Dear Editor: It seems so very un- usual to be writing a letter with "Dear Edi- tor" at the top, and not receiving it. After so long opening up letters beginning that way, writing one takes some getting used to. _ It's never easy for a new Editor to come in from outside a com- munity and settle into the chair at the local paper, so let me reas- sure you: You have moved into an area which contains the nic- est, friendliest and warmest people you will ever come across. I have no doubt that it will not be long before you come to consider this stretch of the Northshore as home. Reading over your first two papers, I can see that you have al- ready discovered that the area is overflowing with interesting people and interesting stories. And that not only makes an Editor's job easier, it also makes it a plea- sure, and inevitably. pro- duces an interesting newspaper for. the read- ers. A former editor of this paper said when she retired, that it is good for a newspaper to have a change in Editors every. couple of years, and she- was absolutely Good right. A newspaper, from the New York Times to the smallest community weekly is a reflection of it's editor. The emphasis on the kind of stories it carries and the questions it speaks out on, is a balance struck by the Editor. So it's a very healthy thing to have that balance change every so often. I have no doubts that the News will be a re- flection of your best points and that your previous experience with the Nipigon Gazet- te will tell, and make for some very interesting reading indeed. It has not been well over a year since the News has had a full- time Editor in the office. Your availability to the community during the day will undoubtedly lead to a tremendous in- crease in the quantity of coverage that can be given, and that will be good for the paper, and it will be good for the public. _ One of the things I noticed as a part-time Editor was that the work always managed to turn itself into a full time schedule. If the news- paper business has any > disadvantage at all, it has to. be that the Edi- tor is chained to a sched- ule in which the latter friends and reavement -THANK-YOU We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our' neighbours, relatives 'who were so thoughtful during our recent sad be- in the death of a dear husband and father. Your kindness will always be remembered. Gloria & Kevin Mullins Sincerely, course will be held Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:15 - 11:15 a.m. in the Multi- purpose Room of. the Recreation Centre. Course will consist of Luck! half of the week is taken up with dummying and laying out next week's paper. I just don't know what I am going to do with my Friday nights and Saturdays now that they will not be taken up with those two exer- warm-ups, calisthenics, aerobics, and cool down. Get in shape for your winter activities and sign up today. Call the Recreation Office for in- formation on fees etc. cises in drudgery, but I think I will be able to come up with some- thing. I wish you the very best in what I know you will make the best paper in the North. Harry Huskins Origin of Schreiber requested Dear Editor: In your. position, you 'probably have the ori- gin of the name of the town of Schreiber, so perhaps you would be kind enough to let me _ know. We have friends who went from here on a vacation to northern Michigan and stopped off in Schreiber on their way back and sent us a copy of your paper. Now they. want to know if our family was the origin. of the name. I do not know, but I was born in Parry 'Sound, Ontario, just af- ter the turn of the century, and was told that they believed your town was named for my relative Sir Colling- wood George Schreiber; but he was Minister of mines, railways, ca- nals, etc. and lived in - Ottawa at a date that I think was too late for the town to be his name sake. But there is a possibility that it could be his namesake be- cause his life span was from 1831 to 1919. We found your pa- per very interesting and we want our children and grandchildren -- tc read it, especially one who will visit our home next. week: from West- port, Connecticut, anc an educator with ar interest in this field. Thank you. Yours very truly, B.C.C. Schreibe: 2423 El Rancho Cir..
