here in the last lev have always main tained that these people do not become consumers in the Can adian sense of the word as soon in Wily are added to our popu lation Many not all of them have to go through a period of adjustment but as soon as they adjusted as soon as they are buying wearing arid eating as their do they will increase among other things the attendance at the the number of pairs of shoes sold and the number of quarts of milk consumed Almost everybody earns en ough money to pay for more dairy products the shortage of farm labor is an Indication few people are out of work If a

Thursday at Charles St Newmarket by he Newmarket Era and Express Limited Subscription for two years for one year In advance Single copies are each Member of Class A Weeklies of Canada Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association and the A Bureau of Circulations Authorised at Second Class Mall Post Office Department Ottawa Caroline Ion John Struthera Managing Editor Women Editor George Hatkett Sports Editor Lawrence Racine Job Printing and Production THE EDITORIAL PAGE STRANGE DOINGS rg One of Ontarios finest weekly papers has been hav ing more than its share of b 1 in the past two months The a is The Newmarket Era and Ex press Only parts of that stony have been told The full details would undoubtedly be interesting but out siders can find out only what is printed and that is just enough to whet the curiosity The Newmarket paper is over 100 years old The Era was founded in and used to be owned by An drew Hebb The other paper The ExpressHerald was owned by the family famous Liberals Sir William became Chief Justice but before that he was in the cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Colonel PMulock was PostmasterGeneral in Mackenzie Kings cabinet The two Newmarket papers amalga mated in but Mr couldnt buy out Colonel Mulock He felt its independence was being handicap ped so he sold out and took another job We dont recall that the paper took much part in politics but ob viously it could not oppose the Liberals Five weeks ago the building housing The Era and Express was rued with much of the equipment That was a bad blow but the staff carried on nobly with the aid of other offices in the district Thats not easy The editor J and staff hoped to buy out the paper when the decided not to carry on hut it was announced that the paper had been sold to A defeated Conservative candidate at the last election and apparently expecting to be candidate again He also owns an interest in The Aurora Banner and in The Sutton Reporter Obviously the complete story wont appear in those papers Then came word that Editor and the staff had A few days later that was revised again The staff would go back and would ha allowed to boy percent of the shares in the paper That wouldnt be enough to give them control of its policies makes the story more however Obviously there is more in the background than a fire What goes on Dont they like becoming a of another news paper chain 1 NOT SO STRANGE No we would not becoming part of another newspaper chain and we are not part one Thai is why the staff returned to the Era and Express We have Just returned from a few holidays which have us from an asylum after our troubles of the past two month and we have just now read I he above Fer gus editorial which re printed in thj Examiner Possibly it has been reprinted in OUR SIDE OF THE STORY other papers We have always enjoyed the editorials of the Fer gus newspaper and respect the editor for his fearless expression of opinions For this reason we think he and others should have a candid reply There were several factors which resulted in the staff quitting One was a suggestion after the paper was sold to Mr C A that eventually the Era and Express the Aurora Banner and the Sutton Re porter be printed in one central plant We do not know where the central plant was to be located There would be moneysaving advantages in a centra plant On the other hand there were reasons associated with tradition and sentiment against it During the week following the sale staff morale was not at its highest the staff previously had submitted an offer of purchase but it was not as high as Mr Cathers the staff first learned of the sale not from the former owner but from the purchaser the editor was concerned about editorial independence the kind which the editor of the Fergus enjoys And in the minds of the editor and staff there were questions about the actual control of policy Although supposedly independent papers would be printed at the central plant would the control come from Aurora or Newmarket Having had hopes Tor a staffowned paper and with morale low the mem bers decided thai more satisfying endeavors might be found elsewhere What made the members to work on the Monday was a promise by Mr that the Era would have its own plant and would continue operating as it always has done along independent lines Shares up to percent were offered for sale to the staff In all respects the staff members received what they want ed although they had no intentions of putting Mr over a barrel There would be no possibility of the tail Aurora Banner with circulation between and wagging the dog Era and Express with cir culation over We have nothing against the Ban ner In fact we recognize the improvements made in it during the past few years It has won numerous awards in its class Awards of course mean prestige among newspaper people they do not moan so much to the readers We wish the Banner good luck and maintain that two newspapers can maintain a friendly competition Mr incidentally has a percent interest in the Aurora paper A number of Aurora aw district citizens also have interests in that paper As for policy the editor of the Era and Express could not live with his conscience if he did not feel thai he had complete editorial independence The day he does not have thai he will no longer be here We hope we have satisfied the curiosity of the Fergus editor and others from till over
