It is an established fact that the newspaper in each community re- presents quite accurately the thoughts and ideals of the people of that community. A newspaper is the one outstanding agency to which the people look for authoritative information and facts on current ev- ents, as well as reports of commercial, political, religious and social activities. In this country, a newspaper is a man’s friend all through his life. His newspaper gives a story of his birth, tells of his achieve- ments during his school years and gives a story of the biggest event in his lifeâ€"his wedding. He goes on through life, feeling confident that some day when the time comes, the editor of his newspaper Will write a suitable obituary, giving his friends a history of his life. Since the newspaper is so close to the average citizen, it follows as a natural thing that this same average citizen should depend upon the newspaper to furnish him facts and dependable information on what to eat, wear and use in his home and in his daily life. (As a proof of the fact that the newspaper advertising columns really do sway public opinion in so far as buying habits are concerned.) We have such re- volutionary changes in buying customs as the automobile, home heatâ€" ing with oil, the eating of yeast for health, the modern bungalow. “a bathroom for every 4 persons,” and number of other examples which might easily be discovered by comparing a newspaper today with one 25 years ago. A comparison of the news columns, as Well as the ad- vertisements will bear out the fact that these changes in buying cust- oms have developed in the same proportions as the changes in the adâ€" vertising appeal made through the newspapers. as far as men. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth It is 32 years since rural free delivery was introduced. Great caution was exhibited in trying out the idea. It had been advocated for a. number of years, but aroused interest slowly on the part of those destined to benefit most by it. Evidently Parliament did not grasp its possibilities, for there was reluctance to appropriate the funds to give it a trial. At first but three routes were established as an experiment. .The spread of the idea was not speedy, but when it finally was realized that it possessed virtue, demands came in great volume for the estab- lishment of additional routes. At the close of the last fiscal year there were 44,260 rural routes in operation covering- 1,205,714 miles and nearly 30,000,000 individuals were served daily by rural carriers. The initial appropriation of $10,â€" 000 had grown to an annual expenditure of $89,250,000 to keep the service functioning. Of course, the adoption of the plan resulted in a frightful slaught. er of fourth-class postmasterships and no small part of the earlier op- position to the extension of the system came from these officers. Their objective could be understood easily. Discontinuance of the postoffices meant financial loss to them. But the benefits to the dwellers on farms accruing from daily receipt of mail Without having to go after it, sometimes far, is immeasurable. The rural free deliv- ery is one of a trio of facilities removing isolation from the farm. It does not take a subordinate position to the other twoâ€"telephone and the automobile. PAGE TWO It is significant, too, that all three of these means of facilitating communication between farm and town were fairly coincident in arriv- al..All three may be credited with accelerating the march of progress. If any one excels the other in value it is the rural free delivery. Mrs. Lizzie Green of Maysville, Ky., was charged with slander by a person about whom it is alleged she gossiped. She was found guilty, fined $25 and sentenced to 25 days in jail. The antiâ€"gossip law was passed at the last session of the State Legislature. If that law was in force in some Ontario towns more than the women would be jailed. Some months ago a theatre owner in Montreal so disregarded the law with respect to the construction of theatres that when a fire broke out seventy-eight children most of whom should never have been adâ€" mitted, lost their lives. The man was a few days ago given a sentence of two years in prison, during which period he will have time and op- portunity to count the awful cost of his carelessness and greed. The ‘world has always been in need of men to do the things that could not be done. The need is more pressing today than ever. When Columbus started out to sail around the\globe men laughed at him and told him it could not be done. Columbus did not suceeed in the attempt it is true, but he proved that the thing could be done. When Samuel Morse started to transmit messages between distant points by means of a tiny wire, people said it could not be done but Morse soon proved differently. Fifty years later Marconi showed people how to talk throughthc air without even the use of wires. Edison achieved two things that most people declared to be impossible when he used elec- tric current to produce light and when he reproduced the sound of the human voice. , In an announcement issued from the Finance Department it is stated that the Minister of Finance will redeem in cash $29,068,00 of bonds which mature on Novemebr 1, as well as $8,000,000 Treasury noteS, bearing- 4 per cent, which mature on November 1. This sounds like good business. Marking the consummation of long standing plans for lopment of Northern Ont, Hon. G.
