DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr. President John G. Heller Vice-President Chas. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer About Georgia During the fall convention of the National Editorial Association last week we spent quite a while talking with the Georgia delegation. The summer convention will be held at Atlanta, and for that reason the governor, lieutenant-governor, Miss Georgia, and a very large delegation of editors and working newspapermen attended. The newspapermen from Atlanta were very conscious of the fact that Atlanta had just passed the 1,000,000 mark in population, the first deep-south city to do so. And angry front-page stories resulted throughout the Peach state when a Chicago radio and TV announcer called it a city of half a million. The Georgia political situation is quite precarious. The present administration is committed to closing the public schools before permitting even token integration. This, of course, will be political long-range suicide. But it is short-range suicide to take the other stand. In fact, only one prominent Georgia politician, Ellis Arnall, a former governor, much more liberal than most southerners, favors such a stand. He is expected to run for governor, and will probably be supported by the mayor of Atlanta, and not many others. The Talmadge, or die-hard wing, is of course committed to oppose integration eternally. The moderates, represented by the present governor, who is a deepvoiced man of 39 (the oldest southern governor, by the w’ay) are caught in the middle, and are very sensitive. Georgia votes by a county-unit system for governor, which mimics the national electoral college, and is rigged to favor the low-population, strongly conservative rural areas, which give the Talmadge machine an edge there. The Georgians can be expected to give little support to any northern Democratic candidate, and none .to a Republican. They do not like Stevenson, despite the fact that some of their delegates to the national convention supported him. They seemed to think more highly of Kennedy than any other northern candidate, and when quizzed on whether Protestant Georgia would favor a non-Protestant candidate for president, the professional journalists present seemed to believe that the Georgians would prefer the conservative Kennedy to any other Democrat from the north, and would definitely prefer him to Nixon. Georgia’s Governor Ernest Vandiver made a very good appearance, and explained how the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt had helped survey Georgia, and bring to attention there the need of industrializing. At that time the state was largely trading raw materials for finished goods, which kept them from improving their economy. Georgia is attempting to draw new industry, but not industries established in other states, only expanding plants, he explained.

Newspapers Unique In American Life

National Newspaper Week winds up today. National weeks are nothing new, and nothing to get real excited about anymore. Yet, like any industry, we in the newspaper business are proud of our contributions to, America. Those contributions are many > and varied. They differ from one part of the country to the other, and in the use and interpretation of the individual. It is safe to say, though, that newspapers have done as much as any single agency, with the possible exception of the United States legislative bodies, to help form the America we enjoy today. The Daily Democrat is proud to be a small part of the 1,571 dailies operating in the United States. "Diose dailies have a combined circulation of 57,418,311 copies every day. Newspapers are unique in their place in American business. They are privately owned businesses or corporations, attempting to make a profit. But they could almost be classified as a public utility in their services. No other business touches so many facets of the daily life of John Q. Public as the newspaper. I No other business, not even those same national legislators, gets as much criticism from the same John Q. And no other business has as much influence in peoples lives. We are proud of the physical development of the Democrat. Almost 1% million copies are printed each year, using more than 180,000 pounds of newsprint. Our average daily circulation of 4,310 copies Steve Edwards Hurt When Struck By Car Steve Edwards, a freshman at Hanover and a 1959 graduate of Decatur high school, received facial injuries Monday when he was struck by a car while going to class on the campus. Priscilla Cook, a student at the college and daughter of a Madison banker, was driving through the campus on the other side of the street, when she turned and waved to some friends, veering across the street and striking Edwards as he stood with two of his friends. The car struck Edwards at the knee, and threw him up so that he cut his face severely on the chin. He was taken immediately to the college dispensary, and from there to the Madison hospital, where 36 stitches were taken during an hour of surgery. Considerable time will be necessary before it is known if plastic surgery will be necessary. Edwards was able to return to class Tuesday, however, and his parents, who rushed to Madison to be with him, have returned, and report that he is in good spirits although still shaken by the experience. Landscaping Lesson At Geneva Oct. 28 Mr. Norman W. Marty, landscape architect from Purdue University, will be at the special interest lesson on landscaping Wed. October 28. The meeting will be held at Geneva with the morning session in the First Methodist church basement beginning at 9:30 a m. The church is located at the corner of U.S. 27 and state road 116. During the afternoon the group will visit two homes of different types of landscaping in Geneva. A pot luck dinner will be held at noon in the church basement. The public is invited.

travels around pretty well. Thirty states plus the District of Columbia, Mexico, and several service men in Asia and Europe receive the Democrat. Another feature we are proud of is the 25 carrier-salesmen. These boys do not work for us, they are independent “merchants.” They buy the papers wholesale from us on a weekly basis, and sell them retial to as many customers as they can obtain in an area. They learn the fundamentls of business, the value of money, and how to get along with people, plus the responsibility of a “business.” The newspaper business has changed over the years, progressing along with all other businesses and industries. As in other businesses, they have been a large number of “absorptions” of the little by the big. A newspaper is a much bigger business on the average, today. Whether big or little, they still have the same service to perform for the American public—inform. There is a fear in some circles that as the big get bigger, they may fail in their basic service, i that they may get so “dollar conI scious” that" they will fail to criti- ■ cize, inform and help create. This fear does not have too much moundation. Whether big or little, the American newspaper is a part of our way of life. Business-like as they may become, their fundamental service is still what it has always been. The slogan for National Newspaper Week this year is “Your Newspaper. . .Freedom’s Textbook.” That pretty well sums it up.
