WEEKLY MEN MEET IN TORQNTO
Fatigue Was the Killer Here!
It's not an unusual story! Four young men were on
their way home and the driver was dead tired, And
what a prophetic phrase that is, A moment of semi.
consciousness and his car was onto the shoulder of the
road and then careening end over end to destruction.
The driver certainly was dead ,. with a fractured skull.
.Driving when you are over.tired amounts to criminal
negligence. You endanger not only your own life, but
the lives of your passengers and others •Ott the road.

There seems to be something
missing in this part of the country.
Despite depression talk and word of
unemployment, many centres , in
Western. Ontario are enjoying the
.greatest boom in their history.
Glancing through' the weekly pa-
pers from other towns which reach
our desk, the stories of .surging
ferprise all about us are outstanding.
The Exeter Times-Advocate

'niaking- for the spring, months. Clin-
' ion has recently seen the Opening of

building. Durham has found it
.
needless to Worry about the do-it-
now campaign, for that town's con-
traoors„plumbers and electricians
are SO', busy they can't take on any
more work. The story is the same
from 'dozens of communities.
, JTAtemployment has been show-
ing its ugly head in some of the larg-
er places, notably the car-manufac-•
tuning centres, but Ontario's towels
are' going ahead,deSpite tight money
and recession talk.
However, there seems to he a
lack of this spirit of enterprise in.
Wing-ham — and we simply can't
understand why, Our town con-
tains just as many energetic and
courageous people AS do our neigh-
Houring communities. It appears
unlikely that we are, by and large,
any poorer than average—but we're
all feeling- defeated:
if We are to suffer any major de-
feats then are likely to be at our own
hands. It's time to get i little fight-
ing spirit aroused instead of sitting
down to moan.
IVIeekly newspaper publishers,,
• their wives and members of their
staffs. will. gather a the King h:(1-
ward Hotel In Toronto on hriday
and Saturday' of this week for the'
annual convention of the Ontario
Weekly Newspapers Assodatiou, a
group which includes about 200 pub
lications .from towns and villages all
over the province.
The gathering provides a refresh-
ing respite for the average publisher,
• It does wonders for his self-esteem.
This year, for example, the lienten-
- ant governor of Ontario has grac-
iously consented to. address the ban-
quet on. Vriday evening, and many
other prominent civic and govern-
ment personalities will pay their re-
spects to the weekly press.
Working as he does in close con-
tact with the people he has known
for years on. end, and being-constant-
ly reminded of his shortcomings, the
average weekly editor is inclined to
become somewhat deflated about the
value of his work to the .conmannity

A GREAT MOTION'
PICTURE
Our thanks to Bill Young of
the Ilarriston theatre• for his invi-
tation to attend the opening of "The
Ten Commandments';'. it is a mag-
nificent production, one which we
would gladly see a second time, for
the picture is so filled with detail
that it is almost impossible to ab-
sorb all of them in. one sitting.
The color 'is breath-taking and
the movie has been produced in the
traditional DeMille fashion, with a
cast of thousands and meticulous at-
tention to historical accuracy. Vor
the sake of those who have not seen
"The Ten Commandments", we hope
it will be shown at the Lyeetim in.
Wingham some time in the future.
Tor the older. viewers the movie
brings back memories . of the goOd
old days of silent pictures: We can
recall seeing "The Ten Command-
ments" in 1925, produced, we be-
lieve, by the same man and If great
motion picture by any standards.
This latest edition also serves to re-
mind its that good movies arc still
tops in fine entertainment:
Most good weeklies have a con-
tinuing and gradual program of im-
provement which keeps them abreast
of the times. In our own case the
introduction of more pictures of
local people and events has p been a.
major step. There is ..a long jump
between a photograph and the pic-
ture you, see in your paper. rrom
the photo a printing plate must he
made. To handle this work quickly
and in adequate quantity The Ad-
vance-Times installed an electronic
engraving 11v/chine eighteen months
ago, at the chilling cost of almost
$7,000.00, We have not regretted
the decision for there has never been
keener interest in this newspaper, at
least' since-. we Iv ve, been g its
destinies. The interest' of which we
speak,is backed by the 'Solid laCtS Of
the largest, cirettlation, figur
