JTIW IsZ th. 19M1 ED>7ORIALS Survey of Special Interest to Local Merchants District merchants will be particula:-lv interested in an announcement on page five of this issue showing the resuits of a readership survey made recently of The Canadian Statesmaf, by an'-independent group. This survey was conducted by Ryer- son students of journalism, Toronto, ta determine readership reading habits, and identity of the reading audience in the trading area of Bowmanville served by The Statesman. It will probably be a revelation and surprise ta many of our merchants, as well as our readers, to know how thoroughlv The Canadian Statesman covers the cammunity. This intensive research showed in t he entire trading area of Bow- manville that The Statesman had a circu- lation of 84.7 per cent of the homes. In the town itself readership was recorded for 94 per cent af the homes. In adjacent Darlington Township it was 86 per cent. We have been told by those who inake a study of such surveys that this is one of the highest coverages in circulation of any weekiy newspaper in Canada. Naturally, as publishers of The States- mali. we are proud ai such an outstanding accomplishment, and are happy ta share Up the honor with aur efficient staff, which includes aur loyal rural correspondents. For the circulation of this paper has nat been buîlt up by high pressure methods, such as circulation contests, premiums, cut-rate subscriptions, or other give-away methods. The growing popularity of The Statesman has been well merited by filling its columns each week with local and personal items and happenings that are flot found in other newspapers. This is flot an easy task when this district is sur- rounded by provincial dailies and not overlooking the three metropolitan Toron- ta dailies which ail keep our staff on their toes in supplying aur readers a superb local news service. This excellent coverage ai local news, which creates intensive readership, is one of the reasons why a local weekly news- paper is considered one ai the best media for advertisers. If further proof ai this statement is required it will be found in the large amount of local and national advertising which appears each week in The Statesman. Pardon 'us for making this "plug" for The Statesman, but it is so seldom we blow aur own horn! Go Freight Rates Again On Manday the Transportation Com- missioners announced they had granted an increase in railway freight rates. Whether we like it or not, warns The Financial Post,' pretty soon we are going ta be forced ta take a new and a hard and a long look at this whole railway business. We are simply not gaing ta be able ta con- tinue passing increased costs along. ,Long aga, the railways discovered that there is a limit as ta what the consumer will pay for moving freight by rail. Already a lot of stuif that used ta be moved entirely by rail now goes by truck or ship or thraugh a pipeline. And the higher rail freight rates are hoisted the rpore busijiess wilfg go tacompetitors. The railways know ahl about this buit under the present setup they cannot de mnuch about it. They are nat free agents, not by any means. In effect they are told what they must pay f or labour and their f reight rates, minimum and maximum, are controlled by a government board. Some of them in f act, like grain are con- trolled by a rigid agreement that goes back to aur grandf athers' time, when wages were a fraction ai those that must be paid today and when the cost ai a whole train was little more than what a good box car costs naw. Times have changed and changed greatly in the railway business. Once these carriers had almost an absolute monopoly ai the transportation business. They have nat anything like a monopoly today. But we are stili trying ta run the railwavs in the some aId straightjacket of 25 or 50 years aga. We cannot continue to, do sa much longer. -The County Town officials at Cobourg seem all het .up over the Home for the Aged being moved ta Port Hope. They are alsa peeved at the counties erecting their own building and thus losing $5,500 annually in rental ai the town hall. Now, accarding ta a press release on page eight from Cobourg, the Corporation is threaten- ing ta withdraw irom the United Counties. Such an attitude is on a par with a spoiled child getting the smaîl end ai a llipop.

A man can be out.- every night attending some type ai arganization and stili not attend all the f unctions he should in order ta be a loyal member oi them ahi. Now it would appear that the women of Bowmanville are getting ta be as greathy organized as the men. The wonder is how the ladies can attend toalah their clubs and organizations and also carry out the duties af housewives, but they do il. The women have their private social clubs, their Women's Institute, Business & Profession- Fror a long time a cantroversy was going on in the press that smoking caus- ed cancer.

James, M.P. Who Won The Debate? As this is being written, the debate an the Pipe Line bas con- cluded but the enmities will live on for same time an Par- liament Hill. Undoubtedly, the Libenals and Social Crediters won the Pipe Line battle but, temporanily, the Cansenvatives and CCF have won on the pro- paganda front. Quite natunally we Liberals hope that once the facts seep through ta the pub- lic this temparary advantage af the opposition will be dispelled. Recalis C.P.R. Days One Durham country old tim- er nefused ta get excited about what so many were suggesting was a new violence in Canadian po0li tre s. He could necail the days afiSSm John A. Macdonald's hectic efforts ta build the C.P.R. At that time. there were dem- onstrations in a.lmost every town and fan more excitement on a widespread scale than was generated by the Pipe Line. As he tells it, the Liberals were just as strong in their apposi- tion and as bitter as the Con- servatives are today under George Drewý%. Don't Calil Me "Tory" There was an intcresting de- velapmnent in Parliament this week. General George Peankes, V.C., speaking on tlh.e censure motion against Mr. Speaker, be- rated the Minister ai Finance, WaltenrHarris, for calling Her Majesty's Loyal opposition nias- ty names at least seven times during his speech. The mild- mannened genenal became quite excited as he warmed up ta his subject until we were sitting on thie edge ai aur chairs trying ta recail the terrible names Mn. Harris was supposcd ta have called them. A loud roan broke out as the general revealed that he objected ta being called a "Tory" înstead of the proper name of Progressive Conserva- tive. Ever since V've been in the House ai Commans, speak- ers on bath sides have been re- ferring ta Gnits and Tories, but this was the first time anyone took sucin violent objection to the tenms. Apparently. the eanly history oi the name Tory is not com plimien tary. The Song ai the WhiPs Fve been wondening how long it will be until the newspapers return ta their periodic comn- plaint about absenteeism amnong Members af Parliament. When they run out ai news, this is always a chaice subject. Lately, we have seen no mention af it because practically ail members ai ail parties have been held in Ottawa by their interest in the debate and thraugh the ef- forts ai the panty Whips.

He ne-. plied, -0Ç, Corme Ail Ye Faith- 1 fui". 1 A Pipe Unte Casualty One ai the saddest and mast tragic event af the wveck was the death ai a goad fieind, the menther irom Vancouver-Bur- rard, B.C., Dr. John L. Macdou- gail. It happened on Wednes-c day. the day after we had stay-i cd in the Hanse until three inr the morning before third nead- ing ai the Pipe Line bill was aoproved. Jack sta.yed with us until the House adjourned ai-î tiiough he was pliysically innoa condition ta stand such an or-' deal. When the belis rang ta open the Wedncsday aiternoon session, his wife headed toward the gallcry entrance at the front ai the building and hie started for the Chamber plan- ning ta, use anc ai the rear cie- vatons and visiting the wash- room. an the way. He was iound there by friends a few minutes later beyond medical help. Ris great heant had finally stopped. Jack was an inspiration toaal ai us. A first war vet, hie still carried a great deal ai shrapnel in his body, suffered from dia- betes and had been hospitalized several times for heart seizures. lIn spite ai his afflictions, hie war anc ai the most cheenful men I've encountered. The Ifouse was s0 shacked by his passing that the Prime Minister's almost unprecedented suggestion that the House adjourn for the bal- ance of the day was universally accepted wîthout question. Many Hospltalized The list ai casualties during the tense debate has been ex- tensive and may not yet be concluded. Included were J. M. Macdonnell, Cansenvative fi - nancial cnitie, ',ho, still is in hospita] from a stomach ail- ment, the Minîster ai Justice Mn. Garson who was aperated on for a liver camplaint, How- ard Green who fainted in the, parliamentary restaurant, Dr. Trainor fromn Winnipeg who returned ta the House aiter ne- covering fnam a heart attack and two days later again went ta haspital aiten a mild scizune and Henry Hosking from Guelph, my seat mate, who xvent ta, hospital on Fniday with stam- ach trouble. By the time I ne- turn on Monday, At would not be surprising if thene wcre sev- eral others under medical cane. For that kind af debate mem- bers should be in excellent phy- sical condition.. Seriaus Tactical Errar? On Friday, the motion ai censure against Speaker Rene Boudain was disposed ai. Mr. Drew had nyved it after the hectice vent ofaithe previaus week. Liberals, Social Crediters and one Independent voted against the motion while the Conservatives and CCFrs voted solidly for it. It may have been coincidental tkat about haîf of the Consenvatives were absent at voting time. While regrettîng the entire affain which. certain- ly will not make the conduet ai the natian's business any easier, several long-tume poli- ticians feel that Mn. Drew made a seriaus tactical error in sponsoring the mation. Ris par- ty was making a certain amount ai headway in Quebec an 1 might have improved their pos- ition there at the next election. During the debate, he had i.n the House and an television cri- ticized nat just Mr. Speakert who is a French Canadian, h-e- also had condemned the On- tario born Protestant Deputy Speaker and the B.C. protestant assistant Deputy Speaker.
