WHITECHURCH
WHY WE DON'T PRINT IT ALL
The Wingham Advance bas the re-
putation of being a booster, and it has
always been the aim. of the publisher
to boost every enterprise, be it of pri-
vate or public nature, of worthy char-
acter. Boosting is a game, however,
that more than one can play at. "T
boost you, you boost me," is a very
good motto, "We will boost togeth-
er," is another motto. The newspa-
per man can boost in a very effective
way, .even by not knocking when the
people want ltmi to "knock." He can
boost a , good deal more by comm
out flat-footed and upholding
good 'that is, in an individual or an
institution and leaving unsaid what he
knowsto be bad, But when this is
done there is no occasion for the per-
son or institution which is boosted to
assume that the newspaper has to do
it to hold its job with the public, as
that is indeed a serious mistake. A
newspaper 'man sees and hears more
things, bad or good, about individuals
and about the way ., institutions are
onducted than outer G�individuals, a
gossiping old maid not excepted, and
it is unfair to assume that itis be-
cause he does not know that he .does
not print it,

`•{ �., ` At the regular meeting of the Mor-
ris Council on Monday, Feb. 18th,, a
proposal was made t� have the Hydro
extended over the prairie road • just
south of the town- of Wingham in Or-
-der to place lights along this road.
This road is one of the most danger
ons pieces of road in the County of
Huron, account of its narrowness and
one side of the 'road has no guard
fence. Several automobiles have slid
over this eubankment already which
is both high and steep in plebes. :The
proposal apparently met with approv-
al which shows tnat althoughh the ma-
jority of our council come frim the
south they have the interest' of the
whole municipality at heart: Now if
East Wawanosh council and Wing -
ham town cotincil will co-operate
with Morris council it looks as though
the Prairie toad might have two or
three lights and be made a road of
safety to the travelling public at
