Riser Times An Paper, prmted and lished weekly, ever) Teareday,, iraday, at Sigh River, ot neta Canada, by The High River Times. . GHA SS CLARK, Owner-Publisber MRS. H. D. McCORQUODALE, Associate Editor Subseription f o and Great Britain 2.00 a year in advance United States *+ 2.50 per year Thursday, December 9, 1937 THE COUNTRY The following is the editorial broadcast over CF Sunday evening by the High River Times. It is a trite but very true saying that the newspaper 15 the reflector of human progress. The weekly press is close-up of the countrynide dealing mainly with realities. j It has little hope and tittle scope fur the hot, thrilling news of the city dailies, but it does seek torvapture the color and vigor of everyday living; te transcribe to print the steady sure throb of life within its radius. It emphasizes the happy and normal, with the sad and sordid. Even if some sensational news does stir the district, iis ing the editor a chance to play up human frailty o+ neigh- porhood tragedy in big headlines, he is not expected to bear down with blare of publicity upon the unfortunate or erring people. He is expected at all times to temper his zest for Rews, with discretion, charity and understanding. It is through what he may at times withhold, as much as throw what he prints, that be retains the confidence of his com- and deals gently munity. In so doing he may violate the fundamentals of journstiam, but he obeys-a better law of compassion aid consideration. D spite these limitations or perhaps becwuse of them the circulation of the weekly is not confined to the limits of its own horizon. It seems to hold a place which no other publication can fill, and the impression of news contained therein has been described by the Christian Science Moni- tor as walking in an old fashioned garden, sweet with homeliness and fragrance of lavender. It is surprising to find how widespread is the circulation The High River Times, as an example, goes to various countries of Europe, to every part of the Brities Isles. It goes ip almost every State in the Union and into every province of Former residents continue their con- Fection year after year; young people thousands of miles away, never cease interest in the home-town happening: visitors to the district decide to keep in touch; non-n Gent landowners subscribe. It is a mattcr, of pride that our subscripion list includes names of men, fo public and literary life of Canada and United States. are paid-up subseribers too, and they read the paper, writ ing letters of teproof or commendation from time to thins just as others do. It is not unusual for the weekly paper to receive a order from a total stranger in some far-off point individual may come te or business. He has form presented sub: scription In the course of time that sa district as a purchaser of land his favorable opinion Solely through the picture by the district press. This is but one instance of the ways in which the community, as a whole, shares in the bene which a bright and vigorous newspaper may bring. The consciousness of sharing in the paper as a public- ity medium and asa news letter to fer-off friends, is the most valuable asset an editor can have. Thrice blesse lt; the country correspondents who provide him with the happenings from every remote part of the countryside. How heart-warming it is to have the friendly call at the office or by phone or letter with the word that grands celebrating-ber ninetieth birthday, that Brown has sold his steers at top price, that the neighbors are holding a shower for a burned-out family, that the young people of Tost Creek have formed a skating and debating club Nothin, of world skaking importance, one admits, but all pleasant little incidents which weave into the fabric of our daily six dollars is st nually for the student in Canadian y tion from society for crime.

BIG BILL FOR CRIME Whenever one hears protest on or wny facilities and services which a the standards of the home and indivi ; most silencing reply is the cost to Canada of crime.

The almost incredible sum of 160,000,000 is given as the annual cxnc- sa class, the criminals are income from the national remendous drain on society as well as the maintenance house the law breakers, it makes up a depressing total. The three years cost of hand- ling the lawless, equals the value of all farm livestock in Canada.* , It seems to be generally agreed amongst judges and all those making a study of the origin of crime, that the greatest safeguard for society is the good home. Neither extreme of wealth or poverty is so desirable for laying sound foundation, as the average middle class home, where fainily interests are closely interwoven, and where princi- ineludes policing and courts, laid in the formative years.

The money whieh is spent in crime, might have been considerably reduced if a Yo Employment program had And the money would have been expended to some good purpose, in directing the steps of youth along the ho und self-respecting path.
