mutwo the acton free press acton ontario busmans holiday c of courw ttioit everyone hfel heard the story of the but driver who when vacation time came around kpent hit week on a but tour wall but driven arent the only one who can do peculiar things we hadnt planned our vacation to follow this arrangement but thatt jutt what happened during the week we vitited eight newtpaper offices in ontario and odd at it may teem we thoroughly enjoyed the vililt witvs been want ing to do jutt tuch a thing for a long time tee the other fellow at work in townt similar to ours see the plantt and visit briefly it started tuesday morning and the first office we visited we asked the young woman at the desk if this was the printing office and if the back shop wat in need of a printer she explained that the foreman looked after hiring printers but she agreed to let us interview him the plot fell through when the foreman recognised us and in vited us in to the back shop fifteen minutes later at we left we asked the front office staff if they had ever teen anyone hired and fired so quickly twelve miles further along the road the editor wat out of town but we were given permission to vitlt the back shop we confided in a junior mem ber of the staff as we looked around that actually we had qualifications for the printing trade and really were a printer we were somewhat set back by his rejoinder that we didnt look like a printer weve been wondering since how long one has to be associated with the printing busi ness to assume that look that would identify him eta printer the three other newspapers we vitited that day had the editors all at home and there was no opportunity to inform them about our business because we have met them all before and are fairly well acquainted after 35 years the following day we headed east while we have travelled the route many times by train this was our first motor trip in that direction in some years we called at bowmanvillc and were de lighted to find editor george james at his desk an earlier visit to the only retired editor we know brought out the information he was playing golf that man is really an inspiration to all editors and although we know him very well weve never been told hdw he arrived at the happy state of retirement so young about 35 years ago we worked as a linotype operator in a newspaper in kingston and havent visited that city since those days we expected many changes in those years and we were not disappointed one visited kingston in those days by train and of course motor travel was not common it required a trip to the railway station and the old market place to get our bearings kingston has progressed industrially and in many other ways in recent years but there are still such landmarks as queens university ports mouth penitentiary old fort henryandthe mili tary academy around which the march of pro gress has been made the newspaper upon which we were employ ed had a staff of four at that time and today has 35 one of the four has stayed on the job through those years when one makes a visit back to such towns or cities its always a delight to find that someone has stayed on the job and is on hand to give a welcome and give the detail of the inter val coming home we called an another ontario weekly it was the neatest and had the best housekeeping of any plant that we visited some would say of course the reason was because a woman was the editor but we visited other newspapers where a woman was in charge and the housekeeping in the plant was not particular ly impressive the town is not large but the newspaper and its surroundings gave an impres sion that was very favourable and indicative of the town reasons meters back home we might go on and tell you more about a printers holiday that so resembles that of the odd bus driver but then very few of our readers are either bus drivers or printers and it might be come tiresome we did find that other editors do read the editorials in other newspapers and weve often ofetskol the wondered if poiutskol those column it at gene ral bykother readert most of you will wonder we ipailt to much of the one week of th that wo have away from newtpaper work tlmilar workthopt in other communities nt explain it other than to tay that perhapt in 35 yoan it can provide a different tort ot lay itt nice to visit different townt and see the community enterprise that hat made them attrac tive and we liked the townt best where the ttreett werent lined with parking meters that remind one jo much of the boggart that are found on many streets with a tin cup and a hand ful of pencils perhaps wo will always have them both with us hut there are some towns where the collection boxes do not una th ttrmt back homo again and the newt weve enjoy ed a pleasant vacation we hapt you have missed us during the period and we hope everyono etsis has a pleasurable vacation dunng this summpr which has been so delightfully summery those narrow walls protests were received by the toronto board of education the other day against awarding con tracts to nontoronto firms toronto firms end toronto people are always happy to sell to outsiders comments the financial pott to have them come in to shop ride on their streetcars and visit their famous exhibition they will alto be glad to have them use their new sub way when they finally get the debris cleaned away and the trains running there is never any objection either when young people expensive ly raised and trained in other municipalities move to toronto to make their fortunes in fact if thousands of them hadnt moved in toronto and other big canadian cities would never have grown up at all its about time that we all realized that there are no outsiders in canada that so far as trade and other opportunities are concerned there is only one border that really counts that is the one that marks the limits of canada financial post big stone walls riots and destruction of public property in several of our jails and reform institutions would seem to indicate that the proper methods of re form are not being used the individuals who have been placed in these institutions are there because they have committed an offense against the laws of the land they are put there for punishment and if they cannot behave while segregated from society it is time they were giv en punishment that would teach them to live decently with their fellow men during a recent visit to kingston we went out to see portsmouth penitentiary those big iron gates and massive stone walls were so impressive that we asked oneof the guards if it was against regulations to photograph them we were told that it was against regulations to photograph any part of the penitentiary so we had to be content with the picture post cards which were available at most news stands and were possibly better photographs than we would have secured we noticed a sign on one of the big iron entrance gates which said visitors and nearby was a bell the attendant swung open the big door and through the iron grill we asked if visit ors might see through the institution we were asked if we had any relatives confined there and assuring the attendant we had not we were told that only relatives were allowed to visit its quite possible he couldnt understand our curiosity when we were on the outside and so many on the inside wanted outside there can be no fault with such regulations concerning our penal institutions we suppose that if visitors were allowed to visit promis cuously they would want car bumper signs simi lar to those supplied for old fort henry where most everyone seems to have been or would they editorial notes the canadian government is reducing the national debt
