Weekly editors Were warned
on Saturday that they may be
the last of their kind. .
Their president George Ellis,
editor and publisher of the Gode
rich Signal-Star suggested that
they might be amusing ana
chronisms in 50 years and dis
appear like the town criers who
preceded them.
Sixty Hour Week
Mr. Ellis gave his presidential
address to the Western Counties
Weekly Newspaper Association.
Members gathered at the Strat
ford Country Club from all over
Western Ontario for the fall
meeting or their fiftieth year.
“It is impossible to believe,”
he said with tongue in cheek,
“that society can continue to
produce men to be, weekly edit
ors, who - will work 60 hours a
week, be the town’s wailing-wall
and serve, on'dozens, of commit
tees.” • ' ,
“Let’s face it, we are the last
of a species. We’re quaint. Other
people take holidays, know their
children’s first names and amass
material goods at a steady rate.
But weekly editors take pills for,
their ideers, get blamed for
many things by irate subscribe
Local Hospital*
not have been bijilt, to provide
a certain proportion of- our bed
space for these unfortunate per
sons.
Two Major Problems
“Thd growth of our hospital
has placed two additional prob
lems for the board: First, if
we are to have the overcrowd
ing we have been experiencing
it will-be pdcessary to build ad
ditional bed space, and second
ly if we are able to obtain a
full complement of nurses then
we presently do not have sleep
ing space for them and will re
quire to buy or build a nurses’
residence to accommodate them.
'From government grants and
gifts, the board has accumulat
ed some monies earmarked for
expansion but not sufficient to
provide for both additional ward
space and residential accom
modation for nurses. The above
sets out some of the problems
faced by your Board. In other
words, „the more attractive our
hospital has become for patients,
the more problems there are for
the staff. Apparently, all hos
pitals have similar growing
pains and we are nbt alone in
facing these difficulties.
Major Surgery Not Feasible
• “The board has considered
the advisability of adding major
surgery to our facilities and af
ter serious consideration has de
cided that immediate action in
this connection is not feasible
for the following reasons.
“(a) Present accommodation
is so limited that addition of
more services would only in
crease the congestion.
“(b) The present staff is over
worked and incapable of under
taking additional work.
“(c) Additional qualified
staff is difficult to obtain and
at present we are below our
normal complement for the
services we now ^undertake.
“(d) When we undertake maj
or surgery in our hospital the
public must be prepared for
.deficits in our operational ac
count. Dp to the present our op
erational account has been run
ning about even as to income
and expenditure. With the ad
dition of surgical staff wc t do
not anticipate sufficient addition
al revenue to balance this cost.
The public generally through
contribution or tax rate will be
called upon to foot deficits in
the long run. °
“The above considerations have
forced the Board to a go slow
policy. Oh the other hand the
board is pleased that the med
ical profession in our community
has the progressive spirit so
necessary to the growth of your
hospital add in the' services it
may render, and it is not our
desire to discourage such en
terprise. We do ask the public
generally and the medical pro
fession in particular to boar
with us while wo work out an*
swers for the above problems.
We cannot promise tliCir im
mediate solution but will work
zlH.rtmdhr .inhibit.
ers and amass accounts receiv
able at an incredible rate.”
Fortunately, * he hoped there
was a • brighter future than the
one he had outlined. The 1956
census showed a great growth
in the population of towns. Look
ing ahead, he believed . that
“municipalities that are now
villages will be prosperous
tpwns. Places that are now mere
hamlets will be live villages.”
He hopes that the industrial
overflow from Toronto alone
will make a big contribution to
this region’s growth, and with
the growth will come larger and
better weekly newspapers.
Patterson Speaks
Tom Patterson, founder of the
Stratford Shakespearean Festi
val, told, the editors that the
1957 Festival season will be the
most exciting since 1953. He
said that ‘the Festival was 'a
success because of the strong
regional support “from the
people you represent.” They are
the people who turn out to per
formances in large numbers and who carry back home the
good reports of the plays.
' Don Southcott, .Exeter Times-
■_ Advocate, thanked Mr. Patter
son gnd said the Festival had* a
’s'trong regional effect. “It -has
’Stimulated drama groups
throughout the whole area,” he said. “We.will give you ail the
support we can.”
J. R. Chittick, vice-president
and sales manger,the Jvlidland
Free Press, discussed techniques
in selling more local advertis
ing. “Your advertiser should
know of the pulling power of
the press,” he said, “if an ad
vertiser spends $10 to win "a
customer, it may cost his com
petitor $20 to take him away.”
Elect Officers
A. S. (Tony) Mendell, Streets-
ville Review, was elected presi
dent to succeed Mr. Ellis. Vice-
president is George Tatham, of
Listowel Banner; secretary, J.
G. Dandsborough, ’Grand Valley

for the editors and their wives.’

See TV Changes
--Continued from Page 2
cording to Miss Moon, pnd some
may run four or five hours. “New
films will be premiered and
Broadway shows previewed on
TV . . A new principle of trans
mission, known as forward-scat
ter transmission, will bring live
telecasts from around the world,
including all the countries of Eu
rope.”
For some types of programs on
a closed circuit—such as Broad
way shows or a championship
prize fight—there may be fee-
TV in which the viewer would
put a coin in the slot of a ma
chine at home, to clear interfer
ence from the screen and enable
him to watch the program.
But it’s unlikely you will watch TV while driving your car, says
the Maclean’s article. It’s dan
gerous and, on tests already
made, interference is greatly
magnified. What’s more, some
parts of the United States have
already made it illegal.
