And A Few Quotes: — (National Newepepar Week) "Freedom of expression is not merely a right—la the circumstances of today, its constructive use is a stern duty.”—Dwight D. Eisenhower. , "So long as the truth is made available to our people, we need hare no fear for the future of oar democratic system.”—■Harry *S. Truman. “Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly, are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged.”—Franklin D. Roosevelt “The freedom of the press and an able press are so ingrained as • a part of American civilisation that any enumeration of its value seems unnecessary."—Herbert Hoover. “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”—John B:3|. t Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. or prohibiting the free exereiae thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to'assemble, and to petition tb* government for a redrew of grievances."—Bill of Rights, Article'One. t disapprove of what you say, but I' will defend to the death your right to say it.”—Voltaire. “Add were it left to me so decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, 1 should not hesitate a toe l«tjer.”Thomas Jefferson. “Our liberty depends on freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost.” —Thomas Jefferson. —-0 Ducking The Issue:—Those seeking publie office should be expected to give voters the chance to base their decisions on issues of the day. Senate leaders failed to do that by the decision not to call the Senate back into session to vote on tM McCarthy censure issue before election. To many Americans Sen. McCarthy is a dedicated battler against Communism. To others he is a political opportunist. The Watkins committee report, which sharply criticises McCarthy’s behavior and recommends his censure on two counts, brings the issue to a bead and provides senators with the chance to take a stand. Were the senate called back to vote on the report voters would be able to express their

approval or disapproval of th* positions of their elected representatives. V. ' A senator who voted against censure would lose some votes jam as he wonM lose others if fee voted for it. But a moral issue is involved which is more important than Votes lost or gained. It McCarthy does not deserve to be censured lie is being done • great wrong by permitting a cloud to bang over hie head until after the election, if he does deserve censure then it is only fair to the voters in those states where senators will be elected that they have that informatkm before etection day. 1 To add to their fame the Olanta - threw in a batting exhibition. 0 0 ‘ This newspaper salutes the veterans gathered here today for the annual convention of the famous 139th Field Artillery organisation of World War 1.

It ta possible that these crossings are inadequately marked and if such is the case the highway commission should correct the deficiency immediately. However, if motorists refuse to heed the warnings ( and drive into the path of oncoming trucks and cars, little can be done by posting signa. The members of the fatal tourist party were from Missouri and the tragedy occurred near Angola on US 20. — _ William R. Barr of Bluffton was one of Northern Indiana's best known and most highly respected citixens. A leading merchant in that city for many years, he was active in all phases of civic life and as a prominent Baptist church layman. He served as a trustee of Franklin College with the late Clarence £. Bell of this city and both men stood for the highest ideajs in life. Mr. Barr had state • wide prominence when he was elected Governor of Indiana Rotary clubs In a period when the whole state was under the leadership of One executive. He visited this City often and was a frequent speaker at Rotary cltfb meetings. He was a truly ChrMlan gentleman, who strew richness of mind In bi* path through life.
