I apprccfafe the co_mp1iment con- veyed in your letter asking if I had any suggestions to make which might be helpful to publishers of the rural weekly newspapers. The suggestions which I might make, I am afraid, would hear on their face my lack of knowledge and experience along the lines to which you refer. The first thought that occurs to me, however is fhat pub- lishers of rural weekiy newspapers after the style and vigorous editor- ial policy of some outstanding rural weeklias which come to my atten- tion. It would seem to me a mistake for rural weekly newspapers to at- tempt to compete with the large metropolitan dailies in many of their features, but 0n the other hand, I am sure that in their own community they can perform a worthwhile service by making a study of the conditions and of the ways and means in which their com- munity might be advanced. If the territory is rural as you suggest, I am inclined to think that news, featuring current develop- ments in agricultural practice that is- suitable for the community, would be of real value.

Mrs. John Shaver, formerly Miss Cordelia Robinson, observed the occasion with family members around here in the American metropolis. Mrs. Robert Robson, formerly Miss Mary Robin- son, was honoured at a family din- ner in the Royal hotel here on Thurs- day evening. Both were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George Robinson and were born at Kleinburg. Five years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Robson operated the Station hotel at Woodbridge. They came to Brampton 55 years ago and purchased the Royal hotel. Then an important junction point on the Grand Trunk and Credit Valley Rail- ways, Brampton was a favourite stopping place for commercial travâ€" ellers. The fall fair and other com- munity events brought sufficient out- of-town patrons to tax the capacity of the house frequently. Farmers coming in from points more than five miles distant usually remained for dinner, supper, or both. While accommodation was limited at that time, the Royal now is regarded as one of the finest hotels in this part of the province. Fascism may prove a blessing [38.

A contro- versy developed 'between high and low church members over his selecâ€" tion as a successor of ArchlbishOp Sweatman. Some of these in atâ€" tendance favored! the translation of Bishop George Thornloe from Al- goma and the low members wanted Rev. Canon H. J. Cod‘y, recltor of St. Paul’s Church. “I believe it was ordered -by God," His Grace declared recalling the in- cident recently. He admitted though, than it was a surprise when he was chosen. He added that if 'he had: his life to live over again, he would not hesitate to enter the service of his church. ALt‘hough confined to his hOme, the veteran churchman keeps in close touch with outside affairs and re- tains office in many organizations. For 27 years 'he served as rector of St. Phillip’s Church and he has never been forgotten in his parish. And not so long ago a program of redecoration was carried out as a memorial to his work there. It was Archbishop Sweeny who was responsible for the formation f the Anglican Young People’s Society which has grown to such dimensions in the years that have f-ollowed‘ and also the Brotherhood' of St. Andrew with its international scope. “The young people of to-day are an improvement on those of past generatian-s,” he declared.
