uaowm rie editors corner dont search distant fields with the christmas shopping season now in full awing wed like to remind you tha by following the buy at home policy which your local paper ha always advocated youll find quality and price that compare favourably with any city store the mer chant have been laying in good stock of chrutma merchandise and are deserving of your patronage in christmas shopping as well as everyday purchasing youll like the friendly atmosphere and indivi dual attention that is present when you shop in town each store is a unit completely familiar with its own line of stock and so its sales staff can advise you how to spend your money to the best advantage we know that time is at a premium at christmas and one sure way to save it is by watching the advertise ments this week and for the next two weeks the herald will carry many uds telling you what the stores have to offer pay particular attention to them they will give you ideas for gifts you have not quite decided on and will tell you where to shop for the articles you have already decided to give dramatic talent here why not a society remarking on the long evenings which winter brings editor dills in the canadian chumpion mil ton has suggested that one way in which to spend these hours of relaxation pleasurably is by takinp an active interest in dramatics with this suggestion we heartily agree theres a lot of fun and satisfaction to be had in putting on a play theres n lot of work too but thats a common factor to every worthwhile effort in addition to giving pleasure to the performers a play creates pleasure for the spectators as well one needs only to think back to the local talent plays given in town to realize the truth of that the theatre is always packed and the audience most responsive to illustrate the point that talent for dramatics is not confined to cities alone editor dills recalls that at the dominion drama festival in london ont in april 1939 a s5yearold farmer robert haakins from the tiny town of clive alberta was adjudged the best male performer at the festival for his portrayal of the difficult role of the landowner in chekhovs the bear we know theres a lot of acting talent in geor getown in our opinion we have right here materia for a first class dramatic society theres nothing would pelane us more than to see such a group organ ized now when there are so many worthwhile efforts in need of funds proceeds from dramatic productions could play an important part while in peacetime their efforts could be turned towards gaining recognition by by the dominion drama fchtivnl which in open to amateur dramaic societies throughout canada appeal to farmers and farm workers a ivlacnamarn director of national selective service and deputy minister of labour has issued a per sonal appeal to farmers and farm workers to undertake waressential work this winter in cases where they ran leave the farm without affecting agricnl ural produc tion wood work including the cutting of pulpwnnd ranks high on the list mr marnnmatas appeal right honourable malcolm mac donald brit ish high commissioner to canada has paid tribute pub licly to canadian farmers by staling the simple fact is that without the help of canadian farmers the war would have been lost two years or more ago because i was brought up on a farm this statement thrilled me it will thrill you tool the appeal for farmers and form workers not needed on farms this winter which is now being made is both patriotic and practical if jobs in the woods to cut fuel logs and pulpwood are not filled the war effort and as well our national welfare will suffer seri ously the same may also be said of employment va cancies in food processing plants and other essential works in making the appeal to farmers and farm wor ker to accept other essential employment during the lack farm season national selective service is show ing a way in which you can still further aid canada in it war effort doing essential work during the winter when you can be spared from the farm will not affect post ponement of military training you will of course sajsawiaifc fa any farmer or farm worker wishing to under take such winter work caa apply to an office of na tional selective service to any provincial agrieubura representative or to his local farm production com mittee also pulp and paper companies with the ap proval of national selective service have canvassers in the field to sign up pulpwood cutters the power of the press among the many different kinds of publications that roll regularly off printing presses in canada is one particular type of newspaper that caters to readers who like their news well flavoured with gossip and sex one of the most tusty of these journals happen to be a pro duct of toronto though the good citizen of the com munity argue that it is jus printed here it i read else where recently this paper turned its guns on the rural weekly press by wuy of diversion the attack was based upon an item published by one smalltown editor in which an apology was extended for something previously printed presumably an error the scandal paper ranted about the um of weakness and of being willing to forgive and forget and seemed to be in favour of editor being feared for the power they hold in their hands the power of he press is a very real thing but it is a rare editor in this country at least who considers hi power as a weapon with which to inspire fear ra ther it it a power built upon faithful presentation of the news a power founded on justice and devoted to fur thering justice any deviation from this principle au tomatically weakens that power this is no doubt what that particular rural editor had in mind when he apologized for his error by making the correction he maintained his reputation for truth and strengthened his power another shot in the attack that was far wide of the mark mas the claim hat tmnll town weeklies do not give a true picture of life in their communities rural weeklies probably give the most complete record of their readers daytoday activities of any type of newspaper dailies whose subscribers are numbered in scores of thousands cannot match this intimacy of re porting and stilt maintain their accent on national and international news and to surgest that the scandal- laden puhlicatoiin of the ypo which laid the complaint give a true picture of life in their community would ccrtaink evoke some pretty frantic denials especially for instance in toronto the printed word me on we coal cmmt into waimtl ciothij
