first thing that comes in to his mind is a heeding for the ar ticle when the editor suggested that we give a few instances that took place over our holiday of two weeks ago we immediately began to wonder under what heading we would begin then came to our mind some reflec tions of our trip and right there was the beginning and yes dear readers the ending ls not tar off either not having had the opportunity of visiting western ontario before we decided to go on what might be called a free lance expedition visiting other newspaper offices and making acquain tances of their editors and staffs once started we found tltls a very novel and entertaining pastime and through our conversations brought home many new ideas which we hope to pass along to the readers of this paper in due course we set ort elgin as our destina tion for one half of the trip and plan ned to spend a couple of days at the beach there editor schmidt of the ayr news was our first fraternal friend on whom we called and we enjoyed our visit with him as we sat on the doorstep of his office and gaz ed over onj the grand river and swap ped stories of how a newspaper should be run from ayr we drove along the grand to paris the drive son and clarence bain both of georgetown took to the boat with their paraphernella some fish must have been missing when the roll was called down under it was rather hard to bid adieu to port elgin and wind our way back home and the dally grind but boll- days will inevitably come to an end op our homeward trip we were too early in the morning in tara to catch roy vandusen at his desk but down chesley way we were again honoured to make the acquaintance of editor and mrs schaus of the enterprise but before we go further we must tell you that port elgin still rings the curfew bell and that tara s street lighting arrangement ls identical with georgetown and when we speak of keeping the streets of our town clean of all waste materials we cannot help thinking ol how clean the streets of tara appeared a strangers impres sion would be that the town had been set there overnight as nothing seem ed to be out of place on the last lap of our drive home we called on editor prank irwin of the durham chronicle editor wright and his daughter of the mount for est confederate and lastly mr mur- dle macconald who ls still pinch hitting for anne anderson perry as editor of the elora
