Not pressed by the need for "sensationalism to sell papers" the Editor can and usually does weigh carefully, the opinions he or she offers. So many of us look to the paper to help us reach our conclusions, paper and the Weekly Editor, at any rate, is at one and the same time placed in an enviable and difficult position. It is to their credit, generally, that good thought, common sense, and well balanced judgment are usually reflected in their Editorials. Our new publishers and' Editors have de- monstrated already they are fully possess- ed of all the good attributes needed by a a Weekly Editor to provide and sustain readership interest. a I know it will be a source of great pride and satisfaction for Port Perry folk to wel- come back one of "our own boys'--William Harrison (or Bill, as he is well known). Bill learned the printing business in Port Perry--he began an interest, I believe, un- der the late Mr. Samuel Farmer, who start- ed the family tradition of our local paper. For a man of his relatively few years, he is a veteran in the newspaper field and all of his time has been with the weekly. To Bill will go every good wish for his ote} a an po ure in the Weekly newspaper world and he reached that place of eminence through his own hard work and studious application to duty. Speaking to Editors, and I think to Weekly Editors particularly it is hard to escape the feeling that the paper is more ~§ form our opinions, on many questions of than a business--a livelihood--it is a part the day. This puts a great responsibility of the family, part of themselves. In this, on those who write and publish the news- Mr. Farmer was no exception. A man of strong convictions, he never flinched from standing by them even though they were not always popular. With a strong sense of fairness, most tolerant in his approach, possessed of a deep social consciousness, he tried always to present the news as he saw and interpreted it. He left a mark that will not soon be erased. But "The old order changeth, yielding place to new" and so it is that a new era begins for the Port Perry Star. May it continue to keep us all well in- formed on matters of local interest, par- ticularly--and may it make still further contribution in the field of the "Weekly Newspapers". It's past will not soon be forgotten--I predict for it a bright and successful future. This prediction is, I know, the hope and wish held for it and for it's new publishers and Editors--Peter and Leila Hvidsten and Bill Harrison--by all 'the present readers and indeed all of us living within it's sphere of influence. \ KES DEES (a ---- - TEES () A () A (A (A .
