"Your Newspaper Serves" is h
theme of this years National
t
Newspaper week October 1 thru 8. I
We feel that people !n general[
over the United States realize[
the extent that the newspapers[
help retain our democratic way I
of life. Some get aggravated at[
the way it is done sometimes "but .
again, newspapers vary in per-
sonality and like humans they
are not free from mistakes and
a wrong editorial policy
i or decision.
Think how dull and ignorant
of local, state and world know-
ledge we would be without the
dtsseminatron of news in our
weekly and daily newspapers
We are speaking as one who re-
lys on newspapers for news too.
Even though editors may Imblish
their own paper, They must rely
on other papers for new the
same' as anyone.
o Some feel that the recent dis-
turbance in Little Rock was given
too much "play" in our news-
papers
We can't feel that too much
attention can be given this tYPe

group at OSU to have the annual
intercollegiate rodeo in Perkir

A passing motorist called Har-

Perkins when they came through,
After repeated attempts to get
them stoped, Harral reported
that he finally gave up and con
centrated on giving the approach
ing cars some warning of the
careening car 1@ useing his red
light. He was in radio contact
with highway and county offi-
cers, but the pursued car turned
off on a country road before
getting to the road block on the

various organizations who seek
solicitations for support, a chance
to conduct their drive through
the Perkins organizath)n. It en-
ables contributors to give only
once to several organizationJ.
Last year the list included the
Heart Fund, Boy Scouts, Red

also had a story to tell and in

The press of America covered

sonally, we think we can see
both sides and wth what has
been relrted at Little Rock we
have seen things we don't like
and in an indirect way, such as
at election time or through our
representativeS in our govern-
ment, we are going to try to get
those things changed just like
you and I both have the right

Of what possible way can we
have a democratic way of life in
these United States if we are
not aware of the obstructions of
this principle that arise every
day. Without, our newspapers
there would be only a few to have
the news, and a few people with
all the news Is a dictatorship.
There are certain groups in
every town, county, State and
Nation that would like to keep
their activities from the publlc,
many because they can not act
their own decisions when more
than their group knows 'hat is
going on When the public knows
tlen it becomes their problem
and democracy and an inevitable
solution results.
Although your newspaper ser-
ves yot in man ways, the fact
that it lets you practice your
rights by knowing what to act
upone make the news reporting
- factor very impor/ant in our way
of life.
