Right To Know This is National Newspaper Week time set aside each year during which we might discuss the merits the prob lems and the philosophies of our free press Newspapers in Canada are dedicated to protecting your freedoms This applies both to members of The Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association and the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Asso elation strange as it may seem in country whose way of life has been so closely tied with an unrestricted press there are forces here that would deny and censor the right of free access to seek out these facts Thererare those who would close public meetings to the press bar re porters from council meetings and leg lslatlve hearings You must be aware that is happening in all phases of mun icipal life today in city town and town ship And it happens in such things as hospital boards and other groups which depend on public funds To limit the press in its attempts to obtain accurate and factual information is to limit newspapers in their fight to protect your freedoms While this newspaper condemns such practices on the part of the public 01 ficlals we could hardly do so without first examining our own operation and know that we practise what we advopaig our relations with advertisers who make it financially possible to have free press serves as an excellent parallel The most important function we serve for them is by providing the circulation for their sales messages Because of this circulation facts are essential to their planning and the success of their adver tislng investments Just as we believe agreporter should not be denied complete access to the facts as protection of your freedoms neither should anyone with legitim ate interest be deprived the protection of accurate factual circulation data Thats why this newspaper is mem ber of theAudit Bureau of circulations so that we might furnish advertisers with verified information about our cir culatlon As member of the Audit Bureau any and all records deemed necessary by ABC are submitted to independent audit by specially trained circulation au ditors Following theauditors visit ABC publishes report containing his find ings on our circulation Through this easytoresd report the mom of our clr culation are made available to advertis ers complete and objective report Copies of this report are available free to advertisers Just as we believe that complete information regarding the advertising value of this newspaper should be available as protection to our advertisers so do we believe in the ob llgatio of newspapers in guarding the freedoms and protecting the interests of our readers The press as the recognized medium on public discussion and information should be given every opportunity torob taln the facts if it is to remain frecdorns guardian GEs MixedUp US Strike It is unfortunate when any labor dis pute reaches the point where men leave panys proposed retraining program for their jobs In the strike of the Intema tional Union of Electrical Workers against the General Electric Company in the United States which has been weakened by the second largest local Schenectady going back bowork the issues seem particularly narrow com ments The Christian Science Monitor The principal apparent difference he f7ween the company position andthat of the union is over continuance of cost oflivlng escalator clause This comes at time when the economic trend would seem to indicate that the clause would make very little difference to either side over thenext two years more is also complaint that the com dlsplacedeworkers while forwardlooking in itself would not be subject to provis ions in the generalvcontrelct for seniority and the handling of grievances This matter may have been brought closer to agreement through the fact that rival union the United Electrical Workers has continued in negotiating contact While TUE was on strike The fact of the existence of the UE once expelledJrocmfhe Congressof ln dustrlel Organizations for alleged taints of communism puts the leadership of President James Carey and the IUE under competitive pressure The strike was called in the face of the fact that the unions largest

thought bylradio Its about time apprenticeship By McINTYRE HOOD loudm England Correspondent For The Barrie Examiner EDINBURGH SCOTLAND Early next year new you training scheme the first of its kind in Britain is likely to be in augurated in Edinburgh The idea behind this schem is to give boys and girls iralnlng in the work that is expected of them in shop or store in the retail distributive tradebefore they take their places behind count Atyresentyfhere is dayre lease course for young people al ready employed in these trades They are released from their work for one day week to ob fendinstruction in their approx riafe branch of the retail trade The new scheme has been put forward by Secretary of State for Scotland JJ Manley 0n the theory of cathing them young he has recommended that pre voonfloual courses for teenagers wishing to learn about work in the retail distributive trades he introduced The Edinburgh education do pertinent has been quick to take up the idea One of its officials said We hope this scheme will start in Edinburgh soon The matter is to be considered next month and will be discussed with representatives of the retail trade it is likely that we will be gin the course early next year This will add to many courses now being given forryoungrpeop le and which act as bridge be tween secondary education and weaveralumni No one knows how many galax ies that there are in the universe the estimates vary from one bil in lion galsxles to ten tune that many Our Solar Syseln including our Sun and our Earth are tiny part of galaxy called the Milky Way gum Our Milky Way galaxy may ap pear like this lfwe could look down upon it from above The galm is made up largely of stars lt in fact it is estimated that the Milky Way galaxy pos scsses 100 billion stars 100000 000000 TWOSOUP PLATES From the side the Milky Way galay resembles two soup plat esput face to face It leaks littlelike closed oyster hall from the side also The galaxy is 60000 to 100000 lightyears wide and 15000 to 30 000 lightyears thick The centre is thicker than the outer edges so it depends upon what you are measuring light year is 0000000000000 miles lrillion miles So the Milky Way galalw is about 600 000000000000000 miles wide and 170000000000000000 thick As we stand in Ontario and look up at the Milky Way at night we are looking in the direction of one of the arrows in

people are employed in the retail dis tributive trades than in any oth er occupation This has ernphss ized the need for course such as is being given consideration GIRLS BENEFIT MOST For the moment it looks as if girls will benefit most from the scheme To use common phrase in Britain at the moment the girls have never had it so good so far as jobs go This year not nearly old girls left school to fill the hundreds of vacancies which were open for juniors With boys however it is rath er different matter They do loot find ites easy to secureems ployment on leaving school The other day flie Edinburgh Trades Council said that it would be necessary for Marge number of Edinburgh firms to introduce apprenticeship scheme to take care of the bulge in the male schoolleaving population The council esflmafes that next year 500 Edinbiirgh school leavers will be left unemployed in the fol lowing year lt predicts there will be 500 boys alone in that category Hence the interest that is being shown in the proposed new retail training course The Employmem Offlce for Edinburgh however is rather more optimistic its deputy chief says As far asvappreutlceshlps for boy 30 it is difficult

BILLION STARS The Milky Way gslay con tains in addition to 10 billion stars vast clouds of hydrogen gas and dust which obscure our vlevv and show up as dark patch es The gas and dust on the whole is contained in the arms of the galaxy It is thought that stars are formed out of gas and dust and the young stars are along the dust lanes and are missingfrom other parts of the galaxy In the centre in particular are the old starsnnddeud slhrswhlcb have exploded or run out of energy It is estimated that over l2 ol the stars are not in fact single stars but are what are calledbln ary or multiple stars Tbatisio say they are In palrsor triples or quadruples that circle around each other Some of the stars in the galaxy are smaller and faint er than the Sun but much hotter These are called white dwarfs they are stars which are aboill to die Some stars are much lar ger than the Sun and are red colour Our Sun is yellow colour and is middleaged Some stars pulsste that is to say they in crease in size and brightness and then shrink in size and brightness with much regularity Some stars group in clusters within the gel ay While some go it alone The galaxy is spinning anti clockwise like wheel Our Sun will do complete circle around tile centre of the galaxy once ev ery 200000000 years thus the Sun is circling inside of the gle any at about 42000 mph local speed actual speed in the gal axy of the Sun is about 670000 miles per hour Our galaxy hangs around in group of 16 or 11 other galaxies which is called The Local Group Our Mlllq Way galaxy is by weight aboutfi per cent rs and per cent
