Newspaper Page TextHOUSTON HOME JOURNAL ! Published Weekly at Perry, Ga. JOHN L. HODGES, Publisher. RUBY C. HODGES. Editor. Official Organ of Houston County and City of Perry. Subscription, $1.50 per year. Entered at the Post Office in Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class. SEVENTY YEARS YOUNG During the observance of Na tional Newspaper Service Salute, Oct. 1-8, it is well to recall the fact that the Houston Home Journal will be seventy (70) years old in December, having been established in December, 1870 by the late John T. Water man, who was owner and editor until 1873 when he sold the pa per to the late Edwin Martin Sr. who was owner and editor until 1880. Since 1880, the Home Journal has heen the property of the Hodges family. The late John H. Hodges, father of the present owner, was editor for forty-live years, and for live years prior to 1880 was in the newspaper field here and at Irwinton, Ga. For fifty years, he was an able and vigorous writer. John L. Hodges has been con nected with the Home Journal for the past twenty-live years. Ho became proprietor and editor in 1924. In 1931, Ruby C. Hodges (Mrs. John L. Hodges) became editor and business manager of the Home Journal and Mr. Hodges remained the publisher. The policy of all these editors has been to keep the Home Jour nal what its name implies, a newspaper suitable for home reading and devoted to the in terests of its home town and connty. This newspaper is not seventy years old but seventy years young, alert and ready to serve Perry and Houston county fora good many more years if a kind Providence permits. DEMOCRACY’S FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE This newspaper prints the lo cal news. It could not exist it a dictator had the right to cen sor its columns. It gives you facts, the truth. There are thousands of community news papers like it in these United States. If the millions of readers of these newspapers didn’t know what is going on, they couldn’t form sound opinions . . . Now are you beginning to realize why The American Newspaper is De mocracy’s First Line of Defense? The United States has some thing precious in these thous ands of community newspapers. Be alert against fifth columnists or misguided who would rob YOU of this Free Press. If you don’t think this is important, re member that the first act of the dictators of Europe in moving toward war was to black out the newspapers of every community, A FREE PRESS Challenged by the power-lust of those disciples of totalitarian treachery who would traffic in lives and souls and minds of a free people—the American news paper llings its own gauntlet in the face of any and all attempts at dictatorial repression here. Through its pages—nrticulate expression of tiiat Freedom of Press guaranteed us in our Bill of Rights—is constituted th e first line of defense in America’s battle for the Maintenance of Democracy. An instrument ol freedom, using facts for ammu nition. the American newspaper day and night lights the cause of Truth. Surely a people so persistently kept awake an d aware cannot , . . will not . . . give ground to th e wolf in sheep’s-clothing forms of propa ganda which are the very tools of treason! Pennies buy this bulwark of liberty—the American newspa per. But in those countries where dictatorship mans t lie presses, the people pay for mis information with the loss of all forms of civil liberiy—including their right to think, read, or speak as they please! You need the truth to keep you free. Keep u alive to preserve your liberty, with a Free Press! CLASSIFIED ADS: Lost—One Fox Hound, female, j Walker dog, black and white spotted. Reward.
