aaaodni ontarioquebec division of the o wnjl r and toe the editors corner the functions of the reporter a reporter i d necessity an mraerconal observer of the happenings of th community officially 1 matters little to wm what action a town council maty take in any given matter as an impartial observer a news item stating one side of a controversy is just is important as an item conveying tine otlier side in other words he is not a biased witness of any even he la interested only from the standpoint of news f perhaps the actions of a reporter at a meeting sometimej seem un usual but they have to be unusual because he is as we have said only an observer and not a participant in an event it will be uoulced that he does nt applaud when a speaker makes some remarks that please tne audience be doesnt join in the program unless it is to stand when the national an hem is sung he is merely an onlooker and is reporting the course of ev ents not for the benefit of those at the meeting but for the whole com munity to paraphrase a famous poem his is not to reason why that phrase adequately describes the reporters altitude toward am assign ment he is called upon to cover he should not be expected to take part in the proceedings unless he is personally interested as a member of he group a reporter recently covered a temperance meeting and wis acted to express his opinion on the liquor question this lie declined to do and rightly so because he was attending the meetng as a reprtsentatlv of lis newspaper and not as a member of the temperance federation newspaper reporters are often asked to keep things out of the paper or to soft pedal on some news item the conseenti jjs reporter will wver make an promises to do this this is the prerogative of the editor only and the only thing a reporter can do is take the mattei no with his editor sometimes a bribe is offered and if one really wants to earn the illwill of a reporter that is the surest way to do it the newspaperman who ac cepts a bribe is breaking faith with his profession and ne never remains a newspaperman very long reporters have a very difficult job they are surrounded oy people who want special favours that h- has not the power to grant in practlc- allv every instance the reporter is worthy of the fullest confidence he is a hard working person who is trying to play the game trying to serve his community and is finding his satisfaction in life not from the ordinary pleasures of life but from following the mosi fascinating balling known to mankind s when one is temoted to invite ft reporter to forget his cod- of etnica it is well to remember tnat he is no pover to assure you of immunity from publicitj or of special consideration rhat responsibiu rests solelv wi h the editor never blame a reporter for what appears ir vour newspaper he is just doing the job he is paid for the editor is the man who decided the issues the lions british child war victims fund perhaps there are some of our readers who are in doub as to the origin of the lionsbritisr chih war vlctdtte fund for which our local club is planning a choral soncer and bingo this month last january a board of governors meeting in toronto voted to establish a fund to be known as the prinoess elizabeth british child war victims fund as lions club work concerns itself with children it was thought fitting that this fund should be lmlted to the lions field o en deavour henc its deslgnauoi as a child fund due to uie considerable time required to obtain permission to use the name princess elizabeth the fund will be known a the lions brit ish child war victims fund and the necessary permit has been issued by the department of national war services in ottawa central treasurer is lion ernest j baker manager of the imperial bank in st catherines the st catherines lions club has made a generous offer to assume all administration costs during the first year so that every cent contributed will be used for the sole purpose for which the fund was established in addition to this a 3000 contribution by the same club started off the fund her majesty queen elizabeth has been requested to arrange for the administration of the fund fai great britain already it has received support from lions clubs in the united states like our herald war victims fund it has no objective the need is ever present and it
