Mayor JCitOs Vol lie Os Free Press In The American Way Mayor John Doan had a few kind words to say about the neW3papers Thursday on the first day of national newspaper week, Oct 1 through 8. The mayor threw an orchid to .the Daily Democrat for “its cooperation In helping to solve the problems that arise from time tc time in city government.” He pointed out that only in a country where there is freedom of the press can there truly be people who can know, step by step, what is going on in their government He declared that a free press is often one of thfe few bulwarks against totalitarian rule and despotism. Miyor Doan said the daily newspaper has come to be such a common part of the everyday life of the people that they take it for granted without always realizing what a blessing it is. He observed that through the press the public can find out what goes on In the far corners of the world as WeW as in their oWa towfl, and by presenting both sides of a question the public can make up its own mind on vital issues that affect Its we! fare. Hd observed that in dictatorships the first things that are captured by the absolute ruler are the lines of communication, radio, and the press. By this the dictator hopes to control the thoughts of the people and put into their minds only What he thinks should be there, something entirely alien to the American way Os life. “One of the reasons,” asserted the mayor, “that we should be thankful we live in this country, one that welcomes the franchise of a free press as a servant of the people and a fearless critic of government.” \ Holiday On Ice To Ooen Run Tonight •FORT WAtNS, Ind. — “Holiday on Ice” will open an eight-day stand at the Coliseum here tonight. with pre-Fort Wayne critics calling the 1954 edition of the colorful revue the best yet.
