TEVR8DAY, DEC. lSth, 1940 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO e A I.5U CUVPUrUti * ~ ~ ~a Aa4m~ COSTLY PENSION Now that thse dust of the reent steel strike i the United States bui begun to settie it is possible te get some measure of the gains and lousez. To assure its objective of mûtrement pensions of $100 monithly at 65, for employees of 25 years standing, the industry lost 10% of its annual steel pro- duction in the face of clamoring demands. What this will cost. as it fans out in the restricted produc- tion of Uhc industries dependent on steel1 is anyone's guesa, but it will be a sobering guess àt best. For the rest, the warkers lait $2110,000,000 in wages and Utei- dustry $50.000.000 in maintenance charges. Proving again that the strike is a deadly weapan and that pensions so achieved are as costly ta the worker as they are ta the public.--J.L.R. -;Ngge Yoîs A Cousin Gerrude?

An Address for Women Omly In Which Western Edllres -Gives HBer Views. on GahrNg ews It has a!ten been said, but neyer proven that women read the home-town.papers more thoraugh- ly than thé men. W-e are in- clined ta believe the statement and for that reasan we are pub- lishing extracts from a most in- formative and entertaining ad- dress on the subject "Women and the Weekly Press" dclivered at the annual convention of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association held at Jasper Park in September. The speaker was Mrs. H. D. Me- Corquadale, onc af the most cap- able editresses in weekly journa- lism in Canada, and for many years on the staff o! the High Rîvér (Alta.) Times o! which Charlie Clarke is the progressive and energctic publisher. (The men folk are forbidden ta, read this ar- ticle as it is FOR WOMEN ONLY). Do womcn approve of the weckly paper? Sa far as this audi- ence is conccrned, I don't think there could bc a dissenting voice. Wc certainly do approve of the weekly press. It is aur bread and butter and even aur occasional bit of cake. I think women in gencral are much in favar a! their hometown paper. It is the medium which la glad ta use their names in the social columna, ail their littie comings and goinga and their activities - usually with name printcd correctly and even the right initiaIs. The weekly paper havera aver thcmn frômi birth, through marriage and death. It la glad ta record ail the credit- able- incidents in the ycars lying bctween., And what la perhaps mare important, if any discredit- able little incidents crop up~, it can be caunted upon ta draw a discreet veil. FalthfuI Readers - Women as Readera: I think that again you will agree that women are the moat faithful readers o! the home paper. For anc thîng their moat intense interest lies in their familles and then in the surrounding cammunity. The wecklies tao have as their major interest the surrounding coin- munity. Sa the two should get along famously and they usually do. Women feel a proprietory in-; tereat in their home paper as the mirror o! the district. They feel fteeccalea up the editor, ta ex- press tpiniona, ta disagrec or ap- prove. The point is, they rend it. They make sure the family sub- acrîptian doca not run out. At least we gather that f rom the men who appear at the office from time ta time ta say sheepishly MIy wife sure raised Cain with me last wcek because we didn't get aur paper". Women as Contributors: This mustn't be made any man-woman issue because where would we be without the men? But the good- will of the wamen la mighty im- portant. One instance might be given o! womens response toaa periodic appeal which the Times makes ta have every arganizatian appoint.,â press secretary. In this, the women's organizations have reaponded much mare satisfact- orily than the men. They scem ta realize the value of publicity in prescnting the highlights o! their meetings, and keeping their aima and objectives before the people. And they sec ta it that the press secretary la anc of the best and brightest af their mcm- bere. They Like ta Talk Womcn as Correspondents: Wc have faund it almost impossible ta interest men in sending in sys- tematically weekly budgets of news from rural centres. It doesn 't scem ta be in their line ta ait down after a hard day's work and record the littie incidents. Thc.y could give us splendid coverage OGDENS FINE CUT .IASY TO ROLL-DULIOHTFUL TO SMOKI Befrlend Newcomers I. think the greateat single achievement which can be credit- ed ta women, and is worthy o! ail news-space, is what they have done in Canadianizatian of immi- grants-more than ahl legisiative enactmcnts, proclamations, or fine talk o! politiciana-j ist plain neighboring is their simple for- mula but they take it seriously and work at it. The average community, in the west particularly, bas its own sprinkling af people unfamiliar with the Canadian tangue. The iciendiy amile, the warm hand- clasp are gaod international coinagre but they don't go far cnaugah. The women realize that thei quiekeat way ta anyone'a heart la ta feel needed and wanted. Sa it all happens quite simpiy. Someone sayas "Ther's a new famîly maved inta the .Iahnston place down the road" and somne neighbor la deputized ta see "that the mother of the house ia taken ta the hext wamen's meeting in the district. The waman's grasp o! the Canadian tangue may be very meagre, but they do make her realize that she has somnething ta give. In time they persuade her ta demonstrate the handicrafts o! her aid land, ta share recipes. Later on she may be persuaded ta give a littie taik'on the customs a! hec native land. She entertains the club at hec home, is expected ta heip at events in the cammunity hall. Soon she becomes a real part a! the neighborhood. The men mix freely enough in exehange o! work and in business. The children attend schcooi. It is the retiring women folk who may be le!t taa much alane. But if the mother feels she belonga, the whole famiiy belongs, and Can- adianization la apeeded up by anc gencration. This is your wcekly paper, s0 close ta the people, which doca recognize the value o! this bcd- rock building which church groupa and wamen's organizatians are carrying on. We do like ta give these newcomers a special spread for anything o! a progress- ive nature thcy may do. We like ta do our own littie part in this Canadianization. More Freedom Womnen as Workccs an the Weekiy: "Lastly" as the ministers say, we think a! the wock as re- porter on a country weekly as the moat wonderful job on earth. For many years I belonged ta the Canadian Women's Press Club, and returned !rom evcry conven- tion rejaicing that my lot was cast with the country weekly. Meeting these city women. even those with responsible editorial positions, I felt that on the coun- try wveekly the writec had mare liberty, xvas freer fcom strict cules and regirnentation, had grenter vacicty of work and per- Skinny men, womer gain 5, 10, 15 Ibs.

These women have a niée feeling for glving credit where credit ïs due; for, bringing in ncw names, for smoathing over littlc cçleavages à nd for suppress- ing any personal prejudice. Wheedle Their Men *There seem ta be na cammunity projetts in which women arceflot equally interested. For example wc have anc noteworthy under- taking i n Our towxL, The Mexinorial Centre, a $125,000 project said ta be unique in any town in Canada of comparable size. It us truc that the $60,000 or more in cash do- nations was raised largely by the men, but the womcn upheld them in teas, dances, bridges, in spon- soring booths and in many ingen. loua waya ta swell the funds. This is the samne with al. the lit tle coin- munity halls that dot the country- aide. The womcn wheedle. bully and feed their men into the do- nating o! labor. They get together for ail these projeets. Our Pioncer Credit -Union in High River is anc example of ail- waman enterprise that bas fur- nished us gaad copy. In the de- pression years, aur wamen- country wamen of coure-began ta study Credit Union objectives, long before the men knew what they were talking about. Af ter gathering ail the information they could, the wamnen ventured or- ganization-about thirty o! themn. That was in depression years when auch prînciples o! sel!-help made a strong appeal. Today there is by no meana the samie neceasity, but these womnen have been imbued with the idea ta such an extent that in the last three months they have loaned $9.900 amongst their awn members. And the membership la round 160. The "Pioncer" Credit Union was so namcd because it was the first ail woman C.U. ta be formed i Canada, and s0 far as is known, on this continent. Today it is still the only all-woman Credit Union, as far as wvc know, in Canada and U.S.A. haps was dloser ta human beings.

It means forbearance in little an- nayandes, tolerance of other viewpoints, fair dealing, kind- nessea extended wholeheartedly and Accepted ii7holeheartedly and an immediate rallying in case of trouble or ernergency. In a criais At isn't your friends yau cali on. It is the neighbors Who take over and sce you through. True it does mean discipline, adjustment, but it also means a wonderful feeling of security. Yon can't beat the word "Neighbqr". No Scnsationallsm Sa the overhang of neighborîng is almost 'bound to have its -in- fluence on the weekly press mn the writing of news. When trage- dy occurs, we cannot blazon it, exploit the victims, squeeze every ounce of juice out of it, expose suffering people to the blare of publicity. Our readers don't want it that way. They don't want it in the printed records of their home paper. A suicide for example, or an accident in which no one1 is ta blame, we do try to cover up a bit unless some good purpose is ta be served by roaring publicity. I know that one cardinal rule o! the press is the truth, the whole truth, but Fra sure most o! you will agree that there are times when the truth is much over rated virtue. Mercy bas place in aur viewpoint too. 0f course a small town weekly bas much difficulty in finding new news with whi.ch to astound the public. Most of it is already known and thoroughly talked over before it ever gets into print. And unfortunately it isn't even interestingf news when it does get inta print nothing as sensational as has been exchanged aver the back fence or in the community hall. By the time we strip gay streamers and fine embroidery of fancy from the story that is going own cammunity," stated Mr. Rutledge, "but its flot really any- thing against them; the problem arises anly because the people in Deep River are ordinary human beings. The moral is obviaus: when it approaches the point where everything is being donc for yau, you lose interest in do- ing for yoursel-and then the the rounds, it emerges as a pretty bare anacmnic piece of writing. Its only virtue is that it is close ta fact, I think all of us who work on weekly ncwspapers will agree that At is endlessly fascinating. You are constantly learning something new, except perhaps new adjectives ta describe wed- dings and Ladies Aid Teas. That is the cross we have ta bear.

There is the stimulation of nçw projects, new municipal schemes, new build- ings, new roads, advance in the schools, hospitalization, and s0 on. But ta rcturn ta the women, nat long ago a city editor asked my opinion on a certain enactment of legisiature. I replied very doubtfully that I couldn't make up my mind till I had talked it over with same o! the country women. Aftcr awhile he replicd "I believe that is a good thing ta do. Keep in touch with thema and you are bound ta reach a sane conclusion." Sa I try ta keep in touch with my old friends, the country women. Their feet are planted firmly on the gooid earth, the source of aur blessings. aur strength and aur sanity. Utopia Is Not a Town Without Taxes "The experience of the model town af Deep River, Ontario- where there are no taxea-is a good indication of what would happen ta us in the ao-called 'welfare state', where a benevo- lent bureaucracy wauld be 'ail- wisc, all-good, all-powerfui'," said Joseph Lister Rutledge, Chairman o! the Canadian Unity Council. Mr. Rutledge was cam- menting an the reports that the 2,000 people in the atamnie city of Deep River had shown no inter- est in an attempt ta have them create a community cauncil ta handle their own local govern- ment. Deep River, neighboring Chalk River, is a gavernment-created city with a hospital, 44 recreation clubs and houses renting from $22 ta $65 a month. Authorities blame lack of interest in self-govern- ment on the fact that cammunity services are provided without taxation. .It Migýht seem a shocking shortcoming for these people flot ta want ta bother running their CHEVROLET-M and Chevrolet alone-. off 'ers you ail these EX TRA VAL UES at lowest fcost HELP TO COMPLETE THE NEW HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDRN UNIVERSITY AVENUE, TORONTO: BUILDING FUNO OBJECTIVE $4,000,00 GIVE GENEROUSI.Y THROUGH YOUR LOCAL BANK C-21498X Roy COURTICE w. real danger la that anything cal%2 be done ta you.
