First Of A Series u Weekly Newspaperr
THIS WEEK we begin a series of
seven editorials on how and why a week-
ly newspaper .such,as the .Clinton News-
Record functions. The series we are
using appeared originally in the .Surrey
(B.C.) Leader.
The News -Record, like every other
weekly newspaper, is a business organ-
ization providing a public service for a
profit. This is an accepted definition
of a weekly..
In the 19th century the publication
of weekly newspapers were the happy
hunting grounds of unsuccessful politic-
ians, long-haired artists and earnest
souls striving for the uplift of mankind.
The editorial department was usually
entrusted to tramp printers.- These lat-
ter were marvellous craftsmen, when
they were sober.
The infant mortality rate amongst
weekly newspapers was tremendous.
In modern times the publishing of a
weekly has become a business, many
with a highly developed sense of public
The Comm
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION to
the life of the -cominnunity is a healthy
thing for any person. The Talmudic
principle is: "A man should perform
a righteous deed, even if he does so.
only for ulterior motives, because he
will thus learn to do the right for its
own sake."
According to the most recent
monthly letter of the Royal, Bank of
Canada, it is through action that we
become part of the setting around us
and participate in the transaction of
living. Socrates put it that we should
give according to one's power, and
Longfellow said it this way, "Give what
you have. To someone, it may be better
than you dare to think."
This spirit of community living is
never so evident as it is in a small
town, for there the people know one
another, and they know what sacrifice
is necessary by theirneighbour for him
to contribute toward some enterprise.
With this knowledge also comes the -
knowing that a certain project is neces-
sary for the community.
Clinton is in the process of raising
money to pay for a good share of the
new wing being built at the hospital.
Each Clintonian hopes that his contri-•
bution will come for some good cause—
possibly with a selfish angle. Maybe he
will need that hospital some day. But
if the selfish motive is there, so also is
the good neighbour motive, for certainly
some of his neighbours will need that
respectableservice, The printers are resp
members of society. Weeklies are now
run on a business -like basis.
A paper must make a profit or it
must be subsidized. .And no subsidized
paper is free. The only way to have a
free press is to have independent jour-
nals which have to look neither to state
nor to political party for financial as-
sistance. Therefore, to be independent,
a paper must be a business organization
making a profit.
The weekly is dedicated to public
service, in particluar, service to the com-
munity it serves. In every commun-
ity in Canada, all worthwhile commun-
ity efforts receive columns of publicity
and editorial support, ,A weekly editor
usually automatically serves as a
publicity committee member for every
campaign, be it Victory bonds, Red
Cross, salvage or community chest.
Therefore a weekly newspaper is a
business organization providing a• public
service for a profit.
unity Spirit
hospital, and the added service it can
give,
Perhaps the greatest contribution
being, made in this community volun-
tarily is that of the many people who
are contributing toward the building
and upkeep through years to come of
the new Calvin Christian School. Here
is a group of folk, mostly new to the
community, who are building a school
in which their children can receive the
type of instruction they wish for them,
and they are doing it without any
grants, or taxpayer money of any sort.
For those who . will voluntarily give
of their moneys and of their skills to
create such an establishment, we have
nothing but praise. Many of the rest
of us are losing control over the educa-
tion of our young folk—it is placed in-
stead with the bureaucracy which runs
provincial and federal projects, and the
personal touch is sadly lacking.
The voluntary contribution toward
anything; whether it be a school, most
certainly if it be a church, a public
playground, or a banking institution,
makes that project much dearer to those
who have contributed.
It is .a wonderful way to let people
belong. There is no better way to banish
the blues or to counteract- the poison
of world crises than by engaging in
thoughtful work with and for others.
The result is in self-fulfilment, which,
notes the Royal Bank letter, is on a
higher plane than self-interest,
Pot Pourri From The Home Cook Book
YOU WILL RECALL that just
before the summer holidays which the
staff of the News -Record enjoyed (while
all readers worried and fussed about
what might have been going on that
they hadn't heard about) that we print-
ed some bits and pieces from an old
cook book that one of Clinton's citizens
had come upon at an auction sale.
Well there are a few more gems
of wisdom which may come in handy.
For instance, under the heading cure
for boils, the book refers to "Isaiah 38:
21, Go thou and do likewise." This
sounds rather forbidding and obscure,
so we looked up the passage and found
that the verse is: For Isaiah had said,
"Let them take a lump of figs, and lay
it for a plaster upon the boil, and he
shall recover."
Think of this the next time you're
tempted to buy some new-fangled
remedy for boils. Of course the problem
of finding a lump of figs might be even
greater than in finding the new-fangled
remedy.
For ring worm the book suggests
putting a penny into a tablespoon of
vinegar; let it remain until it becomes
green, and wash the ring worm with
this two or three times a day"
To stop bleeding: "A handful of
flour bound oti the cut,"
For toothache: "Of powdered alum
and fine salt, equal quantities; apply to
the tooth and it will give speedy relief,"
To restore from strokeof lightning:
"Shower with cold water for two hours;
if the patient does not show signs of
life, put salt in the water, and con-
tinue to shower an hour longer."
In amongst all the recipes for mak-
ing up shirt bosoms, • furniture polish,
preventing red ants, preserving eggs,
cleaning hairbrushes and a "receipt for
cold" we find directions for making
"Grandmother's Salve far Everything,"
and feel that we would be holding back
priceless information if we did not pass
it along. Here goes:
"Two pounds of rosin and half a tea-
cup of mutton tallow after it is hard,
half as much beeswax and half an ounce
of camphor gum; put all together into
an old kettle, and let it dissolve and just
come to a boil, stirring with a stick;
then take half a pail of warm water,
just the chill off, pour it in and stir
carefully until you can get your hands
around it. Two persons much each.
take half and pull like candy "until quite
white and brittle; put a little grease on
your hands to prevent sticking, and keep
them wet all the time. ' Wet the table,
roll out the salve, and cut it with a
knife. Keep it in a cool place." It was
a lady named Mrs. Gardner who contrib-
uted this, and she must have known
what she was talking about for she also
sent along a remedy for cholera and
for "a fig paste for constipation which
would keep, when covered, for a year."
Bear in mind also that this book
printed in 1$77 was already in its' 50th
edition, and had been compiled by ladies
of Toronto and chief cities and towns in
Canada.
