It is rather a phase of a much larger freedom --the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in a democracy, but freedom of the press is freedom; because, under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the infor- mation he needs to judge the actions of his rulers and make up his mind on public issues. Without newspapers, or with only gagged and blindfolded ones, he is in the dark, and helpless. An unfettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic world. v2 KB any proof be needed, it is provided by the record of the Fascist and Nazi dictatorships. Rigid control of all sources of public information, and especially of newspapers, was the corner-stone upon which those regimes were founded. Without it, they could never have held power. With it, they could do as they pleased, to the eventual ruin of their own peoples as well as much of the rest of the world. : Chis disastrous chapter of history should provide a warning against any attempt, by governments or by private interests, to restrict the essential freedom of the press. A free people must stand on guard not only against direct censor- ship, but also against more insidious encroachments. Nominal freedom is not enough. The only truly free press is one which can record the news faithfully and comment on it frankly, without fear of direct or indirect punishment. Neither the press nor the public is safe with anything less than this. . Hil liberty, of course, involves obligations. The obligation of a free press is to be truly free. It must be thorough, accurate and unbiased in its reporting, sincere and thoughtful in its editorials, and resistant to all outside pressure. It must be both cautious and bold -- cautious until it knows all the facts, bold when it is sure of its ground. It must, above all, be inspired by devotion to t welfare as its staff understands it. public ) uch a newspaper is worthy. of the privileges which the English-speaking peoples have traditionally granted to their press. Such a newspaper is also the best guardian of the liberties of the people, Prepared by the Canadien Dally Newspapers /Assoclation LOCAL RADIO GLUB CO-OPERATES IN FLYING CLUB SHOW Set Up and Operated Com- plete Network of Communications Oshawa's recently organized North Shore Radio Club aided the Ontario County Flying Club in a most efficient manner, last week- end during their first Annual Air Show. The members of radio club headed by their comimittee, compos= ed of Doug. Hinton, Ve3AZG, and Joe Blanchett, Ve3BAD, set up and operated a complete network of communications which served the visiting members of out-of-town clubs in a manner demonstrating to everyone that the radio amateur has a definite service to offer to the community. In the short space of three weeks the committee arranged a network of amateur radio stations from Montreal on the east to Windsor and Chatham in the west. These stations, all operated by amateur radio operators who spent their holiday week-end at their own transmitters, kept a steady stream of messages pouring into the sta- tion set up in the control tower at the flying field. : A station located at the: head- quarters of the Canadian Amateur Radio Operators Assn., in Toronto, acted as the control station relaying to the operators here in Oshawa in- formation on the arrival and depar- ture of planes as gathered from the outlying stations. This network was at all times able to provide the local Flying Club with up to the minute reports on weather in any area of Ontario. The efficiency was brought to the notice of the crowdrgathered, when Pat Patterson, the shows M.C., announced over the P.A. system that the North Shore Radio Club had notified the control officer that seven, Tiger Moths from the Ottawa Flying Club would arrive in ten minutes. At the end of ten minutes almost to the second the Ottawa planes arrived, proving to those of the crowd of visitors that "Ham" Radio could deliver the messages with the necessary accuracy and speed. Perhaps the most notable effort of the Radio Club was just after the most unfortunate accident. Almost the first to arrive at the plane far out on the field was a radio equip~ ped "Jeep". This mobile equipment provided the rescue workers with a direct link to the tower officials and served to relay the information that a doctor was needed saving time that it would have taken for a car to have gone in to the tower to carry the message. The "Jeep" also carried a fire extinguisher just in case it had been needed. The "Jeep" was loaned to the club by Norman Irwin of Red Wing Orchards, Whitby, who incidently is a prominent amateur radio operator himself. He holds the call sign Ve3 LW, During Sunaay afternoon the Jeep Station operated as a remote pickup for the P.A. system, describ- ing the take-off of the glider flights which were flown from the far end of the field. Also on Monday the operator in the Jeep was able to interview the glider pilots as they stepped out of their ships. The vehicle was able to pass the results of the contests along to the contest officials. Another field transmitter and receiver was in operation until the inclement weather made it un- necessary, so it was torn down and brought back to the hanger. A great deal of preparation was necessary in order to insure proper and efficient operation of the net |. and portable stations. The commit- tee of two were more than ably supported by the club members who assisted in the erection of antennas and various other pieces of equip- ment. The following members were on hand and due to their efforts a very important duty was performed in a most notable manner: Ted Brant (VESADD); Jack Elston (VE- 3AKB); Lorne Doreen (VE3SZ); Jack Warburton (VE3ARI); Eddie Warburton (VE3AZV); Richard Charlton (VE3AZS); Mike Dzend- rowski (VE3AGT); Em Hicks (VE- 3AFI); Wally Colton (VE3QO); Mel Riddell (VE3QU); Milt Graham (VE3QN) ; Ron Reid (VE3BJF); Al- bert Jackson (VE3AHJ); Cliff But- ler (VE3AXM); Jack Snider (VE- 3ABV); Earl Fowler (VE3AZT); Jim Doble (VE3ACC); Walter An- terson (VE3AAZ); Ron Wragg (ex "VE3SRM); Al Brown, Tom Crooks, Ross Butler, Bob Drummond, Joe Blanchétt (VE3BAD; Doug Hinton (VE3AZG), The amateurs who handled the messages in their home towns de- serve special mention as they in all likelihood gave up a two day gest in order to give the service rendered.

Five applications for water ser- vices in East Whitby Township '| were approved by the commission. Two of the services are on Buena Vista and of the others, one new service will be located on Rosehill Boulevard and Elmgrove Avenue. George F. Shreve, Manager of the Commission, explained that the Water Committee in the Township has agreed to list the applications in order of priority before they are submitted to the council, This is of great assistance in the doing of the work. Feeling that it would be in the best interests of the Commission to provide for further expansion, the manager was authorized to place the orders for the materials which '| will be required when the new pow- er line from Ritson Road and Sim- coe Street to the pumping station is finally ready for construction, It was stated that even if the orders are placed at once that it will be from three to six months before de- livery will be made. In receipt of a letter from the City Council relative to the making of water and electric connections, the Commission decided to forward a reply asking if it is the intention of council to refuse such connect- fons where there is now sewer con- nection. It was felt that the letter from the City was not specific and iy the situation should be clari- fed.

Hurlbert Is| Guest Soloist With Osh- awa Regimental and Civ- ic Band Thursday Night At Memorial Park On Thursday evening, at the Mo- Laughlin Band Shell, . Memorial Park, before a large and apprecia- tive audience, the Oshawa Regimen- tal and Civic Band presented its first concert since its triumphant return from Waterloo, where it took first place in - the brass section (Class 1), of the first post-war band festival and concert. ; Prior to the commencement of the concert, Acting Mayor A. Gordon Davis congratulated the musicians on their successes in the contests at Waterloo. He said also that they consistently "bring home the bacon" in the form of high honors for the City of Oshawa, and thanked Band. master Jack Broadbent and the members of the band in the name of the citizens. Acting Mayor Davis then intro- duced the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, Captain Robert Cole- man, Director of Recreation for the Community Rescreation Associa- tion of Oshawa and District. The band chose as its first se- lection of the evening a stirring and invigorating march, "Sons of the Brave" by J. Orde Hume, This they dedicated to our "Good Neighbors" to the south, the American people, in honor of their Independence Day. "Memories of No Following this was heard "Mem- ories of Mozart", a collection of ex- cerpts from some of Mozart's most famous compositions, which includ- ed selections from the "Jupiter Symphony", "The Magic Flute", and excepts from Mozart's last opera. "The Marriage of Figaro", arranged for brass band by W. Rimmer. This work was magnificently performed, the band at times attaining the magnitude and tonal richness of a full symphony orchestra, for which these works were originally scored, the delicate phrasing of the pianis- simo passages making a striking contrast to the massiveness of the heavy, ponderous fortissimo phrases. Held Audience Spellbound The vocal guest of the evening was Mrs. H. C. Hurlbert, soloist of 8t. Andrew's United Church, who was accompanied on the piano: by Walter H, Jackson, organist and choirmaster of King Street United Church. For her first offering, Mrs. Hurlbert sang "An Irish Lullaby" by J. R. Shannon, aad for the second half of her first group of songs, "The Bells of St. Mary's, by A. Adams. Both these numbers were attended by the unusual--perfect silence from the audience. If the ability to hold an audience spell- {bound is the mark of a truly great artist, then Mrs, Hurlbert is such,' Her tone, diction, phrasing and expression were superb. The band's next selection was e special treat, their contest number, "Lurline", by Wallace. If the man- mer in which it was played resemb- led its presentation at Waterloo, there is no question as to why the band was awarded the first prize. 'The presentation of this selection was a masterpiece of musical artis- try. The cornet solo was played by Tom Broadbent; the euphonium solo by Wm. Askew; and the trom. bone solo by Jack Lee. The respec- tive soloists played with amazing technique. Followed a Xylophone solo, "Pig~ gly Wiggle", composed by ©. Barrol, and played by Musician J. Wa) " This was a gay piece, with a Bg, rollicking air that spread glous feeling of frivolity ar out the listening audience. The next selection was a vi descriptive piece, entitled, "The in the Dale", by S. Cope. It portrays the picture of the Miller going to work through the meadow listening to the birds in the early morning. The Mill Wheel is started and the villagers are heard singing happily while they work. A novel presenta- tion, in which the band members sang and whistled, thus proving that they are musically accom- plished in more ways than on their instruments.
