Easter Means New Hope for
Ill our part of the .world Easter comes at a time when
even the seasoits have prepared mankind for the signifi-
cance of the event. After the lung, dark weeks of winter,
Easter heralds the birth of a new season of growth. Easter
spells the first signs of new life,
Such vas the meaning of the first Easter. The arising
of our crucified Lord was intended to prove to doubtful
humans that the power of evil would not prevail over
all. The resurrection \va;'.-Visible proof that new life is ever
awaiting those who would emerge from the darkness and
despair self-sufficiency.
With the passng years the true meaing of Easter has
been re-asserted and certainly at no time in the intervening
centuries has the importance of its message been more
apparent. Mankind has become so enthralled with its own
devices and evils that mutual extinction could \vell be the
outcome. If all men, Western and Eastern, Soviet and Cap- 1
italist, Korean .and Chinese—and above all, Canadians,
would let the message of Easter sink into their hearts the
future would indeed be bright with the dawning of a new

You Can Have It, Doctor!
Talking to one of our local doctors the other day, we
foolishly mentioned that we were a bit tired. The medical
man casually said he felt the same. It later developed that
he had enjoyed a total of approximately eight hours' sleep
in the three nights previous. He wasn't bewailing his fate.
He wasn't even aware that he was speaking of anything
particularly unusual—it happens so frequently that he
forgets about all the people who think they are hard done
by when they have to get up in the early hours to give the
baby her two o'clock bottle.
Our candid opinion is that the average rural practition-
r has about the toughest job on record. Despite the fact
`that any given night may bring only a few snatches of rest,
we expect him to be on the job early in the morning—and
cheerful into the bargain. If he walks into the sick room
with only the suggestion of a frown on his face we natter
about the doctor being in an ugly mood. No matter how
weary, he is supposed to exude that carefree charm which
will reassure the worried parents and build undying con-
fidence in ,all his patients. If the doctor manages to sneak
away to a show with his wife one night in two months, that
will be the night he gets a call loran emergency operation.
All is well if the caller manages to drag the physician out
of the theatre, but if, by chance, he can't he found for an
hour or so, he has let somebody down.
If the doctor was able to amass a tremendous fortune by
killing- himself with hard work and lack of rest we might
say he deserved his own discomfort—but the simple fact is
that we can think of a hundred and one occupations which
pay ten times the returns for one-tenth the effort ex-
pended.
Personally, Doc, we wouldn't blame you if you told half
the people to take a jump in the lake. Just one thing.
We're like all the rest of the folks. When you get a call
from our house, please don't take too long getting there.
'We're depending on you.

Could We Have It on the Front Page, Please?
Unless you have been a newspaper editor you can nev-
er imagine the touchy problem of trying to select the items
for the front page of the paper. Almost every week some-
one feels just a little hurt because his or her item was
relegated to an inside position.
The fact of the matter is that the front page of a news-
paper has to be kept within certain given dimensions, It
will hold only so much—and no more. The publisher tries
to select the most interesting happenings of the week with-
out fear or favor, but at the sonic time he wants news of
almost equal interest to carry the readers' attention to the
inside pages as well. The fact that your club or school
board or your farm forum was given front page position
this time is not necessarily a guarantee that it will always.
be there.
From time to time we viii make changes in the general
set-up of the paper, for in this business, as in any other,
changes have their value. Without them our efforts would
become altogether outdated. Whatever changes are made
will, we hope, be for the better. There are bound to be a
few readers who will object, but we believe that the vast
majority will approve.
During the past week a second typesetting machine has
been installed in our plant. The added facilities will permit
us to enlarge our coverage of the interesting happenngs in
Wingham and district. With your co-operation we hope
to be able to give you a bigger and better newspaper.

The whole machine is mounted on a standard rail-

which also supplies steam for heating water to melt
