alertness of the proprietors of Flower Shop saved the town from considerable loss of money and as it turned out later from a far greater danger the pos sible infiltration of narcotics users The people at are to be highly praised for their quick action and for their cooperation with both police and press in giving the matter the public atten tion it deserves Police have been investigating bogus cheques passed by this man and others for some months now and it is more than time the people of ket were made aware of the problem Phony cheques are bad enough when they carry no further implications with them They are bad for the businesses involved and they are even worse for pub lic relations But when they carry an additional threat such as narcotics then they become of far more than local interest The current vice probe in Toronto commendable as it is may well have the effect of driving these offen ders outside the city limits Newmarket is as good a place as any for them to settle So far social problems here have been limited to teen age vandalism which though serious cannot as yet be classed as criminal Dope addiction is a worldwide menace It cannot be dealt with here by council or committee meetings by letters of protest or by the erection of signs It demands a firm and sensible at titude on the part of all Newmarket people It demands caution and clearthinking and willingness to cooperate completely with public authorities You are protecting far more than your own business interests here You are protecting your families and your town and you are contributing to the protection of your country Yours is a responsibility not to ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS That is a lot of money but that is what it will cost the Canadian taxpayer for that colossal farce the We pointed that out editorially some months ago when we urged the federal government to get out of the amusement business Well it isnt funny any more CMC operating costs in the near future may go as high as Max Henderson comptroller indicated to the Commons Broadcasting Committee Commercial revenues could be counted on to vide only about onethird of this amount he said The remainder if lhe present scale of service is to be main tained would have to come from the Federal treasury operating costs in likely will run to about Mr Henderson and J P controller of operations pointed out that the ultimate costs of TV in Canada should be on the basis of per home plus an additional onethird which might be obtained from commercial revenues The average per home has not yet been reached the comptroller said and up to mid1959 it was about Mr Henderson warned there were only two ways in which the CBC could handle an increased de ficit The first would be to ask Parliament to vole more funds for the corporation The second would be to cut operating costs across the board There a third course however Sell the CMC and the government will receive millions in faxes and the public can be entertained at the expense and or profit to the private investor YOUR WEEKLY NEWSPAPER The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association marked its when it met in last week The Canadian Weekly Editor now in its year of publication under the hit management of Way points up some of the significant events in the life of Canadas weekly press over that period It was 100 years ago that the weekly newspapers of the province of Ontario that was then Canada joined with the dailies in forming the Canadian Press Association Inc The memhers purpose was to give the press a distinct identity regardless of the small dif ference in their frequency of publication Canadian Press thrived bo their purpose was achieved But with the growth of Canada the different aims and require ments within the group became more pronounced The inevitable break came in November 1919 when the weekly section announced it was going to strike out on its own A separate organization was formed under the name of CWNA with A E of the Picttm Ont Gazette as its first president Justification for this move has since proved itself many times over The distinction between the services offered by weeklies and dailies is wide and clear In many cases a weekly paper exists under the very shadow of a large daily without suffering injury to either its advertising or its extend our congratulations to those alert and ever youthful editors and publishers of the weekly news paper who banded together as an association have im proved their service to their readers by printing better papers by dealing editorially with both national and local affairs and by giving the advertiser better returns on his investment To Les Way an old friend since he launched his Weekly Editor upon the uncharted seas of advertising and publicity we send warm greet ings coupled with good wishes for continued progress in the field he serves so well the weekly newspaper WELCOME COUNTY SECURITY STAFF York County Security is welcome news indeed e more step towards the That establishment of Bureau is in its final stages It is welcome because it is unification of county security come because it gives deserved recognition to a mem ber of the Newmarket police force whose work in this field for the past three a has been highly commend able Sergeant Robert performed a valuable service for the county in when he set up a finger printing and identification bureau in the Newmarket po lice station He later attended courses in Ottawa with great success The fact that the department was eliminated this year because of its burden on the police force is not under discussion here We feci how ever that county councils police committee has done well in selecting for this new post His experience in fingerprinting photography and in the transportation of prisoners should make htm a credit to the new organization At the same time we offer congratulations to the three other appointees William Joseph Mad den and Gail Palmer The security bureau will perform an important function in the county and we wish its officers well in carrying out their duties NORTH OF THE BORDER That was the caption on an article featuring Can ada in a recent issue of Newsweek While Canadians are generally reluctnnt to invest in their own country and its thriving industries the Americans have a dif ferent view of the future of Canada The stock market in
