PLEDGES HIS PAPER TO THE
SERVICE OF HIS COMMUNITY
Walter B. Sanders, editor of the
Munda (N. Y.) News, carries under
his masthead, first, this quotation
from Lincoln, “Let us have faith
that right makes might and in that
faith let us to that end dare to do
our duty as we see it,” and beneath
that, in a box, this pledge to com-
munity service:
“The News is pledged to the ser-
vice of this community and surround
ing towns; to present the news every
week simply and truthfully, without
bias and to comment honestly on
public matters. It does not wish or
attempt to force its own opinions
on its readers, but encourages each
one to form his own conclusions.
The News has no axe to grind and it
dedicates itself anew to its steadfast
purpose to be the people’s paper—
your paper, devoted to the best inter­
ests of the community, the state and
the nation.”
That’s our policy.

AT A PREMIUM
No longer can they poke fun at the
small towns of this country for they
are coming into their own. Towns like
Vernonia can rejoice at every in­
crease in population of the big town,
because with each increase comes a
pushing out and a growing desire
of those who have lived in them for
years to get into the rural districts
or suburban settlements. The reason
is plain. Congested cities are not as
desirable for homes as the smaller
towns, unless one is able to own a
home along millionaire row. Smoke­
stacks and tall buildings make for
efficiency, but not for morality and
happy living.
The day will con|e, in fact it is just
about here, when the smaller com­
munity can provide for the need* of
citizens as well or better than the
great city. Its library, schools, chur­
ches and stores are more accessible
and just as efficient, and without the
distractiins so common to thickly
populated district*. The children are
safer, both physically and morally,
and from the standpoint of health,
there is no comparison. Tlut, great­
er than all these, the smaller towns
provide an opportunity for friend­
ship, for knowing and meeting and
greeting the other fellow, that al­
ways will remain an unchallenged as­
set over that of the city. There will
—■■■
ever be found a spirit of fratehnalism
and neighborly solicitude that the
large city cannot hope to feel or
know. There is no cause these days
for poking fun at the small town, and
very little of it is being done. Only
the densely ignorant are doing so,
and their number is fast diminishing.
