Entries were submitted from coast to coast and below is the winner's entry, Aline Chan from Renfrew, Ontario. Life for a newcomer can be boring and lonely in a strange society where every- one knows everyone else... except little ol' you. That's how it was for me, newly arrived to the small com- munity of Deep River...but the estrangement did not last long. Not when' upon insis- tence, a neighbour in the building landed me with a bundle of discarded North Renfrew Times. My sub- scription to the paper started that week and it opened up to me a whole new world of entertainment, sports and local news. Through this paper, 1 learned of night classes at the local high school where 1 made lasting friendships. 1 was at the same time, in a pregnancy dilema - no close friends or relatives to ease my expectant days except a husband who was at work all day. But an article concern- ing prenatal classes helped to introduce me to an armful of women in the same condi- tion - waiting for the little - 'one no longer was an endless series of doubtful days. I was able to read about the intricate patterns of the local town council; voice a plea, for a new water-treat- ment plant and when I heard people talking about 'an outrageous swimming pool' or the new hospital building plans, I was able to put in my penny's worth.

The North Renfre Times, the radio and the TV are great forms of entertainment and companionship while one is 'accomplishing household drudgery. Besides this the Paper kept us up-to-date on every upcoming music ship, drama or poetry presenta- tion. As we were just furnishing our home, the 'want ads' provided us with sources of innumerable items. Also, on Wednesdays, when the paper is distributed it is not uncom- mon to see fellow housewives shopping in local grocery stores armed with the sales merchandise section of the paper. One item I would not like to see eliminated is the weekly picture on the editorial page -"it always depicts a local scene, either painting, sketch or drawing, which I would cut out and enclose with letters overseas. The paper, however should be congratulated on its fine artwork, layout and swell of: excellent reporters and staff. It tries to be represented at almost every event taking place in town and emulates the good aspects of a big city newspaper. "When 1 first came to this tion.
