DAVID McLEAN SELLS REAL ESTATE MW” '3 The Hilltop Electric l “Specialists in Service ” LOCATED IN THE CENTRE OF RICHMOND HILL’S COLUMBIA CAPITOL RECORDS Guaranteed Service To All Makes & Types of Small Appliances Your Radio Tubes and Batteries Tested Free With the Latest WW 3 i 2 § AND g t i i § § § § § § § From The Hilltop A COLUMN 0F VIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS (By F. J. Picking) There's an old “chestnut” about a funeral Service where the minister was orating about the good quali- ties of the deceased. The late, la- mented brother, according to the par- Ison, was a model of all the virtues. Finally the widow turned to her son who was sitting beside her and said: “Johnny, run up and make positiVe it‘s your father we're burying. I sure can't recognize him by that deâ€" scription.” All of which is a way of suggest- ing that so often we wait that little bit too long before the good things are said â€" that some of the tributes which are paid might better be given in life when the subject can realize a degree of satisfaction by knowing that he‘s held in a certain amount of respect by his fellow citizens. In this week‘s “Hilltop” I propose to pay a tribute from one newspaper- man to another and to a citizen who, I think, has “played the game” with his fellow men. Why shouldn’t I? It has been my pleasure and privilege during recent months to write about citizens past and present â€" men like Albert Jones, self-respecting pioneer who believes in the doctrine that “by the sweat of thy brow thou shalt eat bread‘," â€" community and business-builders like David Hill, and many others. But in this case it's a little diff- erent. There‘s a tradition held by newspaper men of the old school that a paper is never used to boost lthe personality or outside interests of its owner. But in this case I pro- pose to bust that tradition wide open. After all, if “Sobbing George" Mc- Cullagh, nearly breaking down and weeping over the radio about the hard luck that kept George Drew from seeing his children for five weeks (Veterans of five years over- seas please note), can use the Globe and Mail to tell the world what an expert on international affairs he is then why can’t something be said in the Richmond Hill Liberal about John Eachern Smithâ€"the subject of my article this week. A Columnist’s Prerogative Fortunately in this instance, in this particular piece of work for the Liberal, I’m protected by that un- written law under which a columnist expresses his own opinion of things as he sees them, subject only to the laws of libel and the canons of good taste. Sometimes that law leads to queer contradictions. The paper’s official editorials may be flatly opposed by the views of a columnist whose writings appear on the same page. Nevertheless it’s a healthy thing for the press and for Canada man with a lot of humanity and de- cency in his system to give the rein to another man in that way. ('iean Newspapering But it's as a newspaper man that I want to pay a particular tribute to him. Let's put it this way. Find me a man or a woman who, in the weeks before the elehtion, wasn’t disgusted and fed up with our Toronto papers â€"» all three of them â€" in their treatment of election news. There are some, of course, but publishers of the Queen (‘ity’s newspapers would, I think, he astonished to learn what resentment they have created by their partisan departures from the true function of a paper â€" report- ing the news. Day after day I have compared their stories. Except for the date- line you couldn’t believe that they were reporting the same event or the same speech. They spent their time wrangling as to whether four hundred or four thousand welcomed Mr. St. Laurent at Quebec. They argued as to whether six “paid hecklers” or scores of “interested citizens" raised questions at George Drew's Belleville meeting. Day afâ€" ter day they slanted or distorted the news to their own political leanings. 'Il'hey forgot the cardinal principle that the primary function of a news- paper is to report the event as it happened and, if comment has to be made and editorial opinion expressed, that the proper place to do so is in the editorial column. They forgot, too, that Canadians in general are perefestly able to make up their own minds and that, given the facts, they could reach a reasonably sound con- clusion. I am not singling out any one paper or party organ. They were all as bad as each other and they have left in my mind and, I am pos- itive, in the minds of many citizens a disgust that the so-called “power of the press” could be used as loose- ly and partisanly as it has been em- ployed during recent weeks. They have forgotten that with that pow- er also goes a responsibility â€" the responsibility of providing their readers with the true, unbiased news. Mistake Not Made Jack Smith has not made that mistake. During the election weeks ‘his columns have been free from political colouration. Newsworthy events have been reported â€" political advertising has been carried in its proper place â€"â€" the advertising col- umns. His paper has maintained its proper function -â€" that of a rec- order of local news â€" and has not been untilized as a means of getting that such can be the case. If youlhim back to Ottawa. In plain Eng_ don’t believe' me just ask yourself [if it'would be possible in “Pravda”, leading Russian official organ. So I’m taking full advantage of my position in this particularusphere of the home town paper’s activities to say something about Jack Smith, and without his advance knowledge. When I first: started writing for him he knew quite a bit about my background and quite a lot about my attitude towards certain national questions and the active art I. had taken in regard to them. He knew, although he never said so, that I was “agin the government” on cer- tain points. Yet tonight I can say quite truth- fully that never, in any way, shape 01- form, has he attempted to direct my writing to fit in with his per- sonal desires. As a matter of fact, in five weeks out of six, he has nev- er known what was in my column un- til he saw it in print. You pretty nearly have to be a newspaper-man yourself to understand what that means. But, as a rose-grower, as a farmer, as a mechanic, you can. appreciate the fact that it takes a THE BIGGEST DANCE NEWS OF 1949 .â€"__. SPECIAL HOLIDAY DANCE FRIDAY NIGHT Glendale Pavilion South Shore Musselman’s Lake Canada’s Newest and Third Largest Ball Room Paul Firman and his orchestra Every Saturday Night Ladies 50c Gentlemen 75c W l lish, candidate for re-election though he may have been, he has continued to give his subscribers that for which they pay him, the record of this area’s activities. For that â€"â€" as one newspaperman to another â€"â€" I take ofl’ my hat to him, believing that the readers of this column will join me. All this is written the night be- fore the election. Tomorrow at this time Jack Smith may still be North York’s representative at Ottawa or the desire for a change may have swept him and others aside. What- ever happens â€" and this is going into print regardless â€" I’d like to be on record as telling readers of the Liberal that while Jack Smith’s paper can’t be stacked up against the Globe and Mail, the Telegram, the Star, for size or dollars, it has a publisher who has maintained the best principles of journalism. The community which has a pub- lisher like that in control of its local press is lucky. St. John’s Buses Stay For Summer The free bus which has been tak- ing children to Sunday School each Sunday morning at St. John's (An- glican) Church, Oak Ridges, will be continued‘ during July and August for adults who may wish to attend Church at 11.15 a.m. It has often been said that lack of transport facilities have made it almost impossible for many to at- tend church in this district. Con- sequently it is hoped that every ad- vantage will be taken of this oppor- tunity. If the number using the bus war- rants it, it is hoped to make the arâ€" rangement permanent; but this will of course depend upon the reception accorded this effort. Langdon's Bus coming from King will, if signalled, pick up church people along King side road, pro- ceeding north on Yonge to reach C. F.R.B. side .road at 10.45 a.m. It will then circle Wilcox Lake via North (Windmill) Road stopping at Jackson's Woolley‘s and Brittain's Stores; thence to Yonge St. and south to St. John’s Church at Jef- ferson. A return trip will be made after the service. It is hoped that parents will bring their children to church with them. 0 O O O 0 O O 0 O O O 9 O O O 3 3 O 2 0 .THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill.
