the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 1 4th 1 94 1 the editors corner the press and the advertiser no 4 of mrlm of articles dreoared for o w n a member papen by b h moruoofc associate editor of the brampton conservator the relationship between the newspaper and its advertisers is as important to the newspaper reader as it is to the publisher new papers are sometimes unfairly aociaed of being subservient to the advertisers too provide the revenue upon which the newspaper exists this erroneous impression has been gathered because the average person knows that the newspaper must have advertising to exist and therefore if he happens to be of a suspktous turn or mind he concludes that the advertiser must set the poller the news not only is such a suggestion untrue but it is unfair both to the davepaner and tx the advertiser practically every vtftdlsher will tell you ttosjt few merchants ever attempt to dictate the policy of the newspaper ttoeyinay express opposition to some stand the newspaper has taken but few would go so far as to threaten the newspaper with withdrawal of business if that poucy was not changed to conform with the wishes of the advertiser the successful merchant is usually successful because he is an honourable man and few would stoop to the level of threatening a newspaper because its publisher had different ideas on a given ques tion than the advertiser the relationship between the advertiser and the newspaper 4s similar to that whldr exists between a merchant and his customer only in thispcase the publisher is the merchant and the advertiser the cus tomer the advertiser purchases space in the newspaper because he has a story to tell the readers of the paper he uses advertising as a legi timate means of drawing custom to his store if the newspaper continues to provide the service required and adequate returns for ttoe investment the merchant continues to advertise when he feels he is not getting that value he ceases to advertise that too is the relationship which exists between any other merchant and his customer so long as the customer feels he is getting good value and service from the store he continues to be a customer when value and service cease he takes his trade elsewhere that very simply is the relationship between the publisher and the advertiser any suggestion that the policy of the newspaper is dictat ed by the advertiser is a slander on both newspaper and merchant best proof that the advertisers do not dictate policy is the fact that it would be almost impossible to find a group of merchants in any com munity whose ideas could be so identical that they could formulate the policy of any newspaper t t t t how does the budget affect you important news for canadians in every walk of life was contained in the budget speech of hon j l ilsley canadian minister of finance delivered before the house two weeks ago with estimated dominion expenditures for the next fiscal year climbing near the two billion dollar mark the finance minister explained that it was imperative to raise more money thru taxation both direct and indirect and a staff of econo mic experts has been busy for months drawing up the new scale of taxes in order to see how the new budget affects the ordinary man well take the case of mr x who earns 1250 a year if unmarried his income and defence tax last year amounted to 7250 37 50 defence tax at 3 and 35 00 income tax this year his payment more than doubles to 16260 which includes defence tax of 77 to 87 50 and m- come tax of 157o amounting to 75 00 if he is married his defence tax jumps from 25 2 to 6250 5 allowance for children has been increased from 8 a child to 20 so that if mr x has two children his tax this year win be 2250 compared with 9 last year in all cases the tax has more than doubled which gives a fair indication of all taxes in the lower income brackets if mr x drives a car he now pays 3c a gallon more for gasoline this is the first time the dominion government has invaded this field and farmers will note that there is no rebate allowed to them as m the case of provincial gas tax a 20 tax on theatre tickets means that it tll cost him an extra nickel when he goes to the oregorj theatre while if he visits the races in toronto he will note a 5 tax on any wagers he makes the sugar tax is up from lc to 2c a pound and taxes have been in creased on such commodities as cosmetics playing cards soft drinks and glucose increased taxes are noted on beer and wine while a 10 tax has been placed on railway bus and aeroplane tickets the excise rate on automobiles has been slightlj raised tending to further discourage the purchase of new oars by the consumer long distance telephone calls will be subject to a loi tax in place of the 6 rate now in effect another place where mr x may note the effects of the budget is if he is planning to build a new home the 8 sales tax exemption on building materials has been removed and this will subitantlallj increase the cost of his building t t t t back to work last week we took advantage of the weather for a vacation trip to the western part of this great province of ours leaving monday morning we drove to north bay where we spent the first night and on to sault ste marie for the second night it was the first time we had ventured north of bracebrtdge and it was a real education to get a glimpse of some of the more remote sections of ontario one impression we got was that an enterprising paint salesman could make his fortune in the country west of sudbury never have we seen so many unpainted buildings as abound along the highway between sudbury and the soo it is not an altogether pleasant sight to contrast the bleak rocky- northwest with our own prosperous farms in central ontario and we don t imagine that many of our readers would want to exchange their life for that in this district from sault ste marie we proceeded by the steamer harmonic to fort william a day and night trip- on lake superior this cruise is extremely popular in the summer but at this time of year the boats are mostly hauling freight and we were numbered among a mere handful of passengers once thru the locks at the soo the boat heads for open lake and for mos of the trip there is no land in sight in our cabin at night we peered thru the porthole into the inky blackness of the night and we couktnt help but think how different this peaceful stretch of water was to the submarineinfested waters of the atlantic where dread of a nazi uboat is everpresent early in the morning we looked out of our cabin window for our first glimpse of the twin cities of port arthur and port william with their gleaming white grain elevators like many another onta town the housing pro in these cities is acute an influx of workers to the canada oar and foundry plant has taxed existing housing facilities to the limit and it is next to impossible to rent a house of any description leaving by train on sunday night we arrived home tuesday morn ing with another edition of the herald on tap we enjoyed our vacation but even more we enjoyed getting back home and into the swing of work again t t t t queens canadian fund london bridge ts falling down my fair lady i be it said to vmir renown that vou wore vour f aires gown your brightest smile and stayed n town when london bridge was falling down my fair ladyl mary winter in the chicago tribune we ca will not easily forget the month or may 1939 we were hosts then and proud of the privilege to the two people who stood as a tymbol at once of canada s nationhood end of her place in the brit ish commonwealth from the first we ere honored by the visit but as tt proceeded we were above all captivated tn the visitors what might have been a coldly official ceremony became in fact a heart stirring dts play of loyalty and love evoked most of all by the graciousness and charm that radiated from her majesty we assured her a thousand times of our fealty and devotion we showed them in every way we could think of as long as she was with us and when the time came for the departure and the school children of halifax sang better loed ye carina be wll ye no come back again we would have asked nothing better than to make sonv great and costly gesture to prove our chivalrous eagerness to serve the queen within six months our loyalty was put to the test and we can proudly say it was not found wanting the more proudly that we did not see then as clearly as we do now that it is canada itself that we are fight ing tar and now in the midst of our war effort there is a direct appeal tolpur chivalry made by the queen herself an appeal precisely on behalf of the weak the helpless the unprotected whom chivalry delights to juoomrr who a to netacd by the queen s canadian fund for air raid victims if there is one thing that has impressed us in this war it has been the mass heroism of the english civilians the parent

factories followed by xutfna of ogbting fires or disturbed sleep in fetid shelters alt tus mlmty and prl have been beating now for months on a nation of men and women sustained only by an iron will to victory and it is in our cwuae as weh as their own that they are suffering but for an accident of geography it might be on us that bombs are raining down and destruc tion spreading on our cities and
