black associate editors business and editorial office ph 60o acton what did we find if you think the problems of your town or your business are entirely different or peculiar to your locality you are wrong sure it may be the hay crop or wheat or tobacco crop in one town or it might be the summer tourist trade that s been affected by the weather the weather is al ways a factor which registers on the business barometer in every town and you get the read ings at the local newspaper office want to know about the trade orrmain street and what kind of merchants you have o general the summary can usually be deduced arrer a visit with the weekly editors its rarely youll find a pessimist among them what are the features of their town the weekly editor has them at his fingertips want to find someone you knew some place and if the town isnt too large it doesnt matter if there are dozens of mackenzies in the town youll get the right one if you give a sketchy description but w have strayed a bit from our heading common problems are shopping hours with a steady trend to friday open nights the costs of keeping pace with the towns needs and higher and higher education costs and taxes and more parking space downtown printers invariably need more help and cheaper newsprint and more of it if doesn t matter the size of the town or the printing plant these are common problems the itinerary perhaps we should tel ou the towns in which we stopped butwe ii not make any par ticular analysis our first visit was totoufkille andthenceto ba aatdtand where tte- holiday jaunt weve been intrigued by the recent advertis ing of the department of travel and publicity for ontario which is characterized by the slogan know ontario better or commonly by the letters k ob as a native of this province we won dered how well we did know ontario sure weve been north and east and west and visited many of the cities and famed spots but we felt there were many places similar to acton and mil ton that were ust not in our usual travelled part so for three days of our yearly vacation the three members of the company went on a trip and called on 1 7 towns and the newspaper office in each town we know ontario befter of that jaunt but there are many other sections and towns which would occupy many more days and may be the goal of another summer trip the towns we chose for this trip were selected because they had some similarity to acton or milton or because we particularly wanted to see at first hand news paper- plants in towns larger than ours in some of the towns visited we found the newspapers tckinga holiday ust as we were doing that week we found it most interesting and many of the things we found out in the printing plants will be most helpful in serving aailton and acton with a better newspaper and printing service now and in the years ahead we have visions of these towns taking a prominent place in the general expansion of on tario to serve these needs adequately one must look ahead and prepare for the expansion that is taking place at the present time week we found newspaper offices that had from two to 35 employees some of them were located by the sound of a metal cutting saw and some had buildings that you just couldnt miss wednesday evening we headed home be cause every weekly editor knows that publica tion day is no day to visit a weekly newspaper plant earlier in the week we were told by one editor he wished he could have more visits from other editors and on monday we had an editor who said he would like to oin us on the trip by wednesday the tempo had changed and thurs day- we knew better than to stroll into the back shop of a weekly newspaper the simple tower canadian business is in danger of having to carry an increasing proportion of the tax burden from now on writes the ottawa correspondent of the financial post increasing concentration on business taxes is foreseen as a result of the new federalprovincial tax plan now being debated in the house of commons the new legislation may in addition have tese effects according to some close observers to put a floor under corporation income taxes at their present level eliminating the possibility of reduction at least until 1962 to establish a strong probability of higher taxes on company incomes by encouraging pro vinces to get additional revenue from this source to stimulate a search for new ways of taxing business assets the day may soon come when the average man will find being in business for the sake of providing unbusinesslike legislators with funds is not attractive 1957 prediction cars of 1957 says the financial post will be longer lower and flashier and may be piore diffi cult to fit closer in the old garage the variety of color chrome treatment and body style
