This will likely be the most exciting • summer ever for. Most Canadians. Visitors -from, other count - tries and other provinces will be joining in our Centennial celebrations and our highways will be busier than ever lead- ing travellers from one community toi•••another. For most visitors routes will be. unfamiliar ones. Roads which we use every day or week and to us hold no "mysteries""may some- times be confusing or difficult to a stranger struggling to re- member directions or becoming tired after a long day's drive. Simple driving courtesy .and a • strict "toeing of the line" on safe driving habits could make the trip, easier and safer for our visitors.... and ourselves. A. real tvay that every driver could put` warmth in his welcome to our visitors is to drive safely and courtiously on our highways' this summer. Who knows, if we all .practice this for silt months, it could become so automatic that the annual slaughter on our highways' might lessen instead of limb each year. Needless cutting in and out by drivers familiar with a road can confuse another driver searching for road signs; tailgating can Lead to an accident if a vis- itor is unsure of the way. And, really, did belligerent horn - honking ever move traffic any quicker? * * * It might be a wonderful way of welcoming visitors if we made an effort to keep track -of the various -happenings in aur ergo daring, the suffinerand, fall months.

Confronted with instant news in pictures via TV on the one harid, and . the affluent society • of liesure on the • other, it :has been said that newspapers are going out of style. , The fact it, that only certain kinds of newspapers are going out of style. The kind of newspapers that are going out of style — and out of business - are the ones that do not meet the standards of quality .demanded by today's better educated and more in- formed readers. When the New, York World.. Journal Tri'liune folded . its de- mise sent shock waves rolling through thenewspaper business all over North America. But before the general public• concludes that something must be wrong with . riewspapers if the biggest evening newspaper in America's biggest city goes under, the public should be told that the World Journal Tribune .simply, did not deserve to sur- vive. - It ,did not deserve to survive because it was not intelligently edited, well laid out, brightly written or neatly printed. It did not provide, the quality pro- duct that todtay's discriminating newspaper readers demand.- •' But in addition, • the paper faced severe competition from suburban dailies and • carried expensive union agreements. Labor costs were expected -to rise 25 per cent. in the next three years. No newspaper can continue to `publish if its ex- penses exceed its advertising and circulation revenue, The World Journal .Tribune was itself a ;merger of three other papers, which in turn were mergers of Others- `Thirty five years ago; New York had 12 daily newspapers. Today it has three — two in the morning and one, in the evening field. Despite • the growth of small- er cities throughout Canada and the U.S., with the result that many weekly newspapers have. stepped up to daily publication, there are today, fewer. dailies than 50 years ago. The reason, of course, is the reduction of papers in the com- petitive cities.•In.city after city, single dailies are now published where there was once two, three and even foul daily newspapers, The single remaining dailies are; however, much better news- paliers. Because they are heal- thier businesses, they can pay their staff better, .spend more on gathering news and features and generally do ,a better job in informing their readers while serving a medium for their adivertisers. This is no defense of monop- ely -- because a so-called mo- nopoly can be either bad or good for the community. But the fact/ is that a comununity will very often be better ser- ved by one newspaper than by four Or five. A singular exceptio • to this is the retaarkable. sititation in Toronto, where•three very fine' daily newspapers, all 'Tillie Suc- cessful and prosperous, pro- vide their r,'o>Siniunity with very- ing views and positions. The result is a continuing dialogue and debate which has enriched life in Ontario's capital city. 'he. rittost;,, significant; growth inlati?slieWap.apet brzgness, in the j'ud'gement of many PO- Ushers, air!Iishers, is touring in the popu- lous 41ttbUfban at'eaS Sdrround- ing , ottictt larile t delitres. • The big dailies "downtown" mutt, ededeftrate their heftoft tltd Majo , evetite which ht. tetrest all;, 4tr nearly all their readers. There's no room for the equally significant, but more personal, news on • the community level affecting your schools, local councils, police and, other close -to -home matters. The wave of future growth is to the surburbs around our greatest cities; it is in these areas that tomorrow's newspap- er industry will be shaped. But what the World Journal Tribune collapse really proves is that a newspaper must have something to say to survive. It must have a point of view and must express it well. It must have a role in life and must perform it effectively. Finally; it must be forever testing and challenging its own virtues and positions, willing to • abandon those which have lost their pur- pose in favor of those which will better serve our society' to- day.

Today it has three — two in the morning and one, in the evening field. Despite • the growth of small- er cities throughout Canada and the U.S., with the result that many weekly newspapers have. stepped up to daily publication, there are today, fewer. dailies than 50 years ago. The reason, of course, is the reduction of papers in the com- petitive cities.•In.city after city, single dailies are now published where there was once two, three and even foul daily newspapers, The single remaining dailies are; however, much better news- paliers. Because they are heal- thier businesses, they can pay their staff better, .spend more on gathering news and features and generally do ,a better job in informing their readers while serving a medium for their adivertisers. This is no defense of monop- ely -- because a so-called mo- nopoly can be either bad or good for the community. But the fact/ is that a comununity will very often be better ser- ved by one newspaper than by four Or five. A singular exceptio • to this is the retaarkable. sititation in Toronto, where•three very fine' daily newspapers, all 'Tillie Suc- cessful and prosperous, pro- vide their r,'o>Siniunity with very- ing views and positions. The result is a continuing dialogue and debate which has enriched life in Ontario's capital city.

There's no room for the equally significant, but more personal, news on • the community level affecting your schools, local councils, police and, other close -to -home matters. The wave of future growth is to the surburbs around our greatest cities; it is in these areas that tomorrow's newspap- er industry will be shaped. But what the World Journal Tribune collapse really proves is that a newspaper must have something to say to survive. It must have a point of view and must express it well. It must have a role in life and must perform it effectively. Finally; it must be forever testing and challenging its own virtues and positions, willing to • abandon those which have lost their pur- pose in favor of those which will better serve our society' to- day.
