Are You Sorry? or Glad?
Due to rather crowded circumstances this week, we have not
included the Sugar and Spice column, which has appeared for
the past two issues.
We are rather interested to know just what our readers think
of this column; whether they enjoy a laugh with Bill Smiley—
or if they'd prefer to be without him.
Mr. Smiley is an easy-going war veteran, married and with
two children, who publishes the Wiarton Echo, the weekly paper
in Wiarton. He started the column, Sugar and Spice, originally
just for his own paper. Then some of his neighbours started
printing it in their papers, because it all suited very well with
their locality, and they found it fun to read.
Gradually the circulation of the column grew, with mare and
more weekly papers .across Ontario re -printing it. About this
time Bill got smart, and started charging money for the use of it.
At the present time about 30 weekly newspapers are publishing
the column, and most of them seem to find that their readers
are most unhappy when it is left out.
Actually, Mr. Smiley is very kind to his wife, and though
some of the things he says about her are not complimentary,
when you read between the lines, you can see that they really
get along together very well. In the meantime she gets the symp-
athy of all the readers of the column, and probably a good deal
more attention from her husband than most wives get.
Let us know if you missed it this week—in fact, let us know
if you're glad it wasn't in, too.

Dear Sirs:
First of all, I want to say that
I adnure the Zurich citizens, in
that they established their own
paper! I do believe the paper will
be a success.
In one of your earlier editions
you asked the readers to help the
baby grow up, I wonder whether
the "Mail Bag" would be big en-
ough to include a "Readers Write"
column. If feasible, I would like
to see such a column established
and the contributors encouraged
to use pen -names. My reason for
wanting to use pen -names are as
follows:
One, First of all, I thinks about
99 percent of the readers believe
in minding their own business but
also: will likely have an opinion or
two that they would like to ex-
press if they could do so without
drawing too much attention to
themselves.
Second, By using a pen -name,
you yourselves could "Dorothy
Dix" this column enough to make
it interesting and also to express
opinions of your own which might
not look good on your 'editorial
page. It would enable you to take
a kick at your neighbour's dog, or
even take a poke at Uncle John or
Lester B.
Third, Any opinions we would
want to express we naturally
would want them to do some good.
If someone expressed an opinion
with which we did not agree we
might label him "non compos men-
to" and think no more about it.
However, if it appeared under a
pen -name, we wouldn't know just
where it came from, and maybe
give it—a lot more thought.
If you think it possible and
would care to edit some of this
drivel you may do so under the
name of "Hillbilly,' the identity
of which I trust will be respected,
as I may at some future time wish
to tramp en the honourable toes
of some prominent people who
happen to have them sticking out
too far.
Wishing the CITIZENS NEWS
every success, I remain,
Yours very truly,
"HILLBILLY"
Dashwood, Ontario.
Note from Editor' Thank you
Hillbilly. Sitting in our editorial
chair, we offer up a fervent wish
for more and more people like you.
There is no editor interested in
his' publication who does not wish
for more and ever more letters—
either pro or con ....for of such
is the greater interest in his pub-
lication shown.
We will be glad to publish any
further comments from your pen
—or typewriter as the case may
be.
One word only to those who
(and we hope there are many)
might wish to send contributions
to the mailbag: We'll be glad to
use your pen name as you indica-
te --but, your letters to us must
be signed, so that we know from
whence they come. Also, we re-
serve the right to withhold any
letter or part of a letter which
might be termed libellous.
(Tha last little warning, is es-
pecially because, in the heat of
the corning election, some over -
fervent supporter of one or other
of the candidates might be car-
ried away).
