GOING HIGH-BROW (Port Hope Evening‘ Guide) The gentlemen of the appealing thumlb, familiar of the highway side- lines, are apparently developing; a slight change in technique, an in- gratiating change at that. Their 01d flourish of gesture with a note of the contemtory in a great deal of it, is evidently no longer all-sufficient, and presumably it no longer regis~ terrs as frequently as of yesterday with motorists of the kindly heart. That impression was suggested by two youths standing at the roadside at Port Hope the other day, one of .them holding up a large square cardr-iboard on which was written the petition, “Please.” SMOKERS SHOULD BE CAREFUL (Picton Gazette) With cigarette butts so carelessly tossed! from motor cars, it is sur- prising there are not more grass fires than there are. These days RUNNING A NEWSPAPER (‘Leamington Post and‘ News) Running a newspaper is just like running a hotel only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the talble which does not suit him, he does not raise hadles with the landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side and wad-es into the many dishes that suit him. It is different with some newspaper readlers. They find an article occa- sionally that does not suit them ex- actly, and without stepping to think it may please hundreds of other readers, make a grandstand‘ play and tell the edFtor how the paper should [be run and what should’ \be put into it, ’but thank gomhneSS these people are becoming fewer every year. If some individuals we know were put in charge for just one week we can imagine what it would: look like. A good policy to follow is this: “Every man for his own business.” (Midland Free Press) Did‘ you know that. . .girls from 15 to 17 are the best buyers of eyelash conditioners?...that women in the 52-54 age group :buy the most hand‘ cream, vanishing and foundation c1eam?...that more women use soap, nail polish, cold cream, lip~ stick and face powder than tooth- fbrushes?...that three out of four women use perfume, but less than one out of two uses comlbs, and only two out of five have powder- puffs? ...all this according to the nation-. wide cosmetic reseavch reports just issued. (Bowmanville Statesman) Life on the farm is no longer one of isolation and] deprivation. Modi- ern facilities such as hydro, water pressure systems, paved- highways and motor cars have IbrOught the most distant rural homesteadls into close touch with everyday life. Then there are the telephone, the radio, the lending libraries and rural mail routes which have added to the com- fort and convenience of life on the farm, and‘ there is little in the way- of city advantages that cannot be‘ found in rural districts. A few years ago a trip from the farm to the city ’or town was an event, a journey that took hours, sometimes days. To- day our country cousins can hop into the family car and reach the ibright lights of their favorite town or city in an hour or so. Farming well done is a profession ‘in itself and young men trained in our agricultural colleges are infinâ€" litely more independent than hun- dreds of town-bred boys who cannot find a niche in which to express themselves. Farm folk are no long- er the unsophisticated “rubes” who used to provide material for the comic strips. They are educated, up-toâ€"date. well informed and cap- able. Rural life needs the best. type lfor its development and the clever lboys and girls no longer have to E forsake homegroundis in order to find i congenial companionship and employ- }ment in more crowded centres. CITY FOLK NOW ENVIOUS OF THEIR COUNTRY COUSINS Distant pastures always look greenest but when all is 'said‘, and done, the farm community can offer much that cannot be found in city life. In fact, many who have spent admost their entire lives in urban settings are now turning to the land in order to escape a few of life's complexities amid suI'rOundings that are more natural, more simple, and are more infinitely \VHAT WOMEN BUY! Other Editors’ Opinions more \VOI while in ufiban o the land r of life's iings that mple, and (Trenton Courier-Advocate) The Ontario Department of Fish- eries boasts that it has been success- ful in rearing maskinonge in its hatchery at Peterboro. One thou- sand three to five inch ’lunge will be liberated in Eastern Ontario. (Trenton Courierâ€"Advocate) “The Duke of Paduka, on your radio, gets off some pretty smart stuff. He says he met an English- man who made two crossings of the Atlantic without taking a bathfland‘ he called him a dirty dourbleâ€"crosser. JUST AS QI’EER LOOKING (Fergus News-Record) It is worth while to take an hour Occasionally and watch the crowd‘s walking on the strets of a city. It brings the reassuring feeling that many h‘undWeds of other people are just as queer looking as ourselves. (Smiths Falls Recordâ€"News) Politics is still a fascinating game for Mr. Average Man. It must be when an odd 1,000 Smriths Falls and’ district people passed' up opportuni- ties to be cool and comfortalble and instead ‘braved intense heat to hear Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion deliver an address here recently. CANOES DANGEROUS (Stirling Newsâ€"Argus) “Shifting in canoe costs two- lives," a heading which appeared in a Mon- day newspaper in connection with a drowning accident in the northern part of the province, brings to- mind- the danger that is ever present when poor swimmers venture out on deep waters in a canoe. No one who- is not an expert swimmer has any right to enter a canoe. RAISING 'LUNGE SUCCESSFUL INFORMATION (New York Post) From John Gunther's “Inside Asia" you learn that Japanese Prime Minister‘s salary is $2,592 a year; a belch following a meal in Nippon is a compliment; an average of 29,000 persons are picked off the streets of Shanghai each year, dead of star- vation, yet in the same city one may dine at a restaurant where a dinner costs $600; that American cigarettes sell at a lower price in Indua than in the United: States. RECIPE FOR SMART BUYING (Picton Gazette) Take a good look at the family cuplboard to see what you need. Mix with substantial amount of reading of 'the grocery advertisements in your local newspaper. Add a piece of paper and a lead pencil, so you can make up your shopping list. Stir this up with your family budget until it jells. Add a lot of common sense to this mixture and‘ go to your local grocery store where you get quality merchandise at reasonable prices. It pays to read the ads in The Picton Gazette. WITHOLDING NEWS (Carleton Place Canadian) The Quinte Sun, published at Trenton, reports that a property sale in that town has been made by the town. The authorities asked the editor not to give the details which he had in his possession, and yet the full information was being freely discussed by the man on the street. The press is frequently asked! to withold publication of certain news and this promise once given, is never violated. A newspaper’s very exist- ence depends, on the publication of “news” as early after the event takes place as possible.
