CITES COMMUNITY
TO BACK LOCAL NEWSPAPER
Carl Zielke, manager of the
consin Press Association, told
audience of businessmen and civic
leaders that they have an
to support their local newspaper
every In way possible.
Kiel, a Newspaper Week address in
Wis., Zielke said publising a
weeklyjiewspaper’is ‘‘There a tough venture.
was a time when Wisconsin
had more than 600 weekly newspapers.
Today we have but 285,” he said.
“A newspaper is a business venture
and befere the newspaper can succeed
and remain in business, it must make
a profit. It, too, like every business
up and down main street, has a pay¬
roll which must be met each week,
otherwise it will fold up and go the
way of some 300 newspapers in the
last 50 years.”
Many communities in Wisconsin, he
said, are without newspapers because
the businessmen of the community
failed to appreciate that newspaper.
“You must supoprt your local news¬
paper if you want a good newspaper.
“If it is a good newspaper it de¬
serves Zielke your also support,”
stressed the obligation
of a publisher to his community in his
exercise of “the freedom to write as
he pleases” and in protecting the peo¬
ple’s right to know. He has the abli
gation of keeping the citizens of the
community informed as to govern¬
mental activity at tbe local level
in other areas. He has the further

The Editors: Concern over the

There is little we can do to stop

Strontium is chemically similar to
calcium and magnesium. In soils de¬

animal population that consumes
plants. If soils deficient

WHAT IS THE LEGION?
We of another war sometimes
asked, what is The American Legion?
The American Legion is not a club,
clubhouses. although many of its posts fraternal
It is not a
ganization, although it offers the fel¬
lowship of comrades in arms. The
Legion is a service sacred organization. It
is the trustee of a responsi¬
bility and power. The beneficiaries of
this trust own the Legion. It belongs
to those men and women who
on their bodies and minds the marks
of the price they have paid for love
of country. It belongs to the father
and mother, the widow and the or¬
phans of those for whom there can
be no homecoming. It belongs to
those sons and daughters of ours who
yet serve America in the far-flung
spaces of the world. It belongs to
every man and woman of America
who has honorably served his nation
in the armed forces. While it serves
its membership and those who were
of the armed forces, it also has a
primary concern in the future of
America. It has offerer and will con¬
tinue to offer leadership the wellbeing in those
causes that promote of
the nation. It seeks the cooperation
and help nation. of every Those citizen. It belongs
to the who own it are
the beneficiaries of its service and its
strength. Through of it we who served
America in times war continue to
serve it and each other in time of

Dr. Ward thinks not. So do we.
Last year only a third of Georgia’s
high school graduates went to col¬

still, for a mere third to enter is far
short of the mark. It means we are

THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE UNCOMMON
This has been called the “Century
of the Common Man.” And that’s fine
if it means that every common man
has an equal opportunity to be un ¬
common.
Dean Alfange said: “I do not choose
to be a common man. It is my right,
to lie uncommon—if 1 cun. I seek op¬
portunity—not security. 1 do not wish
to be a kept citizen, humbled and
dulled by having the state look after
me. I want to take the calculated
risk: to dream and to build, to fail
and to succeed.
“I refuse to barter incentive for a
dole. I prefer the challenges of life
to the guaranteed existence; the thrill
of fulfillment to the stale calm of
Utopia. I will not trade freedom for
beneficence nor my dignity for a hand¬
out. I will never cower before any
master nor bend to any threat. It is
unafraid; my heritage to stand erect, proud and
to think and act for myself,
enjoy the benefit of my creations and
to face the world boldly and say,
‘This I have done.’ All this is what
it means to be an American.”
ALWAYS IN FOCUS
William I. Nichols, editor and pub¬
lisher of This Week, a magazine of
huge circulation, has something to
says about newspapers. Here are his
words: “Newspapers are the most
powerful day force in public opinion to¬
because:
“1. The newspaper is the only me¬
dium which talks directly to each
reader in terms of himself, his family
and his community.
“2. The newspaper is the only me¬
dium which remakes its product

touch both with people
and changing times, and this is what
gives newspapers their tremendous
influence and efficiency.”
The newspaper is one of the oldest
forms of communication. New com¬
petitors have come into being and
found their place. But the newspaper’s
pre-eminence as an influence remains.
