EDITORIALS NEWSPAPER WEEK This is National Newspaper Week. Much has been said over a period of years echoing from the typewriters of big and little publications alike as to the merits of a free press. Much has been stated orally and in written form of the pitfalls open to a citizenry which finds itself shackled with out an open and free means of expression. Let’s clear the air right here Ip the event any of our readers have misgivings about a free press. It’s not something that ju*t cornea naturally, nor It is a development that suggests simplify and easiness. It is. rather, difficult to maintain, and it is something that requires work and effort 36$ days out of the year. That being the case, theoretically at least, there is doubt as to a publication being strictly free. In a sense, such an argument may carry some weight. Just so long as the human element ptays a part in the machinery of originating and developing a publication there Hee always the possibility of human weaknesses — submlssivness. temptation, power, half truths, and selfish motives. By a substantial margin, the majohty of our American press has and continues to elevate itself above these shortcomings. Again, however, it is not an automatic process. ~ ; We kinds like the way England’s Lord Brougham put it when he declared "Education makes a people easy to lead but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.’’ We’re quite certain that he intended his remark to cover more than the fields of education and newspaper! ng. Nonetheless, his remarks doj imply very strongy the need for fairness, honesty, non-discrimina. tlon. accuracy and humanitarian principles. These are age-old tenents which brought forth the best in man. They are sound, tried and proven, and represent a successful goal in any man's business and in any language. We think they apply to newspapering as well, and as such our goal Is clairvoyant. As such, our newspaper’s goal is your success In having a free press. Along with our contemporaries, we’ll be working at it 365 days out of the year. ALL ABOARD! “There goes the noon train to Chicago *“ Or should we say. “There it went"? We pause this week to sympa this? with patrons of the noon BaO train to Chicago and to offer condolences to local B and O officials, whose only thought is to offer the community consistently good train and rail transportation service. Each September, despite efforts by all concerned to keep it from happening, the stop on the beet train from Syracuse to Chicago is removed from the schedules. Passengers are then faced with this 33 1-3 per cent reduction in train service until next April. Then .as quietly as it was removed. the stop for Syracuse on this particular train will be replaced. We understand local rail, civic, and chamber of commerce officials has repeatedly tried to have this train stop here the year around. Unfortunately, it takee all of the effort of thteee civicminded eitlxens can muster to get

Gun-lore (Ed. Note: Mr. Mattie Jones has obligingly offered to write a series of articles relating to field sports, and more especially the use and care of guns. A parti cular emphasis will be placed on safety in the handling of guns. Realizing the lure a gun has for a boy, and vice versa, we thought it timely during this season and perhaps educational to present this series of articles. Removal of fear from the parents, implementation of safety for the youth will be the keynote of the articles.) (By MATTIE JONES.) Many men and nearly all boys want a gun. Why? The tradition of the centuries is embodied in the love of the American sportsman for his shot gun and rifle. Hunting and deense instinct goes all the way back to the stone age man when he hunted and defended himself with a club or a rock. This method was improved upon through the ages in various devices to hurl a missile at a traget until finally fire arms appeared on the scene. Although crude, they compare to our modern day firearms. But instinct did not change some of our senses such as smell. Observe your dog. He raises his muzzle, sniffs the air. tenses his muscles, his hair raises, and he is ready for battle in the event Intruders are In his area. This is an exemplification of the defense Instinct. This same type of defense instinct was also evident in the habits and nature of thle cave man. This instinct Is in a large sense the beginning of the development of the modern day fire arms with all its Intrigue and romance. Our history and literature is full of its romance. We find it in the movie, television, and radio. Beginning with the first settlers that landed on our shores, they brought fire arms for protection and to secure their food. Their gun was «e important as their axe. Their fire arms played an important part in securing our Independence and the founding and protection of this nation. Our forefathers placed such a high value on fire arms that they wrote in the Constitution a provision that the right of the peo. pie to own and bear arms should never be infringed. This is a privilege we should foster and protect. , Then there is the romance of the Trail Blazers, and the early pioneers in their ftght against wild animals and dangerous hardships as they pushed the frontiers ever westward.

every foot of their trek, they depended on their fire arms. Guns proceeded the plows. The exploits of these hardy men and their courage should be remembered. Their acts should inspire us with the will to defend our country and our freedom. An unarmed people is easily subdued. Cherish the gun, and keep the powder dry!
