This pairticular itemn wvas a reprint of onle appe'aring in thle sawa Timies and written by oýne of their staff memibers. Our critic also takes exceýption to oui, edi to3nal in conner'lcinwith incorporation accusing thîs press 6fpren m,-gimisleadingstemns 0f Uthe first obecionte Oronýo Times bias n c,(ontrol over the style used by the sbaa ýL3witer ior thlat it should appear in the Osh- aw ae.On repiniting it wve were llaar hat it wvould be found- burusby som--e 0f our readicers and possibly rýesenitedl by othiersý.

In eferig t teirobectonto the edtorial the "Towvnsb±.'p Resident" claiiims I.tatwomaig could bie tak7en from our state- ~nen that: -theTonhpra budget is$8,O and that this amnounit would pay for thre instaillation,. of the water, systemnl in two years."

But bas not thle"Tnsp Resident" read inito this 'sýtatemient" and "fact" a meaning wbhioh, liywishi to read into it or, to uîse for, their ow%,n puirpose. We wold like to refer briefly to numbiiler ,tbiree. point 0ýf the 2etter to the editor, especially since we havjýe been acduseýd of pinting1'1 xisleading statemients. This point, althoughi posed as a question is, in o-ur opinion, miore miisleading thait the statem-rent of fact wich wTý,e coted in our editorial. The "TowTnsliip Resident" writes ' (3) Fine De- partment - Does not part 0f the revenue for its upkeep corne fnomf the residents of the Townilsip" This could casily be ternied mlisleadinig -as it reads as if aill townisbip residents pay towands lielping to tupkep- thie Orono fine departmlent. This, of course, is not true, but it is a faýct -,hat some Townsthif residients do payv to the Police Village a y7early, amiounit of $11.00 for, fire protection service and this mlonley could qu7-ite eatsily find its way to hielp) upkeep tbe local depa îrtment 'and to assist wvith paying costs to give this fire protection service. Often we have rewd and heard that people .bear-, only those tnings whlich Uiiey wish tp liear and clojse their cr to those things hihthcy wisb not to hear. IfthÉlis is truc e i-n it could also be 'Miue tilat peopie read and interpret whIat they read as tbey wvish Ui to lie. TIhe press, the worlid oven,i always open for crîticismn and the use of words mnean nothing until thcey are intcrpreted and t1l~s interpreý- tatidn can vary as nigbt and day. We are quite aware that due to the human elemient, reporting cannot be letter perfect but anr effort is certainly made to be as factual as is possible. It is thre policy of this paper to report thie rewvs as a(ccuirately, as possible and that, tbrough our editorials, to express our view peint witb as mucli fact as is at our disposal. Johin F7. Flliott, assistant ccl. itor-in-cbief of The Free Press, states at the Ontario Weekýly News- paper Association anual convention that it is the purpose of the wýýeekly press and thre editoial writers to help devclop their commlun- ities. In supporting the xnove for Incorporation and the Llove for water la Orono we feel we are coing this very~ thing an'd we funthc-r feel thnt neither wouldbave an adverse effeet upon tire Township. Letters to ftie editor are aiways welcome, whetber or iiot they approve or disappr'oveý the editonial stand of this paper, and "Townisbiip Resident" we arc glad you relad our, papen and editorials. Sýtucients Are Not Sellinig Magazines On Wednesday 0f this week we received a telephone cal from the principal of the Oronio High Schoýol, Mr. A. WVitberspoon, to the effect that salesmen were soliciting magazine suliscriptions ini the aârea and posing as students of the Orono High Scliool. The principal was fast to inform us that tbe school was nlot solciting suliscriptions for any magazine and that no puipil of the school was selling such suliscriptions. Apparently someone wishing to. ma1e a bettper bid for tbe sub.- seription dollar was posing as a High tSchool student and supposidly * slling magazines for the school. Tis is flot the firssVbirne sucli a pitcb b-as been used in this area as well as in other areas and residents are war-ned. o be cautious of patronizing sucli saîesmnen. The school has on occasions sold m-agazines but are net doing s0 Rt the present tifne. Plain Talking Could Help Thus f ar in the federal electien campaign we have heard a great mnany promises fnon i al parties tbat involve the spending of nioney buit none that wouid mnean a saving. Yet sober examination of Cati- ada's economie condition surely indicates that we are alneady trying tsqueeze too mucli lutce out of too littie fruit. It would lic refreshing, tb' ougb surprising, if a leading party Ispokesman declaned: "'As a nation, Canadians have been living bc- vond their means, buying too mueli on credit. If. we budget oun ne- ,sources now, we cani s'r-aighiten out our finances, but iV wili mean ,-Qing without somle of the tbings we wanit for a wbile, until we are ni a better position Vo stretoli oun credit. Se we can't promise you any- thing except efficient, cost-cttting goveinamenit." That, of course, is noV in Uic tradition of Canadian election cami- pýaigning,. The fostom bere is for candidates to promise the moon, in thec hope tliat they cai convince aiggullible ciectorate that tbey cari ut least deliver a few beams. -ti1 f-c anddat wflga e Ucvtepiq lain facts and harsb 1 L e te1 hito Ô Ke ads, feet and loose clotbinga Lete. to heE.iorPOWIEU M1ýOWER NO CHILD'S O a-way from ilalli movýiing prtof the, Dea Mn Edtor ITREI&T IT WITH CARE, CAUTION 1oer lDear \1r.
