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.

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.
