SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) ...--..-.---------------$2.50 . . The America Press t ae In all the criticism leveled of late against the press, one thing is overlooked: However sharp, however bitter, however inimical editorial comment may become, news coverage in 95 per cent of the American press is consistently tolerant, unbiased and fair. Week after week, month after month, day in and day out, news stories giving the views of opposing groups are run side by side in equal prominence on the front yage; week after week, month after month, day in and out, texts of important statements ond addresses are run side by side in equal prominence in the main news section of the paper. Anything which is.news receives a hearing; anything worthy of comment gets it. In nine cases out of ten when bias exists it is confined to the editorial page. It does not appear in the writing of the news, nor does it hamper the distribution of the news, nor does it affect the presentation of the news. Further, with regard to editorial bias when it does exist. the right of a newspaper to express an opinio nthrough its editorial columns is as fundamental as the right of an individual to stand on the street corner and express an opinion by word of mouth. The two rights, in fact, are exactly parallel, and in each case the remedy for their abuse is the same. If you don’t like what the individual says, you don’t have to listen; if you don’t like what the newspaper says, you don’t have to read it. This is your right as the person addressed your right as the free citizen of a free nation. It is the only democratic method of disagreement. Of course it is not the only method. Of course there is an alternative. You can find it if you follow to its logical conclusion the latest outburst of indignation against the press. Suppose for the sake of argument that you are hot content with the negative method of protest. Suppose you decide that you not only have a right to stop listening yourself, but a right to make others stop listening, too. Suppose you decide that you not only have a right to transfer your allegiance to another individual or newspaper, but the right to make others change allegiance too. Suppose you decide you not only have these rights, but also the right to deny the expression of any other opinion than your own by any other agency than your own. Suppose all these, and see the nature of the Frankenstein monster you have created. If you take from the individual his right to speak as he pleases by word of mouth, you have established the principle . that all individuals—yourself among them—can be deprived of their right to speak as they please by word of mouth. If you take from one newspaper its right to speak as it pleases through its editorial columns, you have established the principle that all newspapers—your favorite among them. —can be deprived of their right to speak as they please through their editorial columns. Doing this, you have not only destroyed democracy—you have destroyed yourself. Assuming that none of these critics of the press wishes . to destroy either democracy or himself, it is therefore a little . hard to know just exactly what the object is. If it isn’t a com-' adage, ‘Doing business without advertising is like winking at ed from young men, many of whom. pletely one-sided press, its news columns devoted to open ¢xla girl in the dark.’ And let them advertise—at home—for re. have received no prior military LTE TIT: clusive propaganda, its editorial columns devoted to one ex-. clusive policy, what is it? Americans get the fairest hearing. any people have ever had, as it is; they enjoy the best news: coverage in the world, right now. What else is there short of . . . the alternative we have described, the alternative we assume they do not desire? Perhaps the critics of the press are sincere from their point of view. If so, they are sadly mistaken. In their blind desire to answer opposition with suppression there exist the seeds of the most vicious, the most unprincipled, and the most direct attack which could possibly be launched against the liberties of a free people.—Allen Drury, editor, in the Tulare (Calif. ) e. , Gall to the Church Churches have been asked by the Rev. Paul D. Moody, director of the general committee of army and navy chap_lains, to extend their hospitality to soldiers and sailors and help establish a “safeguard against evil influences.” “The church has the greatest opportunity in this crisis,” Moody said in a broadcast to the armed forces. ‘For in the neighborhood of the camps there is much to do. Churches can unite in furnishing centers to which men on leave can come the sort of acquaintances which are a safeguard against evil influences, the forces of unrighteousness, which from time imMemorial prey upon soldiers and sailors are not asleep or in-' different their evil opportunities.” Col. Wm. R. Arnold, chief of army chaplains, said it was “reassuring to note that all of the religious groups of the nation are represented in our defensive forces, and that men) 7) under arms, shall have every facility to practice their religion. The Rev. Robert E. McCormack, speaking for those of “s 107 Min streee Nevada County Photo Center THE NEW HOUSEKEEPER THINKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One) make the lesson clear. We cordially agree with Police Judge Miles Coughlin that the police force should not endeavor to ‘pay its way’’ by dragging into court enough traffic violators to offset the sum of their salaries in the city’s budget. On the otherhand we do believe that the streets should bemade safe and convenient for everybody, and persons who wilfully or carelessly endanger others, or submit them to unnecessary delays and inconvenience, should be taught a lesson in safety and courtesy. If the fees for this schooling should happen to offset the police salary roll it need not greatly concern the tax payers. : i EXTEND TRAINING TO JR. COLLEGES the Catholic religion, made’a plea for ‘‘charity, fraternity and unity” among the men of the armed forces; and Dr. David De Sola Pool, speaking for the Jewish faith, urged that the men be guided by the ‘standards of peace and not by the demoralizing standards of war.” Good thoughts for churches, soldiers and everyone during this crisis in our national life. The millions of young men who are being called into the service, taken from home life—for many of them, the first time—need the helping hand of a steadying influence other than that of mere army discipline. It is all too easy for men at war, or training for war, to become hard. Men have to be hard to fight—and kill—other men. There is a big job to be done in addition to training men to kill; that job is to train them also in the philosophy of Christ. He Advertised At Home i To the well recognized ‘truth that it pays to advertise, ' should be added to the important collary, ‘It pays to advertise at home!’ _ Your own community's newspaper can frequently bring home the bacon even where all others have failed. Here, for example, is the case of the head of a_ plastic aircraft production plant at Van Nuys, California, who needed thirty skilled engineers in his factory. He advertised his wants in national journals. He even hung a big banner across the front of his plant. But it was not until his needs were made known in Van Nuys papers one day last week that things really began to happen. Early the next morning a line of applicants stood outside the factory door. By noontime, thirty qualified engineers had been selected, placed on the payroll, and the problem solved. — Wherefore, with good evidence at hand, we say “It pays to advertise at home, in your own newspaper.” Certainly there is no need to remind readers that whatever their wants, whatever the bargains they have to offer, advertising is an indispensable aid.

L. Jordan, of the advertising firm of N. W. Ayer & Son, that 1941 will be one of the biggest advertising years in newspaper history. But the cheerful import to all-businesses and all families is ad man Jordan's forecast that ‘“‘most families in all markets will be receiving full-time incomes which will make full and intensive coverage of the market advantageous.” That means that increased advertising and consumption of goods will not be specialized and limited. ‘Full-time incomes’ will take families by millions off the plain food, shelter and clothing lists and place them on the lists of better and happier living. “Intensive coverage of the market’’ is the ad man’s wise foreknowledge that the whole family will go to market through 1941—o the toy store, the food store, the beauty shop,. the electric appliance store and book store and auto salesroom. _ That’s good news for newspapers—but ‘equally good news for store, factory, and home.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.—Assemblyman Allen G. Thurman of Colfax, representing Nevada County in the lower house of the state legislature introduced his first bill of the session last week. The bill will permit California junior colleges to participate in the California high school cadet program, The bill which is a defense measure, amends the military and veterans code so that junior colleges can receive the same equipment and the training as high school students are now permitted to have, in cooperation with the adjutant general’s office. Thurman said that his bill primarily concerned Placer junior college at Auburn which has a large registration of students from. Nevada The Placer junior college desires to join with Placer Union high school in the cadet program. Both schools are administered by the same board of trustees. The cadet program is now in effect in the high school. The state furnishes the rifies and racks and other equipment. However, the school or college district, must furnish the uniforms and instructor. : The bill carries an urgency clause and would go into effect immediately upon enactment by the legislature. It would add sections 518 and 519 to the code. Thurman said: ‘‘An emergency exists in the United States and the _ State of California in providing ade. quate armies and facilities of de. fense. The National Guard which ; has heretofore been available to the} . State as a defense organization, is ; being called into service of the Uni' ted States and it is necessary that provision be made to make the un' organized militia more readily avai!‘able for defense in case of necessity. .

As a result, when they enter the service they: will not be raw Tecruits but will have had some experience in military training. It will further save time and money for the federal and state governments. Return From Oregon— Mr. and Mrs. L. G.
