Protection of freedom of the press Zs protection of the right of the peo- ‘ple to know — and especially to know arhat their government is doing, be- icause traditionally it has been govern- ‘ment which has restricted freedom of ‘the press, . : It is the duty of the press, within ithe limits of human capabilities, to 1 i i 1 ! t t Canada is budding musically and the in- creasing popularity of the “accordion is one indicaticn. Maybe it is because the Itaiian Federation of Accofdion. Manufacturers have been waging a ‘dampaigh to make accordions ‘better known in this dountry. ' Italian shipments of accordions to Canada in 1960 totalled 12,230’ units. Total exports to the whole world was: °911,347 units. When it is considered that -95*‘per cent of all the free world’s accordions are made in Italy, Canada ican really ‘be judged:as a good customer fer these musical’ ‘instruments. ; The accordion has always been an institu- ition of sorts in Canada. Once it was by far 'more*popular than the guitar, and in the early lays, many a barn rafter rattled as dancers ravorted to the. music of this melodious in- istrument. IMPOSSIBLE INVENTION keep the people informed as to what the representatives they have elected are doing.’ The people seldom attend city council or school hoard meetings. The press does, Through the press, the people can keep informed of what their govern- ment has done and is doing. The press has a responsibility to keep the people informed, and the people, too, have a responsibility — to protect the freedom of the press, which is their freedom to know.—The Monte Vista, California, Journal. The melodious accordion Accordion musie is produced by air passing through several sets of small freely vibrating reeds. Italian reeds are made from top quality Swedish steel. Modern machine manufacturing processes have been developed for many phases of accordion construction, but the reed-filing operation is so delicate that each reed is still tuned by hand by the Italian craftsmen. : From America. comes walnut for frames, keys and reed-block facings, and high quality cardboard for the bellows. Mahogany is im- ported from Africa and the Philippines, Until after the Second World War the aver- age accordion weighed about 27 pounds, Through the use of aluminum, better design and more compact shapes, Italy’s accordion makers have developed 120-bass units weighing as little as 13 pounds. \ . — Saskatoon Star-Pheonix ' Girdle makes package better than contents.
