(By BENJAMIN BEVERIDGE) Them have been times when most' of us have regarded the weekly newspapers of Canada as a simple means of recording for local community. And since no one is quite so interested in early may- flowers and garden parties as the country editor, that is, all quite truee. But there is something more to the weekly journal than that, and during my summer travels back and forth across the continent, I have observed •a tre- mendous. revival in old-fashioned journalism, a kind of moral dedi- cation to the people,, which isnot always, a feature of newspapers on this continent. The weeklies of Western Canada seem more outspoken in this re- gard, although many eastern pap- ers, like The Canadian' -Statesman in Bowmanville, Ont, The Coast- guard in Shelburne, KB„ and the Loyalist in Saint John, N.B.,, that have been speaking out with 'a clear and sincere' voice for what they believe, be they right or wrong. In many cases, the daily newspaper has ceased to be the tribune to the people and it is 'good to see a rejuvenation of edit- orial courage among the small papers. • The west and the northwest are :new. Alberta and Saskatchewan celebrate their 50th anniversary next year, and the north is even newer. The weekly newspapers in this awakened region of prosperity are carrying all kinds of banners. They are . not hindered by amal- gamation, like some of Canada's dailies, • and they are responsible only to their own consciences. Even up in Yellowknife, N.W.T., the cares of the people have been espoused by the news of the north, a sincere though sometimes im- pulsive medium of expression. Occasionally an old Weekly dies in the west, but a new one takes its'place. Kitimat, B.C., has a new paper which may eventually be a daily, and in Grande Prairie, Alta., The,Herald Tribune is to come out twice weekly in February. In an- other two years, as the northwest continues to grow—with oil and gas and aluminum and agriculture —this paper will also be a daily. The editor is Jim Bowes, a native of Saskatchewan and former re- porter for the Montreal Standard and The London Free Press. • * * * The Dawson 'Creek Star is pub- lished on green paper. I asked the editor why he did it and he said: "Because it's easy on the eyes." And do you know, it is. That's why the blackboards in new schools are green. It's something our grandfathers didn't know. It is not generally known by the public that most newspapers In recent years have gone to much expense and trouble to make read- ing easier. They have bought new type and increased the amount of white space between the lines (all at a loss of advertising space), and they have concentrated more on make-up, using pictures and head- ings to break up monotonous col- umns of solid type. This has hap- pened without the reader's notice. But it keeps him from going to the eye doctor quite so soon. up on the Alaska Highway, the editor of the Alaska Highway News is a woman. Mrs. Margaret Murray of Fort St. John, B,C., is one of the real characters of the north. One of her curious posses- sions is an old Washington hand press, one with a story. It was the first printing press of the north, and on this archaic device. — one such as Benjamin Franklin used to launch the Satur- day Evening Post -the newspapers of the gold rush of 1898 were run off at a dollar a copy, This old press recorded one of the most exciting eras of the cont- inent. Some of Mark Twain's stories were first printed on it.. This very press printed Jack Lon- don's first. story when he was in Dawson City, and when Robert W. Service's "Cremation of Sam Magee" appeared in the White, horse Star, it was from this press. Some of Walt Whitman's verse came off it, too. ` Bad times eventually came to the Washington Press, and the printer who owned it lost it in a poker game. The first printing machine to travel over the Alaska highway, it is pathetic that having played so vital a part in such an historic epic it now lies broken and unsung outside Mrs. Murray's printing shop at Fo,'t St, John. In Edmonton, I had a chat with Ken McLeod, the author of numer- ous paper -backed novels. Ken is. one of the few Canadians who have made a living at freelance Entire Family Invited To Attend 1954 Western Fair Western Fair, September 13 to 18, at Londpn, has some mighty good things in store for you next week. We're proud of the slogan "Western Fair is a family law," for it is just that . something of interest for the whole family in exhibits in the buildings and the livestock barn, the midway, glit- tering and gorgeous grandstand performance, horse show and the largest and most up-to-date farm machinery show in Ontario. A thrill • show to end all thrill shows will be the extra special afternoon grandstand attraction Monday and Tuesday only, with harness racing each afternoon for the balance of the week, in ad- dition to a wonderful grandstand show. You'll 'also enjoy the square dance competitions and the daily band concerts. The flower show will be specially attractive, Patty Conklin's Midway wili.be back, featuring the famous "Danc- ing Water • Show".

Remember, a day at Western Fair beats two days, anywhere, writing in Canada. He admits that people ask him why he doesn't write something more last- ing than "A Body for a Blonde"' (with the usual bosomy cover). But short of Costain, Hemming - way and others in thatleague, what is being written today ,that will live anyway? Mr. McLeod is a bread-and-butter writer. So was Balzac. So is Mac'kinlay Kantor. A novel written for soft .cover,• publication brings anywhere, from $400 to $1000 in cash to the author and royalties on every copy after a few thousand. 'Chinese Room", a rather notorious- paper -back of five years ago, sold for $10,000;;. and royalties started with the first' copy sold. Perhaps Ken McLeod. wants to write one of those $10,000 novels (Avon Books alone sell' more than 20,000,000 soft covers a year!) and then he'll write the great Canadian novel. Let us hope he will be more successful in this ambition - than "Balzac was in his great endeavor.
