Working together they cleared land, built homes and roads end schools, shared their tools as quickly as they spared a cup of flour. Today the frontiers have moven to the underdeveloped countries all around us, where raillinns of people are struggling to rise from poverty. But Canadian pioneers are there in spirit, too, voluntarily lending hand to others through CARES aelfeHelp Program. While CARE food gifts must still bring vital aid to the hungry, Self-Help gives them the means to increase their earnings, improve their health and education, so:tha t they will no longer need our char- ity. Certainly our best tradition is voiced in CARE'S appeal; "Give them the tools to help theenselves." Plows, hoes, livestock for farm- ers; equipment for fishermen, seamstresses carpenters and other artisans; new lepoks and writing supplies; medicines and, hospital quipinent—.all are among the tools CARE distributes as personal gifts rom Canadians, Many of these emsaxe sent in. CARE packages ranging froth 51 school kits to e90 sewing machines. Many more are specially purchased for villages, clinics, schools and training- centers. 1'ocomplete prior- ity Self-Help projects in 23 areas of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, a minimum of 5,000,000 is needed this Year.

Within a few days after the publica- tion of last week's paper the pub- lisher had received no less than ten different suggestions for its proper location. Although there is likely to be a great deal of divergent opinion„ it is a healthy sign that the need for swimming facilities of some kind are urgently needed here. Another in- teresting point is that many of the suggestions came not from the young people who are likely to use the pool, nor from the 'parents of young children, but rather from, older folks viio have spent many years in this town. Many are of the opinion that the scenic beauty of ,the Maitland. River and the water it can provide should be employed in any pool which may be built, presumably at considerable saying in cost. At this early date it is impossible for anyone to make definite statements about what can or cannot be done, for any plan of action would have to be studied with great care, The first and most important step is the public meeting on the question, to be held within the next week or two. At that tune there will be full opportunity for the ex- ressiou of opinion. Watch for announcement of this gathering-and let's' see the whole town. out 'to deal with a vitally- important matter, • WELL ABOVE PAR This newspaper has always back- ed the Lions: Frontier Days to the hilt, because it is our opinion that the service club goes all out to pro- vide a grand, clean celebration at the lowest possible cost to the' public. We feel that this year they hive ex- celled themselsies. The stage show in the arena on Friday, evening was received with roars of approval by the thousand- odd who attended it. The quality of entertainment provided by Gordie Tapp and his supporting stars was top-notch and the audience left no doubts about their acceptance. As these 'words are written on Saturday morning prospects for the afternoon appear rather dim, since there is a. lively thunder and rain storm in progress. However, disap- pointing it would be to forego that particular event, the balance of the Frontier Days will still total up to a very worthwhile celebration for the community. Since we don't have a fa11 fair, or other specific fete of any kind in the town, the annual Frontier Days, coupled with the newly-born Kin Trade Fair in the spring, very defin- itely help to keep our town in the public eye., The Winghartt inites ilring*** Ointikdo- 1014,40 *oho* Pubtialtene W.

Next Septem- bets 1959, will see the 100th birthday of the founding of the Canadian Press Association, which included weeklies as well as daily newspapers, There are in Canada today, more than a dozen weekly newspapers that were charter members o'f the Canadian Press Association when it was formed in 1859. A number of years ago the dailies and weeklies separated to form their own associ- ations, and thus •the CWNA and the Canadian Deify Newspapers Associ- ation were born, Both groups ' of course, still retain membership in the century-old Canadian Press Associ- ation. a To put it another way, Canadian weeklies have stood together as a fraternity since long before Con- federation, enlarging their member- ship as the various provin6es came into being. Today the CWNA has 517 members from coast to coast representing every province and vir- tually every community. Delegates to next week's 'conven- tion will Come from far away New- foundland and from Vancouver Is- land. They will meet to discuss common problems in publiahing Can- ada's well read weeklies. As always too, many wives and children will be present for they are part of the `CNVNA family. Indeed many of them, as our readers know, are active workers on the family news- paper. To these people and, we trust, to our subscribers, many Of the prob- lems to be discussed will have-real meaning, problems such 'as the rising costs of materials and equipment and the shortage of experienced workers and our constant fight to keep advertising and ,subscription rates from rising. To this tan be added, of course, the rapid growth in Canada for communities which often means that weeklies mu, ,t expand their plants and buy new equipment, These are some of the problems that confront delegates next week and in attempting to find solutions delegates will be giving real service to the industry, not only to CWNA members but non-members alike. From convention deliberations will come much that will benefit the sub- scriber and the public. Like all conventions the C\VNA get-together will have its social side when delegates will greet old friends and make new ones. But over and thxough these pleasures will run the serious thread of discussion hi, the interests of members and the public,. And lest we be thought ungrate- ful, may we say as we have before, that the falthful subscriber is still the keystone of a newspaper's being'.

It was pointed out that the by- law which compels dog owners to keep their animals tied up during the summer months remains in force until the end of September and, every effort will be made to see that the law is obeyed, in view of the extra hazard which exists this year. One owner, who had been noti- ' fled previously to confine his dog, is to be charged under the by-law. Councillor Bergman, reportng for the cemetery committee, said that there had been some com- plaints about the condition of the flower 'pots. He pointed out the the pots are watered twice a week, which is ...adequate in average seasons when there is more rainfall than this past summer. The water- ing reqiiires sixteen hours a week, since there are 233 pots to be tended. He eepressed the opinion at the cemetery employees are spending as much time as possible on this job.

ER of the swimming spots in towrf has shown that many from the sur- rounding district come into town to swim and it is reasonable to sup- pose that the residents,of the rural distrirt" are just as interested in the safety of their young people as are the townspeople. • The popularity of the Turaberry- Park swimming pool glees ample indication ,of the support which may be expected from rural folks in the construction of a pool in Which they would share equal priv- ileges.
