Without the aid of glaring headlines, ansationkism or its coun- terparts, statistics prove that the weekly newspaper has seven times the readership va'.ue ot a daily. It is read and kept longer than a daily. A weekly newspaper concentrates on the "home from”. " does not "generalize" its news to cover a metropolitan area. Its editorilln path projects tor the betterment ot the local community and in many cases for the well-being of the nation. And only the weekly newspaper specializes in the "personal department". But wo're also interested-in tact a little more Bo-in what's taking place right in and around our own community. That's the service of a weekly newspaper. Intimate happenings, seemingly too trivial for a daily to report, are read with interest in the weekly. Sure, we're interested in the infamous Boyd gang and what's happening in Toronto. the presidential campaign in the US., the W in Korea, and the fact that Churchill has started smoking a pipe. We hear all this over the radio and see it in the big metropolitan dailies. What most of our good readérs forget is that we print a weekly newspaper-not a metropolitan daily-with items of local interest in and around Waterloo. Every now and then one ot our readers es lightup to us and an it we intend to run a trig spread on a bank robbery. prob-' ably in Toronto, the Boy"d gang escape and itssubsequent dramatic recapture and so on and so forth. Some even ask us if we intend,': to run the stories complete with picture layouts. 1 The Boyd Gang Escépe - And The Weekly Newspaper Despite much talk and some controversy. it is very unlikely that joining with Kitchener will ever become a real issue in Waterloo. Those who want to join always have the option of moving to Kitch- ener if they think they will benefit, hut it is doubtful if they will. Those who love this city for what it is will fight with everything they have to keep it a city apart, proud of its age. its historical back- ground and the people who live here. . Admittedly Waterloo progresses slowly so far " industrial growth is concerned. However, the growth we make is solid and people employed here have better than an average chance at stay- "mg that way. Tossing statistics out the window, what about the pride ot living in Waterloo. Kitchener has now become much like any other large city. No personal qualities, no particular beauty, and congestion in many places. No suburb or small community has ever been absorbed by a large community with benetit to the smaller place. It might seem so at the time but large cities do not absorb territory tor this reason, but rather with a long range view of reducing their own costs through the collection of additional taxes. Most suburban dwellers have found that alter they and their property has been annexed by a city the cost of everything has climbed sharply. _ Waterloo on the other hand, while making considerable progress since becoming a city, has still retained its well shaded main street, its friendly people and an atmosphere of solid contentment. Reasons forwarded by those ndvocating the joining ot Waterloo with her Twin City, do not seem to haw a great deal of thought behind them. We would.}f this move were to an place. be in the same position as many other suburbs which lave been atraorbed. to their sorrow, into larger cities. Reasons such as lower costs to Waterloo citizens because of I common civic centre, telephone and hwy-o service, parks, recreation, on, do not seem to have been advanced with any real knowledge at the subject by the speaker involved. Reaction of some Waterloo citizens to questions put to than ro- garding their feelings toward Amalgamation ot this city with Kitch- ener, In; come as somewhat of I surprise. The two cities have always done things together, but tor the most part there has remained also a friendly rivalry which upland than " two very distinct communities. Kitchener is the larger city, possibly a litle more up to date, but Waterloo was older and seemed to have more civic pride. Being one ‘hundred percent for Waterloo renaming Waferloo, with everything' being done strictly tor and by Waterloo, it in hard to realize that some people would be willing to we this city 100“ its identity m Joining with Kitchener.

[It's impossible of course. At birth ‘we begin to feel that we "belong" ffrst to the home, then to our play gang, and in quick succession to a grade in school, a Sunday School class and a church, a com- munity, city, town villa? or oth- er area. You can go rig t up the line and reach the race. white, yellow, brown or black to which you belong. Truth is that we all belong to something whether we take on the responsibilities of our membership or not. , This world is made up ot groups of one kind or another. from the cradle to the grave ‘most of us belong to some thing or other for the sake of fellow- ship. Even the mailed strictly business groups are not really so strictly business, nor are the members so strictly business in their attitudes that they always make decisions on a strictly busi- ness basis, The warmth of ter. lowship is very vital, Whether or not I confrere or a customer is likeable. colors many weighty de, cislons more than one would think. And rightly so. Other things being equal, why shouldn't preference be given to someone‘ with whom we feel some sort at kinship. [ l "Bekmg to Something" But most of us like to belong to something. Being gregarious, they call it. Pretty natural too. Even if you're on only child you naturally feel that you belong to the family. Some "only" chil ren try all the harder to belong to a gang of other children. Some, of course, learn to stay apart from such social groups largely be- cause the dads and mothers often have a "better than thou" feeling. ‘Then the child becomes a semi- ‘hermit, going so far in the give- and-take ot belonging to a group of any kind, but no farther.

It would take a bit of doing to go the whole way and never come out of seclusion but I know it could be done. One person in par- ticular is fast becoming a hermit by shutting herself out of the companionship or all her friends and actyaintances. Gradually she's wit drawing into the shell of her own self and becoming a recluse, although she doesn't shut herself inside her house-yet. She shall as she grows older.
