THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1938 Guest Editorials Appreciated For the past three weeks the editoriai coluxns have beeti wrilteni by niembers of the Town Council, Lions Club and Rotary Club. The editoriais published were un- censored by any member of the Statesman staff, and the wrters were aI liberty to write on any topic, even to criticize this newspaper if they saw fit. Perhaps as a matter of courtesy they refrainied from erîticism. but xve assure the writers that criticism would have been reeeived in the spirit wilh which itl iad been g,,iveii, that of friendly constructive criticism. Man '% newspapers have comînented on the unique opportunîty gîven these groups of voicing their opinions through the edi- tonial columuns of tbi'ý newspaper, as will lie seeti bv the cominenîs reproduced on this page. it is orily natural oit our return to assume these duties that we comment on the editonials which appeared. The Council Editorials On August llth the Counciil provided thrce editorials. The first "~Canîada ('als- Citizeiis Awake." if itot entirely accurate as lte Globe and MNail and lte Financial Post suggtrests at least did provide ample scope for thoîîght. The seconîd e(itoriai dealt with tise'duties of electeti anîd ap)- pointc(l officiais of a rnuniipality. andi were iu essence ait explaitation of thie Municipal Act's provisions. The third (ouncil editorial dealt w i t li two vital topies as thie editorial put thein "Tie Re-appointmeîît of a Public' Ilealth .Nurse-' aiid 'Assessiîîg Epon tihe Rate- payeî's. a ,sutfficient sum requested by lise 11mbi Seliool Board."' The first problemi eau hardlv be said 10 be fairly designated. The Counicil w-as niot presented with tise pro- bleni of the reappoinlînent of a llealth Nurse. That w-as the Board of llealth's dutv.

The Lions Editorials Th.e Lions editorials dealt witli a variely of ýsubjects, wet'e short and 10 lise point. They discnssed taxation, the Lions Club, the Beach Road, Fat People, and Street Numbering. This latter malter is onee Ibat council siîould discinss and decide upon.

Wbich we'll be only too pleased ta stop probably is a botter way thanj aside. The chair is hene, the ink- endeavouring ta make every edi- tonial a dictatorial e d i c t o n thought and action. Editorials which make people think are the ones which have value, and when people think we get from them other ideas wilh which la build up lhoughts for others. And s0 il goes. There are t'mes when we wonder if we're getting anywhere, others when we feel vastly encouraged. Which, afler all, is the way a gaad many of us feel about things thal we do, or try ta do in life. Ta admit camplete failure would be either hypocrisy or an absurd degree of self abasement. To as- sume that one was the one su- preme leader of thought and ac- lion would be even worse. The general idea is ta try and hit an average, keep ane's feet on the ground, and one's eyes looking ta the stars. And abave ail, not ta mix metaphors like this. COUNCIL WRIITES EDITORIALS (Fergus News-Record) As we write these columns on Fniday, the big convention of the Canadian Weekly Nowspapers Association is under way in Van- couver, followed by a week-end trip ta Victoria. Undaubtedly those editors and their wives wha were able ta go woulco have a grand lime. Even an the shorter trips, they become like one big family and have a great deal of fun. On a transcontinental trip, there is an even belter opportun- ity ta gel acquainted. We're sorry we hadn't either the lime or the money ta go wilh them Ibis month. Our aId friend, George James, of the Bowmanville Ca n ad ia n Statesman, is president of the C.W.N.A. Ihis year, and while bo's away, he bas turned over his edilonial page 10 other wrilers. Last week, members of the Bow- manville Town Council took over the editorial dulies, held a special meeting or two, and produced three quile long edilorials. For Ihat malter, the edilorials were 100 long, running over a columo in lengtb in each case. But thal's a faull unseasoned wrilers are sure la make when tbey gel an opportuniîy of Ibal kind present- ed ta them. This week. the Lions Club will lackle the job, and next week. the Rolarians will do the work. What kind of editorials would you write if you had an appor- lnnily la take over a page for a weck? You would want ta do yaur best, of course, and s0 you would probably choose some in- spiring tille - and tbal's exactly wbat the Bowmanville Council did! The first wide-measure col- umn is headed by the tille: "Can- ada Calîs-Citizens Awake.'" The second article tolls of the dulies impased on the elecled afficials. The third, and last, deals wilh lwo questions wbicb have corne up be- fore the Council this week, justi- fying the stand tbey took each time. Incidentlly, in aI leasl one case, the Council was criti- cized for ils action by the edilar who is now giving lhem a chance ta reply. RESPONSIBILITIES 0F AN EDITOR (Financial Post) The town of Bowmanville boasîs one of the besl weekly newspapers in Canada. Establisb- ed 84 years ago il is the property of the James family. George W. James, ils present editor, has, duning the past year, been presi- dent of tbe Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. Ho is one of the ablest editorial writers in Canada. The Weekly Newspaper Associ- ation recently beld ils annual meeting in Vancouver. While aI- tendîng the Pacifie coast delib- erations, Edîtor James turned bis edilorial page aven ta varions cammunity gronps as a forum for their ideas. The firsl week the Iawn council sal in the edilorial chair; thon the Lions and Rotary Clubs followed suit. Newspapers all ovor Canada have referred ta Ibis as an in- teresling and enterprising stunt. Tbey imply il was a successful experiment. But was il? Judged by the claptrap cantIn- buted in the leading editorial by the tawn council, the oxporiment bas put the Statesman in a most anomalous position. Il bas per- milled same ananymous persan- vaguely identified as a member of the Iawn council-to place on record in ils editorial columns sncb inaccurato, misleading and inflammatory statomonts as these: Thal in Canada 15 families control 40% of the weallb. Thal one persan gots 58.9% of the national incamo. That in Canada the million dollar incarne. is laxed 9.8% wbile tbe workingman's sugar is taxed 20%. Thal under aur economic system "many soxv Ihal a few may reap." These are but lypicai. Surely an edilor bas an obliga- lion ta bis cammunity ta assume more responsibility for the stale- ments made in the edilorial*cal- umn of bis paper! Ho may open it la a fair debate on opposite sides of some public question. But should ho permit il ta be the vehicle for mendaciaus propaganda? The editor of thé Stalesman, wben be gets home fnom bis trip, sbould explain la bis readers what ho tbinks about sncb misrepno- sentations.
