Zurich Citizens News, 1968-11-14, Page 2PAGE TWO ZURICH CITIZONS NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 196$ l Gemrne4 Ufa NO If Postage increase In somewhat typical manner, the post office department at Ottawa has issued a commemorative stamp bear- ing the portrait of Henry Bourassa, founder of Le Devoir; and in the same breath, has announced its in- tention to adjust mailing rates of sec- ond class matter. Most papers are registered as sec- ond class mail, and it must be ad- mitted in all fairness that the post office revenue for handling such mail is not excessive. In fact, the distri- bution of newspapers has added to the annual deficit of the department. However, what must not be over- looked is the fact that newspapers are a means of mass communication, and are requisite and necessary for the general good of the country. This was recognized long ago by gov- ernments, and there is no reason to suggest that the picture has changed, despite the inroads of television. The CBC for instance, costs each and every Canadian about seven dollars a year, and it matters not a whit whether one has a television set or not, nor does it matter whether one lives near the American border and never turns his set to a Canadian program. A recent survey in Lambton Coun- ty indicates that only 3O': of the homes subscribe to a daily newspaper but more than 70% do have one of the county's weeklies. The weekly newspaper is recognized as the ideal communication medium for rural communities whose people are closely knit into the fibre of community activity. It would be regretable, in Tact non- sensical, to price the weeklies out of Canadian homes by raising the pos- tal rates to the point where a sub- scriber would debate about renewing his subscription. Some revision may be necessary; some tightening of the general mailing rules may be desira- ble from the post office viewpoint, but let the rate revision be reason- able. A postal deficit on newspapers and magazines can be classed as a subsidy if so desired, but the prin- ciple is the same as subsidy on hogs, grain and other commodities they are necessities, and so are the weekly and daily papers of our coun- try.— (North Kent Leader) Only Two o f Each The staff members of a weekly newspaper are not unique in their physical components. Each one comes equipped with one pair of eyes and one pair of ears. And like everybody else, has no special powers to see and head all. This would seem to be contrary to public belief.' In the process of gathering news items, every effort is given to cover- ing the activities of the village as thoroughly as possible, through the co-operation of various organizations, etc. But it is an impossibility to be on top of everything. This is where you, the reading public, come in. MIL Many times we hear readers say: "I didn't see anything about this in the paper". Here is where you can help to make your paper the best source of local news. If an interest- ing item comes to your attention, telephone it in to your weekly. If you know of an event about to take place, Iet us know about it. In a town the size of this, there is much to be reported of local interest. The weekly newspaper provides a service to the community not to be found elsewhere. This is your newspaper. Help us to make it the best possible by keep- ing us informed.

Who does that Oriental over - aged juvenile delinquent think she's fooling? Her outward behavior is hard- ly befitting her shy retiring inner self, to put it mildly. Here's a young lady who has already been a wife to two men, a mistress to a third while still married to her second husband, has produced some of the most distasteful movies ever made (one is reported to have starred 365 bare behinds!), had her own bare backside (and unclothed frontside) photographed for the cover of a Beatle record album and is currently involved in some dope charges. And she wants us to believe she is as pure as the driven snow? And Gentle John? He's so shy he doesn't think it is nec- essary to wed the mother of his unborn child just to give the poor little waif a name. Free love is his motto, trademark of this "basically very shy" man., When I examine a pair like this in the light of the publicity they receive, I'm aware that newspapers always tend to re- port the sensational secrets of their featured stars. I'm also sure that much of the idiotic drivle we read in movie maga- zines about the singers and ac- tors who make the big-time, is discreetly doctored to sound dramatic and exciting. It's really too bad, though, when writers don't have to dream up the scandal anymore, Usually it means the stars have slipped over that imaginable line between make-believe and reality. They have begun to lose their air of mystery their managers have worked so hard to achieve, and have started on the slimy slide to obscurity through their own stupidity. When they finally understand they have frittered away that necessary thing of life — like self-respect, dean reputation, Letters To The Editor Grimsby, Ontario, November, 7, 1968 The Publisher, Zurich Citizens News, Zurich, Ontario. Dear Sir: My daily business takes me to quite a number of towns, both small and large, but I have yet to come across a Chamber of Commerce with the drive, the interest in their fellow citi- zens, the sense •of humor and capacity for hard work that the Zurich Chamber of ,Commerce has. I do hope that all who read your newspaper will agree with me and, perhaps, back the or- ganization in any other work they may undertake. Sincerely, Eric Maddron. Ed. Note: Mr. Maddron has taken an active part in assisting the Chamber of Commerce to procure the services of a den- tist, and has become quite fa- miliar with rthiS area. By Shirley Keller love, home, children—there is just no way back. It's sad. At one point in his career, Lennon was in the enviable position to lead millions of young music lovers. Ile and his three companions had every- thing going for them plus some of the extras that even the su- per -stars never experience. And T *ill always woncler what would have happened if those same Beatles had turned out to be an upstanding group of ordinary young men who put priority on the important things. What a force they could have been toward the ul- timate happiness of many teen- agers who instead, may have followed their idols into a life- time of regrets. Maybe Lennon is learning what it means to have money and a burned -out soul. Could be that he and his little woman would like to convince a cold world that they're not really such bad people after all. I'm afraid all those brash Beatle beats have deafened all sympathetic ears. --0 Wedding STEPHENSON—RONEY Joan Dianne Roney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell C. Roney, RR 3, Mitchell, and Keith.
