THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7th, 1929 THE NEWSPAPER Did you ever stop to think that the average newspaper publisher and editor is hard pressed to under stand just why the average layman thinks he knows more about running a newspaper than the men and women who have devoted long years of endless days trying to learn something about it themselves by actually running oneâ€"fighting the clock all day; making decisions and preparing copy in a hurry be- cause headlines are fixed and can’t be changed? Why is it that the outsider thinks the news game is such a snap and the hardest job an editor has is to fill his paper; that he will be tickled to death to publish “a good joke” on some friend or fill his paper with thinly disguised free ad- vertising to boost this, that, or the other things, but always some other fellow’s business ? A newspaper is primarily a medium to keep the public informed on last minute events transpiring, first at home, then the province, the nation, and the world if you have room, and not the least of its missions is to aid business in its advertising columns, those who have things to sell, and the consumer, those who want to buy, to get together for their greatest mutual benefit. This job is a business all its own, so distinctly different from any other business that it may be true that “good newspaper men are born, not made,” and at the same time is so intimately interwoven with other businesses and the public at large that those outside the proâ€" fession may perhaps be excused for thinking it is their busi- ness too and wanting to run it. If we walked into a merchant’s store or a manufacturer’s plant and asked him to give us a suit of clothes or an auto- mobile “to boost the town and local business,” he would de- clare us crazy; but it too frequently happens that the merâ€" chant or the manufacturer walks into the editor’s office with a request for his valuable white space for purely personal or business reasons and thinks he ought to get it, if for no oth- er reason than a belief that the editor needs something to fill his paper. Ye gods. If the editor just had the money that goes into the preparation and postage on stuff he can’t use and wouldn’t if he could, he could buy out the biggest business enterprise in the country and afford to pay for all of his ad- vertising. Newspapers are not trying to run other people’s business they are trying to help every other fellow by letting him know what’s going on in the world and to get his share of prosperity and contentment out of what he ,reads there. There are always a few people in every village or city who complain that a certain set of men want to “run the town.” But those who kick most are usually those who do nothing to assist in the civic work of their communities. ‘ ......... o V- “‘7, Many who never attend a public meeting, nor even take the trouble to vote will stand on street corners and criticize their more active and patriotic neighbors who do try to get necessary things done. Running the town is not such a delightful pastime as some imagine and the leaders in every community are men who sacrifice their time and contribute their money to assist in promoting the Welfare of their home community. With the approval of Sir Henry Thornton, Chairman and Prcai- dent of the Canadian National Rail- ways, Gerard Ruel, Viceâ€"President of legal affairs, has issued the following circular: Established 1878~ AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING C0., LTD.

All unknown to ourselves, our bod- ies are being constantly assailed by invisible enemies-disease germs. The war is a continuous one and we are only aware of it when the tissues of our bodies are not successful in their defence, resulting in what we call ill- ness or disease. The attack of the disease germs calls forth a mobilization of our defensive ‘forces, and, as a result of‘resisting the attack of certain germs, the de- ‘fensive forces become trained in deâ€" ‘fence, sometimes becoming Sp well ‘trained as to ensure the overcoming of one or other of these enemies. When this action does occur, we say that the individual has acquired a res- ‘ istance or immunity to the disease which the particular disease germ‘ causes. This happens only in the‘ case of certain germâ€"caused diseases. As we have said, this conflict goes on all unknown to us. Unfortunately, it means that as it goes on, many be- come sick and some die. By the time we reach adult life, most of us have developed an immunity to dip- theria without having suffered from diptheria, but, at the same time, many do develop diptheria and some die from the disease. If we could acâ€" quire the protection or immunity without being constantly menaced by illness and death, it is plain that it would be most desirable that We do so. At the present time We can secure im- munity from a few diseases by means of certain well-known and accepted measures. Vaccination makes us immune against small-pox, Diptheria immunization means immunity to dip- theria. G. Savage; Treasurer, W. A. Sander- son; Secretary, T. F. McMahon; Room Through vaccination and immunizâ€" ation, we can secure immunity in a perfectly safe and satisfactory way. It means doing in a controlled way what otherwise is done for most of us, in an uncontrolled and, therefore, dangerous way, which results in sickâ€" ness for many and death for some. Why not secure immunity from those diseases from which we can be protected, in a safe and satisfactory manner?
