"The scarcity of ivory billiard balls in 1868 was the reason for John Wesley Hyatt‘s search for the development of plasâ€" tie®; his billiard ball was the start of the present plastics industry." Well, there now, wasn‘t that enâ€" lightening. And here‘s another smashing item that certainly reâ€" quires no washing up by and ediâ€" tor.

See what I mean â€"you just can‘t ignore the filler. w# ® Well, that flls this space for this week. Ha! so you didn‘t know you used twenty poundes of soap throughout the year, huh? Well, then, that just proves that a filler is not as uscless as it might seem. But there it is, columns and colâ€" umns of fller, telling about the failings of a man named Drew. Now this type of misleading filler cannot be taken lightly, nor can we possibly excuse the Star for such unpardonable journalism ubout the future Prime Minister of Canada. There‘s one thing about it though, they will have plenty of filler on the leader of the opposâ€" ition partyâ€"to say nothing of picâ€" On second thought perhaps we really do not like this type, and should stick with more informative stuff such as the fact that ever since man ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge he has been out on a limb. as it did us, but nevertheless there they are using filler right on the front page. Horrors, this indeed is a grave injustice to the newsâ€" paper trade. Yen, the filler plays an important role. Be sure to look for the fillers and read them just for the kicks, Personally we should like to see something more concrete in the newspaper filler, and the closest we have come to realizing this in the past few weeks is by reading the Toronto Daily Star.
