paper to decline several soept ers stated at the weekend win ter conference of the Canadian institute on Public Affairs The conference subject was 1110 Press and the Public and criticisms were expressed of al most every aspect of newspaper activity manv of them by the newspaper men who made up the speaking panel The consensus appeared to be that the press has improved but probably not fast enough it Farquharson former newspaper editor who now is minister counsellor Canadian embassy Washington stated There has been steady im provement in the quality of the product but doubtif the pro gress has been as fast as the development of world complica fusing rather than clarifying CITES REASONS The turn towards the more serious newspaper was vari ously attributed to more in formed public

expecting reporting in depth Speakers emphasized that by serious newspaper they dont mean dnll newspaper in this area newspapers were charged wiin streming the voice of the established forms of so business labor or the local liid ies aid and not giving enough ulteotion to the unorthodox Mr Berton said the worst feature of Canadian papers in general is that Iii lack dar ing and imagination and literary style There was nothing in instance to compare with Le Devoir of Montreal Discussion at Sundays closing two hour session of which one hour was televised by CBC dealt at length with the amount

ourselves nho pioneered that area Bill Lamb was there when we all arrived and was always the first one to call as soon as one had bought lot He would be on hand with his horse Dolly to re move tree or dig hole or do anything that cropped up as well as build or help to build cottage Bill was the first ice man in the district and was also builder He came over from the 7th line to live on the tith which is now the paved road to the park He and his wife kept open house where one could phone or get help of any sort His two sons worked along with him until Merwoed went into the army and at the beginning of the second war Willard went to Melton to make aeroplanes Bill carried on and he was as sure as the sun and as reliable The many hundreds of little services be rendered were per haps forgotten by most of those who received the benefitsit was just something Bill Lamb did We can think of lots of them Once when we were try ing to get out the 8th line to attend funeral and the spring floods were on Bill mounted Dollys back and scouted along the fiondcovered road for spot where car could get through Another time we en deavored to get neighbor through to the hospital when the only read was car track over the snow driils Bill came along to help and it was lucky he did as our vehicle got off and tilted over From inside the car the groans of our pregnant neighbor made us fear that
