the acton ftte hs thursday october silt 1 thanksgiving fvry day ihould be one of thanksgiving m 4 country like this industry ut at important in th town 1 t tn tha citta mattes ontario the ledng manufacturing province in canada with 12000 manufacturing establishments agricul fure is extremely important m this area with good land and willing workers resulting in 180 000 farms with 700 000 people directly iepi dent on them did you know ontario is ttw worlds greatest producer of nickel and canada s greatest gold producing province the population in ontario has more than doubted in trie last 0 yars as more and more realize its polenlialitirs last year we led all ttw provinces m construction of twrw homes with 6 000 new dwellings built ftgures prove that 61 per cent of trve tounsti from the united stales visit ontario trtese figures might be fairly dull about any other province or country but when we realize how lucky we are 1o live in ttie centre of sixh prosperity the statistics are thrilling it weens to lit that we are situated in a wonderful part of ontario too as well as having all the advan tages of town we enjoy tr proximity of the capital of the province and the united states we ere very close to a large airfield to lake ontario to a mam train terminal to many summer resorts and ski lodges at this season it seems as if all the trees bushes and autumn flowers around and in town are alight with the realization of the wonderful country they grow in the sky and cloud and earth seem full of thank sgivmg let us be thank ful too newspaper week this is national newspaper week octoler 1st to 8th when special attention may be turned to the part newspapers play in the life of the com munity the province the nation and world af fairs the service of the weekly newspaper is of coune devoted to the community it serves but that community it often wider than is credited from the small communities go out the men and women who make up the cities and larger cen tres in most cases their home town paper is a welcome visitor each week it is therefore diffi cult to say now far the influence of the home town paper extends beyond the community it serves the home town weekly supplies the news and views about the places end folks with which we ere ell acquainted the intimate news its more than a newspaper because it sup plies magazine features of past and present the weekly newspaper gives a service found in no other periodical and while its circulation figures may not be impressive its reader interest is in tense and found on every page the weekly newspaper keeps pace with the community its pagea and progress are attuned to the advance ment of the community it serves the good news overshadows the items that are purely sensation al as its people are so is the nation and living very close to its people the weekly newspaper has e distinct place in the nation nd in the na tional newspaper week community busy bodies many waaltly rwwipafjor editor are accuied of bttag twofcd to ba successful they actual ly have to be threefaced they have to face their readers and prepare a diet of newt views and features which will entertain and educate suf ficiently to warrant a subscription price of 6c a copy they have to face their advertisers and publish a ournal which will assist in the com mercial growth of each and every business which uses newspaper advertising intelligently and they have to face their community and live and work in it in such a way that the entire distriot will be the better for their life and labor it is no wonder that such threefaced folk are often termed busybodies weekly newspapers and the men and women they employ are in a very real sense employees of the community at large and not ust the town or village in which their printing plant is located but the entire trad ing area urban and rural the prosperity of the newspaper is tied to the prosperity of every local factory every local farm every local store one merchant may fall and another will gain at his expense one fac tory may shut up shop and another competing business be barter off but the health of each element in the community is vital to the health of theoewipaper that is why perhaps you so often find the local editor and the other members of his staff mixed up in to many civic enterprises sewers on schedule for a change something is

the coming term are uch things as soil conservation fori sis farmers working hours medical services pensions mar kets control of production rural education all problems that strike close to life in the farm home and trie grassroots level in ontario these farm forum discussions should doubt less do broaden the thinking of men and women engaged tn agriculture but there n one danger against which listeners should guard the danrjor- thal they may act pt with too little question the opinions expressed by those who take part in the broadcasts instead of weighing those opinions carefully and forming their own conclusions smith falls record news farm identification there was a time when it was quite a simple matter to find the farm and know the owner of most of them m the district but owners of farms have been changing rapidly the past few years and you ust cant stop along the road and get clear direction to the farms cities and many towns found it helpful to put numbers on build ings it was with interest we learned that the dur ham federation of agriculture in cooperation with the farm forums in the county intends of fering attractive yellow and black aluminum identification signs to farmers in durham county absolutely free hung on a farm gale or tacked to a fence post the sign reeds member dur ham federation of agriculture in small letteea below this printing the farmers name is painted in large black scroll we hope the tlan of durham county will spread throughout the province and that halton county will soon have some identification at eji the farm entrances in these days of buyers go ing to the farmers and farmers getting delivery of supplies direct it would be of great conven ience to have a name on every farm even a name on the mail box is helpful but this is not always done editorial notes it s nice that we had indian summer this year especially when the white man s summer was such a dismal failure with the fall fairs over for the season the in door
