'ley Enterprise and Tara Leader,. The Paisley paper his been in the MacKenzie family name for the past. 81 years. , Production facilities ,for the Paisley, Chesley and Tara papers will be shared in the Chesley• plairt,joining a trend in weekly newspapering whereby many news- papers are becoming combined , operations. Eight of the county's weeklies °are now in thii category. The Wiarton Echo and the Southamp- ton Beacon are published by Har- old Wyonch of Wiarton. The above three mentioneci'are pub- lished by. Mr. Matheson. Kincar, dine News is one of three week- lies published by Robert Shrier of • . Goderich and the Lucknow Sentin- el and Teeswater News are'pub- lished hy'the local`publisher. Port 'Elgin, Mildmay and Walk- erton are the three rerdaining papers in Bruce County. Ten of the eleven papers in The. Bruce are printed at central printing plants at either Goderich or Elmvale by the photo offset ' method. Only One paper, The • Walkerton Herald-Times, contin- ues to' print the letterpress meth- od in their own shop. Each, week we drove our paper about 200 miles return trip to print at, this new plant. We were immediately sold on the advant-.. ages despite the driving time and expense. , However ,, it was not a Widely, accepted, mOve in'the industry 'arid many of our area publishers thought we had our head screwed on backwards in taking this course. It was not long before the trend started to more, and more of these. plants across Ontario. In just eight years, we now find a•situation where we could'prob- ably Count on our one hand the number of papers throughout the whole of south-western Ontar- io which are not printed idcent- ral printing plants. The Sentinel later changed' to the Signal-Star printing plant in Goderich, because of proximity , and continue to print there weekly In announcement of the sale of the Paisley Advocate , publisher MacKenzie made the 'following comments: • "TOday's change in ownership is dictated by developments in the newspaper and printing trade and the 'continuing increase, in cost of production. Another fac- tor, personally , is the, growing flood of ,paper work required in complying with demands of gov ti - ernment bureaus and the conse- quent bookkeeping," Publishing a. newspaper is like any, other business. Contintial increasing costs must, be met by more efficiency on the pait of publishers and hence the move to multiple ownership. Another; and equally important factor , is that increasing costs must be met with a higher price for the prod- uct and it is to be expected that subscription prices and advertis- ing rates will have to be increas-' ed from time to time to, keep pace with the spiral. This past week we read about increases in the cost Of newsprint , the minimum wage and hydrc; power, just to mention three things. This is the second in- crease for all three in less than a year. The Sentinel subscription price last increased 21,/2 years ago. • • Dear Sir, , At the Point Clark Beach Assoc-, iation last August , one of the' , members of the Huron Township Council spoke on 'the proposed Recreation Complex. A standing vote was taken and the answer. was a resounding "No" . We hear it is going to be an . accomplished fact , and that the Dear Sir: As a long time resident of Point Clark may I express some opinions in regard to the proposed construction-of a $450,000 Rec- reation complex .in Ripley. This $450,000 is an "'estimated" cost , and like all such estimates will alrdost certainly be substan- tially less than the final figure. "Estimates" have been ,quoted as to the percentage 'of the cost which-will be borne by the prov- -incial and federal governMents, but to my' knowledge there has been no firm commitment on their part. "Estimates" 'of the 'op- erating revenues and expenses from such a centre have been • made but actual experience in the operation of similar projects elsewhere show that they almost invariably operate at a loss, and consequently each succeeding year the municipal government must use taxpayers' dollars to make up the deficit. ern Ontario and the ' Northern States.

To the Editor, The Lucknow Sentinel, Lucknow'', Ontario. An indication of the trend to central printing plants , 'where each newspaper buys the printing service from an individual rather than attempt to install this very expensive equipment in his own plant, is indicated by the fact that eight years ago every paper in Bruce County had its own print- - ing press and in a tedious, inef-" ficient fashion, continued to • , grind the pages out week after week because at that time it was the only course open to most. In the summer of 1965, a new central printing plant opened in London with the latest in photo offset press equipment. When the Sentinel first investig- ated the plant in the summer holiday period they had about half a dozen papers coming in to print there add were in 'the market for more. By November 3rd of 1965, eight • years ago this month The Sent- inel printed its first issue in Lon- don.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Objects To Increase In Tax Burden 1274 Queen St. E. Sault Ste .,Marie , Ontario, P6A 2E8, November 3, 1973. -The Editor * Lucknow Sentinel, Lucknow, Ontario. Many will argue that the bene- fits derived from such a recrea - tion complex are well worth the additional taxes that will be re- quired to- construct and operate it. If the tax burden were to be' fairly distributed this might be a valid. argument , but,'who is going to pay almost two thirds of these taxes? An analysis of the assess- ment of Huron Township shows that this two thirds will come from the cottage owners, - people who own far less than two thirds of the assessed property in Htiken Town- ship, - people with whom the proponents of this scheme have little---O; no communication - the people who will benefit least from the recreational centre , and few of whom can exercise their franchise in munici- pal elections, because of the time - and travelling expenses involved, For these reasons, I, like many other cottage 'owners, object to' the increased 'tax burden such a recreational Complex will place upon ug. Yours sincerely , M. 7.' Armstrong, „ 11 Cedar Trail, Point. Clark, R. R, '1, Ripley, Ont. I am appealing to your sense"° justice and fairplay. You are descendants of a proud race, an honest race, A race, who came to Canada after persecution in th homeland. Your ancestors suffer ed untold hardships, carved their homes from the primeval forest,' because they believed in freedo justice and liberty for all, Are, you just to the cottagers? Put yourselves in our place, .1 feel certain you , descendants of these fearless immigrants, would react as we have done in right- eous indignation, Remember "The Golden Rule" , and let us work 'together, for good.
