A. G. Racey in the Montreal Daily Star, Nov. 12, 1935. OUR AIM The main aim of the weekly newspaper, as the name implies, is to give news of its own district. R may have other aims, such as to give the merchants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public opinion through its editorials but first of all it must give news. Some of this news is not easily obtained and no editor can cover it all without assistance. Especially is it true when you have visitors. A great many of the ladies think that the personals are the most interesting reading in the whole paper. Your visitors are usually glad to have their names appear, so send them in. Sometimes people come in and give the impression that they are asking a favor when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have been spending a few days with them. No person need feel that way about giving us news for we are glad to get it. HENS always scratch hardest when the worms are scarce. The hens have nothing on us;. We're certainly digging our toes in to subscriptio the arrears on our list. If you are in you oblige with a Read your label !
