role that the red cross society is ploying and the good work being performed among soldiers and civilians following lswn article submitted to us by the secretary of the oeorgetown branch of the society which we commend to the particular attention of our women readers an appeal the falling off of shipments of all supplies coming into the ware house necessitates an appeal to branches to realize the need of immedi ate effort the following is a message from mrs w r campbell na tkraal chairman of women s war work committee as we have been fortunate enough to secure some additional ship ping pace for the month of june and are most anxious to get as much civilian clothing and knitted comforts oversea as can possibly be man aged will you urge your workers to redouble their efforts and ship every thing you possibly can to the warehouse at your earliest convenience it is earnestly hoped that there will be no slackening on the part of our workers since the need grows more urgent hourly and since we must do o utmost to encourage the people of britain by our gifts which we kwow are being so gratefully recewed and which realy mean so much more than just clothes we beseech canadian women to rally to the cause of our brave de fenders and while we realize that it is a difficult time of ear for many people it should be remembered that for them the war is gathering momentum and for us it is little enough to give a few hours each day to a job we can still accomplish from the safety- of comfortable workrooms or the shelter of our homes women of the red cross work knit sew pray the men wo men and children of britain deserve no less of us the executive of the georgetown branch feel that the above appeal is applicable to our branch here as elsewhere that there has been a slackening to our worker s efforts for some time past ail our work now is allotted bv quota and at times we have felt that the quota sent to us has b en rather dirucul tor ome of our workers bin with each has come the appeal before vou refuse this work please consider the great need of the people of britain in the face of that appeal we can onl do our best and would ask for the heartj co operation of our workers in every department so thai when our work is alio ted to us we will rallj round constant and deliver the goods excellcn work has been done by th s branci in the past le usioio ies now

not lag in supporting worth while ca ses ind living ip o her record o pimousm why not a ratepayers association the recent appeal to council for the hiring of a night constable to replace pte w emmcrson on leave of absence for active service shows the need of a ratepayers bociatin in a munic pahtj such an asocia uon could play a verv important part in bringing before council suggested improvements reforms etc in the town it would have the advantage of showing council that a majority of the ratepayers were in favour of this or that scheme and give them some guidance as to the feelings of the voting public it is the merchants and the merchants alone who are responsible for the hiring of constable r marchment to patrol our streets at night while public opinion insofar as we could judge from talking to various private citizens favoured the hiring of a night man it is true that the petition submitted contained only names of merchants and that it was merchants only who made up both delegations which appeared before the council a ratepay association could act as a clearing house for many amall matters which now are brought to the council s attention by indi viduals or all too often never are formally presented for their consider ation requests submitted by a recognized group such as this would commend the councils attention much more than those coming from private persons the press and local history no 8 nf a series of articles prepared for c wna- member papers by b h mortloclc asociate editor of the brampton conservator few people as they read their weekly newspapers realise that they are reading perhaps the only contemporary history of their community it is possible to read it is doubtful too if they realise that as each issue gets old the more valuable it becomes and that the old fyles of a news paper are from a historical standpoint of incalculable worth the newspaper fyles are the most authentic history of be com munity available they tell the story of the community s life as it law- pens past history is important to those who live in the present those of us who live in modern surroundings are sometimes apt to forget the sacrifices of those who made the community what it is today it la not so very ions ago when the territory served by weekly newspapers waa virgin forest or prairie untouched by the hand of the white man it was a territory upon wbsoh the plowpoint had never turned a furrow a wild and beautiful country in its natural state in the meantime men have worked and schemed add planned and today we have every modern convenience churchs schools libraries theatres electric llgfafe sewers sidewalks paved sheets and a hundred and one other conveniences our forefathers never dnamed of these things did not come about by chance or by natural evctatton they came about because men tolled ceaselessly to leave behind them a better world than that into which they came their devotion their struggles their ideals thair initiative and determin ation should be an inspiration to succeeding generations and the re cord of their achievements appears in the fyles of the local newspapers nrni that is why they are such valuable records of the triumphs of the pew people who contribute to the news columns of the newspaper are aware that they are contemporary historians they are chronicling the events of community life for posterity and generations hence will read the story they have told and from the struggles of this day they will gain inspiration for the struggles of their day the newspaper pre serves the story of our ideals oar problems and our lives and those who contribute to the news columns of their local newspaper are therefore doing a valuable service for those who follow m their wake for this reason it is essential that contributors write so that the reader twentyflve or fifty years hence may understand the import of the story fftr -instance- some wr are- apt to consider a story as of in terest only to their particular organization rather than to the com munity as a whole occasionally one reads an item about a young peo ples meeting to which john does this and mary does that to the aver age reader this doesnt convey anything even at the time and it would j stul less a quarter of a century after it is written if the same lhaillpafcii wentnl to check back for historical purposes many years after iiwnaary would not convey to them who were the activ irm- of the group in bygone day the newspaper is truly the archive of the community and as such si of l value to the community as its fyles grow older the read ers axe therefore personally a part of the newspaper because their con- ttjhotlons to its ffw are help to record the history of the age in ifatoh tfasr ha in attton of to an start
