_ Conadian Weekly "tick? Now is a good time to examine the question during Caradian Weekly Neywspaper Week. a Thursgday, October 2, 1958 Hf a Nation is healthy, the main reason behind its health is that its small towns are vigorous, deveâ€" ‘loping communities. Around the centre of that energy and vigor Canadian weekly pewspapers are proud to feel they play an important part. The important thing in any weekly newspaper is you. Yes, without our readers we would be lost. You are the reason we exist Our job is to serve you with local news and views. And the little industrial plant that publishes this weekly newspaper owes a good deal of its prosperity to just how well you The weekly press is really the voice of smallâ€" town Canada. 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 merchanâ€" dise. Their job of informing you continues weekâ€"in and weekâ€"out. Whichever way you look at it they are the basic medium of communication in the Nation. 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 paper. It won‘t be as fat as the New York Times nor will it have the cireulation of Life Magazine. But it‘s likely the only newspaper in the world that gives a hoot about your town. Its Editor is glad to back local projects, glad to help local organizations because he knows that his future and yours run down a common path. o Vast improvements have been made in the little | industrial plant that produces your newspaper. DurJ ing the past decade, right across Canada, new pressâ€", es 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 tc serve you with more local news| and pictures than ever before. | Right at the beginning of this editorial we made the statement that weeklies are the voice of smallâ€" town Canada. Well, that‘s still true, but we note in recent years with interest the growth of the weekly suburban press. These posh cousins on the outskirts of big cities are a new national phenomenon. Right under the nose of the big dailies and lots of TV staâ€" tions, the suburban weeklies are prospering at a terrific rate. You see right across the Nation people are used to hometown news and even when they become a part of big sprawling cities they want to belong to something like the old home town. Now it‘s plain to see in our very complicated society today that the big city dailies have a place and so do radio and TV stations, how could we do without them, but wherever you go or wherever you come from chances are there is a weekly newspaper ready and able to serve you with local news, views and advertising and now during Canadian Weekly Newspaper Week the weeklies of Canada take pri_de society. tfl; ";;â€"vi'ée' vih:;}: 'tl;e'yv _i'l_:;\-re- -giw;éâ€"t; to Canadian WIWAY MARKET your family shopping centre Open every night till 10:00 p.m. Ever worder what makes a weekly newspaper Shop at your convenience Monday thru Saturday 9:00 a.m. â€" 10:00 p.m. Prevention Chief, Rooss Alliâ€" Mr. Allison used the techâ€" nique of ‘audience participeâ€" tion‘ with each of the students trying their hand with the varioys methods of fire seafety and prevention.
