TV IS UNSHACKLED The 'news last week that the Federal government would permit the establishment of private television brought forth a sigh of relief, not only from those who are actively interested in TV, but from public-minded Canadians everywhere, Unfortunately the legislators who wrote the law in which freedom of the press was guaranteed were not blessed with the wisdom to foresee radio and television, so the law-makers of oar own century have been left with a loophole. Because the original law did not expressly mention these latter day methods of public influence, they have been kept firmly and squarely under .the thumb of government, where they could do no harm to the nation (or to the government). To all intents and purposes radio and television are "the pres:,", just as are the printed publications. It is high time that both t.1..e permitted to operate in subjection only to the goodwill of the public and the laws of libel and slander.

Because there are more people interested in the community's welfare, as demonstrated by the increase in attendance at the nomination meeting on Monday evening, More than two hundred turned out to name their candi- dates and to hear the speakers. It's a sign of improved municipal health, Mayor-elect DeWitt Miller will enter his important office without a battle for the honor. He was not seeking an acclamation, but on the contrary stated on Saturday that Tie hoped the office would he filled only as the result of an election, Since he was not opposed , however, he, has no choice hi the matter. At this juncture it would appear that there will be a fight for the two reeveships and the council seats. We sincerer hope so, for the citizens of this town should have an opportunity to express their opinions on the ballot.
