WHAT MAKES A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER TICK?
(St. Marys Journal Argus)
THE WEEK of October 1st to 8th has been set aside as
"Canadian Weekly Newspaper Week". It is a time when it is
hoped the thoughts of a few more Canadians will be turned to
the weekly newspapers of this country of which there are more
than 700 published every week.
Have you ever wondered what makes a weekly newspaper
tick? Many persons ask us the questions about it, and some
seem to be mystified as to how any newspaper which publishes
but once a week can make enough money to make "ends meet".
Others of course are almost sure that it is all fun publishing
a weekly newspaper and "lots of money" is made. The financial
picture of the average weekly newspaper is usually a medium
between these two suggested extremes.
The important thing in any weekly newspaper is you—the
reader. Without you there would be no reason for existence.
Our job is to serve you each week in the year with local news
and views. And the little industrial plant which publishes this
newspaper owes a good deal of its prosperity to just how well
you think we do our job.
The weekly press is really the voice of small-town Canada.
As we said more than 700 of them from coast to coast report
and record local news and views. Through their advertising
columns they aid in the gigantic job of moving local and
national merchandise. Their job of informing you continuines
week -in and week -out.
Now, during Canadian Weekly Newspaper Week, is a good
time for us to assess the importance of a free press. Look
through this week's issue of this newspaper. It isn't as fat as
the New York Times nor will it have the circulation of Life
Magazine, but it's the only newspaper in the world that gives a
hoot about the Town of St. Marys. Its Editor and staff are
glad to back local projects, glad to help local organizations be-
cause they know that their future and yours run down a com-
mon path.
Vast improvements have been made in the little industrial
plant that produces your newspaper. During the past decade,
right across Canada, new presses and typesetting machines are
common sights in weekly plants. Newspaper publishers are
proud of the progress they have made . . . they are proud too
each week to serve you with more local news and pictures than
ever before.
STAYING AT SCHOOL
(Uxbridge Times Journal)
In the long run, few things matter more to Canada than
young Canadians of today—the generation of tomorrow—stay
in school long enough to complete their education and develop
their natural talents to the utmost.
For great wealth of natural resources is not enough. A
people must ensure a plentiful and continuing supply of educated
brain power if it is to make full use of nature's bounty.
Many of our troubles today—more than most of us realize
—are due to our not having worried enough about this in the
past. Adolescents, tempted by good wages to be had from menial
employment, have left school long before, in their best interests
and those of the nation, they should have done. And their par-
ents, often lacking even the excuse of real necessity have per-
mitted this.
Later, of course, comes the reckoning. The sacrifice of a
finished education for short-term gain becomes a matter of life-
long regret when the premature school-leavers find themselves
without the theoretical foundation necessary to the acquistiion of
a skill and the development of a career. And, since the greater
part of those without work at any given time are unskilled, they
frequently find themselves unemployed in later life.
If this is true today, it will assuredly be even more so in
the increasingly technological, automated society of tomorrow,
when one skill often may not be enough.
All this points up the heavy responsibility which rests on
Canadian parents and teachers to co-operate in making young
students see how much is at stake.

SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
Maybe Tun just getting old and
grouchy, but it seems to me that
life .around our place gets more
erantic and complicated with the
passing of each year. I'm begin-
ning to Adak back with nostalgia
on the good old days when all the
kids dad was scream all the time,
knock over their milk, and keep
their diapers 'soaked.
rs r *
From this distance, those days
had a tranquillity about them that
makes ni;e •green with envy. We'd
bath the children sand iput them to
bed, looking and smelling Like rose-
buds. We'd do the dishes anviably.
Then weed sit around and read, or
chat, or play cribbage or chess.
* * *
Oh, we weren't complete fads.
Wend go to ,line :did show, and get
together with 'friends a couple of
times a week. And I used to go
out to meetings quite often, lin the
evening. But when I'd come home,
there would ;be the (old Trouble 'n
Sttriife, with a big spot of tea. and
some Lovely homemade tarts from
the bakeshop. I'd try to tell her
about the height things I'd said
:at 'the :meetings, whiffle she told me
the bright things. the kids had said
or done before, beel.
As I remember it, though, we
thought life was pretty strenuous
in those days, and we could hardly
wait until the ;kids got a bit older,
so we'd have more freedom, more
time for relaxation and recreation.
Looking back, I realize we were
up to our ears in racious, sitnple
living, and didn't know it. Com-
pared to the continual conniption
fit ,that seems to constitute our
faintly life nowadays, we were as
peaceful as peas in a pod.
* *
Somewhere, at some crossing,
tliat .idyllic existence' went off the
tracks. Life at our house is now
a series of crises, each one as
noisy 'and frenzied as the last one,
as exasperating and exhausting as
the next one.
*
First crisis of the day ns before,
breakfast. Kiat does her piealo
practising early, starting at 7.30.
Her mother, just out of bed, a real
martyr, and grouchy as a grizzly,
supervises. Invariably, there are
harsh words. I'm getting Sick and
tired of being awakened by a tear-
stained kid, declaring that `Mum-
my's so mean!"
Noonhour is sheer chaos, just
one (big crisis. 'The kids fight with
each other. The parents fight with
each other,. The kids fight with
the parents, Occasionally, when
there's a lull in hostilities, the
three of thein are merely all talk-
ing at once, all talking excitedly
and all .talking about some thing
'different while I move silently
about the kitchen, pouring glasses
of milk, looking for the salt, and
trying to stay neutral,
*
Just the other day, we had a
typical noonhour deal. Kiimn drop-
ped a slice of peach on her fresh
blouse. She reached fox it, with
the hand that held her knife and
a bag gob off butter. • The butter
scooted to the floor. Getting a
little excited, she bent to go after
it, her chill hit the dish .and the
rest of the peaches flipped. Try-
ing to save them, she knocked over
a glass 'of milds. Laugh? I thought
I'd cry.
*
When everything was squared
around, and the recrirninationss had
ceased, she went out to play. Three
minutes later, she was back in,
Tioolcing scared. She'd torn the
buckle 'and satrap off one off her
brand new shoes. So I spent half
anhour of lunchtime crawling ar-
ound in a big pile of leaves, look-
ing (for a shoe buckle. Didn't find
it, sent her off to school with a
Last volley of threats, and went in
and let the Old Girl out of the
strait jacket.

Tuesday, Hugh was to catch the
bus (at 4 p.m., to take 'him to the
city, 20 miles away, for ;his Music
/lessoon. I was out selling ads.
At 4.05 I see this.famddagr-loolo7ng

grabbed him, borrowed a car., and
we, took off 'after the bus. We
hurtled down the highway at 75;.
yes 75, frying to catch: up.. We
caught it two miles this side of the
city. He thought it was a dandy
adventure. I lost an hour's work
on my busiest day.
