' That respons- ibility is simply a responsibility to provide the two sides of the picture for every noticeable point' of. view, every substantial . interest that exists in our way of life. To- day that responsibility has become a great duty, the duty toifight for the interests of the entire comm \ in ty. Though this is op 'the fundament- . al duty of the press, theimen who control the large amalgamations 4nd the great city dailies do not always; jee heir responsibil ity clearly. By tend friends at the top of the 0 Slew ladder publishers endanger the freedom of the press." The term free enterprise--has too often been used as a shield to ward off at- tempts to remedy much needed injustices and inequalities in our way of life . . . «it has tended to discredit the really signif- icant. contributions of so-called free enter- prise. To some extent even small weekly newspapers are put to the same pressure by vested interests as the bigger journals . and every weekly has had the ex- perience of having some irate and dis- gruntled advertiser use his business as a treat to coerce public opinion or the policy - of the paper and therefore its integrity. The first requisite of a free press is, editorial independence and the only way to achieve this is to think in terms of social needs rather than party slogans. We have never failed to detect the hollow ring that invariably accompanies the editorials of partisan: papers: and-all but the most pre- "judiced realize this too. Freedom to speak out, to print the facts, to- say what obviously 'must be said . this is the freedom of the press; it is only ' achieved and maintained where the .inter- ng to side with the . isn't going to help us lick it. THE NEED FOR DISCUSSION ON THE © LIQUOR PROBLEM The the life of the individual, the family, and the community pays d dreadful tribute' "to liquor is well understood The figures that do little more than indicate what the . tribute is a re truly astounding.

Port Perry. Hospital Board Presents The Hospital Board called a meeting - of those people-interested in the build-' other donations to the extent of $230. ing of the new Memorial Hospital in Only a small attendance resulted, due we believe to 'the short notice with which the meeting was held. Primarily the object of the meeting was to present the Financial Report to the Councils of the municipalities "which will be benefitted by the hos- 1% eral Government; pital. This statement will be pub- "lished later, Mr. H. Brooks, chairman, spoke of the work involved in 'preparing the plans and specifications. This includ- ed contacting engineers and architects and going over the details of the hos- pital requirements, consulting the Minister of Health, now Dr, Philips, and again examining the details in "the light of Government regulations. Dr. Philips assured the Board of Gov- ernment 'support to 'the extent of $24,000, and $1000 per bed from Fed- but warned the Board of the task of maintaining the hospital. : Mr. Hayes presented. the- financial report and gave in some detail the ' cost of the various items in the state- ment. Regarding the tenders for OF pp -- rr - a hd electrical wiring he said that some of the tenders included the price of in- - stalling a transformer and poles which the Ontario Hydro have said they will do at their expense, and also the wir- ing of the nurses' residence. 'It is be- "lieved that if the nurses' residence is not undertaken the cost of the hospital 'will be.about $20,000 less. Also it was fnted out that the overall figures did not includ the building of a septic tank and drains. On the'other hand the Board says that it makes up the 'estimate they have used the highest figures in order not to give a' figure below that. which it wifl eventually cost. In other words it may be that it will be possible to build below the : estimated cost. During the. dissnailon that followed 'i the presentiing- of the report; one|. pay "J; woman present suggested that there be more semi-p been: planned. opinion of the women that semi- _ private rooms were more popular with patients than private rooms, except in cases of. severe illness, - 'If the De- ~ pattment will approve this change in plans it will also help to. reduce the cost of building to a degree. Mr. Brooks on behalf of the Board thanked the Busfhess Men's Associa- tion for the contribution which had been originally made in the form of a ha Don't Forget the * Report loan. He acknowledged the receipt of and the promise of the equipping of another room, $560 from the Lions , Club for equipping maternity ward. It is also known that many organiza- tions in the district are still working at the raising of funds to help with the. building and equipping of the roonis, The figure of $600 was men- tioned as the cost of equipping a room. One member of the Board felt that this figure was given as the percent- age cost of the Hospital as a whole, viz. that the total cost of equipping the Hospital would amount to approx- imately $500 per bed. - It was pointed out that each contribution would lower the total cost of the building. The approximate cost of maintenance was believed to be about $8.00 per day per bed, which would in part be helped by Government grants and, it is confi- dently believed by gifts from local organizations. : Some members of the Councils pre- sent had questions regarding the issu- ing debentures which were to be re- ferred to the Municipal Board and the | answers given dircetly to. the Coun- cils concerned. . i Lin. adjourning -the --meeting--Mr- Brooks said' that the Board had gone about asfar.as they could go, and any further progress would be up to the 'communities. He thanked all who had givén their time and money and said that he. _hoped they would sec their way clear to bring the project to com- pletion. Mr. -Les Smith, of Man- chester said that he felt that we had gone too far to turn back and any slacking of our effort at this time would cost us a great deal more than forward progress, | - Port Perry Library Hold Open oh The Library; will "be open to the rivate rooms than have public 'on Friday, October 6th, 8 p.m It was the unanimous | Mr. J.-D, Lucas, K.C., of Toronto will be present to make a presenta- tion of new chairs bequeathed by the | nory |: late Mr. Charles Stewart, in m of the many pleasant. hours | spent i in 'the library. - The Board cordially invite all who are interested to be present and hope many who do not know our Library will avail themselves of this Sppor- | say. tonty to become acquainted.

The few members who did come were unanimous in their' approval and en- thusiasm for the talk of our guest, Miss Joblin, who told of her. life on the Indian Reserve of Caughnawaga near Lachine, Quehéc.. Although she was afraid of boring us, everyone felt disappointed when she stopped with- out finishing all she had planned tof Because of her chatty friendly way of dpeaking. the whole group lived her. various adventures when she récounted them. Once again, thanks Miss Joblin, eR {ge It! was decided to hold: our nxt] meeting in the Presbyterian Church, on October 16th.

Collins, Waldinsperger, Earl Bacon and Gib- son formed the Port intermediate re- lay team. In the junior and senior divisions the best Port entries had to be satis- fied with 'thirds, barring Pallock's so- cond in the junior shot put. Looking into the future; Port Perry boys should have a strong senior entry for next year, but the intermediate and juniors definitely 'do not look too peat that old Brooklin phrase, "Wait til next year" and keep our fingers crossed that the future holds some- .
