Lynn Lashbrook, 54, of Rodney, Ontario, publishes the Rodney Mercury, and the West Lorne Sun, in the age-old type of one- man operation, but with the most up-to-date offset printing process possible. His publications have won niore than 35 provincial and national awards for general ex- cellence, editorials and adver- tising. Mr. Lashbrook's election follows a full Career of service to the industry association since 1956, when he was first elected to the board of directors of the On- tario provincial association. He served as president of "to en t.zn is 'Weekly Newspapers Association in 1963. During the past fourteen years he has served on the national executive. "I have seen much of the dra- matic change in this industry from an interesting perspective, and I have established a number of priority areas that I want stressed during my term of of- fice," says Lashbrook. "Fart of the thrust in our pre- sentations to Ottawa has been to demonstrate to the federal government that it can, and should, reach rural Canada through our membership. An audited circulation plays a great role in this sales process." "On the other side of the coin, we have to maintain a strong liai- son with parliament and with the �W�'Y.�f'YlY1l�YSt o nandarins in tine national capital to monitor legis- lation that would interfere either with our right to do business in our marketplace, or our privilege of speaking directly to our readership through our editorial pages," he Eaid. Mr. Lashbrook has strong views on editorial freedom in Canada and the need to be vigi- lant in all levels of government. Lashbrook speaks animatedly about the need for increased pro- motion of the industry on all levels including the grassroots level where he, as president, in- tends to increase the amount of visitation across the country. "I started as a printer's devil under my father who published the Rodney paper and became a full Lynn Lashhrook 1977-78 CCINIA President time employee in 1941, so..I know how badly we need to shout out our story of strength in reader- ship. t intend to see that Ave shout it out. "Community newspapers are an old medium that has a totally new and important impact as a result of offset printing and as a result of the sociological move- ment to the community for per- sonal identity needs. That is our message as an industry. "My subscribers know that the only place they can find •feature coverage and editorial leadsaashin for the town of Rodney and West Lorne is in the community papers 1 produce for them. This is our strength and it always will be," he said.

High cost of living is topic of Whitechurch WI WiITECHURCH--"Many peo- ple are confusing the high cost of living with the cost of living high." This was the motto pre- pared by Mrs. Bill Evans and given by Mrs. Fred Tiffin at the Resolutions meeting of the Women's Institute held in July. Mrs. Tiffin suggested ways in which one can beat the high cost of living : "write a list and stick to it; shop alone; shop once a week and buy in bulk; shop in a market chain closest to you; buy the store's house brand; don't shop when you are hungry; don't trust the signs; don't rush." She told the members to 'take the pains to look and you will find holes through which your money leaks'. She urged them to put the brakes on inflation. Mrs. Elgin Johnston opened her home to the group. The meet- ing opened with the president, Mrs. Russell McGuire, in charge of the Opening Ode and repeating of the Collect. Minutes were read by the secretary, Mrs. George Fisher, and roll call was answer- ed by the members naming their beefs about living conditions to- day. A panel discussion took place on the beefs aired by the la- dies. The auction sale will be held August 8 at the hall. Anyone in the community having articles to donate that they wish to be col- lected, is asked to telephone 357-, 2347, 357-2306 or 357-3648. As bills for repairs to the hall and a re- frigerator are higher than antici- pated, it is hoped the community will respond with the articles they no longer need. On August 16, the Whitechurch WI will spon- sor a craft display at Southamp- ton Museum. Janet Laidlaw, Karen and Nancy Quipp entertained by singing two songs, "Mansion Over the Hilltop" and "It's a Small World".
