newspapers seek to remind themselves as well as their readers of the arreat traditions of to the community lion and to the cause of human freedom which Is their heritage History has recorded the achievements of many famous newspapermen who fought and won the battle for Freedom or the Press on both aide the Atlantic One of the best known on this continent was Benjamin Franklin who equally for his newspaper work as for Inventive genius and his achievements as an American statesman Canadian history was profoundly affected by men as George Brown of the old Toronto Globe and William Lyon Mackenzie to mention only two whose names are familiar to student Freedom of the was as Important as life Itself to these men ami to many others who gained pro- minence in national affairs because of their high principles In the newspaper profession There have been thousands of other relatively obscure editors and publishers who have added their influence on a local or community level to maintain those noble traditions Our pioneer forefathers were a shrewd and hardy group of people who opened up this country In search of freedom and opportunity Every town of any soon had lis own little weekly paper and few new businesses were quite as welcome to the early settlers The potential usefulness of a newspaper In and directing public opinion along progressive lines was quickly recognized by pioneer citizen In most frontier towns the appearance of a local newspaper soon resulted In a growing community spirit based on more widespread knowledge of community affairs It helped to define and clarify objectives by holding up to the light of public opinion the most pressing problems of the day National Newspaper Week honors these pioneer weekly editors as well as the nationally and Internationally famous writers and editors The pioneer days are gone but the newspaper and Its Influ ence for progress and development remains The opportunity for leadership ant encouragement of worthy enterprise is still a challenge And the response is as great today as It ever was Canadas weekly newspapers are proud of their effect on community life Their high Ideals have not changed They

beef from the West j potatoes from Maritimes I milk from Quebec cheaper we can produce it here Someone should remind the smart people on Parliament Hill and Queens Park of the warning of one of the sages Wherever you look through history you will find that nations broke down upon the farm when any nat ion breaks down upon the farm it breaks down everywhere In the current electoral battle south of the border for example I noticed the accent which is be- in- placed by both President and Stevenson upon the fact that the US farm er is the exception to the a rule of urban prosperity It is true that in according to j the experts only per cent of the US population is on the ions farms and that percent i of the people arc ployed in the secondary fatluring transportation process- ing and service industries along the pavements This latter trend of course is not copyrighted our southern neighbors According to my road ing of the editorial and news col- the same tumultuous drift toward urbanization is proceed ing in Canada I have not the brethren that is in the terms of their net income but I sense real farm brethren are being under paid for their essential services danger in the following data from at any rate south of the line one of the farm columnists sur veying the American scene It is officially estimated that US ag ricultures net income represents Just per cent of the national in come yet more than 12 per cent of the US population is still down on the farm No one needs to be an econom ist to sec through the smog of I would be surprised if the Canadian story would
