Department of Finance, Ottawa, 14th February 1942. ,61 - —tea ---- The Free Advertiser! Again, we will devote a little space to try and educate "The Free Adver- tiser' 'which is very often a big prob- lem to a newspaper publisher. Adv- ertising space is the bread and butter of a newspaper, and if a publisher cannot sell this available space he :will find himself in a bad position. A newspaper cannot afford to give away its space any more than your Doctor can give you his professional services free, a Dentist fix your teeth, Jewel- ler repair your watch, cobbler repair your shoes, your plumber do your re- pair work, etc., all Free. We have the price of a good farm invested i.i equipment, have many financial ob- ligations to meet to keep going, be - Italian Prisoners of War fore we can claim a cent for our own wages, and to us it seems so strange how many people think we can give away our advertising space, less of even a small charge. Card of Thanks Memoriams, Etc. notices, are not news items, and ' no paper can run them free; concerts, entertainments and such functions where an admiss- ion charge is made comes under the same category; however, if patronage, is given us with posters or other'. printing, an announcement in our columns is qiute welcome, providing the admission price is not included, but if so, then it will be considered as advertising. Please do not expect too much from a local newspaper publisher. He can no more work and live on earth, pay his debts without money, and board in Heaven, than any other professional or tradesman. Please! Something To Try Yourself A Norton, Ilan., woman who has a very wide ecquaintance—knows twat, ly everybody in town, in fact—tried a novel stunt the other day. She wondered just how many folks would greet her if she did not speak to them first. She went to church and, much unlike her usual self, left her happy smile and "How -do -you -de" at home. ..nd not a soul but the preacher said as much as "Good morning" to her. Canadians consume about 29 pounds of butter per capita, the highest eon- sumption in the world and 10 pounds higher than the United States. This increased consumption has caused a drop in exports and an increase in imports, but some politicans look on- ly at the results, not the cause, and profess to see a decline of the dairy industry. Dairy production has gone ahead year after year, and the industry is ht a thoroughly sound con dition. TRY THIS ONE Mere is a suggestion for those who make a, practice of doing their buy- ing from the mail order houses: The next time you are' sending an order to a mail-order house insert half -a - dozen tickets for your church concert garden party or fowl supper, or, if it is the "off season" for the roregoing enclose a politely -worded note re- questing a donation to your church, school or society or some charity in which you are particularly interested etc, Then let us know of the graci- ous response you obtain. It will be a nice encouragement to local contrib- utors.—Exchange. To Our Creditors! Owing to heavy financial obligat- ions that we have to meet at present, we are obliged to send out an umber of accounts, which in most cases are small, yet they amount to a nice lit- tle sum when there are a number of thein. We trust the people will show their appreciation of the credit ex- tended by replying to our appeal. We have also given a local citizen a few for collection, who will in due time make a personal call for the amounts Owing. apse ort, TORYOMII 140.,0 The Local News The main aim of the weekly news- paper as the name implies, is to give news of its own district. It may have other aims, such as to give the mer- chants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public opinion through its editor- ials; but first of all it must give the Thursday, February 1 ? th, 1942: news. Some of this news is not ereilp- obtained and no editor can cover all without assistance, Especially to, this true when you have vieitora. Many of the ladies think that per- sonals are the most interesting read- ing in the whole paper. Your wieitort are usually glad to have their names appear, so send them. In, .0 anietimet people come In and give the impz i cion that they are asking a favor when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have beam spending a few days with them. Ne• person need feel that way about OP ing us news items for we are indesd glad to get them all.

A deep yellow filter recorded ing the white building, and great ECORDING home town history is a fascinating field for the amateur photographer. With your camera you can make a historical picture story of changes in the local scenes, and in time your album will be a treasure chest of people, places, and events. Sonie of the pic- tures may seem commonplace now, but they will become as interesting and valuable twenty to thirty years hence as those of the "Gay Nine- ties" are today: • Do you remember your town thirty years ago? Pi'rhaps the streets were gravel or dirt—now they are paved. The livery stable, blacksmith shop, and the general .store all played a prominent role in everyday life. Now the horse and carriage is an oddity, the blacksmith shop has given way to the garage, and the store that contained everything from mouse traps to coveralls, whose owner was both the postmaster and the sheriff, is relatively rare. Suppose you had a camera then and recorded all these subjects. You could now picture things as they are today and make up a wonder- ful album of comparison snapshots that would not only be enjoyed but envied by many. e The changes in the next thirty years will probably be lust as great and noticeable as those in the past. Many towns still have houses of "gingerbread" arclilte•rture, and e a definite spot in your historical. the sky in a dark tones, accentuat-- y enhanced the texture rendering.. other historical landmarks which are, soon to be replaced. New buildings::,. are being constructed, the street. car has already been replaced b7r buses in many localities. Styleea. change every year, skirts grow - longer or shorter, and our outdoor activities and sports are constantly changing. When planning your picture his- tory, select subjects which, in your judgment, are most typical of your town. Street scenes, , residences,, downtown buildings, present types. of automobiles, trains, airplanes,. and many other things contain ele-- nents that are modern today, but. .n ay he obsolete tomorrow. Take a number of good compari • on pictures. For example, take a.. hot of an old house which is being,- orn down, and then, later, take a.. napshot of the modern structure which replaced it, For variety in our album, try a number of un--• usual angle shots similar to ourllustration above. And don't forget•. light scenes of electric signs, light - d buildings, and the main street._ History is being made,. ade every day nd your camera is an ideal means;.. f recording it. You'll be surprise lf• t the changes made in a five- or en -year period. Things we see to - ay will be nothing but a memory n a short while, and the snapshots.:,. ou take now will have greater arta • realer appeal as time goes on, • 43 John van Guilder s s s s y ) e a 0 a t d y g 3
