THURSDAY, MARCH l5th, 1945 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO fl A (1w! 1'T11~ Weekly Edîtor in Broadcast Speaks of Publisher'si Life X Hugh Templin Delivered Address Over C.B.C. Hugh Templin, vice-president ofa the Canadian Weckiy News- papers Association and publisher ai the Fergus News-Record, spoke recentiy from Ottawa over C.B.C, national nctwork. The invitation ta speak over the air was given by the C.B.C. officiaIs and ac- cepted by Mr. Templin, who was at that time in Ottawa at a meet- ing ai the board ai directors ai the C.W.N.A. Mr. Templin is rated highly by his calleagues and ather newspapermen thraughout Canada. His radia address which was heard by a large audience ~as widely apprcciated by al ',ho heard it. In bis speech he E'sid: W nSeptember, 1941, 1 was id- ing in a staff car aven the iovely roads ai sauthcrn Engiand. Ahl day long, we had been travelling with the Canadian Army on manoeuvres aven dusty highways and past numeraus little villages. In the back seat with me was an officiai army photographer, a young man from Ontario. He ask- cd me questions about many de- tails ai the wark in a weekly ncwspaper office, finaliy saying, "You May wonder why I am so much interested in weekly news- papers. Weil, my great ambition is ta awn anc aiter the war." He dicV't necd ta tell mc that. It was an old story.

I have been Hugh Templin told that ninety per cent af the members ofa the press gallery here in Ottawa hope ta own a weekly paper some day. This common desire is based an a popular error-the idea that editors of weekly newspapers are men of comparative leisure. The city jaurnalist, striving ta meet a daily deadline, imagines that he wauld have ta hurry only one day a wpek if he had a littie paper ai his awn. The other days, he cauld go fishing, or talk ta farm- ers, or loai around in his rose garden. Editors ai weekly papers don't do that, particularly in these days.

My own staff ai bright young men is scattered, anc is in a corvette in the North Atlantic; anc is piloting a bomber over Germany, anc is with the artil- lery in Beigium and anc is doing radar work on the east caast. Nowadays an cntirely. feminine staff helps the editor ta publish the News-Record. Evtry weekly newspaper has its wartime troubles, yet the 30 editors who have been meeting here in Ottawa this wcek are men wha enjoy their wonk. Sa do most ai the othen 600 editors in Canada whom they represent. They wauldn't trade jobs with anyone. They don't make much maney, perhaps, but there is a solid satisfaction about their work. The editar ai a wcekly paper lives close ta his readers. Hc knaws most ai them by namne. His paper prints the news as it affects the people in his awn dist- rict. Many ai the problems that shape history have their echoes in aur own tawn and cauntryside. Take the "Freedom ai the Press" as an example. The news gathering associations ai several countries are discussing the prob- lem at present. It affects aur weekîy papers taa, but in a small- er and mare intimate way. After ail, it was editars ai weekly papers who won the Freedam ai the Press in bath Britain and Canada. And it isn't only nation- al governments which would in- terfere with that freedom. Twice in my experience, municipal councils have taken printing con- tracts from the News-Record be-. cause they didn't like painted comment on the editanial page, and thought that in this way they could muzzle the editor. They were mistaken, ai course, but there is nced for constant vigil- ance even in smali matters. We make little attempt ta caver the news ai the warld as a whole, but the big events aiten have their echoes here at home. When a thousand bambing pian7es go out aver Germany, officiai re- port may say, "20 planes are missing from the night's opera- tions, ai which three are Cana- dian"'. But when Bill Holman's mother brings in a letter from her boy, who is the bamb aimer in a Hali- fax, we know it is anc ai the most interesting stories we have seen in a long time and we know aur readers will cat it up, nat simply because af the modest under- statements with which Bill de- scribes haw lhe brought home from Essen a battered Halifax plane with a wounded pilot, but because aur readers have known Bill since he was a baby, and his j rnother and father befare that. i We are ail glad ta hear, a few days later, that Bll will soan be wvearing the. purpie and white diagonal stripes ai the Distin- 1 guished Flying Cross. He didn'tt knaw that when he wrotc the let- ter, but there is no doubt he earn- 1 ed that medal. This week, two mare Fergusi boys are in the honors list, Lamnee Ford and Bill Mann used ta livec in the same block in Fergus. Their 1 gardens almost touched, back ta i back. Lamne has been the pilot if- a Mosquito bomber on many a t raid over Berlin; Bill saved the I lie ai an officer on D-Day on the r ceaches ai Narmandy at the rîsk I- of his own 11f e. Our readers re- b~ joice when local boys are honar- d; they sympathize with the par- d ents of those wha will not return n ecause everybody knaws them. v Ncarly every item in aur papers l( as a personal interest that the c aoronta Star or the London rimes might envy. One ai the best things aur I iewspapers do in these days is ta cep the boys averseas in touch Nith home. Every weekly news- aper now has subscribers inn urope, Africa and Asia. In aur n )wn town, the Fergus cauncil d: )ays for eeveral hundred copies C )f The News-Record each week or local boys overseas. Nothing Your Help is Urgently Needed!

Laoking aven those 30 editors at the Chateau this weck, I know that al ai them have traveiled acrass Canada, ycar aiter ycar, gaing ta conventions, hearing local opinions and viewpaints. They have visited war industries; haye sailcd on ships ai the Cana- dian Navy; have flown in train- ing planes ai the R.C.A.F. Some ai them have travelied on crowd- cd traop transports or pitiful rcfugee ships: have flown the At- lantic ta Scotland; have been bambcd in England; have tried ta undenstand the people ai neutrai Ireland, or have been traiied by German spies in Lisbon.

Dear Folks: I haven't much neWs and we haven't received much mail. The weather has been perfectly misenable for the last couple weeks with about one day ai sunshine in every ten. It has been cold and miserable with lots ai snow and nain with plenty ai coid blistcning winds. I am writing this letter in the dining naom ai an Italian famiiy with whom we are staying. They are strîctly the peasant type and I don't think they have seen a typewriten before. As a resuit they are aIl sitting around watch- ing it click, sa it is very hard ta think. Just befane this last stretch we are doing now we neceived quite a lot ai mail, but didn't have time ta pnoperiy digest it befone wc had ta destray it ail. My driver, who is a neal west- ern cowboy, is down here with me and is parlying with the natives tnying ta distract their attention from my efforts at typ- ing. He is rcally a whiz at the language and does ail my intni- cate interpreting. Some af aur boys with natunai tendencies ta- wands languages have made mar- vellous progress and speak Ital- ian just like the natives. The Italians make it a littie diffi- cuit at times as they have so many provincial diaiects. The news from the RuÉsian front certainly saunds good but I am afraid it gives anc a feeling that the war is just about finish- ed and I dan't think it is. Even if Berlin does faîl I think the remnants ai the German army will fight on tili the last man and the last nouild. It centainiy is encauraging, though, ta think that the war is anc step nearer campietion. These peasants have just brought out their spinning wheei and are going hard at it. I have rever scen such a primitive race as these Italian peasants. We still cansider ourseives fortunate that ;hey havcn't their live stock liv- ng in the same roomn with them. The ather day I ran into anc ai the boys wha lives near home, but VII be darned if I can think ai his name. He lives on a farm near Hampton, but I just can't remem- ber names anymore.f Well, this is the end ai a rather i] .ull and dreary letter, but we are t making lots ai news but they i wan't aliow us ta tell about it. Sa 0 log ion now and keep the letters$ zoming.

That may not saund like great deal but if the dairy pro- lcts cantained in a single pack- te are multiplied by 140,000 and hat amaunt is muitiplied by the 2weeks in the year, it nepre- 'nts a sizable quantity ai dairy Soducts. As a matten ai iact, the miik, or itteniat nequired ta supply Red 'rss parceis alone is sufficient amake about 10,134,000 pounds fbutter annuaiiy - enough ta upply the total yearly butter ra- io ai any Canadian city ai 400,- 00 persans, or about twa wecks upply fan the entire population fCanada.
