"Good News"
d n't t ilk anymore? And the c nwrali -n we do have has to get that sjHcta<ular item in be- ( mis it has moi e " pi< v" than the run-of-the-mill talk - .’ Are we victims of lack of communication that this has developed'’ This ) < r.r n^aniag We P H wi have by being a weekly n* w-pap r. We carry no national news . , . belong to no wire services . . . have a hard time finding the details on the so calbd “spectacular" events anyway. We are interested in you, y< ur family and the club i r organization that you belong to that does its good through many different outlets. The list of an honor roll of a local school means more to our media than an orbiting astronaut or the riots going on in various parts of the country. It is true, publishing once a week can bring you news that happened last Thursday or Friday and you know all about. But, maybe your neighbor does not know of this. Maybe a former resident now living in another area will read of the accomplishments of a grandchild a friend or the neighbor they used to have back home. News is every when but getting it can be a problem. However, regardless of where it is. in the local weekly paper or the New York Times, what we want is all we will see anyway. Maybe the simple little item of a person contains that muchwanted "good news" despite the fact it isn't that "spectacular" type story we are so accustomed to day in and day out. Why don’t you look for the good news and realize that this type of thing happens everywhere and everyday. Our society isn't all bad yet. and with the help of all. will remain "good news."
