Part of the line was to be perxnan-

Later, the PUC informed Council
that its ,water department has no
funds to carry out such work. The
project was revived Friday night
when Council authorized the neces-
sary steps to construct a water line
and install a hydrant at the dump.
It may be necessary to issue de-

Councillor C. M. Robertson ask-

at the dump:
'Phe' signs prohibit everyone from

::g ver a.,bi1 of :Viihii4tY is. not the
,sole responsibility of .:the news-
paper i1 a community. .
'Improvements and changes for
the.. good; of . the- community as a
whole should proppe�rly be shared
by all citizens of the town and the
district. A • newspaper's first re-
sponsibility is to inform. Its sec-
ond is to interpret. - Any news-
paper worthy of the name is always
ready and willing to serve its com-
munity in .any good cause but it
has a right to expect that readers
who wish to express their views
on controversial matters avail
themselves of the freedom of the
press by taking the trouble to
write a letter..
Newspapers are not policemen.
A good many incidents of interest
to the public can be going on in
town and the newspaper may not
be able to report the whole story
simply because both parties in-
volved do not come forward, with
complete details.
Recently, the Signet attempted
to find out why the press was
barred from a council budget meet-
ing. After considerable time it
was finally surmised, whether cor-
rectly or not, that the mayor called
the meeng in camera although
he did no come right out • and take
the full esponsibility. • He • men-
tioned the budget • figures, were
available to the press if they want-
ed them. However, it is the con-
tention of reporters across the
nation that they should not have
to ask for facts; the true account
should be given freely, in an open
meeting so that one and all can
know what is going on.

Production of poultry meat has
skyrocketed in the past decade,
with last year's crop hitting an all-
time high of over 529,576,000 lb.
A staggering 96.9 per cent produc-
tion increase has been "'recorded
since 1948.
Predicts. Further Boost
Outlook for this year, Mr. Bonny,
man said, is that therewill be a
further'' beost In produ_ction. An
increase `of 18• to 20' per cent is
anticipated for turkeys and a' sub-
stantial one for chickens.
Demand for poultry meat has
been good and the per capita con-
sumption is continuing to climb.
In 1948 the per capita (figure was
19119 lb., while last year it ,was
33:30 lb..
Mr. Bonnyman pointed out that -
the greatest 'competition to poultry
meats comes from, so-called heavy
meats. Beef, excluding offal and
canned meat, last year showed ' a
•per capita consumption ''of 74:8 ib.,
and it is expected production this
year will, be up. Pork had a per
capita consumption rating last year
of 40.2 lb. and a 10 per cent pro-
uetion hike• is anticipated. '
But there are many other foods
