SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, ' JULY 6, 1967
An Invitation
At regular intervals we are approach-.
ed to express an editorial opinion on
some controversial topic.
Generally such suggestions . are° wel-
come particularly. when the 'approach
is one which could tend to enlighten .the
discussion and contribute to a' decision.
However, all too frequently the ap-
proach suggested as the one we should
take is farfrom being objective 'and
• rather than contributing to a decision,
is designed to advance a particular`
cause or add -to someone's ego.
So it is that we had particular inter-
est in a recent editorial invitation ex-
tended by the Goderich Signal Star
and inturn invite our readers to "be
our guest" on those occasions when in
their opinion something more need be
said.
"We are opportuned from time to
time to publish some real rip snorting
editorials, raise a little hell with _ this
or that, give so-and-so a hard time and
generally disturb the peace.
"There are times when a sharp prod
or an equally effective word of. fraise
Gan get good results when„ seemingly
nothing .else will do. There is a time
for hewing to the line and letting -the
chips fall where they may,and when
that time comes, the axe will swing. ,
"Meanwhile, those who clamor for
the "good, old hellfire and brimstone"
kind of editorial column tend to for-
get that the rabid partisan, emotional
t,.
to Speak Out
editorials of yesteryear would make us
laugh. ourselves sick today.
"Actually, we believe those who
want the "disturber" type of editorial
are looking -for amusement, "kicks" or
have a Vindictive desire to have ' some-
one else throw,their snowballs for them.
"Get in there and fight boy, we'll
hold your coat," they urge.
"Gentle Reader, Y,; welcome to the
fray. You are cordially invited to meta-
phorically roll up your sleeves, spit on
your hands and wade in with your Irish
up. Write your editorial. Sign_ your
name and address. -
' "If we think .it- is worth publishing,
it will appear in `the editorial column
under your name, and we will -hold
your .coat while you get in there, boy,
and fight, 'fight,. fight..
"Be our guest !"
Divorce
Former President Sukarno ' of Indo-
nesia wrote to his third wife saying :
"My divorcing you is' not because you
have done something wrong. My div-
orcing you is because we are pot suit-
able for each other. I hereby hand over
this letter of divorce." Now here is
one ,method of divorce that Canadian
reformers have ignored. (Peterbor-
ough Examiner) .
