And now the process seems to be hard at work in South America. Thus the only continent which has not seen a social up- heaval in the twentieth century is Austra- ia. . Although the trouble in British Guiana yn is no doubt inspired by Russia there is much in this colony that would lead to un- i rest even if Russia hadn't a single thing J ..to do with it. It has become interestingly "difficult for any major power to administer Ea any territory as a colony. And there are -only-the beginning episode in a movement that will eventually sweep the whole of the continent of South America for there ex- ~ists such extremes between poverty and wealth in that continent that even the power of the Catholic Church will not be able to suppress it any more than it was: able to suppress it in Mexico. And unless we take a much more cor: structive approach with regard to the pro: blems in South America we'll drive these people to seek leadership from Russia and to Accept Russia's domination.

BR LINDSAY-- ; The total value bt building permits issued in Lindsay this yr. rose to near the $1,000,000 mark in September, ac- cording to Assessor Harold Baty, whose office is now in charge: 'of issu-|T ing the permits. During September, ' 22 'residental permits, totalling $134,600, were taken out, while permits for other purposes totalled $8,120 for a total of $142,620.

'If this is a fact Uxbridge could well be celebrating her 166th birthday this month. '\ i : \ UXBRIDGE FINISH PAYMENT OF 30-YEAR 'H. S. DEBENTURE.

King, Mayor and William Hamilton, treasurer. 'I The- bonds 'bore 6% % interest, so this year completed payment of a total $164,812.00 for the $75, 000 of bor« rowed money. It has been decided by-Town Council to issue a booklet which will contain valuable information regarding the 'Town's appeal for more industries, FAs the booklet is to cost $100. or more and the Town has not that much ready cash for the purpose Ald. Harri- gaan objected to spending the amount "1 and editorial matter this year at a cost of probably five or six hundred dollars. Mayor Lamb 'was heartily in favour of proceeding 'with the booklet at once. Industrial Commission passed around sample copies from other cities and towns and stated that Lindsay was practically the only town of its size without such a booklet. COUNTIES APPOINT NEW ROAD SUPERINTENDENT AT SALARY OF $4,600 + George L. Totten of Orangeville, 27- year-old engineer, was appointed Road Superintendant at a special meeting held by Northumberland and Durham Counties Council Friday night at Co- bourg. He succeeds Jack Jordan who resigned to take a better paying job with Waterloo County. - Myr, Jordan had been receiving $4500 and asked for a $500 raise which he did 'not get. . He later resigned. LINDSAY-- The wild animal life is' definitely in the increase in the West Guilford area. Many farmers are reporting that corn fields have been ravaged by coons and in-some cases these marau- ders have raided vegetable._gardens. They also pay nightly visits to local garbage cans which they overturn and they also visit barns, woodsheds and storage sheds. If some sort of control is not devised for these destructive little animals an old fashioned coon hunt might well be organized. \ Nz : SUTTON WT ~ A tremendous increase in popula- tion for Sutton Village in the last year has been shown at completion of Assessor Harry Torrens' returns the Village population to a new high of 1826 of residients; plus a total of 796 assessed non-resident cottage owners, for a total of 2622. The return from Sutton to Provin- cial Dept. of Municipal Affairs of 1952 compilation showed .1228 resident. Therefore the increase of 598 for the year puts Sutton increase at 48.9% in the one year.

To gidénts have been commenting on the | public by sending their brain-storm to the editor to publish it just as it is written. Here's the Sun's com- ment, National Newspaper: Week when everything goes: _ Every once in a while we get a 'contributed picce of news along with 'a notation by the free-lance reporter: to: "Please print as written," or word- ing to that effect. And it never fails to raise the' hackles on the back of our neck. Sometimes we even get bawled out over the telephone by these reporters for "tampering" with their brain-childs before we send them to the linotype. We admit that we do tamper with them, but have no apology to make to the writers for taking that privi- lege. ~ What they don't realize is that newspaper copy must have a stylized form and that all "personalities" must be left out. Writing it is far differ- ent than sitting down and penning a letter to Aunt Maud. When you do that, it's okay to insert "we", "every- body enjoyed themselves," and such deseriptive phrases as "a lovely lunch," "speedy recovery", ete, but they have no place in newspaper re- porting:- Reporting. must be ohjec-| tive, not personalized opinion. And that's 'why we reserve the right to, use the editorial pencil. If you had a toothache, you wouldn't take it to a butcher; nor would you think of going to a doctqr for a knock in your motor, Our business is just as specialized, and yet it's the one business that most pe ple seem to know better, than the folks who are eating from it.

HIGH COST OF CLERKOCRACY "Clerkocracy", according to a sur- vey of industrial paper work and of- fice costs, has already gravely im- perilled ; the | efficiency of industry: Such, at any rate, is the view of U.S. management consultant Emett J. Leahy, who says that in the United States today there is one clerical wor- ker for every farmer.in the country. Here's a sampling of hight cost of clerkoeracy in the United States.
