JAMES, Editor. THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941 Wartinie Advertising Thc WcelY Press with a membership nearing the 500 mark in 1.45 national organ- izatian, Thc Canadian Weckly Newspapers .Association, lias gradually emcrgcd from its inferiarity coxuplex until now it i1.8rccog- nizedý by goverrnents, finance, industry aud commerce a4àliaving a conunandmng place in the affairs of the nation. The ev- idence of this 1.8 found in this issue of The Statesman. It will be observed that nat only U the goverument but Masscy-Harris Co., Bell Telephone Co., Canadian Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal, aud Noranda Mines Lt'd., have souglit space for advcrtising and ta, "4xoost" the Victary Loan.. Ail this is of eomparitivcly rcc'cnt yet significaut devlap- ment. Many Weeklies across Canada carry Y these advertisements this week and ail are appreciative of this trend toward mutual cooperation in wartime. It 1.8 a healtliful dcvclopment ini these trying tintes that thase concerned witli large affaira naw turu ta the Wceklies ta carry these messages ta ane- third of Canada's population.. Rural Canada lias been'awakened ta the impaDrtancc of the local ncwspaper because of-its consistent backing of the Canadian Federatian of Agriculture and the lead it lu now taking ta extend and consolidate their mutual intercsts. National uews and vicws are mare sud more finding expres- sion arnong the weeklies. Tke Weekly Press 1.8 stcadily iucrcasing iu prestige, in influence and in circulation and these facts are reflected in its news, editorial aud advertising columus. Goveru- ments particularly are increasingly appreci- ative of the power and influence ai the pap- ers that serve rural Canada. This "liuking- Up 'of ail these elements is indeed a mani- festation ai the inter-dependence whidli is part and parcel af democracy. All are concerucd witl Canada 's ever in1- te.nsifying struggle ta achieve a dominant place in mass production ai war goads and the mobilization of the wealth of the nation ta the end that we finish, successfully, the great task we are lu. Anather thing af importance is the gen- eral toue of these modern sdvcrtigemeuts. It1 wiil be noted that they are, gcneraily, models of the educative and interpretive type of advertising. These not only attract the1 reader but provide important informa- tion. Iu this issue, the public wiil learu somthing of the new Unemployment Insur- suce sdheme; of finance; af wly the Victory Loan and th. Departmnent af National De- fence. Ail af this information is compiled sud prescuted by experts and readers arc invitcd ta, read tlim carefully. The Cradie of Education The Chiristian churcli was the 'cradie af our modern educational system sud until recent times was cboschy connected with sec- ular education tîrougli private sdhoals, col- leges and universities. But folowing th. saine modern trend which 1n0 langer stops ta draw thec hue betwccn liberty and license, patrons of education have lad no qualrns lu making a rather complet. job of eimin- ating religion. Some persoa apparen.tly sec nothing Iý wrong in tise fact that millions of children on 4hs continent are growing up with no regular teaching about God. Others rccog- S nize the problem, but sec no way of meeting it. One graup believes a form of ethical training lu the achools eau provide a suh- stituite without violating the palicy of sep- lectual14wiie Wbohn the * ~teinsists that evryboy and grl b. educated today it compbetely ignares tiie importance a religion. If it was ramp- aut denomiuatioUia-4m that caused the swing frai religion thia lo surely the time ta take advgttage of towgty of Canadians in al mattriers are down apply for them. Sa this messaEre le ta say that, if you are under the minimum,.>,ou can wvrite ta Ottawa and recover wlat the gov- ernment has taken wrongfully. Fariners L2cncrslly won't have ta bother witl this tax, but tîcre are plenty wlio are dodging it. It 1.5 one more came where the gavernment is stricken witli ineptitude. 4No - bang -up 6'ALL and reaffirm that it 1.8 the spirit rather than the form which is important in worship. Universities of today, even those nomin- ally under the church, are completely secul- arized. Putting it bluntly, church. colleges are doing littie ta make their graduates church-goers or ta convince them of the power of Christianity. No one wants ta go back ta the days of the "lieli-fire" evangelist8 who reaily got resuts-of a type, but there is a grawing feeling that religion has something essential ta offer which aur generation miust again fiud. That is why religion sliould be sought in the home, in the sehools and in the cliurch. More Than An Investmient G. W. Spinney, Executive Cliairman of the Victory Loan Organiatio;i, is a top ex- ecutive of anc of Canada 's great banks. As such, lie might have been ýexpected ta dis- cuss the big loan fromi the angle of invest- ment, ini termis of securitY and interest. But when addressing a large gathering of Victory Loan workers in Toronto the other evening lie said this: "I met a young man a few niglits ago in the Chateau Laurier at Ottawa. He was just about ta go overseas as a Pilot Officer, aud was rcferring quite frankly ta the fact that the life of a combat pilot in actual warfare is numbered only in hours. I asked him how lie felt about it. His answer shows the spirit of the youth of this country. He wasn't con- sidering lis own life at al; lie was consider- ing only what lie must do for Canada. He said: 'The government now lias a $25,O0 investment in me, and 1 certainly must gpt a couple af Jerries for fliat before they get me.'y "COan Canadians witlilild money in the face of a spirit like that? I leave tlie answer ta yoi. " Mr. Spinney set a splendid example in this manner of approaching the public ta enlist wholelearted support for the Loan.' If citizens at home are as unselfiali as the voung man ta whom Mr. Spinney spoke, the Ljoan wil be well oversubscribed. War Kits Bowinanviile The question lias been mooted among sev- eral in this district as to whenthe commun- ity, generally, would wake up and realize fully that we are up against a war of un- precedented severity a.nd of long duration. We have been watching for evidence of it and at last have fouud an instance whicli forecasts a trend we must expect ta see ex-: tended widely as more and mare men are called ta action; that is, that girls and wo- meu must be prepared ta take their places as soldiers on the home front. We, consequently congratulate Evelyn Taylor, graduate nurse, who, during spare timie, is taking on the messenger and deliv- ery service for Ernie Lunu 's grocery store. It was found impossible ta get male help so Miss Taylor volunteered and she iis en- titled ta, a medal as the first girl ta volun- teer ta tabac over a man 's job in this town. There lias been and will be talk and action in regard ta conscripting women before this war is over and Miss Taylor lias beaten the dictum. Another thing that greets the eye and is causing comment is the slow and painfu.l process of getting the flags and decorations up along the streets during the drive on the Victory Loan. Out-of-towners have com- mented upan it. The question is asked: "What is wrong witli Bowm.anville ascom- pared witli other townsl" . .. and the ans- wer resta with the people wlio daim ta be as leaderless locaily as Canadians are nation- ally. 'Phere eau. be no pity for whimperers when the Hun is at the gates. National Defence Tax Hansard reports a farnier M.P. asking the Minister of Finance on May 15, whetlier lie sliould deduct the National Defence Tai from a farm laborer, under lire at $2.50 ta $3.00 per day. The reply was: "If the man id' an eniployee, the tai must be deducted even if the man is cmployed for oûly a wcek or two . . . if the rate of pay would amount ta over $660.00 per year ... and the money dcducted must be sent ta thc governx*ent. That 1.8 the law; but how many farmers are doing it t Yes, and how many small town businesses are meticulous in the iiatter of thia tax ?

"' The Function Of Tue ]Reporter A reporter is af uecessity an impersanal observer af thc happenings of the com- munity. Oiiicially, it matters 11.441 ta hlm wlat action a town councîl may, take lu any given motter.

That phrase adequately describes the reporter 's attitude toward auy assigument lie is cailed upon ta caver. He slould not be cxpectcd ta take part in 4h. proceedingsa unless le is personsily intemest- cd as a member ai the group. A reporter reeuntly covercd a tempemance meetin g sud was asked ta express his opinion ou the- liquar question. Thlis he declincd ta do, sud rightly so, because le was attending the meeting as, a representative of lis news- paper sud not as s member ai the Temper- suce Federation., Newspaper reporters are oiten asked ta keep things out of the paper, or ta sait pedal an some news item. Thc conscientious reporter will neyer make auy promises ta, do this. This is thc prerogative ai the editor ouly. snd the only thing a reporter eau do is take the matter up with lis editor. Some- times a bribe is oflered, and if anc realhy wauts to a camuth1 ill-will ai a reporter this is tIe surcst -way ta do it. The newspaper- man who accepte a bribe lu breakiug faith with lis profession, and he neyer remains a ncwspapctmlau very long. Reporters have a very diicult job. Tley are surmouuded by people who want spccial favours that lic las flot the power ta grant. Iu praticslly evemy instance the reporter is worthy ai the fullest confidence.
