page two the acton free press thursday august 16th 1s51 your town is represented this week the editor of your hometown paper is amending the thirty second annual con vention of tvie canadian weekly newspapers association being held at the royal alexandria hotel in winnipegaaan one of the largest and most influential news paper associations in the world the cw na holds an annual gettogether for a v nurtiber of reasons most important is the objective that underlies most of the work of the association that of developing better weekly newspapers from coast to coast in canada that this obectlve is a worthy one and is in a measure being at tained is borne out in the fact that many tremen dous improvements have been made in the weeklies during tho years since the last war another reason for the convention is the op portunity it affords for newspaper men and wo men to discuss mutual problems both at tho for mal sessions and in talking stibp with one an other as newspaper people invariably do sur prising how many ideas for turning out better papers are to be picked up at those off tho re cord discussions addrcssesrround table discussions forums displays all of these assist the newspaper peo ple in gathering useful information and bright new ideas the convention too helps solve problems in connection with tho business of turning out a newspaper that will be a credit to the hometown community these days goodness knows there are enough problems some of them affecting the very existence of weekly newspapers in this country but the annual c w n a gathering is not all work there is for instance the pleasure of greeting old newspaper friends and making new ones time is allotted for dinners luncheons and even a special breakfast receptions an ail day tour to a paper mill and power development end for ust having fun represented at the c w n a 1his year are newspapers in every province from british col umbia to newfoundland the gathering is sym bolic of the unity that exists in this nation freedoms ask a dozen people what they consider to bo tho greatest virtue of democracy and a dozen different answers can bo expected in the long run howovor tho ovorrldlng virtue of them all fs the powerof the people lo turn a oovjemmonl cut of offico in order to exorcise this power intelligently tho voters must be kept informed there must bo freedom for those who oppose tho party in pow er to expose its errors and weaknesses through every means available to thorn these include first of all the press but they ajso include radio and its newer development television the maisoy commission or rather a majority of its members has recently published a report advocating that the present government control over radio through the cbc be greatly strength ened and further that the cbc be given a mon opoly of television program production if not of transmission in this latter conclusion it suggests that the cbc sviould collaborate very closely with another government agency the national film board a fifth member of the commission mr art hur surveyor is at odds with his colleagues on both these points he proposes that control of radio be removed from the cbc and placed in ihe hands of an independent board and that 4fr ju ed ro private enterprise there arc apparently freedoms other than those of the press that require close watching that we may not lose none would suggest that the press be put under government supervision surely attn xtthfb bjjurrri at canada acton ontario a friendly church parsonage 20 bower avenue phone m rev v a carrey ba hd mlnurter mlm o m ltunba4
