D uring the week from O ctob er 3 to 8, new spapers throu ghou t the
United S ta te s will re -sta te th e ir ded ication to public serv ice and to
the proposition th a t the people have a rig h t to fa ir and im p artial
presentation of news.
To its fam ily of read ers, the B E A V E R T O N E N T E R P R I S E also
takes the opportunity to call to a tte n tio n a fa c t th a t is evident in
every one of Its issues. N am ely, th a t the guiding principle in news
coverage and news tre a tm e n t is th e ideal of public serv ice to
a wide and varied read ership.
T h e eth ics of our new s d ep artm en t coincid e w ith the tra d itio n a l
b elief th a t the public is e n titled to know all new s, w ithout d istortion,
suppression o r d iscrim in atio n .
The A m erican N ew spaper P u b lish ers' A ssociation phrases th is y e a r’s
them e as, "T h e R ig h t to K now is th e K ey to All Y ou r L ib e rtie s .”
The E N T E R P R I S E c a rrie s out th is them e in Its w eekly o ffe rin g o f
local news, ed itorial com m en t and fe a tu re a rtic le s .
Our ta sk is ca rrie d out w ith sin cere a p p recia tio n o f our resp on ­
sibility to our re a d ers and every e ffo r t possible is exerted to provide
an au then tic, read able pu blication .
Y et, the m agnitude o f a w eekly new spaper is such th a t one sm all
organization could hard ly be expected to do th e jo b w ithout tips,
suggestions and help from our m any read ers and th e ir m any in te r­
ests. B ecau se it is physically im possible fo r the new s s ta ff to spread
Itself thin enough to a tten d every fra te r n a l, social and neighborhood
a ffa ir throughout ou r a re a ,we m ust depend upon th e coop eration
of our read ers to send us in acco u n ts out o f w hich a story c a n be
built.
Likew ise,w hen an ed ito rial stand d iffe rs from the b elief o f any
of our read ers, we w ant them to know th a t a w elcom e is alw ays
extended to a le tte r giving th e ir own version s o f an issue under dis­
cussion. E v ery such letter, b a rrin g libelous m a te ria l, will find ready
space reserved fo r Its p resen tatio n in o u r colum ns.
And so, as a personal them e of th is new spaper, we wish to de­
clare th a t the principle o f ou r co n trib u tio n to public service m ight
be sum med up in the fa c t th at, to us, th e B E A V E R T O N E N T E R ­
