Later on you won a sweetheart, In the church were safely wed; Did that old hometown newspaper Lose all int'rest, cut you dead? No! It gave such glowing write-up, So admired your beauteous bride, That your soul was filled with rapture, And your heart near burst with pride. Were you hero in an accident, A drowning or a fire?

It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported in their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that all these various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff. Do you need any of the followng?
