Production mj PAGE TWO THURSDAY THE NINETEENTH DAt OP AUGUST NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYFOUR TAPE RECORDER OR ELECTORS The presence of a press tape recorder at the meet ing of Newmarket town council Monday night brought objections front Edward Wrightman MR expressed concern over something new which the press was using at the meeting During the discussion which followed Councillor Robert he was not too pleased With the but said he thought it would be all right for one meeting Reeve Joseph Dales expressed his opinion that if a member of council did not wish to be quoted he should say nothing Councillor Alex Hands did not agree with the reeves opinion and said that there are times when a member of council will say something which does not wish to be made public So it seems that we have members of council on one hand wanting to be quoted accurately and in full and on the other hand not wanting to be quoted Our im pression is that some of them just want their own way when it comes to press treatment We sincerely hope that circumstances permit councillors to be happy with press reports at all times but our good wishes will never make a particle of change in the press reports As for Councillor Hands complaint we wonder how he could ever make a statement at a public meeting which he does not wish to be made public He can neither make a public statement in private nor a private statement in public And is tape recording the council meeting any different from shorthand recording We wonder what Councillor Hands would do if the tape recorder were substituted by municipal electors or taxpayers A vote was also taken at the council meeting on whether or not the tape recorder should be used We also wonder why the vote was called and what the council would have done had the vote been negative Would council call for a vote on whether or not electors should remain at a public meeting of council Or what sort of power could it assume to decide whether municipal business be conducted with or without public knowledge We do not believe for one moment that the town council has the slightest intention of conducting town affairs secretly The tape recording was merely startl ing to one or two members and they stabbed at any point for an argument As it happened we could nut agree with Councillor Hands opinion It is also possible that he has changed his mind since the meeting ABOUT ACCURACY Councillor A clarified his remarks about among some members of the- library board in a letter to the editor published while we were away on holidays lie named the members to whom he was referring and this week one of them writes a reply in lite letters column We think the reply was sensibly written with remarkable restraint As for Councillor comments on accurate reporting we cart only say that from council meetings nothing more can be reported than what is heard ami that we are under no obligation to report all that is heard we do not report every thai is uttered at the meetings it seems thinks thai we are not being accurate We give Mr a point for his observation that Councillor Edward a discission about the Library board by asking wiry a special council committee was not notified of a library hoard meeting on Saturday July But we particularly interested in aiv ighimans remarks we were only interested in the library board discussion which followed Is lite fact ftoportoce that it was Wright man and not someone fije asked a question which merely prompted tile king Not to Anl we tepftyavs be too about it made meetings may bo of to those who mate them hut others may them Wo readies tho wt of VsaWM wto to im rftcdince WO do not publish all the hail jokes or empty remark fi instance would poor reading Yet it would seem that lift We could be ft 3rt and it We have no more intention of offering Han sard services than we have of being a mouthpiece for members of council If Mr considers that by doing this we are being inaccurate then we shall go on being inaccurate in his opinion Mention of the local tannery in letter appeared to have little connection with the greater part of his subject material It is odd that he bothered to mention it He asks how the following statement can be correct Competition by leather substitutes too has caused the industry many problems in the last 10 years We dont think it is necessary to elaborate for other readers We do not think the leather industry is happy about plastic products and other substitutes cutting into the leather market Wear talking about the industry and not about the company affairs of the local tannery as Mr chose to do In his letter Mr Be lu gift stated Councillor can supply you with some more corrections of your reports in the same issue this time in connec tion with his roads and bridges I dont doubt that he will at the very first meeting of the council he will be able to attend A meeting of council was held Monday night was present He did not mention tfie reports We do recall that following a council meeting Coun cillor gave us a verbal report his committee and requested that we publish the informa tion Our notes were according to what we heard the councillor say Wo are happy to provide the councillors with a public service publishing committee reports which are of interest to the ratepayers It Would be much more simple and in the interests accurate re porting if councillors would submit written reports The members of council rightly should be anxious that the public be informed on all matters Therefore they should make easy for members of the press to receive accurate information If statements are to be made verbally they should be made accurately aud audibly NOT EVERYONE WITH BEE IN BONNET The press has a responsibility in choosing what is important for publication In readers give the greatest assistance in making the choice Mv as a reader is one in several thousand But as a Councillor he has nothing to do with our choice It is only a few weeks that wo quoted A son chairman of the Board of Gover nors on this very subject Ho referred to those working in communication media who have constantly to choose what they will put out and what they will not Those in charge he said must he continually selecting and rejecting That is where the great icspousibiiity Ilea They need to be aware of the need for the greatest pos sible practical freedom and opportunity for at least most main ideas and kinds of information to he made avail able to peoples minds Obviously there is not room for every person with a bee in his bonnet or a theme in his head to

Shaving former yard man with the and then detective now retired will renew the hunt for Sue Comeback the well bred Holstein of Green Gables Farm who disappeared the community in No one ever new the fate of Sue Dragapple Comeback one of the blue bloods of district circles She disappear ed one night while out for an evening stroll along a Green Gables Farm lane tit that she was seized atidcarried by some unknown Holstein admirer It- is whispered sometimes In stein circles that it was some one in the Guernsey circle but we never pay any attention rumor The mystery of Sue of Green Gables has been the subject of many street corner discussions Comers folk have thought up various theories on the subject off her disappearance Some say she is still alive in Montreal Others say she was cownapped by a beef ring and to the Detroit market Still others whisper that her milk production had been fail ing and that her disappearance was just a convenient way of dropping out of the competitions without admitting failure Well this week Shaving has been interviewing police farm organization authorities dis trict citizens and Ferdinand Rex dHolstein a former bull friend of Sue In short Shaving is following up every possible lead Some are trying to discredit Shaving They say that police already know that Sue Drag- apple is dead but that since they are short a carcass they cannot make a statement that she is dead or alive Since there is a possibility that Sue w taken to the stockyards in Detroit Toronto or some other beef centre there is a strong possi bility that she was butchered and long since graced Sunday dinner tables in the form of roast and steaks Weft bred circles still mourn the of Sue Every oi editors ask th Where is Si Comeback Will have the I year

come with the answer to the strange mystery of the disappearance of Sue Comeback I gamble my whole reputation on this case- Wo are all awaiting the result of Shavings investi gation by Dairy Farmed

worth storing grain and for many years this system worked lnst year the system did not work and last springs usual prices mighty big us now that arc being paid at the barn It it not tor question

This year It started low and has gone up now from to a bushel At that it is a better price almost than wheat The net result is that the farmers cash insomo this yew will be lower again and the trouble is that while the cost operating may level off and the odd item may bo cheaper than Was such twine and gas It takes cash to operate and it will be scarce again Ihifc year Of course wo do not know what
