The logical solution, of course, in the case which was mentioned would be for the town to purchase the property and thus, with the community's funds, assure the com- munity that the land be used for the purposes best suited to the public interest. However, more than one speaker, who was supposed to be versed in the zoning laws, con- tended that purchase by the town would not be necessary. We need more industry in our smaller centres, but we also need careful attention to civil liberties. Progress must never encroach on freedom. TO PRINT OR NOT TO PRINT! Last week we were taken to task because, as our critic claimed, we had reported the remarks of one of the speakers at the nomination. This speaker in question was outspoken in his statements about the town council or some of its members in connection with the policy of the Wingham. General Hospital. The claim of our mentor in this case was that we had no right to print the speaker's remarks because they were untrue. There would appear to be some difference of opinion as to the proper function of a newspaper, operating, as we do in this country, under the basic liberties of a free press. Thou who know something of the handling of news are aware that any attempt in reporting to indicate the opin- ion of the writer about the subject matter is the most flagrant breach of journalistic ethics. Such expression of opinion is confined strictly to the editorial columns. Since the remarks we are now writing are contain- ed in editorial matter we are free to say that we disagreed with the charges made on the public platform, but that had nothing to do with the f act that the charges were made; that they were made at a meeting which, above all others is public—the annual nomination meeting, where any citizen is free to express his opinions about public affairs. This business of your newspaper handling every con- tentious question with kid gloves can lead to only one conclusion on the part of the public—that there must indeed be something behind rumors if they can't be dealt with openly. The readers of this newspaper have even greater op- portunity to express personal opinions than has the editor, for they are free to put their thoughts into letters to the editor and if they desire, such letters will be published. We most certainly do hope that the charges in con- nection with the hospital will be denied, but there is no use beating around the bush about the' fact that the charges were made in the first place. Winter may have been slow in arriving this year, but when it started it didnt' fool. Monday morning the mer- cury slid to four above zero, just to let us know that despite the baby bonus and universal old.age pensions, the government hasn't been able to do anything about the weather—even in an election year. Why is it that the first snow of the winter always seems to be the most slippery. A rash of minor mishaps accompanies the initial snowfall, Perhaps the main trouble is that drivers have forgotten the caution needed to handle a car safely on snow-covered roads. In any case this season demands extra care if fatal accidents are to be avoided. Whenever you are at the wheel remember not only that the other fellow can make a mistake, but that you are not necessarily perfect yourself. If every driver is careful perhaps we can have an accident-free Christmas in our section.
