This week, two more Fergus boys are in the honors list, Lorne Ford But when Bill Holman‘s mother brings in a letter from her boy, who is the bomb aimer in a Haliâ€" fax, we know it is one of the most interesting stories we have seen in a long time and we know our readers will eat it up, not simply because of the modest understateâ€" ments with which Bill describes how he brought home from Essen a battered fialifax plane with a wounded pilot, but because our readers have known Bill since he was a baby, and his mother and father before that. We are all 'lli.d to hear, a few days later, that Bill will soon be wearing the purple and white diagonal stripes of the Distinguished Flyinfi Cross. He didn‘t know that when he wrote the letter, but there is no doubt he earned that medal. We make little attempt to cover the news of the world as a whole, but the big events often have their echoes here at home. When a thousand bombin; planes go out over Germany, ofgicul report may say, "20 planes are missing from the night‘s operations, of which three are Canadian." : Take the "Freedom of the Press" as an example. The news gatherâ€" ing associations of several counâ€" tries are discussing the problem at present. It affects our weekly papers too, but in & smaller and more intimate way. After all, it was editors of weekly papers who won the Freedom of the Press in both Britain and Canada. And it isn‘t only national governments which would interfere with that freedom. Twice in my experience, municipal eouncils have taken printing contracts from the Newsâ€" Record because they didn‘t like pointed comment on the editorial page, and thought that in this way they could muzzle the editor. They were mistaken, of course, but there is need for constant vigilance even in small matters. les. He knows they offer a wide variety of plans and premium rates. Monopoly is a term which can never be truthfully applied to the life insurance business in Canada. The editor of a week}l{y paper lives close to his readers. He knows most of them by name. His paper prints the news as it affects the people in his own district. Many of the problems that shape history have their echoes in our own town and countryside. MREE CHOICE Every weekl{ newspaper has its wartime troubles, yet ?Ele 30 ediâ€" tors who have been meeting here in Ottawa this week are men who enjoy their work. So do most of the other 600 editors in Canada whom they represent. They wouldn‘t trade jobs with anyone. They don‘t make much money, ger- haps, but there is a solid satisfacâ€" tion about their work. ANSWER: There is, indeed. Anyone who has let it be known that he is in the marâ€" ket for insurance realizes just how keen competition is beâ€" tween the different companâ€" Editors of weekly pugerl don‘t do that, particularly in these days. They are working garder and with longer hours than at any other time in a generation or more. My own staff of bright young men is scattered, one is in a corvette in the North Atlantit; one is piloting a bomber over Germany, one is with the artillery in Belgium and ane is doiniq radar WorE on the east coast, Nowadays an entirely feminine staff helps the editor to publish the News-lgecorder, You mean there‘s real comâ€" petition? ANSWER: It‘s just not true. If you want to shop around in Canada for insuranceâ€"you can pick an American company, or a British company, or a Canadian company. You may choose a stock company, or a strictly mutual company. You may select either a parâ€" ticipating or a nonâ€"participatâ€" ing policy. This common desire is based on a popular errorâ€"the idea that ediâ€" tors of wuktlf newspapers are men of comparative leisure. The city journalist, striving to meet a dsflfi deadline, imagines that he wou! have to }mrry only one day a week if he had a little lx:apu- of his own. The other days, he could go fishâ€" ing, or talk to farmers, or loaf around in his rose garden. __Z HAT‘S all this talk about life insurance being a monopoly? a Reastia Li o d a nice weekly ?upcr. I have been told that ninety per cent of the members of the press gallery here in Ottawa hope to own a weekly paper some day. ww qsad itcP ho elilas A: Lo i id about many details of the work in a 'ooklg‘ynycnm of:idu, ll:nll* saying, "You may wonder w am so‘ much vi;mfiruud in t'"ibl( news ell, my great ambiâ€" tion mf. own one -‘u the war." He didn‘t need to tell me that. It was an old story. Every time I visit a large daily paper, some reâ€" porter or editor confides in me that some day he is going to buy Canadian Army on manoeuvers over dusty highways and past numâ€" erous little villages.

The story of this amazing airâ€" man has been pleced together bit by bit by other flyers.

No wonâ€" der so many people want to buy weekly newspapers. ,_Our readers like to know how we interpret the news. They read our editorial pages. They think we know what we are talking about. And why shouldn‘t we? iooking over those 30 editors at the Chaâ€" teau this week, I know that all of them have travelled across Canada, year after year, going to convenâ€" tions, hearin% local opinions and viewpoints.

Our readers rejoice when local boys are honored; they sympathize with the parents of those who will not return because everybody knows them. Nearly every item in our papers has a personal interest that the Toronto §tar or the Lonâ€" don Times might envy. One of the best things our newsâ€" papers do in these days is to kee the boys overseas in touch witfi home. Every weekly newspaper now has subscribers in Europe, Africa and Asia. In our own town, the Fergus council pays for several hundred copies of The Newsâ€" Record each week for local boys overseas.
