There probably is not much doubt about it either. Weekly news- paper people are odd because the 'weekly newspaper' business is an odd business. National Weekly Newspaper Week which this year is the week of Octo- ber 1 -8, provides an excellent op- portunity to examine into this odd weekly business. • If weekly people are odd people and the business they serve is odd business, it is because its many-sided character, the variety of demands it makes, results in it being so. In the first place, a weekly news- paper is a public servant, reporting the news and views of itscommunity so that people may live together in harmony and govern themselves in- telligently in a free democracy: 'A weekly newspaper, secondly, is a community market place. Through ean Bros., PubliShet4 Member of Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association its advertisements buyers and sellers meet quickly and_economically. A weekly newspaper, also, through its counsel given publicly on its edi- torial page, attempts to support and strengthen every influence for good. Fourthly, and by no means the least, it is a manufacturing industry and a retail business. Not only does it,produce the leading local news and' advertising medium, but it sells that newspaper at retail by mail order and through stores. On top of this, it serves the 'printing needs of local businesses and individuals at prices competitive with the big city print- ing plants. It is a many-sided enterprise and weekly newspaper people have to be equally many-sided. But on' every side they try to serve you and your community first—as this weekly newspaper has been doing for more than ninety years. There Is a Local Responsibility During the period since he has ' been Attorney General of Ontario, Hon. A. Kelso Roberts has spear- , beaded a vigorous campaign to cut down the traffic toll in this Province. While the extent of the improvement • throughout the Province generally may be in doubt, it is known that in- sofar as provincial highways are. concerned, fatalities on them during the ten months of the campaign were reduced by 14 per cent, as compared with the same period in 1955. While this is a substantial achieve- ment, the death rate is still high— • too high. Nearly two persons are killed every day on provincial high- ways; another dies on the roads with- in towns or cities in the same period. "On the average, one able-bodied person dies on the road of Ontario by violent means every eight-hour working shift," the Attorney Gen- eral has said. ‘, The Attorney General's Depart- ment, Provincial Police, the Depart- ment of Highways and such organ- izations as the -Ontario Safety League, have been and are continu- ing to promote the kind of driving that will reduce highway accidents. The police have, and will continue. to curb the kind of driving that ends in a death. These efforts are making the progress noted on provincial, highways. But what about local traffic fatalities? The Attorney General has a sug- gestion. He thinks, that the estab- lishment of local safety councils in each local municipality would have a beneficial effect in cutting down motor manslaughter at the local level. ' • Ontario has 970 municipalities— cities, towns and villages where traf- fic safety is of concern. "We would get at the root of this safety prob- lem," says Attorney G-eneral Rob- erts, "if every solitary municipality organized a safety council, put at its head a responsible citizen aware of the problems, and determined to solve them at the local level." Whatshould I do about SAVING MONEY? . hile saving is something you must do yourself, we can offer a few helpful sugges- tions. First, and prcibably the easiest method if you are strong-minded enough, is to,simply open a special savings account and use it regularly. Or, on a'smaller scale, you, can save fifty -cent pieces, dimes or even pennies. Or, you can use a piggy -bank as a handy accumulation point for all loose change. Actually, any method of saving is good ... but you must save regularly. If saving is your biggest problem, drop in and see your local Toronto -Dominion mana- ger. It may well be that he can help you save the money you need. ) • Car *om4' .1,„ • Pona1r4 nat4her, ,swogoi, ws Hospitalized and, MS' .Per :reeelYed $600 damage earlY FridaY 111,011).- ing when it bit a tele/gletkR::MPle beside No. 4 highway Q110 , rnue • north of Exeter.

(By JAMES SCOTT) This is the season for fall fairs —the school fairs, the country fairs, the big city fairs., So far I have managed to see quite a few' of them and there are more to come. But I doubt if I'll see any- thing this year which comes up to the first fair I saw. Now this was no ordinary fair. It was on an Indian Reservation just north of Peterborough, 'and they didn't call it a fair at all. They called it a Pow -Wow. In some ways it wasn't too inue h different from what we -see right around here. They had a band and a parade and pfizes for the best costumes. ,There were compe- titions and races and a beauty contest and politicians speaking. There were exhibits of home coOk- ing and baking and the like of that. Well, you say, what is so different here? 1 Well, for one thing, I have nev- er been to a fair where I saw a real, honest -to -gosh birch bark canoe entered in, the handicrafts section. In fact, I never saw a real, homemade birch bark canoe in my life before. It was smaller than I imagined, but light as a feather and beautifully proportion- ed. I never saw a -beauty contest either where all ,the entrants were Indian maidens—and, believe me, they deserved toThe in a beauty contest! Another thing I never saw at any fair before was a game of Indian baseball,, (I can't spell the Indian name for it, so I won't write it here), and I never saw a fall fair parade led by an Indian Chief, fol- lowed by Indian braves in full re- galia, including the medicine Man. In short, for the first time in my life, I thought I was seeing the true native Canadians, exhibiting their native prowess, skill and beauty. But hold on! While I was ad- miring the war dance done by the Chief and the Indian braves, some- body came up to me and said, "They don't do badly, do they? They had to get the Indian agent from another reservation to come down to teach it to them, and they only had two practices." Now that shook me, but not half so much, as the baseball game where the Indian Council took on a challenge team of white men, and the white men won! And then when a friend of mine bought a pair of sharkskin mocas- sins to take home and I found out afterwards they were made in a factory in Brockville, my disillu- sion was nearly complete. Then I began to think about it a bit more. Sure some of the ways of modern. man have come into the Reservation. The Chief is a woman and she is' elected by demo- cratic ballet, just •the same way that we elect our reeves and coun- cillors. That, surely is a right mingling of theancient tradilions and the tradition of freedom of Western culture. And about that war dance—the Indian has lived in peace with us for generations, why in the world should I expect him to remember how to do the war dance? As for the baseball game, well I watched it and if you want my honest opinion, I think the In- dians in a gesture of good sports- manship let those white men win! ' But there are some ancient things which remain. The day of the pow -wow it was pouring rain. It rained all morning and the start of the parade had to be postponed. Then a venerable lady of my ac- quaintance said, "The last time I wanted it to Stop raining, 1 shot it out of the sky." So she took down her shotgun and stepped out into the downpour and fired away. Believe it or not, in half an hour the skies bad cleared and the sun 4ione for the rest of the day. She had shot that rain right out of the sky! Try that one for size, any of you directors of fall fairs that have been rained out for the last five years! Much is said of the, early. worm. He must be the guy who gets the parking place before you do. Fro* I1.0'.**9:0.
