And what a power- ful voice is represented by the com- bined efforts of these hundreds of small community papers spread across the length and breadth of the land. Every now and then, on the metro- politan dailies, some of us get illusions of grandeur. _ We see our giant presses rumbling out hundreds of thousands of copies of our papers, see the teletypes and the telegraphs chattering madly, the big trucks tear- ing off to all` pbints of the compass, hear the newsboys shouting on the streets. And the mammoth size of the operation sometimes dazzles us into the idea that we're fairly large pota- toes in the journalistic world. In a sense, I suppose the size and circula- tion of a newspaper is important. But-I often wonder whether our very size is not a handicap, occasionally, in getting close to the people ‘s e serve whose feelings we are supposed to reflect accurately. The best newspaper brains on the largest dailies in the United States, for instance, wrote off Harry Truman with great assurance before the last U.S. elections, But Harry proved they were wrong. If they had been reflecting accurately the mood of their country, they would have been right. I don't kilow, but it seems to me that you wouldn't catch a weekly newspaper editor being wrong very often about the winner of an election in his community. And it strikes me that it's more important to be right about a few people than wrong about a lot of people, The weekly newspaper editor usu- ally has time to light up his pipe, stretch out his feet and have a talk with the subscribers. It's not a daily newspaper editor's fault that he can't do this. A big daily has a way of thawing ravenously at his time. But in the case of the weekly editor, he may often, in one day, exchange opinions with a farmer, a welder, the mayor, a housewife, and the presi- dent of the town's largest industry. These exchanges of thought need, by no means, be formal . The chances are, if the editor has been in his chair for some time, that he recorded the birth, high school graduation and marriage of one or all of these sub- scribers. In which case Subscriber William Jones becomes merely Tom Jones' boy. And an editor who might be fooled a bit concerning the atti- tude of William Jones is not likely to be misled very far by Tom Jones' boy. Out of this intimate and friendly relationship there must surely grow that most magic of all journalistic ingredients, sometimes called the ability to "keep a finger on the public pulse." If this bond has been well and truly forged, no newspaper can fail to be important, even though its entire list of subscribers could be mustered in a small community hall.

HOPPER REPRESENTATIVE Canada Life Assurance COMPANY WINGHAM • PHONE 462 When Service is Required on your Lighter or Pipe send it to CAMERON'S BILLIARDS WINDHAM -:- ONTARIO All of us go through life, to some extent, trying to make our lone small voices heard 'mid the clamor of the Multitude Which sounds all around us. Whenever some purication is close enough to us to reflect our thoughts and the things we want to say, we feel that we have become articulate and our loneliness is alleviated in some degree. In this respect the weekly editor occuPies.a golden chair, a chair of great dignity and great responsibility. He has been given the opportunity of acting as the voice, and, in many ways, the conscience of the place in which he lives. And this small town or village, multiplied, is Canada. The golden chair, of course is not without its lumps. It is a little difficult to throw the book at a local political candidate and then be con- fronted with his injured and reproach- ful countenance the very next day or even on the same day. In the case of the weekly newspaper, the so-called man on the street can cease being one by merely taking a half dozen 'steps into the editor's office. Not only that, but the weekly editor may have to interrupt his written discourse on the complicated world situation to help a customer compose a classified ad offering a washing machine for sale. This may be awk- ward at times, but I can't help think- ing it is educational. Sometimes the problem of the lady who wants to sell her washing machine can bring the world situation into a little clearer perspective. Such incidents can serve as a sorts of decompression chamber for those who have been prowling around rather deeply in the world's affairs. Perhaps the daily newspaper, trying to keep pace with the events of the fast moving world, is victim of the atmosphere in which it serves. Read- ers who in a few short years may forget Stalin's first name are not likely to forget the day Aunt Maggie won the prize for the best cake at the fall fair. Or that Elmer Smith's hound trotted out the sideroad one day and turned up three weeks later, 30 miles away in Jackson's Junction. And I'll be hanged if I can say for sure which is the more important. Stalin is getting a lot of publicity these days, but for all I know, Elmer Smith may have had a pretty good hound. WORK STARTS ON TEESWA'rElt SCHOOL Contract for the building of Tees- water's new Separate Public School has been awarded to Mr. Mel. Wedow of. Hanover, with cost set at some $35,000. Of modern design, the school will contain two large class-rooms, plus extras, all on the one floor. By the time the new building is equipped the total cost is estimated at $45,000. Work on the structure is supposed to get under way next week, and it is expected it will be ready for use by November 1st, The old school is being removed, and it is anticipated that classes will be held in the church basement at the beginning of the new term in September and until such time as the new place is in readiness. There will be accommodation for more than eighty pupils in, the new 2-, room school. The Board has already engaged another teacher, in the per- son of Miss Mary Hundt of Carlsrube.
