of community events to each and everyone everywhere our best wishes for a merry christmas in the true spirit of the oyful season no claim to perfection this newspaper and every other newspaper has often been criticized for one thing or another for suppression of the news for leaving out a personal or for neglecting to report an event the press has very dramatically been pictured by imaginative people as the maze of rumbling wheels that prints the news each week these same people fail to realize lhat the most import ant steps are those taken by human beings in the creation and production of a newspaper in the publication of a newspaper there are many decisions to make and they must be made to meet deadlines the decisions are always sub ect to the human element the decision of what to publish and what not to publish is the one most often dealt with in writing a story quotations from a speakers text are sometimes included to give a more vivid nn pression of the proceedings quite often those quotations are not the part the speaker hoped to be quoted on and he consequently feels ill used space limitations prohibit the use of all the remarks of a speaker and the reporter is left as the sole udge on what adds to the basic pattern of the story and what does not that is what the reporter is trained to doto present the picture as he sees it from the viewpoint of an unbiased listener some mouthful an issue of a recent american magazine quotes j alsop as saying american politicians and american businessmen are increasingly com pelled toward the corruption that marks their mutual dealings politicians need larqer ana larger contributions to finance their campaigns the businessmen are more and more tempted to pay money to the politicians in campaign con trtbutions or otherwise to facilitate their dealings with the increasmglv complicated government to use a slang expression thai man said a mouthful there are three important points in that quotation first of all the man is dealing with the american political scene which is con mderably different from the canadian because of the difference iii size attdopcnrhon but the- american way often points the canadian way a few years hence another point dealt with in the quotation is the increasing complexity of tin workings of government federal provincial and municipal by laws passed in small towns now often nun ber near the 1 000 mark some of them are good and effective others are on the borderline and many others are complete ignored and mis understood the thud and final point gltancd fcom the quotation is the need for vast sums of mone to finance political american campaigns in the gladiatorial days of rome the politicians swayed and indeed controlled the masses on bread and games now in the political field again is the necessity of large amounts of money for cam paigns canada is not free of all faults but it seems to lack the corruption so prevalent below the line one speaker we heard recently declared there is nothing for nothing people should develop their minds to the mature outlook that politicians in any field cannot give them something for nothing the individual always pays either directly or indirectly yes mr alsop said a mouthful who serve onjuries we arc often asked how the selection of jurors is made and why cortaln narnesare never included the 1950 revised statutes say that every malo person 21 years of ago and a british tuboctjaihoiiippnrtsslnn of h natural facul- ties and not infirm or decrepit and who or whose wife is assosscd for real proporty to the value of not loss than 400 in towns villages or town ships is liable for ury duly in 1951 the act was revised to allow women to serve as urors and now roads every person instead of every male person there arc however a number of exemptions to jury service in the 1950 and 1951 revisions those exomptionsincludopersorrsoverz0 years- members of privy council members of the sen- ale and house of commons or

that would be valuable to everyone the untrust ing instinct that makes a good reporter verify his facts before repeating them verification is the greatest guardian against dangerous and harmful rumors rumors are those things every individual repeats or adds to at same time or another for instance who has never said they say that so and so is true one person said they say is the most often quoted individual a rurnor does not even seem to be plausible yet it travels with the unexpected speed of light ning from one end of town to the other a rumor leaps encompassing a whole town or sec tion and picking up little additions as it goes from mouth to mouth unfortunately these rumors can in some in stances be damaging to individuals and towns and countries it is impossible to stop these little gems of conversation unless people are forbid den to speak and certainly that power will never be controlled but it is possible for people to consider the validity of what they pass on and erify it before repeating harmful comments the good old days may have seemed better editorial notes merry chrislmtis to aim and let s rruikt it one thtit is especially a oy to the children strikers and tlu ir
