I i FLESHERTON Well we hope every one enjoyed Christmas Day, it was rather wet, and our country roads were not the best, but what if you did have to wait while the good man shovelled his way through, or in some cases, we hear o* them getting out and walking in th^ raii\ rather than miss the turkey; it was an experience that will long be remembered.

Kelly, who ia one of the most astute advertising and merch- andising men in Ontario, in a recent address before the Midland Chamber of Commerce, urged that local busi- ness men should cultivate trading areas. He declared; "Every advertise- ment, whether of a local or outside firm, is an invitation to these people to buy there. While a large num- ber of Toronto newspapers come into a town each day. it is the local news- paper which governs purchasing lo- cally." EARLY FOR BETTER RESULTS (Alliston Herald) Are we too early in remarking that it is time we were getting some re- sults from the new Canadian Broad- casting Corporation set up by the King government? We may be im- patient, but We think it is time some changes were being made. The wave length on which CRCT broadcasts should and must be changed. The interference of a Mexican station is intolerable these nights and Sunday evening when General Motors Christ- mas program came on a voice speak- ing a foreign language made it im- possible to hear the musical program. .Another thing that is long overdue ia the prohibition of obnoxious advertis- ing, especially qn Sundays. .At the conclusion of every program to hear an announcer sound the praises of a patent medicine for the relief of hal- itosis, constipation, kidney trouble, sluggish liver. body odor, colds, colds and colds is nothing short of disgust- ing. The Canadian people pay two dollars a year for the privilege of hearing these programs and have a right to ask that they be not spoiled by a lot of advertising bordering on the objectionable. It is to be hoped the new radio setup is not going to be as useless as the National Bank of Canada. Today's simile: .As touching as Ed- ward's farewell message to his for- mer subjects. Premier Baldwin has been in a slight motor accident but the cables do not even indicate that he drop- ped his pipe during the excitment. *• ** I I t t ** * * t H t ***** * ** * * t** ** ** ** I I I I i m i MM >>' H Eastern Star DANCE Prince Edward may now decide to keep his Alberta ranch.
