recently for their somlannual board meeting they came from every province in canada and spent two days in business ses sion and in hearing firsthand some of the problems confronting the na tion prime minister hon w it macken zie king was the guest of honoi and speaker at one closed dinner session on saturday nigbt following the conclusion of the meeting the associ ation president f p oalbraith of red deer and hugh templin of fer gus tha vicepresident were invited to speak on the radio over obc na tional network both gave interesting and instruc tive addresses and were listened to by a large audience we are pleased to give you the text of mr galbraiths brief talk it isnt often that a man gets a chance to talk about the people he knows best and to do lt to most 61 the people of canada at one time but that the position im in here night i m here to tell you something of the weekly newspapermen and wo men of this country and the reason im doing it is twofold first be cause i happen to be this years pre sident of the canadian weekly news papers association which includes nearly 600 country weeklies from al aska to newfoundland and second be cause i believe that this group of hard working men and women is mak ing and win continue to make a tre mendously helpful contribution to this country counry newspaper people are a host in themselves it is true that they arc newspaper people in theory at least but that job seems to be the very least of their activities these days especially there is hardly a town in canada where the country editor is not in every worthwhile effort up to his neck there is hardly a single community scheme in which he is not only deeply interested but hard at ork on and that goes for women as nell as men and for all ages from teenagers to nonogenarians because we have them au in our ranks just to prove my words let me tell you about two men i know they bote worked on the same newspaper my own which i am delighted to tell you is the red deer advocate and is pub lished by my partner and myself at red deer alberta possibly the best town in all canada one of these men was my father who edited the advocate for 27 years before bis death and the other is my partner who has been with the paper since 1907 please remember that both of them were busj newspaper people through good times and bad when you listen to what i have to tell you of their other acti- vitles- here are some of them but the list isnt complete both were mayors of the citj both served as aldermen both were presidents of the board of trade both were presidents of the agricultural society both were chatr- mtn of the hospital board and one of them still is both were presidents of the horticultural society one was t end of the bov scout organization one was superintendent of the sun- da school one was president of the arena company one was president of the rotarj club one was master of his lodt on d d som im preaching u th of tiom sentd is piesident and uon as stcrnin ot in alixrtn wiek ly new simper association ind both of uni itnid in the canadian weekly n vi et assoc ii kii i am repre iik h n tonight while mtunulj i in w i mh i i ich ti to botii

to a better town and after all that is why you are in che newspaper business that is your job as a news paper man and is lt any ponder thai i am proud to be the heatfcof an or ganization made up of men and wo men ivbo are doing an tboss tbfnf and doing them aupeifaly well under grave difficulties have you any doubt in your minds tfcat these same men and women will be one of the most potent forces in all canada in shap ing the postwar world they artt bound to be because they will do fihelr shaping in the most effective place right on their own doorsteps that is where our new canada must be fas hioned and the is where its first foundation must be laid right at home and the men and women who know most about rural canada thef men and women who work best wtt raral canada the heart of thla na tlon are the men and women of the country weeklies they didnt get that way by acci dent either many of them like tfte barbers of ohiuiwack where father irother and son all worked on the pa per the clarks of high river the moores of swift current the marshes of amherstburg hugh templm of fergus who shares this broadcast with me and his rather the giles of la- chute and the bum of kentvule have the second generation in active partnership or complete control some like the james of bowmanville and the charters of brampton have the third generation hard at work or did have before the war and please god will have again soon tiese are not mushroom oy by night businesses they are businesses with roots firmly fastened in the soil of their own dis tricts they are a part a veryreal and vital part of those mn and without them it la hard to see how those communities could function anything like so effectively as they do now they give leadership they give guidance and they give enthusiasm they cheer up the gloomy they com fort the sorrowful they caution th reckless in fact there is no side of community life social or business that they do not help and it is diffi cult to imagine how any healthy hap py place could possibly exist without the kind offices of a weekly newspaper man that is why i am quite sure that they will be so valuable in helping our boys when they come back their wide knowledge of local conditions and their warm human sympathies make them splendid people for this job and you can be sure that they will keep at it until it is done and done proper ly thats the kind of people they are i m proud to be able to speak for them tonight and tell you even a little of the story oaeyre too busy to teh you themselves thank you and good night pers 111 r p
