NEWSPAPER WEEK 7
The sixth annual observance of Newspaper. Week, beginning next Monday, has a theme in which the men and women
of the American press may take honest pride: “A Free Press
—Torch of World Peace.”’
War time difficulties of the press, and journalism’s direct
contributions toward victory, may be passed over. Shortages
in materials and personnel were serious handicaps—but other
industries suffered comparable burdens. . Newspapers were:
lavish in donating curtailed space to War Bond drives, metal
and paper salvage drives, recruiting appeals, and thousand and
one other needs of public information and inspiration. But
other industries were likewise zealous in patroitic sacrifices
and labors.
The unique achievement of American journalism was, its
demonstration that true freedom of the press engenders a high
pride in integrity as well as a sense of intolerance for shackles
imposed from without. American newspapermen—scores of
thousands of them—accepted without coercion a voluntary
«ode of war time censorship. They were entrusted by the gov-ermmment with many secrets that would have been extremely
dangerous to this nation in the knowledge of our enemies. The
secrets were kept. The code was observd. There was no need
of a government censor in an American newspaper office.
History has proven, again and again, that human liberty
cannot long survive where the press is stifled and that despotism cannot survive for long where the press is free. In the torch
of a free press flames the hope of mankind for peace throughout the world—and in the war record of the free press of America is established a standard of honor and responsibility that
brightens the white flame.—Contributed. ‘A
THE WAR IS OVER, MR. BOWLES
retail
shoppers have receive a blow from Chester Bowles, OPA chief
to their hope of speedy restoration of normal shopping procedures and conveniences. They hoped the end of standing in
line in customer queues would come with recruitment of war
depleted sales staffs; the end of lugging parcels home would
come with resumption of delivef'y services; the end of trampling from store to store in search of items would come with the
relieved merchant sure of his supplies and therefore able to resume full advertising service to his custorhers.
ers that they shouldn't expect a return of those normal services during reconversion. OPA has ordered retail establishments to freeze sales prices at the 1942 level, and at the same
time absorb higher manufacturing prices granted to cover increased costs of raw materials and rising wages in consumer
goods production. Complaining against the “squeeze” on retailers as uneconomic and ruinous, retail organizations pointed out that their operating expenses are due to increase through
restoration of many customer services which were discontinued during the war—more deliveries, more clerks, gift wrapping, shopping services’ advertising, etc.
Bowles replied that there’s no valid need for big sales organizations or expanded advertising or other services because
the pent-up demand for consumer goods is so great people will
flock to the stores anyhow. In other words, customers will
continue to put up with anything.
Whatever Bowles may hear in further complaint from
harassed retailers, -it will probbly be mild in comparison with
the wratehful expressions of the country s housewives. At the
least they may remind him they’ve heard—on the authority
of gentlemen named Eisenhower, Nimitz, Halsey and MacArthur—that the war is over.—Contributed.
5000 ‘NEW ATOMIC PRODUCTS
Disclosure that research which led: to the’ atomic bomb
will make possible creation of 5000 new products and © procedures is breathtaking. How vast a.leap man apparently has
made toward solution of basic physical mysteries—toward
mastery of his invironment. And yet—how sardonically must
old Mother Nature chuckle at the vainglory of man. _
Man the master of his envorinment? Why, the old dame
would need take just one of her simplest elements from him
—the atmosphere—and within a few minutes every human
and animal on this globe would die gasping for breath. _ Or
should she take all water from this planet, all life would be extinct in a matter of days.
Perhaps this is why men who make their living with the
old dame’s cooperation respect her the more. They know she
has the final say. California’s classical example of this is the
decade-long fight of Central Valley agriculture, desperately
in need of irrigation water, to prevent the water supply issue
from being lost sight of through the expensive plans of power obsessed bureaucrats to turn the Central Valley Project
into a western TVA. The farmer knows the value of power
—it is essential to his business, it is as necessary in his home
as it is in the city home. Yet he has long had plenty of power
available: while to this day a drop of Central Valley Project
has not reached him. Dame Nature knows, even if some
bureaucrats do not, that it is impossible to turn a calf into a
beef by plugging its tail into a.light socket or to germinate
seed and grow a crop by some process of manipulating electric
switches. Dame Nature calls for water, and she laughs at the
whims of men. :
Those 5000 new products of atomic research are thrilling
to contemplate to be sure and doubtless will make living a
richer experience for all nations. Yet punk man, for all his acchievements should never seriously anticipate conquering old
But now Bowles has, in effect, told the nation’s consum——e WE ARE
ON OUR WAY
The peak of our Company’s telephone shortage was in August. Then we had about 305,000
unfilled orders for service of which more than
298,000 were for service in residences.
More orders come in every day, but now we
are installing telephones faster than the new
i orders come in. We will get 80,000 telephones
from July to December 31 this year, and 80,000
in the first three months of 1946.
Western Electric, our manufacturing company,
is setting up every machine it has that will
make telephone equipment.
In the next 12 months the Bell System expects
, to install more telephones than there were in
3 j all of France and Belgium before the war.
Even that will not give service to everyone who .
. . ‘Wants it in that time. There are places where
. we have complicated switchboards to install—
even places where we must build new buildings .
for the new switchboards. While there were in
August more than 123,000 unfilled orders due
to lack of telephone instruments, there was a
gteater number, about 164,000, unfilled due t
shortage of central office facilities. {
Bs But we are on our way to give ‘service to all
who want it—on our way to restore Bell SysBt tem standards of service and raise them even
2) higher. We are turning our facilities back to
civilian service just asfast as we turned them
to the instant needs of war.

and an artist with pictures in the
Metropolitan Museum,
Well, we’ve got our local heroes, too.. :
There was old Doc Turner,
who fought for years against the
intolerance and bigotry that
kept children from being vaccinated in our county.
And Deacon Follensby, who
fought for free pews in the
churches; Jess Hackney, who
has heroes, too
Our town
campaigned for teaching honest history in schools; Wedd
Towers, who fought the en-—
croachment of Prohibition in
our county and persuaded folks
they wanted tolerance and moderation in place of a return to
lawlessness.
You won’t find monuments to
these folks. But from where I
sit, they’re heroes in a cause
that’s pretty sacred in our town:
the cause of freedom, tolerance,
and human dignity.
