Pity the poor postman on
Route 1, Butler, who was blamed
last week for some 15people not
receiving their paper. Really
it wasn’t his fault. Somehow
in tying out about 30 different
bundles of the News, the end of
the list on Route 1 were stack
ed in the wrong pile and took
an incorrect journey.
At any time you do not re
ceive a paper on the usual day
or you cannot find something
it that you think should be in it,
please call the editor. This
staff is only human and we do
make errors by the thousands.
Sometimes there are good
reasons for things not getting
in the paper but at other times,
it may be overlooked so re
mind us please.
Kiwanis Meet
Andy Parks and Sam Worth
ington of the State Fire Mar
shall’s Office gave a Fire
Safety Demonstration, “Opera
tion Stop Fire” at the Kiwanis
meeting on Friday. Fires need
fuel, heat and air to burn and
also they must vaporize, there
fore it is simpler and cheaper
to stop fires before they get a
start than it is to put them out.
One of the most dangerous
things today is overloading of
circuits. In the demonstration,
a 15 amp. fuse was replaced
with a 30 amp. because the 15
amp. kept blowing. Because
this safety warning was ignored,
a fire was started in the attic
of the little house with an
overloaded circuit.
Another dangerous act is to
throw a pressure can on a gar
bage dump and then burn it.
It could explode and spray glass
or other dangerous particles
over a large area. Don’t burn
a pressure can, bury it.
Guests for the day were Mrs.
Virginia Boger, Key Clubbers,
Anthony Smith and Henry Sams.
An important announcement
made by S. J. Tankersley was
that the Flint EMC was pre
senting 'the city of Reynolds
a check for $250 on the street
sweeper and another $250 on the
garbage truck because no addi
tional cleaning was necessary
for the annual meeting this
year.
The program next week will
feature Mr. L. D. Cannon from
the Warm Springs Foundation
brought to the meeting by Mr.
and Mrs. George A. Goddard.

National Newspaper Week Observed
Newspapers make a BIG difference in people’s lives.
Newspapers place a record of the outstanding news of the
day in the hands of their readers. In this way newspapers
have a definite bearing on the public's opinions on moral and
civic issues of the day.
I his power of the press and its product brings with it tre
mendous responsibility to present fundamental truths through
factual reporting and prudent editorial comment.
Georgia s citizens are better educated today because of our
state’s 235 newspapers.
Georgia s cities are better cities because her newspapers
help create civic pride and an image of loyalty and progress
basic to growth.
Georgia s government is better understood because her news—
papers are accepting their responsibility to stimulate the interest
and arotise the concern of the average citizen in those issues
whk It are broader than his own little business and family circle.
Georgia s economy is more secure because her newspapers
spread their advertisers’ wares before Mr. Public’s eyes
the better for him to by.
Ihrough the years Georgia's newspapers have altered the
Georgia way of life by influencing the food her citizens eat,
the elothers we wear, the houses in which we live and more
important the beliefs we hold, the opinions we express-
yes, even the dreams we dream.
In our world that moves swifter than sound no other media
can compete with the newspsper in the depth of news coverage
presented. The written word is PERMANENT - it is avail
able for study and close scrutiny at any time.
The challenge of today for newspapers is that the power of
the press must be used responsibly, justly and intelligently so
that this power can remain the cornerstone of demorcrcy.
