(continued from front page) German democracy, rendered invalu- able services to the national-socialist cause. The Soviets, past masters in the art of propaganda, have estimated these possibilities correctly. Who could turn the pages of Working Russia and not remain impressed by the magnitude of the effect and the technical advance in all fields? These pictures are true, but photographs of the plants filled with unutilizable tractors, of bread lines and starving children in the Ukraine would be no less true, As for the economic pressure that is brought to bear upon the press it is so obvious that any mention is real- ly superflous. The government, for the first, can exercise this pressure by granting reduced rates only for pass sages conceived in very clear lang- uage, or by obstructing with various means the diffusion of news it hap- pens to dislike, The modern requirements have made a big commercial undertaking of every important newspaper. As such "it réquires capital, that is, the support of banks and financieys, Once. this starts, a newspaper becomes a link in the endless chain of groups, trusts, syndicates, holdings, ete., which form the impenctrable jungle of modern cconomy. In the last analysis, the commercial policies of these groups, which in certain countries are identi- fied with politics, determine the char- acter pf the publication. The tendency toward concentration is as strong in the press as in every other field of economy, In the United States there were fifty-six newspaper- chains in 1931, with a total circulation of 17 million copies. In Great Britain we have the Rothermere, Beaverbrook, Berry and Inveresk groups; in Germ- any, Hugenberg, Mosse, Ullstein, and so forth, and even Japan is not ex- empt from these developments. Com- mercial considerations are not the only ones which these groups must obey, The Rothermere creations, for example, pursue political aims. Some newspaper trusts are linked with great commercial and industrial inter- ests. Hagenberg owns the greater German film concern, the "Ufa," a most influential press agency and a few score papers. Imagine the im- partiality of his film critics! To sum up, the situation, briefly, is the following: The telegraph, with or without wires, permits us to transmit news at the rate of 2400 signs per minutre, at a speed of about 200,000 miles per second, Powerful presses turn out up to 40,000 copies of a 16-page paper in one hour. - Thanks to the airplane, the newspaper that comes out of the press in Paris at 5 a.m. can be bought in London at 8 am. Yet we do not know what is really happening in Germany, our next-door neighbour. We ignore the real economic situation of Italy and we cannot say whether the famine in Ukraine, dwelt upon at length by certain papers, is a legend invented by elements hostile to the Soviet re- gime, or a sad failure of an exagger- atedly proud system. We have absolutely no means to dig from under the heap of interests, de: formations, transpositions, interpreta- tions, the true picture of things with which we could ensure the integrity of information. There are countless newspapers, but their most important primary material, political informa- tion, is the monopoly of a few busi: -ness undertakings, linked "among - themselves; powerful to be sure, but compelled by their very power to réckon with the forces liable to put sticks into the wheels--governments, the lords and masters of trade and in- dustry, and so forth. .

Unfortunately, the politicians and reformers who cry in the wilder- ness forget to give us the prescription for this enfranchisement. Only the State can emancipate the press from the slavery of finance. The example of various dictatorial coun- tries enables us to study the advan- tages and disadvantages also of this system. We have Russia, Italy, Germany-- three systems. In Russia, there are no privately owned newspapers but there is government censure and self- censure for fear of sanctions. There is an increase inthe circulation paral- ell with the decline in quality. The re- sult: the people are tired of sermons and seek diversion in political wise- cracks and anecdotes, In Ttaly there are privately owned newspapers , but the government is at the same time the age of the, directs their policies down to the most warped newspaper information smallest detail. Germany, finally, has achieved in a few weeks what it took Russia and Italy years to achieve: namely, thé complete surrender of the press and all affiliated organizations to the regime. More countries are headed for a State controlled press. After the great dictators, Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, also the minor ones have learned to ap- preciate the value of the press and the militia, "Force and propaganda!" is the slogan of the modern dictator. The press has passed through an evolution but our conception of its role and functions has remained essential- ly that of nineteenth century liberal ism, which saw in the freedom of the press the best guarantee of the civic rights, However, the freedoms of the press, so dear to our fathers, is but a histori- | cal reminiscence to-day.

In the afternoon a juvenile choir will have charge of the singing under the able leadership of Miss Mildred Croxall and in the evening the Clarke Brothers whose musical talent is so highly appreciated will be the singers, It is hoped that these services will be widely advertised that a full church will be the order of the day. The other churches on the circuit have called off their church services to enable the sister congregations to concentrate their attention on the special services at Epsom. Christie-Clapghton Families Hold Annual Re-union at Utica. On August 18th the Christie- Claughton families held a most enjoy- able re-union on the lawn of the United Church at Utica. It is most fitting that tribute should be paid to the leaders of these families who contribute so largely to the well being of the community, = It will be many years before the name of Mr, Peter Christie ceases to be a household name among us. He was a man of unblemished character and integrity and he was held in great honour and esteem by all. It is only a few short months ago that he was called to a higher service after having fought a strenuous and well-fought battle below. Mr, Christie was much loved and respected by all who knew him and even those 'who did not think : exactly ps he did politically regarded him' as 'a gentleman in' 'Whom there was no guile. ; Mr. Christie was a devoted, servant of the Township of Reach for the | Well- being of. which he laboured' so long and strenuously, and had the honour of winning-the devotion of the whole community, It was only'a very short while before he passed from the life militant to the life triumphant, he announced with just pride that when he offered his services as Reeve of the Township of Reach he succeeded in obtaining every vote polled in the community save one. Then shortly afterwords he was elected to serve ment. It is small wonder that having J.such a splendid father his son Grant should be honoured to serve for this term as Warden, It is the hope of the community that the name of Christie may long continue to be -| honoured and esteemed in our com- munity life, Then the name of Claughton is also much esteemed throughout the Town- ship of Reach. This family for very many years led the spiritual life of the community. Mrs. John Claughton, who passed to her reward in March, 1925, was be- loved and revered for her leadership 'in spiritual matters. , She brought up her family in the fear and admonition of the Lord and her influence for good was wide- spread throughout the whole com- munity. She also fought a good fight and finished her course and did much in the community to keep the spiritual fires burning. Her sainted memory still lingers in every true heart for the 'fragrance of her life is still sweet and precious in the whole district today. Such lives as these are patterns for us; for if these pioneers could live such serviceable lives what is to pre- vent us doing the same? for we live under much easier conditions than tHey. The promise is: "They that honour 'me I will honour. "These good people proved it. They respected God and they honoured Him and they in turn were loved, respected and honoured by all, jt MOTHERS' ALLOWANCE BOARD HELD REGULAR MEETING LAST WEEK : (Oshawa Daily Times) The chief investigator "of . the Mothers' Allowance Commission of Ontario, Harry Bentley, of Toronto, was in. attendance at the regular lowance Board on Tuesday night of this week, and tabled statistics re. garding the activities of the Commis. gion 'ih Oshawa for thie year ending July 81 of thia year, his constituency in the Federal Parlia- meeting of the Oshawa Mothers' Al-| was 62 who received payments at some time or another during the year, these - beneficiaries being either the guardians or parents of 1566 children. The majority of the families who benefit in this city under the provi- sions of the Mothers' Allowance Act have two children under sixteen. years of age, these families numbering 25. Seventeen families have three child- ren. under sixteen, nine families have four children, seven families one child, three families five children and one local family which benefitted during the year had seven children. MANCHESTER We were down at the store talking about the crops, the weather, horses, cars, areoplanes and so on. This was 20 or 26 years ago when areoplanes were unbelievable affairs and some chap was wondering if he could fly a plane across Lake Ontario. Cars were quite an uncommon sight and if one did happen to pass on a rare occasion, we'd all run to look from the time it hove into sight until it dis- appeared. Those cars were going at]. a frightful speed, almost 20 miles an hour, and they tell me that last Wed- nesday night a car was ditched down the road a piece, and going nearly 80] miles an hour, I saw that same car at McKenzey's Garage on Thursday right then, "You for the junk heap, old car!" It had' only gone a little over 3000 miles. = Seems to me as though Mr. Purdy and the late Dr. Mellow of Port Perry were among the first around these parts to drive cars. Robt. Walker drove one and also Bob Holtby. Just look at the flock around here now! ' : and talk. And on wet or cold' nights we'd go inside and sit around the 'old box stove on benches, boxes, nail' 'kegs or the first thing: that come handy. Who would be there? Well, I could tell you easier who wouldn't be there, because almost every family. for a good piece around was represented, and what we didn't talk about as we sat there smoking, isn't worth men- tioning. Then maybe a customer would come in and we'd listen as each item was ordered. And when the customer went out maybe we talkea about them and maybe we didn't. I remember one night a customer ordered some pepper and as Jim Munro, he was storekeeper then, measured it out, he spilled some and that set us all sneezing. Remarks flew high and how we did "Dang a customer that would order pepper." None of us would have missed going down there for a good bit, but now--. Well, for one thing, a lot of our old gang have passed on, or moved away. Down at the garage there's sometimes a bunch of young chaps around but only one or two of the old gang show up once in a while. We watch the cars go drifting by, no novelty now, discuss the latest models, airflows, knee action springs, and how our car goes. And on a rare occasion we'll watch from time it hoves into sight until it disappears, an uncommon sight around here these days, a horse and buggy. A number from here have been at- tending the Toronto Exhibition and I suppose eating hot-dogs and ham- burgers. I wonder if any brought floppy ears, they were at the Ex. by the thousands. Congratulations to Archie Crosler on coming in second in the 100 yard dash and winning a real nice -medal. Archie sure is some sprinter. Jean Ferguson is visiting at her home here. Sorry to hear that Ernie Holtby lost a cow. The price of beef may not be going up very fast, but nevertheless one isn't very happy when a cow just up and dies because its usually worth something and sometimes quite a bit, Earl Mitchell spent a day in To- ronto last week.
