As events in recent years. have shown, when
a city’s newspapers have been completely _
shut down, that city settles down to a com-
mercial depression that reduces the living
standard of all of its residents. Canada’s
free press plays a big role in maintaining
the nation’s high prosperity. It keeps every-
body informed . . . not only of national. news
happenings, but of important events right
here in our community. It's the pulse: that
