The Press Serves Public It seems that too many people fail to re alize or understand why press representativ or attend meetings There is more import ant objective than just getting the news which of course is important Any body or group of people who is supposed to be serv ing on civic body or community groups of various kinds should expect and usuallywel come the press There is tendency on the part of some to hamstring the press by prefaclng their re marks with This is not for publication Often said with tone of finality We think there is danger of using this sentence too often and on occasions when it is neither fair nor warranted There is also danger of forgetting that the press is serving the pub lic interest not the whims of any individual The Bowmanvllle Statesman points out The press attends meetings with the ob jective of placing an accurate and unbiased account of local happenings before its read ers It should be realized that story writ ten by an experienced reporter is certainly much more accurate than the street rumors that get circulating The reporter is repre senting more than the paper whose repre sentative he is He represents the public who are not present at meetings but who still have every right toknow what is going on if it concerns the public interest Reports of closed meetings get around any way and every relayer usually has differ ent version of what happened The press can usually be relied upon to report fairly and accuratelyand with discretion if circum stances seem to warrant The Maple Moves On Back in the days when people built three storey houses the family pride was usually towering Canadian maple on the broad front lawn Often the father had planted it himself and he took pride in watching it grow and flourish while the family increased and prospered Nowadays however the lordly maple on the Jawn is thing of the past especially where the family is just getting established The other day landscape architect Ed ward Wood gaVe the Ottawa Horticultural SOCietysomerof the reasons for the change Wonderful as big tree looked beside one of the mansions cf the horseandbuggy age it is simplyrout of place beside todays five room bungalow The modern lot is so small that no space could be found for anything much larger than lilac bush Besides tree that stretched to the skyas the oldtime ones did would make bungalow look like dolls house Mr Wood suggested the time has come to get away from sentimental attachment to the tree of Canadas national emblem as aland scaping fixture squat Russiandeveloped variety of maple is better than the Canadian One be cause it does not grow high he said Another tree knowu as Russian olive was another good bet The Japanese lilac shrub filled in cornerand made good showing But did that mean Canadas magnificent maple forsomany years her pride and joy was to bebanished from the scene of its former triumphs Far from it said Mr Wood The place for the nativegranule should bealongthe high

OPINIONS OF OTHERS What Other Profession Has Job Like Medical St Marys JournalArgus baby was sick this morning The doctor was called and if being an early hour he was probably not out of bed Yet In matter of minutes be came in the back door of the house and within very short time his calm reassurance combined with his fine knowledge of human ills had changed the picture completely in that household On thinking about this we could not help but be forcibly reminded of the wonderful everyday service our local medical men render to the people of this community When you call the plumber the painter or any household servicemen you do mostly get response in the line of good service but what person would think of calling anyone but the doctor in the mid dle of lime night and expecting him to be on hand immediately We have heard it related this way When called the doctor that night expected he might be little annoyed or perhaps not anxious to come at that hour but despite being waked up from sleep his voice was as reassuring as at anyiime He simply said if you want me Ill come right away What other profession in the world does job like this Rummage Sales Full Swing Gravcnhurst Banner This is the season of the year when all men stand good chance of losing their extra trousers socks or even underwear For this is the time of rummage sales All over the country halls and Sunday Schools are stocked with the odds and usually unusable ends of many homes and sold for charitable purposes For the most part these flings at merchandising by the women are put on to benefit the poor The history of these affairs is obscure but they have been going on in this country for so long that they are now as much port of spring as housecleaning Because of the nobility of cause we condoncthe rummage sale even though through them you might find half of your last years summer clothes given away But we believe the rummage sole of value also in that it gives every woman in town chance to sell her old junk and buy her neighbors old junk Woman having no resistance to what could be bargain always buys even at her own rummage sales Then next spring she realizes that the stuff is Junk so she donates it again to besold That way it is quite conceivable that one woman could eventually own for year the ju of every house in tOWn if she lived long on Its undoubtedly true that every woman has some of the huckster inher That is why rummage sales are so ably manned Although chances are that roost of the women of group will be too busy to aid in serving pot luck dinner they are never too busy to aid in selling at rummage sale This is so that they can give special care to the getting rid of last years purchase which has been haunting them allwintcr Bracebridge Courageous Slop Huntsville

the girl in red lights who used to put her head in the lions mouth or the other one who would wind mile or so of venomous reptile around her neck or the one who stood up against board wall and had knives thrown all around her Wheres the fellow who had an apple shot off his head like William Tell or the one who divcd from the top of the tent into tank of real water or the really funny clowns They used to tell some good jokes toosome of them you even yet come across in mud crn comic journals occasionallyor on the radio We didnt have the looptheloop then simply because there were no automobiles to make cm in by the performers And all the time we were occupy ing favored place on the soft side of blue painted plank with our feet dangling over the edge with bag of peanuts or pink popcorn in one hand and great big chunk of Jumbo laffy in the other And those sideshows Remember how we used to stand for an hour before those big canvas walls in front of the row of sideshow tents gazing at the flaming pictures until we had decided on which oneiwc would invest our money Andaf tor we had seen the fat woman or the tatooed man the Circasslian lady glass cater sword swallower or some other special favorite and had compared notes with the other boys who had seen something we hadnt each of us wished he had seen the other thing instead And the sawdust we used to kick up as We

the crowd while the keeper pacified the old trump eter And all the while the trainers or keepers in gold lace and braided coals with short whips or thongs in their hands out within the cages or along side their charges to our aweE and admiration And the grand concert which alwaysfollowed each performance tickets for whith were always one dime ten cents The audience was herded into one section of the seats for this And who doesnt remember each one of those most popular tunes at thoseiaffairs and which carried rhythmic lilting accompaniment Which only one of thosereal old circus Worlds Greatest

standing loadcr for their cause He is president of the Canadian Pence Congress Communist Front or ganization which supports the red line whatever it may be Dr En dicott was relieved some time ago of his ministerial rights by the United Church of Canada The article by Mr Morris uses quotations and information from the above source to support the view that the church is playing an important part in the Russian so ciety This has no support from any facts or information available from any reliable source church or its representatives which cannot express its opposition to the state on persecutions fixed trials slave labor and the disregard of basic human rights is church in name only The church under these condi tions is in effect dead regardless of deep religion which exists in the hearts of some of its people The church can only be considered to exist again in the society when its actions or opinions are not suppressod by dictatorial stale as exists in Russia and her satellites The opinions expressed by Mr Morris are more shocking when taken in the light ofrecent perse cutions of representatives of both the Protestant and Catholic Church in Communist China and European countries
