No one questions it. And few bother to
put into words its importance and its value.
These are times of trouble and foreboding.
International relations are tense. Fear is
rampant among men. And on a higher level,
there is a grim race for power, with dip
lomatic maneuverings the outward signs ol
a struggle devised and executed in councils
o f governments.
There are lies and falsehoods, deliberate
perversions of the truth, which carry the
seeds o f this race for power. Some call it
“ necessary for national security", other ex
plain it as a means to an objective. Univer
sally, it is known as propoganda.
Propoganda, in its true sense, may be lor
good or for evil. But in the delilierate dis
tortion of facts, in order to qualify a con
clusion, propoganda is evil and in time will
destroy those who repeat it so often as to
even believe it themselves.
It is against this basic corruption o f Truth
that the American Press has its most sig
nificant task. It is the laying of Falsehood
and the dissemination of fact which is the
charge given to the newspapers o f the land.
To do the proi>er justice to this task, a
newspa|H*r must be honest and ethical itself.
It must pursue Truth relentlessly and with
out the bias engendered by selfish purposes.
There are numerous examples, across the
land, where a newspaper in an influential
position has not lived up to its full respon
sibility. In cheating the public, however,
such publications are cheating themselves
and digging a pit for their own oblivion.
When proper recognition is given to the
fact that running a newspaper, by the to
kens of a free press, is a matter of business,
it is an amazing phenomenon that there is
such wide freedom of expression in the land.
Certainly, keeping untarnished the ideals
of freedom while at the same time balanc
ing a set of ledgers deserves full credit for
faithfulness.
Newspa)H>rs, reflecting the daily life of

their communities. Liberty and Democracy
require a lot of living and u newspaper, to
prove its liasic fundamentals, must follow
out a long servitude for its fair assessment.
Freedom o f the press will continue as
long as there is courage in the heart o f man
and determination to stand up for Truth.
“COD WAY” OF FARMING
“ We are still going in the m l in the use
of our soils in American farming.
“ We are cutting our timber faster than it
is growing. We are using up our oil and gas
at lightning s|H'ed. We are lieing challenged
to H'lp industralize and lift the level o f life
in urge areas o f the world.
The apparent demand for using our nat
ural resources on a colossal scale to sustain
Our armed forces is another great drain
upon our natural resources. W e are desin*-

partners o f God in making a living from the
things which he has placed iqH>n the earth.
Making a living calls for meeting some
need physical, mental, social, or spiritual,
and involves relationship with God and with
other people. There is n way o f farming that
is in accord with the laws o f God -a'king-
dom of God way' of farming; and there is a
way of farming that is contrary to the laws
of God.
We have to stvk the ‘kingdon of G ih I way’
of farming, of using natural resources, of
relating ourselves to God’s purposes, and to
the needs of our neighbors.”

EDUCATION CONTROVRKSY
Probably nothing more controversial in
state school circles will appear to compart*
with the just-completed “ Holy Report , in
which Dr. T. C. Holy, school organization
authority o f Ohio State university, pro
pounds his analysis o f Oregon’s public school
system.
According to a fragment o f the massive
tome o f 4(H) pages, as delivered to the leg
islative interim committee, the chief indict
ment is the wastefulness of local school dis
tricts as opposed to a scientific plan of cen-

What Dr. Holy seems to argue, however,
is that the cost o f educating our young has
become so burdensome that local autonomy
must be yeilded in the interest o f those most
concerned— the very young who seek equal
educational opportunities.
With the state o f Oregon committed to
the proposition that the general standard of
education is a matter o f social responsibility,
regardless o f the economic standing o f in
dividual school districts involved, significant
state tax monies are being directed fo r
school support. Therefore this thinking con-
tinues, every Hdrnilii8trHtive device must 1)6
explored to brill# the results in line with the
financial contributions.
The concern o f the state government, like-
wise, might heighten considerably, in the
«vent that the degree o f basic school support
funds allocated* increases by $30, after the
Novemlier election.
There can be no argument, when tax bills
come due, that the people of the state will
attend any movement toward government ef-
ficiency with a favorable inclination. Surely,
i f there is any way to stop the avalanche of
taxation which cascades upon us uninter-
rupted, greater efficiency and wider results
from tax monies collected seems to o ffe r one
solution.
Whether or not this efficiency is o f
enough value to counterbalance the loss of
autonomy is the heart o f an education con
troversy suggested by the Holy Report.
