Our plrofreaders, reporters, compositars, lino- type operators and page proaf checkers b.ïd been doing a wonderful job whicV mnust have been the envy of other papers 4tross the country. .You really have no idea how careful we are in aur efforts to avoid mnistaýces. Our reporters check their stories for correct fàtcts, preper spefllng of names, absolute accuracy on quotaticns from speake rs, etc. After the story is written aur editorial staff again checks the story fortpunctua- tien, spelling, and sa on. After teh head- lngs have been written with great care and deliberation, the linotype qperators take over- with ail their akill. A proof is Pulled of the material they set and the proof readers scan it for orrors. The com- positers very carefully insert any correc- tions which are made. The page makcup moen handie the type with tenclerness ¶vhen it is àssembled int pages. Bei are a mat is roiled, we have anather proof ai the page which is again checked. Oh, we tealiy are a careful group of citizens, because we know full weil that we can have thousands of words spelled correctly in the paper, but anc mistaioe is, more naticeable than al the rest. Last week, everybody had a relapse. Two of the staff were off sick on aur busiest day, Wednesday, so the rest were doing their work at the double. The resuit w'as a hast of boners whieh will take us same time ta live down. We apologuze Srofusely end assure aur readers it won't appen again - until the next lime. From front page ta back we were in trouble. Our reporter at the scene of the Taylor fire was wrong in net reportinig the Rural Hydre crew as the main helpers on the bucket brigade.

Ail in all il was a bad week, ai the type editers and the entire staff shudder ut. The gremlins certalnly had a field day, but we are once again ut full strenglh and hope ta have most ai lhem rouled eut ai the gears this week. But, we won't be sure until aur eagle-eyed readers tàke a look. They always spot errors we neyer see. Là Those in the know, be they Gril er Tory, give Hon. W. A. Goodfellow great credit for cleaning up the Weliare Dopant- ment at Queeri's Park and putting il on a more efficiént and practical basîs. In one inistance, we are told a blitz was made on çbsolete documents when ne iewer than 177,000 files conîaining somo 4,000,000 documents were microfiumed.
