to preach the doctrine of
hope and optimism, which Must, how-
ever, be checked by the propect of time
serious problems which are still facing
us. He thought it was up to people
to retain their true sense of proportion,
not to regard the general outlook from.
any standpoint of our own personal
problems; we should take the broader
and national view. He meant we
should not miss the forest because of
the trees,.
And that ends a rambling newsletter
that had to be, despite the supposed
week's holiday.
