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.
