- .RATHER THAN giving the . town's new,

- oters, of ;the idea were fearing„ it `seems that
• the town council is doing just the opposite.
No matter how you look, at it, the organiz-

• ed into suppOrting the pool, on rather short
. notice.
•Not fora minute suggesting that the impet-.
us of the swim pool campaign should be slow-
ed.--it seems to us -the wise part of valour to go
at it In a business-like *ay.
The, two councillors who formed a. special,.
committee to inquire into- the state of things
financial regarding the pool, are successful bus-
- " jnessmen in their, own right. • They were eledted
to council for the purpose of serving the town to
to .the best of their ability.
It seems only fair that their efforts to keep,

should be appreciated by those who elected,

ON THE OCCASION of National Newspaper
Week, this paper, along with 700 others 'in the_

leaders. It is unfortunate that space will not • -

We did find room in. the "le•ttersr Oolumn"
for the prime Minister's. message. •
Before his resignation as Leader of the .01374
Position, George A. Drew- said: "The fact that.
one-third of Canada'd-Poptilation reads weekly
newspapers. is proof that this important medium
of communication is' continuing to grow and
prosper. Our weekly newspapers. .ere an im-
portant part of the free press of .this country,
and as such they are. .continuing •to make a

to the successful functioning of our deinocratic

and municipal levels."

"National Newspaper Week"
provides us with an opportunity
to reflect on 'the importance of
our press to our national life and
to each one of us as individuals,
A - free, vigorous press is essent-
ial to the working of our Canad-
ian democracy, It is . not mere
coincidence that ,the development
of responsible .government in Can,
Oa has closely paralleled the,
growth of a daily and weekly press
in which the issues of the day have
been debated and recorded.
I am convinced that • true free-
dom - of the press, together with
the practice of responsible journal-
ism, are among the best forms of
insurance against international
hatreds and all -their evil come,
quences.
I send my best wishes to the
press . of Canada and particularly
to the weeklies who work so faith-
fully to keep the residents of the
smaller centres and of the..countriee
side informed of matters of public
interest.
LOUIS S. ST. LAURENT
Prime Minister •'
WHILE THE NUMBER of daily newspapers
diminishes, by reason of amalgamation, failure .
on the' acting of rising costs on an already
costly operation, weekly newspapers across Can-
ada hold a place, of increasing importance. This
is not only through their local news coverage,
which is almost exclusive, but by their ability to
offer advertisers a local market at a more intim-
ate level than any other medium can hope to do.
The small' weekly papers have' a neighbor-
liness which is denied to the metropolitan dailies.
Here even• routine news 'is worth 'while and even
GOOD news deserves,a headline. If John Smith
-is robbed he gets a special mention not only on
his own account but because his neighbour may
stand to lose to the same offender and a warn-
ing is in line. •If Bill Jones talks to the Rotary
Club his speech is recorded as worth reporting.
The local meetings news carry names and names
are news not only to the immediate locality-
but to the many and far pang subscribers who
will read the home town paper till they die.
But if you read the weeklies more :carefully
you will find an editorial policy which supports
all the causes which tie themselves in with
better living in communities large and small:
Safety Campaigns, National Fire Protection,
Save the Forests, Prevent Drowning, to name
only a few. All these are national in scope and
all are local in immediate application. Some 700
weekly newspapers carry these and are read in

A week ago-Miss Brooks and her landlady
favoured with a five-minute discussion about,
Canadian bacon. (That's what they call back %
bacon in the U.S.A. Apparently their fat hogs
raised on a rich diet ,of Iowa corn do, not develop
as good back bacon at Canadian farm hogs do).
Last - Saturday we heard Perry Como and
suddenly realiZed that a song extolling the virtr

songstress sang it for him: Gisele IV,IcKenzie.

A mistake made recently by a
professional Pickpocket in Brazil
led to a change in his occupation.
The story was told by the man
himself in a public meeting.
"One day", he said, "I saw a
man in a crowd, who had a definite
bulge in his hip-pocket. "A fat
purse," thought I, "aria; soon the
contents of his pocket' were in
mine," The nature of the loot
was not discovered until the thief
reached' his room. Upon finding
it was only a book, he threw it
aside.. Later his curiosity aroused,
he opened it and began to read
its pages. The book was a copy of
the New Testament, Before many
days he had become a Christian,
sOne person in the meeting list-
ened with, particular interest to
the man's testimony.. He was a
voluntary eolporteur of the Bible
Society. After the service he.' con-
tacted this speaker and asked per-
mission to •examine the Book. He
discovered, that it was the very
copy he had carried for many
years and the one he had con-
sidered lost.
Understandably the speaker is
no longer a pickpocket,

In 1941 Detroit had, 47 fatal ac-
cidents and 1,774 injuries caused
by D.W.I.'s (Driving While Intoxi-
cated). The following year the
figures were almost the same.
Then the Traffic Courts really
swung into action, They began to
follow one'strict rule: jail for the
man or woman convicted of drunk
driving. No exceptions!' A falling
off in deaths and accidents result-
ed sharply and dramatically. •
During the laSt five years in De-
troit there has never been a year
in which more thah five people
were killed or more than 150 in-
jured in D.W.I, accidents.
Judge Watts, who has kept after
Detroit's drunk drivers with un-
relenting fury since the campaign
began, declared recently, "EVery-
one in Detroit gets the same treat-
ment whether they are factory
owners or factory sweepers. This
policy has been largely responsible
for the 'great reduction in. traffic
fatalities and injuries." ,
One strict rule-jail for convict-
ed - Detroit shows the
way.
