great ovation. If every Signal -Star
reader hod witnessed this inter-
national event, pride in Canada—
the best all-round bid most Divine-

received real impetus. It is my
opinion that Canadians in general
fail to grasp their heritage of
grandeur and, the sheer magnific-
ence of their Atlantic to Pacific
homeland.

pression to my feolngs for I have

Towns and their newspapers
usually lag or lead together. Pro-
gressive journalism is the unfail-
ing tonic of the lethargic com-
munity.
There is no better conununity
asset than a home newspaper equal -
to the needs of the comanunity.
While a poor newspaper is better
than none to the individual read-
er, that does not .hold true for the
town.
What can a good newspaper do
for its community? It can serve
as the town's messenger to the
outside world. It must take the
leadership in the community pro-
jects if they are to be successful.
It -is -the infallible- line of com-
munication between the local gov-
ernment and the citizens. It is to
the newspaper that all 9rganiza-
tions turn for assistance in public
welfare movements and without
that assistance they face—failure.
The- newspaper deserves to reap
the reward of its initiative by
sharing in the general improve-
ment of business and community
affairs it has assisted in bringin
g
about. The good newspaper
deetns it a pleasurer• to serve its
community and its readers and is
fully aware that it is only through
doing a full measure of service
that it can progress and prosper.
