Minimum Wage As Industrial Hourly Rate Observe Young Canada Book Week At Library PLAY VITAL PART As is the case with many items which are at our fingertips from day to day the newspaper is looked upon as quite com monplace is taken for granted with little thought about the efforts made by those at the paper to present news and pic tures of interest to the area Daily and weekly newspapers play a much more important part in folks lives than they generally realize and no one is more conscious of his place of trust in the social scheme than a good newspaper man Therefore it hurts just a little to hear thoughtless readers criticize news papers for inaccuracies or accuse them of making up stories or even express dis pleasure because some particular item did not appear when expected Along with the hurt however comes 13day workshop was held recently at University Ottawa This workshop was for secondary school teachers and during the session the value of newspapers was emphasized Indeed one English teacher from Winnipeg said that schools should make a much broader use of newspapers It would appear from this comment that newspapers also have a place in help ing students along the road to the use of better English as well as the already established value of keeping people in formed on current events Because the human element is al ways in the preparation of news for presentation in the newspaper errors can and do creep in sometimes in the most unexpected places Perhaps all newspapers should gain some solace in this regard by noting what one editor said some time ago We are pleased to have our newspaper consid ered a home journal with a readership of various age groups Because some people take a delight in catching others in error we include some for we desire to cater in some way to all tastes Maybe this newspaperman had the ability to roll with the punches probably a trait many of us could cultivate to ad vantage TRAGIC DISUNITY One of the most tragic and senseless examples of a solid object and immovable forces appears to be rearing its ugly head within the confines of our Canadian Par liament at Ottawa when we find the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Op position ready to go to the country and spend more millions on an election which If a poll were taken interests the average Canadian but vaguely If an election could be the result of a disagreement on raising the salaries of by thousands at one fell swoop or the question of lowering the burden of taxation by a drastic slashing of over lapping departments we might agree that it might clear the air but to allow yet another election over cither the flag issue or because the opposition feels it can take advantage of a chance to halt the governments money supply would be about the easiest way to wreck what little unity Canada has left Surely neither putty could gain from this action The big public relations sys tems of both parties might be able to stir some of the voters Into concern over either matter hut we feel the average voter would feel a few twinges of disgust and apprehension that he should be asked to spend his money time and thought on something that he was alreadv a supposedly responsible government and opposition to do for htm KIDS TAKE A BOW A letter received this week from a reader was one that is a pleasure to read and in it the writer commends the be haviour of the younger people in his locality on Halloween night Remise this type of letter is notoriously scarce in this day rind age some appreciation should also be voiced to the writer A short time ago members of the locfil Teen Town suggested through the at thcii dance an indi cation we would think that the general conduct is at a level which would be generally accepted as satisfactory This could be an appeal for adults to take more interest in the Teen Town pro grams but it still remains obvious that the invitation would not have been issued if the teenagers felt their dances would leave them open to criticism The situ ation what it is those in charge of these activities should be encouraged and congratulated Reverting again to Halloween it was a pleasant experience to have the local police report that the night resulted in no acts of vandalism with most being content to dressing up in the manner Judging by reports from a few other centres Newmarkets youth can feel gratified with their record and take a bow for their contribution to the repu tation of the town WHY WEAR A POPPY Please wear a poppy the lady said And held one forth but I shook my head Then I stopped and watched as she them there And her face was old and lined with care But beneath the scars the years had There remained a smile that refused to Our Readers Write playing Ray Goodfellow a Office Specialty team

it on he turned to siy Why do we wear a poppy today The lady smiled in her wistful way And answered This is Remembrance Hay And the poppy there is the symbol for The gallant men who died war And because they did you and I are free Thats why we wear a poppy you see I had a boy about your size With golden hair and big blue eyes He loved to play and jump and shout Free as a bird he would race about As the years went by he learned and grew And became a man as you will too He was fine and strong with a boyish But hed seemed with us such a little while When war bloke out and he went away 1 still remember his face that day When he smiled and said Goodbye Ill be back soon Mom so please dont cry But the war went on and he had to And all could do was wait and pray His letters told of the awful fight I can see it still in ray dreams at night With the tanks and guns and the cruel barbed wire And the mines and bullets the bombs Till at last at last the War was won And thats why we wear a poppy son The small boy turned as if to go Then said Thanks lady Im glad to know But your son did he come back all right A tear rolled down each faded cheek She shook her head but didnt speak I slunk away in sort of shame And if you were me youd have done the same For our in giving ia oft delayed Though our freedom was bought and thousands paid And so when we see a poppy worn Let reflect on the
