THE FRIENDLY DOOR The newspaper in your town—you take it, of course, and read it and find much in it to inform you and entertain you but you take it for granted just like the air you breathe or the glass of water always on tap, but suppose there was no newspaper*—that newspapers were closed by some Hitlerlike edict or padlocked for lack of patronage and the friendly door was no longer open for you to ask for a write-up or space for your lodge. club, church. chamber of commerce. Just suppose you wanted to speed up interest in raising funds for some public benefit, some patriotic effort or that you wanted to put over a hospital project or keep up the enthusiasm of the town for baseball or bowling or soft ball or basket ball. Suppose the police regulations were being ignored or flood conditions neglected and you wanted a gentle reminder, or the fire department needed backing-and the soldiers’ organizations had a little pat on the back coming for their fine patriotic record and activities—but there were no channels such as newspaper provides. Suppose you Wanted to sell or to buy— but there was no newspaper available. Yes, it would not only be depressing, inconvenient and unnatural but it would be costly, costly to community progress and costly to the individual who will never be able to inform the public as promptly and with so little expense as through the friend!y columns of the home town press. This is Newspaper Week all over the nation. Stop and think what the newspaper means to you, how you depend on it and utilize its faciiities. The subscribers and the readers build the circulation and increase the newspaper audience. The advertiser enables the newspaper publisher to make the subscription price almost nil. Advertising is the backbone of your paper. By patronizing the advertising columns directly or encouraging all business men to advertise, you assure the future of your newspaper and its service to you or your organization. During -National Newspaper Week prove your appreciation of past courtesies and our willing cooperation fifty-two weeks in the year by pledging your cooperation to your newspaper and the freedom of the press, an institution Americans can’t “letdown.” ' The press which is supported by a free people is the greatest asset of any nation. The subsidized press in existence to feather the interest of some special interest or as a propaganda media is to be deplored and spells the downfall of national freedom. “ The American way of life is reflected in the newspapers of America and depends on its free press for its perpetuation and many of its blessings. . No one is taxed to support the newspaper. It is far more valuable than many of the facilities for which you are taxed. As a public service it is hard to equal. Your voluntary patronage keep the presses running, the payroll going, the friendly door open for your many requests. Say a good word for your newspaper this week and every week.—Sonoma Index-Tribune. YES, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING (From California Mining Journal) When Harry Englebright went back to Washineten in the middle of September with the nomination and_ election tucked in his belt, his constituents were handed a jolt that. is not going to be forgotten. Mr. Englebright made his “access road”’ bill his. hottest campaign issue. In fact it was his broadside: This is. the law, you know, that would have given thousands of small owners of war deposits their opportunity of getting their ores out:to a government stock pile. All of the 52 newspapers in Harry's district and a number of metropolitan dailies ran the big story “of what Harry had done to get this miuch desired mineral into the hands of the government. Harry's opponents who labeled him an “‘obstructionist*“couldn’t get to’ first base—his road bill had wiped up all the obstructionists and the votes rolled in by thousands from all the mountain mineral districts that have been waiting to supply their ores to the government. But listen: Just as Harry was leaving for the national capital for another two years he told Edmund Kinyon. editor of the Grass Valley Morning Union, a big joke, resulting in Ed’s printing of the following: “Some confustion exists as to the status of the Englebright access roads bill from which relief to the mining interests in general was expected. Authoritative word is that the bill, carrying a relatively large appropriation, became law many months ago. However, following the entry of the United States into the war, the bulk of the proceeds was through some governmental process diverted to the Army and Navy for the building of roads and terminals. essential to their emergency operations. Beyond some two or three hundred _ thousand dollars, the mining objective has not benefitted.” . Maybe Harry will be back again two years looking for votes. from now TOOT AT ’EM Patriotic motorists complain that when they conform to the government's order of a maximum speed limit of .35 miles]. per hour that other motor vehicles go tearing past them as if _ they were standing still. They want to know what to do with these more reckless drivers who don’t seem to care how soon _they wear out their tires or how much gasoline they waste. _ The proper authorities can and must deal with those peowho refuse to conform to wartime regulations. They can punished by being denied recaps or synthetic tires—if and ‘News in Rhyme Over KJBS Daily at when synthetic rubber is available for private automobiles. They can also be punished by being refused used tires, which have now been frozen and are to be rationed in the future. Patriotic, citizens can best show their contempt of these wasteful drivers by giving them a derisive toot of the automobile horn when being~passed on the highway. If some motorist goes too fast,-gyye him a Bronx cheer from your horn. Show him that ae conservationist and doing your part, shame him into doing the same. JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder if the lovely things Which we have kept in kitchen gardens, And over which we've always ruled, High handed, dictatorial wardens, Will spurn our really overt ways, Or forge indeed so far ahead, That we will give them honored space And plant them in the tulip bed. ] wonder if you are amazed at the rapidity with which vegetables are coming to the front. During post years, we have given these humble denizens of the vegetable kingdom verv. little consideration. . Oh, I know we have planted them and given them a certain amount of necessary care, but we have never treated them as equals, never allowed them to grow pridefully or conspicuously. Now however, all this is changed. Vegetables have emerged from the victory garden with a vengeance. They now appear arrogantly in front lawns, rose . WORTHY ADVISOR Miss Dolores Rockefeller, aboye, is the: new worthy advisor ‘of the Nevada: City Rainbow Girls Chapter. The impressive ceremonies installing Miss Rockefeller were held recently. Miss Barbara Neal retired as worthy advisor. gardens and other floral reserves. They are to have their hitherto disregarded beauties displayed at flower shows, \in the words of the Georgia cracker, “how can it was.” I wonder. if these revoluttinary members of the V kingdom will get completely out of hand. We have oppressed them, are they about to turn and wreak vengeance upon us? For many long years we have plucked and peeled them, scraped and sliced them, baked and boiled, pickled and pared them. dried and canned them—make them serve us, furnish needed vitamines and build our bodily vigor and all this time. we kept them secluded in back yards in spaces dignified only by the term, kitchen gardens. Several years ago . wrote a series of articles extolling the ‘historic, romantic and decorative merits of our humble servitors, the vegetables. Could . interest an editor in their publication? I could not. At the time, I suffered disappointment, but now, . have the satisfaction of knowing that I was ahead of the times and that by writing in their defense, I gained the confidence of potatoes, beets, carrots, et al, and that in gratitude, they will respect and serve me well, now that they have come at length into their own. I wonder if some of us are selfish. Really, the young men of the nation together with their mothers-and fathers are the only ones who have made great sacrifices, but several socalled pressure blocs seem to be singing — I'll tak’ the high road an’ you tak’ the low road, An’ I'll get inflation afore ye; But me an’ my true pals will never more go down To the bony, bony level of pre war days. Let’s abandon our high roads and climb down from our high horse. We will have to, you know, before this war is won. Uncle Silas says:, ‘I never did like to have a strange young man step up to the door upon a certain occasion and sing, ‘Happy Birthday to You.” but it’s worse now when they are singing ads all over the radio. I shouldn't be surprised if some day I heard a nice fat voice singing the war news.—A. Merriam Conner. Those are the conclusions our president drew, On his continental span— That vigorous man will see us through— And we’ll support -his plan. FOLLOW THE LEADER 12:30 P. M. Written by Harley M.
