Your right to know! A xbwrpapbr , Eke a lam p, is valued for the light k gives. T h e more you see and know th e greater your freedom o f action. T h e facts and opinions, good and bad, pleas ing and displeasing, th a t are brought to you by the newspaper give you knowledge on which to -base your decisions about w hat to d o to g e t more out o f Efe— to cam more money, raise your fam ily, protect your home and to enjoy all the rights o f a free citizen. Some men and women don’t think you thou I d have such freedom. They have other plans for you. Th ey think you should change your wav of life to fit their ideas. And as a part of their planning they include the newspaper. • a a /beams* U /y know they can control your think- in i i f control your sources of knowledge t they arc agitating for control of the frees. N o t only o f newspapers bu t o f all publications. And in the background is control of the radio and the movies. Each o f these supplies in fo rm a tio n to you and helps you remain free. T h e newspaper is first on their list because it is your main source o f facts and opinions. From the newspaper you get the kind o f information you need to see that you get the right representation in government and the right laws. You learn o f crime and cor ruption, o f good deeds and better products. You know what is happening and have a free choice o f ideas. T h a t doesn’t fit in w ith w hat certain indi viduals and groups have decided. They claim th at editors are irresponsible and th a t you can’t be trusted to read what the editors print. They propose a sort o f over-all agency to pass on what shall be printed and w hat shall be read. H itle r had such a set-up. Stalin still has. Y ou m ay disagree w ith much th a t now ap pears in newspapers. You may argue for a more enlightened press. But, in place of the great variety o f facts and opinions which newspapers now print, what is in prospect is one kind of facts and opinions selected and published to keep you incompletely informed and dutifully subservient. ’ a .*/ hU neck. p Brash is taking advantage of this £pring-like weather to complete his contract on painting of the roads beinff b lo t hte Moro Presbyterian church From the Observer, Feb. 9,1900 second stroke.-: A bouncing baby boy arrived, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Adams of Kent Sunday, January 18th.
