But it had its rewards, right? There was that sheer physi- cal satisfaction of seeing the first copy run off and folded. smelling of ink,. practically hot in your hands, like a fresh- haked loaf. There was another type of reward - knowing you had stuck to your principles, and written a strong and unpopular editorial, letting the chips fall where they might. Abont a year ago, three old and close weekly newspaper friends phoned me from a convention in Toronto: Don Me- Cuaig of Renfrew, Gene Macdonald of Alexandria, and Pete Hvidsten. It was about midnight and they weren't even flying yet. I sensed something wrong. I thought they need- edsiitiurtheretogetsomereutintdtttedougtt.'rttersmnd- 'ttire was the deep pleasure of seeing, after months of writing and urging, the reluctant town fathers adopt a policy that was right and good, instead of merely expedient. Some people would prefer to be remembered by a plaque or statue, A good, old-time weekly editor would die happy, if they named a new sewage system or old folks' home, for which he had campaigned, after him. There aren't many of the old breed left, come to think of it. George Cadogan, Mae McConnell, Art Carr, the Derksens of Saskatchewan. The type of editor who could set a stick of type, fix a machine, run a linotype in a pinch, carry the papers to the post office, if necessary, pound out an editorial. There is a new breed abroad in the land. Many of them are graduates of a school of journalism. This'type wants every news story to be a feature article. They all want to be columnists, not reporters. There's another type, among the young. They- refuse to believe that a weekly editor should be poor but proud. They work on the cost of a column-inch rather than records of peoples' lives. They won't die broke. They believe in holi- days and fringe benefits and all those things we never heard of and couldn't afford. Maybe it's all for the best. We were suckers'. We literally believed that an editor's first allegiance was the betterment of the entire community, not himself. Weekly newspapers, today, are better-looking, fatter, richer. They are put together with scissors and paste, print- ed at a central location on, a big, offset press which doesn't break down, folded and bundled with dispatch. The only thing that hasn't improved is the postal delivery. . VI; ttl h')"' A; l Getting Old BEQEIXQQLQN Coiffure Cottage PERMS 1/2 PRICE . , Reg.820.00, New " tp' Reg. $25.00.
