the georgetown heftald wodnewuy august 26tn ik by dorothy barkut almost as straight as the crow flis the two dtesels sped across the three provinces 6f ontario ma nitoba and saskatchewan behind them i sat in one of the coaches watching the thousands of acres of lush green bush and forest lit erally hundreds of lakes the lit tie ones chocolate brown the btg ger ones an bony hue made me wonder why our canadian scient ists would ever worry about green belts and conservation areas sur ely here was enough water to keep jlhis part of the old world from drying up for many moons like all problems relating to mans relationship with nature and his needs such as coal oil gas and lumber transportation has al ways been a poser the engineer ing brains of the country are even now considering a means of pin ing water from the great lakes into the central heavily populated re gions of canada there suburban municipalities are facing a water shortage more severe each ear as wells dry up but is not likely in the lifetime of most of as tha those still deep bushland waters will be disturbed by anj thing more commercial than an outboard motor or a fishing rod i was amazed to hear a fellow tra eller remark that she would not care oif she never saw another tree after two das of travelling through this amazing greenbelt to me it was restful and at the same time exciting outride m ma bile picture window at one point i saw an eagle a nest atop a hjdro tower a few miles farther on there beside the tracks nestled a lone grae fenced with ncket wooden palings it must have been painted white years ago but now was just a dirty gra color a single spindly cross leaning at precarious angle marks the last resting place of someone who had been loved enough to have this lit tie woodland shrine built

them for the overflow of children for these northlandb natives are famous for the size of their families yet we hardly ever spied a sign of life near these primitive abodes i came to the conclusion that the whole familj goes fishing or berr picking how could one ever become bor cd with such wonderful scenery wild flowers in brilliant hues ab ound in profusion blending their blues and bnght orange with the clean white of the daisies that grow everywhere even in the ere vices of the rugged rocks bird watchers with trained ees could easily spot the red on the wings of the blackbirds or sp

decently reflectively canadas weekly newspapers are more prosperous and stable than they have ever been the trend away from the farm has not dull ed the vitality of the small town weekly j so said leslie e barber chil hwack bc pubbsher who was elected president of the canadian weekly newspapers association at itegina july 17th i asked how the trend toward ur bamzation was afecting the week 1 newspapers mr barber said weeklies are growing and changing with their communities towns that slept for 100 ears are suddenly bursting into actiut new factories oil fields new min eral discoveries and the general trend toward urbanization m can i ada are turning small towns into large ones he said the result is a new generation of publishers many of whom are skilled in certain aspects of the business far beyond what their fathers thought was necessary we have larger plants which are better equipped faster and tmore efficient we have high wa ges and unions like most busin esses we are faced with the awful spectre of costs nearing our dollar volume but there is this difference no matter how large our busin esses are becoming most of us are still close to our communities and our people we are perhaps more conscious than bigcity busi nesses are about inflation and are more reluctant to participate id the spiral mr barber urged the publishers to continue the traditional attitude of the weekly newspapermans ap proach towards news he suggest ed they keep these questions in mind have we still the same kindly understanding and competent ap proach to news or are we fal ling into the sidcnick or beatnik sensationalism of some of our city journals and other media do we still report the news fully decently reflectively and with a measure of human under standing it was his iews that weeklies have been able to carry out their lunction in keeping with the high ideals and fine traditions establsh ed by pioneer publishers this is what makes us differ ent he said this is what makes us clean decent and an asset to the countrj this is why i know we can be proud of the canadian weekl newspapers association and all it stands for glen taxi oparatad by jbn th 3cabs3 radio
