Your Paper and the -Newsprint Situation "
thing we did decide to take a holiday, be-
cause we didn't have any newsprint anyway.
Our supplier tells us that the oar will not
arrive in Loudon until the,.week of August 20,
and that might be a long week. The news-
print must be ,cut and forwarded to Clinton
in time to get out a paper complete on Aug-
ust 23, Can it be done'? Well, your guess is
es good as ours. And if we happen to be a
little late that issue, please don't be too hard
on us. It's easy to see that if we haven't
the newsprint, we can't, print the paper.
All this leads up to one thing — are
Canadians going to stand by and let their
greatest natural resource be exported in vast
quantities without any thought for the "little
"fellows" like The NEWS -RECORD? It is
high time there was some guarantee to the
weekly newspapers of -Canada that their
legitimate—and, in actuality, very meagre, de-
mands on the newsprint supply should be
satisfied, at least to the extent of ordinary
usage. Millions of hardly -read newspapers—
vast editions of them—are thrown away every
day in Canada and the United States with
very little use being given them except a
quick glance -over. Visit any large 'city in
either country and you will understand what
we mean.
On the other hand, the weekly newspaper
plays a major role in the life of small com-
munities, Why should. it get a run-around
from the powers -that -be such as it is getting
right now? We hope the Canadian Weekly
Newspapers Association will express itself in
no uncertain terms at next week's 32nd an-
nual convention in Winnipeg, Man.
IF IT HAD NOT BEEN for a bit of con-
iving and some timely cooperation on the
rt of an old friend, The NEWS-RECORD
—
r at least about one-quarter of the weekly
sue—would not have appeared this week.
Following the publication of last week's
sue, when we discovered that we did. not
eve enough newsprint to see us through this
eek, we got on the telephone to see what
e could do.
With our regular suppliers, apparently we
ouldn't do much, for the head of the firm
rote back: "Unfortunately, we have not a
heat of this size on our floor at the present
e. The next car containing this size will
of be in Landon until the week of August
0th." And continuing, he remarked: "The
ewsprint situation is still very grim and we
o not seem able to accumulate any of it for
ur floor stock because each car seems to be
icked up by our good customers as soon as It
rrives in the city."
It Was then that the old friend in the
usiness came to our rescue. In a note, he
id he "finally found a friend that bad a
ittle 36x48 newsprint (our size) on hand that
a uses for a job endmanaged to get 1,000
beets from him." These sheets—enough to
pplement what was left over from last
eek—and give us enough for this week—•ar-
ived just yesterday and just in time for our
irst run of this week's paper.
Probably you know we are not publishing
the paper next week but are taking our annual
holiday, although the office and shop will be
open for other business. It's a pretty good
Order of the Maple
(A OWNA Editorial)
A STORY from London, England, recently
pointed up what we consided is a great lack
in our national life. The story listed the many
Britons in many fields of endeavor honored in
the King's birthday list. A great newspaper-
1man was knighted, a philosopher entered the
Order of Merit, a famed and beautiful ballerina
was made Commander of the Order of the
British Empire, a blind scholar was made a
Baron, and so on.
In each case, outstanding contribution to
the life of the nation or mankind generally
was being honored.
We, as a nation, as a people, have no way
of honoring outstanding effort within our coun-
try or without by our citizens or our friends.
Apart from several Army medals, more for long
service than anything else, we have not one
distinctive Canadian order, decoration or award.
True, we honored. Eisenhower by naming a
mountain for him. But we have only so many
mountains. We never, for instance, have hon-
ored Mr. Churchill, though no man is more
entitled to our esteem and tribute.
Once upon a time, British titles could honor
worthy Canadians, but the late Mr. King ended
that. Our gallantry decorations still are British,
awarded in the name of the King. We see no
reason for denying Canadians such honor, but
if titles are to be ruled out of the life of
Canadians, then there should be a substitute
available. If we want to be strictly Canadian,
then let us have our own ways and symbols
of honoring those who make outstanding con-
tributions to the welfare of man.
Here we are, continually telling ourselves
we are a great nation, (and we are), but we
haven't even a flag of our own, and not an
honor to bestow. There are many great men
end women in Canada, persons to whom the
country and the people owe a great debt. They
are not looking to be honored, but they should
be, if only as inspiration to others who follow.
Let us establish distinctive Canadian tri-
butes and show honor to those who have helped
to build us to where we are. We suggest the
Order of the Maple,
Some people will never learn because they
understand everything too soon.
Letters to Editor
Editor,
Clinton News -Record
DEAR SIR:
`CALL IN AND
SEE US ABOUT
I see by the paper .that Huron
County Council, at its June Ses-
sion, recommended the Provincial
Department of Highways to re-
surface No. 4 and No. 8 High-
ways. I just wonder what the
Hon. George Doucet would say
if .he happened to drive over,
from Clinton to Bayfield and got
there without ,calling off the car
in some of the holes, what he
would recommend the County
Council to do about it. They
should sweep their own doorstep
clean before advising others what
to do.
The proof of the pudding is what is left
on the plate.

KOREA —Korean armistice
truce seems to be on deadlock
line Many meetings and
speeches have not given a reason-
able result. Red delegates want
the United Nations forces to be
withdrawn from Korea ... Dean
Acheson, U.S. State Secretary of
State, said: "A United Nations
Force must remain in Korea un-
til a genuine peace has been
firmly established.

France to build five permanent
air bases and a permanent head-

Company with 'Prime Minister

Jordan — In the old city of
Jerusalem, King Abdullah of Jor-
dan, was shot by Mustafa Shukri
Ashs, a tailor's apprentice
This occurred when the King
went up the steps to the entrance
of the Agsa Mosque to make his
weekly visit to the shrine to hon-
or the Prophet and the memory
of his own father ... The reason
for the murder was that the King
was the Western Nations' most
reliable friend in the Middle
Bast..
EUROPE—France—Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower made progress in
creating a United Europe Defence
force ... He needs 25 divisions to
hold West Europe . . .He has
12 divisions now, and expects the
rest by next summer . Gen.
Eisenhower believes that Europe's
morale has improved in the last
six months . . ,.
Spain—Last week the U.S. gov-
ermnent, revealed a painful de-
cision that made good morale,
political and military sense .
Franco's Spain would be accepted
as an ally in the defence of Eur-
ope . Dean Acheson stated
that Spain's bases are essential to
the defence of Western Europe .. ,

WHO OWN 25 -CYCLE
CLOCKS OR FANS!
Unlike most of your 25 -cycle electrical appliances, portable electric
clocks and fans cannot be changed over to 60 -cycle on your premises.
Some older models cannot be changed over at all! For this reason your
Hydro has opened a special CLOCK and FAN DEPOT (see below)
where you may take advantage of one of the TWO SPECIAL PLANS
outlined here.
EXCHANGE PLAN
Under this plan, for a very small 'exchange price' you may exchange your
present 25 -cycle clock or fan for a brand new 60 -cycle model. All you
have to (lois turn in your old clock or fan at the Depot, make a selection
from the wide variety of 60 -cycle models on display, and pay the very
small 'exchange price' in cash. All items brought in for exchange must be
in working condition.
CHANGE -OVER PLAN
If your present 25 -cycle clock or fast CAN be changed over to 60 cycles,
and if you wish to have this done instead of exchanging it for a new
60 -cycle model, the work of converting it will -be done FREE OF
CHARGE. This change -over service will take about two Weeks and you
will be notified when the item is ready.
IMPORTANT !
This Clock and Fan Depot will be open for a LIMITED TIME ONLY!
It will be closed as soon as the change -over work in your district is
completed. To avoid being inconvenienced PLEASE COOPERATE BY
BRINGING IN YOUR CLOCK OR FAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Thank you.
