Members of the newly formed Rock cliffe Flying Club, operating from Carp Airport were recently granted their charter from the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association to operate a private flying club, the first such ser vice club in Canada. The club is patterned after a similar organization at North Luffenham in England where early last summer a group of RCAF personnel met and de cided to do something about the high cost of private flying. Early last fall a group at Rockcliffe became interested in the possibilities of forming a similar organization in Canada and a meeting of all those interested in private flying was called. The response was overwhelming and, with the co-operation of Group Capt ain A. M. Jardine, commanding offic er of Station Rockcliffe and now hon orary president of the organization, the club was formed. Shares were purchased by the mem bers, an application w-as made for a charter, four light aircraft were pur chased with club funds and ground training classes commenced after regular air force duty hours. Flying Officer C. I. Adam, president and prime mover of the flying club said that the club will provide re creational flying and instruction for aircrew and hon-aircrew members at a minimum cost. According to secretary F/O Joan Seeley, one of the three women mem bers of the organization, membership is open1 to all Air Force personnel In the Ottawa area.

Term one year.—Excerpt from By-law No. 2, Wingham General Hos pital. John Strong, Secretary 12:19b READ FOR RESULTS The entire issue of the Royal Bank Monthly Letter for January was de voted to the subject of Canada’s weekly newspapers,. a searching look at the 963 weekly papers across the Dominion. Believing that many of the points mentioned in the letter apply not only* to the weekly newspaper, but equally to other small town business es, we reprint the following: Canada has 963 weekly newspapers, with a combined circulation of 2,475,- 1140. Some distribute a few huridred copies every week, while others have circulation in the thousands. Singly or taken together, these weekly news papers have a great influence on the thought and action of our people. Everybody, in a sense, lives two lives, one in a small and the other in a great circle. He belongs by birth or choice to various intimate groups, like his family, his neighbor hood, and his cluster of friends.. He is also a member of the whole so ciety of Canada, ahd he is living Within an interdependent system of nations. The weekly newspaper be longs to his It is not newspapers, ference in which newspapers fulfil their func tion. We are not without journals that debase public taste and warp public opinion. It can be said, how ever, that the majority of Canadian weekly newspapers conscientiously maintain the highest standards. , Every newspaper is at one and same time a business ' enterprise which the owner and his family pend for their daily bread and agency of mass communication bear ing public responsibility. In this land, where the press has freedom under the law, the weekly charge their public credit to themselves the country. Community The weekly newspaper has its home in the small, face-to-face communities. Its readers are not anonymous crea- tures in great impersonal aggrega tions, but the people in the next house, or the next street, known and under stood. The weekly newspaper knows that its great strength lies in getting itself read. To make itself widely readable the press must be free, and to be free it must be self-supporting financially. Much has been written about "free dom of the press”. Those who think of it without hysteria realize that this freedom is not an end in itself but a means to the end of a free society. Where men cannot freely convey their thoughts to one another, no other liberty is secure. A “kept” press has abdicated its function an$ its privi lege of informing truthfully and ad vising honestly. It can be said that on the whole the weekly press of Canada realizes jts**social responsibility, has main tained itself financially and economi cally so as to be able to withstand official or other interested pressure, and‘does its best to use its freedom actively in the interest of its com munity. The weekly newspaper, does not as a rule, lose itself in politicial or other controversy, but rather seeks to bridge the gap between the citizen and his government by directing its public service enthusiasm at positive bene fits to be sought. Improvement of health and living standards, preser vation and utilization of natural re sources, development of its neighbour hood according to the superior quali ties it has: these are domains in wjhich the weekly press makes its construc tive contributions. Revenue from advertising So that it may publish its news and opinion's free from the necessity to cater to some institutional or econom ic power, the weekly newspaper needs to sell advertising space. As a med ium, a good weekly paper provides a unique way of reaching the public quickly, with thorough coverage of the market, and with undoubted value for .the dollar cost. Advertising rates in the weeklies are low. They are based mainly, on steady use of good-sized space by local advertisers. You can buy an ad vertisement ten inches deep and two columns wide for an average of $11 per insertion. Some of the larger papers published weekly, twice week-, ly ahd three times a week, associated as the "Class A Newspapers of Can ada”, have been cultivating the nat ional advertising market, and 58 of them carried a total of 18 million lines of national display advertising last year, In the same period there ap peared in their columns more than 200 million lines of local retail adver tising, (In newspaper measurement there are about 14 "lines” to the inch, one column wide; so these totals rep resent more than 1,285,000 and 14,285,000 column-inches respectively.) Use of-the weekly newspapers for advertising has been growing Steadily, not only among local merchants but among concerns that advertise iri all parts of the country, These national advertisers are realizing that the good coverage given local tradesmen Would be a^Ohily good far tlacna. This Is not ta say that the weekly Local news In Canada, "news” is still largely local or regional in character, We in habit half a continent, and we cannot possibliy keep track of everything that is happening everywhere in it. Our interest in what is near and our preoccupation with what is familiar is not parochialism, but a necessity imposed upon us by conditions. The weekly newspaper, if the editor is a lively, inquisitive person, ministers ideally to our needs. People in small communities, whether rural or suburban, have keen interest in whatever they see that is out of the ordinary. The commuter walking home from the train wants to know why the men are digging up the street; he is interested in when the new school will be opened, how long it will provide necessary accommoda tion and on what facts and specula tion the council bases its judgment; he is curious about every change in his neighbourhood, whether it is big or little. There is, in fact, no incident so trifling that, in the hands of a competent weekly newspaper reporter, may not be developed into a news story—and frequently such stories make better reading than much of the “big” news crowding upon people through other media. Editors of weekly newspapers could, if their time permitted, add to the value of their papers by writing oc casional expository articles dealing wth issues of local importance'. Such exercise would, too, be a relief for the editor because it would allow him to sink his teeth into something bigger than routine. An example might be the issue of whether or not to add chemicals to the water supply; the weekly editor who clarified such a subject, telling his readers what the points are upon which arguments are based, would be highly appreciated. Given the bent for it, and skill in arranging his duties so as to allow time for it, the weekly editor will derive immense satisfaction from writing authoratively on local issues: and, if he does his job competently, he need not fear competition from any source, even including the high- priced syndicate columnists with their wide-ranging polemics. The editor Intelligently developed, the prestige latent in editing and publishing a weekly newspaper in Canada provides satisfactions that are attractive to men of ability. The independent owner of a weekly newspaper is well known and respect ed. He is the upholder of the values that count most in his community, the champion of every righteous cause, the proposer and supporter of changes that mark advancement over the old order of things, an anchor in time of storm and the troubler of the public conscience when it becomes too complacent. From him there issue 1 ideas, solutions and enthusiasm. These virtues add up to make a man who makes a newspaper that is read and digested for’ its goodness. Mr. W. Telfer, Managing-Director of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper As sociation, said tins in a letter to the Monthly Letter: “If someone asked me to list the virtues of the weekly press, I would give readership the .prime position. Any paper if it is to be influential must not only have subscribers—it must have subscribers who read it thoroughly. My own opin ions, and those of many readers and publishers with whom I have talked, make it appear that the weekly news papers have perhaps a better claim to. this criterion of worth than other newspapers.” Editorial page Newspapers commonly reserve one page as the mouthpiece of the editor and his readers: It is a the news an*d trends of discussed and analysed, debate clarifies issues. The editor who takes function sincerely is in position to influence his community for good by speaking frankly, now softly and now with -vigour,, on matters that merit- community thought and action. The weekly editor knows that big words do not guarantee big thoughts, and he is given to clear, simple writ ing, perhaps punctuated with homely sentences and expressions. His editor ials reflects the needs and thoughts of ordinary people. They draw on a rich ftmd of sanity and candour. Mr. Cranston remarked in his article: "There is not a Member of Parlia ment at Ottawa or in any of the pro vincial capitals who does not watch closely what his local weekly editors are saying.” Continued Importance Statistics are not very helpful in •judging a phenomenon with so many aspects as the press has, but from the figures available; it seems at least apparent that Canada has a vigorous weekly press, increasing in circula tion and advertising, The other judg ments, those of worth, are individual* things, affected by many aspects of place where the day are and where his editorial the publication: its community, it$ sort of readpr and its editor's ideals intelligent expertness and energy. ’ It can be said with certainty that it is through the Press that the people receive the information that enables them to change theii- ways of life for the better. When this information is given in the form^of balanced presen tation of basic facts, telling the funda mental purposes sought and outlining the alternatives, all spiced by skilful thought and observation* then the newspaper is living up to its high purpose. Such a newspaper demands that its editor shall have ability, character leadership and genuine skill in his craft. It is the sort of newspaper re ferred to by Lord Hewart, Lord Chief Justice of England, when he said; "Do we sal way? think as gratefully, or indeed as justly, as we might, of the amazing ability, diligence, care and learning; the wit, the humour, the skill and the versatility; the dutiful ness, the courage, the conscientous- ness, and the sheer hard work which go to the making of the best kind of newspaper?” What To Do In Case of Fire A leading cause of the more than 500 deaths by fire which occur in Can ada annually is ignorance of what to do when fire breaks out, according to the All Canada Insurance Federation, Officials of the Federation, which represents more than 200 fire, auto mobile and casualty insurance com panies, said some form of detection and alarm is of the utmost import ance if fire break? out. They recom mended the following measures: 1) —Know the location of your nearest fire alarm box, and how to operate it. 2) —Keep the telephone number of the fire department near the telephone at all times. 3) —Know how guisher—and the house at 4) —Never delay in alarm; it is the that count most. 5) —All windows and doors, except those used for escape, should be closed at first sign of fire. 6) —If smoke is smelled, even though no fire is seen, report to; fire de partment immediately. 7) —In .cold weather, don't stop to dress children before getting them out of the house; wrap them quick ly in a blanket if necessary. 8) —Make sure there is at least one exit ’in case of fire that is not bolted or barred by boxes or furniture. 9) —Leave baby sitters with complete instructions on what to do if fire breaks out. to use a fire extin- keep at least one in all times. turning in a fire first few minutes ’IIHItHHIIIHIHHHIHHnillllHIHIHIIIIHIIIHMIlHIIIHIlHmrr, at Mundya’ Frozen Foods Morton’s Turkey Pie........... 87c Morton’s Chicken Pie......... 37c Libby’s Frozen Peas .... 2 for 43c Canned Goods Specials Cudney Desert Pears, 15 oz. 19c Stokely’s Cream Corn. 15 oz.......,...................2 for 27o Blue and Gold Peas, 15 oz...........................a for 38o MUNDYS's 40 YEARS IN WINGHAM | iiiumHiiitiiitHiiHiiimiimiHiiiitiiiiiiiiiniiuutiHnmiitiF s MOTORS REPAIRS COMPLETE MOTOR RE WINDING up to 100 H.P. new motor guarantee on All complete RE-WINDS. .
