the acton free press acton ontario thursday march 4th 1964 couple of days in ottawa spent a couple of days in ottawa last week at the semiannual meeting of the canadian weekly newspapers association it was the first time in all our visits to the canadian capitot that we have tiavelled in daylight hours there were two rea sons one was that the train schedule allowed a stopover in smiths falls for mrs dills and the edi tor to visit with their daughter and son in law and grandchildren and the second reason was that we have found that arriving at the chateau launer one is more liable to get a room at 1 0 oclock at ntght than at seven oclock in the morning we have written previously about ottawa our only walk outside the hotel was an early morning trip on which we took colored pictures of the war memorial the parliament buildings and the hotel at nine oclock the sun was in the right direction for all three shots mrs dills did attend one part of a session of the house of commons she reports a session at which not half the seats in the house were occupied but appreciated the debate most activity we ever saw around the parliament buildings was a couple of years ago when the first canadian was made governor general of canada ni of wjr bus hadjo deal with the welfare of weekly newspapers and was shop talk a visit to ottawa does allow one to meet and hear from many in official circles and of course the directors of the association come from every province of this vast dominion on and off the record at luncheons and dinners many heads of government departments meet the representatives of over 500 weekly newspapers on tuesday at luncheon near us were an official of the depart ment of national defense a senator the chief election officer and the public relations man of one of the maor parties perhaps the general public are not aware that the man in charge of public relations for the liberal party is a mr h e kidd and the man in a similar position for the conservatives ismr w h kidd perhaps you won t believe it but the one we sat closest to was the conservative publicity man and he assured us he was no relation and had no connection with the man who directed the promotion of the libe ral party we didn t meet the right kidd ottawa is a place where one hears talks that are on the record and off the record we never heard of a newspaper man repeating or reporting anything that was off the record but at dinner on monday evening hon john w pickersgill sec retary of state gave an address that was on the record and which we found interesting the ad dress was titled cabinet government and free dom of information if any of our readers are desirous of learning about the duties of the secre tary of state and why there is not freedom of in formation on everything pertaining to govern ment work we ii be glad to loan a copy of the ad dress while mr pickersgill has only been a cabinet minister for nine months he has been associated with government work in ottawa for 14 years he was secretary to the late hon w l mackenzie king for many years we learned from other sources that hts ability is recognized by all mem bers of the house even if he isn t ust as popular as some in other positions also met on tuesday evening a couple of weekly editors who are members of parliament jack smith from richmond hill and johnny james from bowmanvillt and of courst what we pick ed up in such convrsat oris s off the record they both happen to be libtnls bul thai s not surpns mg in a government wli cti has so m i i l berals long time planning among some thinqs that readers might like to know and which come up for attention of direc tors of c w n a are convention arrangements this years convention will be held in toronto the dates for the convention of 1955 have been set tor september 12 13 and 14 in vancouver bc and is being given to the place and time for the gathering of 1956 and 19 it appears that conventions have to be arrang ed well ahead if hotel accommodation at one city is to be secured for 300 to 500 people for three oi tout dflyt dfttoi in july and august for con von 1 ion aie uit not obtainable for large groups in any of the large hotels some study is being fivttn to an ovonrns trip for weekly newspaper ed tori but like other plans this will have to be made some time ahead of the actual trip it s some 20 years or more since such an undertak mg was made not many of the editors making that trip are active today in newspaper weeklies except senator rupert davies who is now editor of the kingston whigstandard we ii not go fur ther with the ramblings of the editor this week last week s editorials were handled by our assistant editors we were back home in time to assist on the weekly issues on wednesday morn mg and for the rest of the week we don t get so much of this in the small towns and we find merchants sticking close to the par ticular line in which they specialize we think it is better that way and we like it we believe that by this specialization in ones business we get better service and everyone has an opportunity to make a living if a jewellery store sells coffee as a loss leader of course the grocery store can go in for bargain jewellery no one would gain and eventually if the trend would go on we would have everyone running some other business and quite a confu sion they can try sticking their noses into the other fellows business in the cities but we sure hope the confusion doesn t spread to the small towns the fellows who handle coffee regularly ought to be in the best position to

attention on the problems and achieve ments of education generally it presents an op portunity for every citizen to inform himself abofit our educational methods school buildings and equipment as well as the day today activities in our schools education has been described as an invest ment m people are our people sufficiently con cemed with our educational investment next week the opportunity is in your hands to take stock of our assets and liabilities if our canadian school system is to turn out responsible weled ucated young people it is the responsibility of adults to enlarge their knowledge of educational affairs as a taxpayer you will be well aware that education now costs more but so does a loaf of biead and a package of cigarettes statisticians have this year pointed out that the share of the tax dollar spent on education is no greater now than it was six years ago actually the individual canadian spends about a dime a day on educa tion more canadians go to school now than ever before as can be seen from the addition of neces ary classrooms in th s town to handle the increas i ed enrolment the increas ng enrolment s e peeled to continue for some time which means that about 2 500 classrooms must be added each year educat on is a restricted field but one that has more recently been opened up to adults through i evening classes to study everything from nsects to international affairs today especially there is much soul search mg on the part of educators or the problem of fundamentals of education as opposed to the so cahed fnffs this concern is all to the good but how is the interested parent to udge for himself without personal knowledge education week provides the opportunity for all to get better ac quamted with our teachers and school offic als and
