    3. To all who like newspapers:- Here is a way researchers may assist in release of census records -- by writing Letters to the Editor of newspapers. There are at least 15 French-language newspapers, so would appreciate a letter to these papers. I enjoy reading newspapers, even the online editions, some are better than others and changed daily. Other newspapers seem to be posted for months at a time. Regardless, the editions as posted give the "feeling" of the newspaper and editors. I started as a linotype operator at Cape Breton Post when I was 18, moved on to other papers and various positions -- the printed word CAN make a difference. Letters to the Editor are often requested -- so please accept their invitation. The more people writing to newspapers the better, and soon it will be understood from coast-to-coast that we would like to have the 1911 and further censuses released. When writing to a newspaper, a "rule of thumb" is you must give your name and address and phone number. This will be so the editor(s) can make a check to see if YOU wrote the letter. However, you can stipulate "please do not print my name" and it will be recognized. Try to address YOUR letter to one of the editors listed. Bookmark the following as it is a very long URL:- <http://www.webwombat.com.au/intercom/newsprs/canada.htm> Happy writing to the editors!! Let us know if your letter is published. Muriel M.
