Newspapers And Freedom

This is national newspaper week and all over, the country editors are busy writing editorials and news items praising the new spaper and the part we play in a free America. The October theme of the National Public Information Committee is, “Newspapers and Readers are Partners in Freedom.” We think it is a good one. In this country we have the freedom of the press guaranteed in the ammendments to the constitution. Every American should be thankful for this freedom. We are using an editorial below that we choose earlier this morning. We think it is a good one, however, how many newspapers in foreign countries could print such an item? Here in America we do it without fear because we know we

What Is An Editorial?

What is an editorial ? A news item tells the facts while an editorial tells an opinion. Editorials are to let people know what the newspaper itself thinks about the current affairs. An editorial is where we air our opinions. It is the duty of the newspaper to instruct the reader and to help him make a decision on how he feels about a certain

Status We happened upon an old friend on the street yesterday and noticed right away that he was looking uncommonly smug, as if he were mightily pleased with himself. No sooner had we greeted him than the reason began to emeige. “Go ahead,” he said; “ask me about gallbladder operations.

You remember three yars ago when I hfid my operation. Now President Johnson and I are fellow’ gallstone victims, and all my friends who used to yawn when I tried to talk about my operation can’t get enough details.” ” “Ah,” we said, light dawning, ‘You and the President “Right,” he shot back, clapping us smartly on the back. “We gallstone victims have status now. It used to be heart, patients and stroke victims and ileitis sufferers who got all the attention at cocktail parties. Now it’s our turn, and about “All right,” we said. “Tell me about your operation.

FARM NOTESIGiSrz

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The annual achievement program for the county home demonstration dub will be held October 20 at the Warsaw high school auditorium at 7:30 pm, Mrs. Marilyn Kinca.de is president of the county organization. The home demonstration program one of the largest adult educational programs, consists of 74 clubs and over 1500 women in Kosciusko county. • • • It is popular to complain about food prices but at each year a smaller percentage of people’s income go for food. Last year about 19.5 percent of all personal consumption expenditures went for food alone. The figures, published by the government, lump food and beverages together and this figure has reduced by five and a half percent in the last six years, nearly one percent per year. In 1968 we spent 26.2 percent as all personal expenditures tor these items, in 1964 it was 22.7 percent. No other major items of expenditure show any sigmficent reduction. • • • Each year we set a new record for soybean production and this year looks like another one. The export business in soybeans has been the factor enabling these increases with nearly a third of last year’s crop being exported and Japan -is the biggest Customer. We sold about 48 million bushels of the 1964 crop to Japan and it looks like this year < will be even higher.

industries. Soybeans are the principle protein source for the big livestock industry of the U. S. When the soybean crop was first grown the soybean meal was a by-product with the oil being l most valuable. The situation has been changed now and both products are important but the biggest selling job and the most speculative is in the oil commodity. . Even with the big soybean crop ot * 1964, we ran into a period of low supply just before harvest began. ■ Soybean meal went from about S7O a ton to $lO2 in a few days time. Poultry and livestock men throughout the county were hit with high feed prices arid elevator men were trying their best to hold down the price. As the 1965 crop began to roll in, the prices started to return to normal. , „ We bear so much about surpluses that we some tiroes over-look the fact that our supply and demand ratios are fairly dose. Food supplies cannot be scheduled for so many units per week. Harvest time comes just once a year. $l5O DAMAGE DONE TO TRUCK IN FREAK ACCIDENT Deputy sheriff Roger Feitows reported damage in the anaunt of $l5O to a truck involved in a froak accident on road 13 near the Flowing Well last Tuesday evening.

have the right. The nationwide theme for national newspaper week is, “Newspapers Make a Big Difference in People’s Lives.” This too can be tied to the October NPIC theme. Have you ever seen the drawing of the American family reading the paper and the family behind the Iron Curtain doing nothing' except existing in their' conditions? Newspapers keep the American people informed on what the government is doing while the only news received on the other side of the world is what the government controlled papers are allowed to print. Yes, American newspapers help to keep America free, but, only when the people takes the time to read them. Then, truly we are partners in freedom.

issue. If the editor can convince the reader along the lines of what the editor conceived- as right and just, that is fine. On the other hand, if the editor causes his reader to reason for himself, to come to his own conclusion, to discover the path he should take, that is better, even if reader does not agree with the editor. InM a democracy, each person ought to decide® for himself what is best.

Answer United Fund Questions Below are some answers to questions asked about the United Fund: and their answers: Q. Each year in October, a lot of commotion is raised about United Fund, am I correct in assuming that this is just one more appeal? A. No. It is many separate appleals united in one single campaign. United Fund combines the fund raising efforts of a majority of the community’s health, recreation and service agencies. Q. Why do some organizations continue to conduct their own drives, instead of joining the United Fund -for a true one drive - one gift community? A. United Fund has an “open door” policy toward outside agencies. However, some agencies will not apply for admission for various reasons, such as their national affiliate restriction, etc. National United Fund personnel are constantly attempting to persuade all major organizations to consider the advantages of one drive - one gift.
