Let Us Know the News Many people seem to have the idea that the local paper is only for the publication of social and person items and when an event of importance takes place they fail to "tip off" the editor, who is sometimes unaware that anything has taken place. When a newspaper is giving it, columns to the interest and welfare of a commun- ity, those serving it should at least try and see that the public, who are interested get a small inkling of what is being done and the only way the public can get the news is through the local paper. A call on the tele- phone, a word in passing, is all that is necessary to put the newspaperman wise to any event of the day. He daes not gel out a paper on mere heresay and gossip. Sang at Presbyterian Church At the Presbyterian church on Sing Aug. eoth, Master George Addison of • Orillia, sang solos at both morning and evening serviees, which were highly appreciated.
