Newspaper Week: This Is National Newspaper Week and a high sounding slogan. "Your Newspaper Lights the Way of Freedom." has been adopted Freedom of the press, as we view it. belongs not only to the press, but to the people. It is an American heritage. The Decatur Daily Democrat Is a small unit in the vast publishIng field that daily turns out more than 54 million copies in I.Sim dally newspaper plants in the country. But as a reader, we thought you might be interested in a few facts concerning your Home Newspaper The Decatur Daily Democrat was established January 10. 1903. by the late L. G Ellingham and its present publisher, J H Heller. During the past 45 years it has enjoyed readership and advertising patronage among city and rural patrons Its < urrent circulation exceeds 4 2"". of which about 2,2001 copies are delivered by carrier salesmen each afternoon Todays circulation is approximately 100 higher than a year ago. so upward of 31,000 more papers are printed and circulated annually, Nearly four car loads of Canadian newsprint are consumed in printing the papers in a 12 month period Over the United Press Teletype, come Ou words a minute of news copy, or nearly 32,000 words in a nine hour period This ’mile' of. copy is then sifted and selected for i publication UP wires cover the' enrth. Daily, a pa< kage of news pictures : and features from the King Features Syndicate are received Two trunk-line telephone circuits serve the newspaper, over which news items are obtained and other service* transacted by the reportorial staff and business departments. Twenty-one persons are employ-! ed. (two part timet in the gathering of news, editing, writing, advertising service, subscription and mailing departmepts. in the production of the afternoon edition Equally important in completing the job. is the service rendered by 21 carrier salesmen and their helpers. in the delivery of the paper to Decatur homes.

as the economic system. For eight years of splendid sen - Ice, John Gillig. a carrier salesman received from the Inland Daiij *' Press of Chicago, and this news t paper the, "Outstanding Newspapot Boy Award for 1948." t The Decatur Dally Democrat i« t a home newspaper. In the canons of journalism, "The primary func- ( tion of newspapers Is to communicate to tbe human race what its • members do, feel and think." Therefore, we are essentially concerned with the local aspects of the news. This is the backbone of a community newspaper. To those noble definitions and ideals, we should like to add. that a newspaper must continue to perform public service. 0 0 There seems to be a slump in great men lately—why not start hunting up great women? Thera are more of them than you might think. o 0 Out in Oklahoma the political fights are among millionaire oil men. both among the Democrats and Republicans The fur is flying as the rich candidates cut loose with thick wallets, much to the de light of those on the side lines. 0 o - V The ultimate triumph o( modern science will be achieved when man has learned to control the weather His ultimate moral triumph will be a< hieved when he learns Io control himself. If your registration card needs correction, or it you are not registered and want to vote in the November election, go t« the county clerk's office and take <are of the matter The clerk's office will be open Saturday afterno«tn and from 7 to 9 in the evening On private matters a candidate . has a right to silence. On public ' matters relating to the job he seeks, he ought to declare himself 'lt Is up to the voters to decide whether the presidential candidates are or are not dodging an issue on which they ought to take a public stand. ——o o Word has come from Washington that plans are under way for the appointment of an economic as sistaut to General Clay In Germany. The Senate Finance Com mittee is back of the project to relieve Clay of the heavy responsi bllity of the financial aspects of occupation. No central accounting office has heretofore existed for keeping track of the money being spent la Germany, which is estimated at 81.Mw.noo.tMH> sf> far Public opinion agrees with the congressional committee that General Clay is doing a fine job in Germany. He would doubtless be glad to turn over the financial end to an expert at figures.
