William retired from the business in 1942. Robert's son Walter, became editor in 1946. Alice Telfer published the paper following her husband Robert's death in 1953, until her passing in 1956. Walter assumed the position of publisher at this time. Walter's son Don entered the business in 1967. The Journal continued to be a family run business until 1988 when Prairie Publishing Ltd. bought into the paper. The Telfers were partners in the paper until 1994 when Don Telfer sold his shares
