page six the tribune stouffville ontario thursday may 18 1939 an interesting court decision some new angle in litigation is constantly being revealed and it is particularly interested to read that the sudbury star published by mr william mason recently sued a man for an account which he refused to pay in the last municipal elec tion this man was a candidate and he inserted an advertise ment in the sudbury star ask ing for support of the voters of that city it happened however that the star favored a slate of officers and it didnt include this mans name so he refused to pay the account claiming that the effect of his advertise ment was nullified when the paper commented adversely on his candidature the paper claimed that were the defendants claim endorsed any candidate could muzzle the press by the simple expedi ent of inserting a paid adver tisement and that the freedom of the press could not thus be overcome it might further be said that the paper could refuse to accept the advertisement if they intended to oppose the candidature of men whose ad vertisements it carried and yet it will be seen that this would be a most arbitrary course to follow it would deny publicity to anyone the paper didnt en dorse as a rule onepaper towns do not select a slate and only rarely do they express a prefer ence for one candidate over an other they print the facts re port the speeches and actions of all candidates and leave the verdict to the people in tor onto however we see the news papers offer slates and devote columns of space to the boosting of favored candidates and of ten men who use the advertis ing column are opposed in the news and editorial columns needless to say the sudbury famed quints doctor exacting autobuyer full quota of accessories stipu lated by dr dafoe

sleet and ice storms and knee- action to ease the car over the rutted and bumpy roads which are the lot of the northern ontario motorist immediately he leaves the pavement the luxury of a motor car radio is not fully appreciated by city motorists dr dafoe contends they have no idea of the clarity and extent of re ception available in the sparse ly settled northern community he says and he himself would never think of driving a car without the latest radio equip ment it was exactly 23 years ago that dr dafoe then an obscure country doctor of whom the world was not to hear for an other eighteen years bought his first chevrolet a 490 and graduated from the horse-and- buggy class through the years he has been as careful in the care of his successive cars as he has been discriminating in their selection despite two yeais of hard service under exacting road and climatic conditions the 1937 chevrolet coach which the doctor turned in on the 1939 model was in first class condition the doctors fastidiousness in mother matters is reflected by his insistence that his new car be given an extra coat of heavy wax to facilitate polish ing and also that seat covers be installed to protect
