associate editors fiioct and editorial office ph soo acton thursday september 27 1956 the need for leaders like the children in a family group youngsters at large in the family that is the community must have coaching and leader ship organized sports and other recreational pursuits are essential for the formation of any healthy and happy child and acton is for tunate that there ere adults in the community whpwiji not let the constant need for coach es and leaders go unfilled a few weeks ago with school back in and youth and adult groups reorganizing for autumn there were worrisome vacancies in the scout cub girl guide and brownie leadership posts an appeal was made through the news columns of this newspaper and the appeal brought results last week it was announced that a full complement ol leaders for all four of these organizations has been realized but last week also brought another ap peal from the y and from the legion minor sports association to look after some 10 hockeyminded boys this winter the legion needs managers and executive members for the teams and association the y dearth of leaders is just as acute with adult assistance required to conduct badminton basketball gymnastics woodworking hobby club and grav club programs the response to the scout cub guide and brownie appeal is heartening those citizens who volunteered their leadership are evincing a sense of belonging and responsi bility to the community that speaks louder tfian any words we sincerely hope there are others who will recognize a similar responsi bility and volunteer their time and talent for the v and sports association leadership vac- ancie fiom time to time we hear the criticism that theiown is overorganized or that i ithi fetai theretare too many activities for the youth of acton this is a strange criticism and one that hardly holds validity in the face of the tact that youngsters kept busy kept active in competitive sports kept encouraged in worth while recreational programs and hobbies seldom have time to cause themselves their parens or their community any serious trouble i a question of taste it is the liberty of any newspaper to pub lish matter which is of news interest or in the public domain but it is also the license of a newspaper not to publish matter at the edi tors discretion from time to time questionable cases over the border of public decency come to the attention of every editor these cases may involve suicide morals harges or juvenileprcsecution here the license of an editor not to publish becomes a professional responsibility no purpose is served fof the newspaper pr the reader if this responsibility s neglect ed or disregarded newspapers arid weekly newspapers especially asprre to inform edu cate or amuse through their news columns aiktaftwithin the bounds of public decency it is the debatable place of the garish tab- loich tp lure readers those who will be lured over these bounds of public decency and into the mire of sensationalized social conduct no weekly newspaper is ready to or needs to trade its editor s sense of response bility and readers faith for lurid headlines a great american newspaper with a worldwide reputation for its thoroughness and vigor has carried on its name plate far years the statement all the news thats fit to print this is no excuse for prudishness hs a committed trust the publishers hold to their readers sense of dignity and decency this same trust is the basis of a weekly editors responsibility to hi i readers in a wffl cywmynity rufiplo rf rlnu- thniw- this weeks issue introduces several changes were sure readers will have noted by now our page size has had an extra column tacked on and each column is one inch long er this has given us an opportunity to effect several changes in the layout of the weekly edition perhaps they arent all for the better but we hope so when a paper is undergoing change the fullimpact of each alteration cant be fully anticipated for that reason further changes may be made as the weeks progress well welcome comments from our read ers because even though contest judges can reflect some of the papers qualities the read ers are more to be considered behind the papers alterations are a niulti- tude of intheplant changes new rectangu lar metal frames were designed new styles were studied new headings designed and new production schedules mapped out to the reader the 12page paper in the new size will contain just as much material as the 14page paper in the older size to be completely accurate the larger size allows the present 1 2page paper to carry the equivalent to the older 14 page paper plus 56 inches the new size is a fairly standard metro politan paper size and in keeping with the growing community and expanding size it was felt the larger size would be more in keeping as we promised earlier the staff and edi tors of the paper continue to seek areas and methods of improvements about highway safety the attorney generals deapartment pro vincial police the department of highways and such organizations as the ontario safety league have been and are continuing to promote the kind of driving that will reduce highway accidents the police have and will continue 16 curb the kind of driving that ends in a death these efforts are making the pro gress noted in provincial highways but what about local traffic fatalities frequently the victim of motor mayhem on local streets is a pedestrian and too often the victim is a child to cope with this local traffic toll ict ontario cities and towns the attorney general has stressed we are par ticularly interested in formation of local safe ty councils and in the maintenance of these local safety councils at a high standard of efficiency they are not only worthwhile tfyey are essential to a fully successful traffic safety drive after ten months campaign to cut the traffic toll in this province attorney general a kelso roberts could report some consider able progress recently fatalities on provinc ial highways were reduced during this period by 14 per cent as compared with the same period in 1955 this is substantial achievement but as the attorney general himself pointed out the death toll is still high nearly two persons are killed every day on provincial highways an other dies on the roadway of a city or town in the same period on the average one able bodied person dies on the roads of ontario by violent means every ejght hour working shift he said ontario has 970 municipalities cities towns and villages where traffic safety is of concern we would get at the root of this safety problem says attorney general roberts if every solitary municipality or ganized a safety council put at its head a responsible citizen aware of the problems and determined to solve them at the local level happy hollering recently m a f o w n rnrt too far east of here and renowned for its lacrosse teams a victorious team of young players returned home late one saturday night with a cham- piohship to their credit toindicate this to the townsfolk however most 01 them might long be asleep the tire siren wat turned on and let waillong and lustily other towns we know do the samewhen a sports victory is tobe hailed others turn out the town band to rejoice with the trump ets or in the case of arvothet lacrosse town north of herethe bagpipes in other places and at other times the triumphant sportsmen and their supporters just tear around the town cheering and hollering about it to everybodys approval so we see it or more properly hear it- time and time again when something good happens something big or important then shout about it make a noise actually the idea has been around for a good long time and it seems to be one of those fadeless shades of human nature that paper is often an adhesive agent to this close- rfessx for theeditor to revoke his responsibil- ftymtrust by printing accounts of conduct out of the communitys concepts of decency he slashes at the fabric of friendship tjihat covers his townsmen make one thinkjhe species isnt such abad apple after all people when enjoying or proud of an accomplishment caftt
