(DcDmmemtkiDipfiaQlL Browsing In September l!v Tom (iriffiih September is here and while I enjoy the cool nights and invigorating days, I am going to miss summer, laughing, genial summer with its pleasant memories Lovely - of fishing with congenial companions the sharing of sandwiches and a can of pop. I know it is a sin to be in love with another man's wife, but to be in love with her tuna fish sandwiches is a rare ex perience. Whenever we go on one of our fishing jaunts we always agree to share our sandwiches. I make my own and they are not bad, but to thoroughly enjoy them you must be good and hungry. My friend's wife makes the tuna fish sandwiches. They are out of this world. She can make this stuff that comes out of a can taste like the food of the gods. of gardening and was fuiti successful. However, there were some things I learned the hard way. To illustrate. My cauliflower were beautiful The heads developed but instead of being pearly white they were a dingy brown. I took one home and my good wife delegated it to the prbage can. Tou see, no om em told me you have to tie the leaves around the top to protect the in- those tuna fish sandwiches. I appreciate the couple of months rest from writing Browsing. Rot that it taxes my brain power such as it is, but I have had other things to think about For example, I have planted a large garden. I did have a fairly good knowledge I know my fishing companions think I am some kind of a nut when about nine o'clock in the morning I suggest it is time for a Thursday, September 18, 1980 Page B-- 4 sandwich. But like Whimpy and his I can't keep my mind off hamburgers, nards. The Press Must Be Free, Even If Not Perfect found that gardening is good for the body and the soul. The exercise for the body and being close to nature is good for the soul. I work in the garden in the early morn before the summer sun sends its hot rays to the earth. Somewhere a rooster crows and in a nearby tree a robin calls. Overhead, flocks of gulls, their white breasts showing like maverick snowflakes against the blue sky, are heading for their I have 6uC9RrtSMDURcflef v s f DUSM , ' K'm 11 ii" r ir ii i -- .

Prior to the proceedings, the judge informally asked the clerk to identify the litigants in the next case. When told the plantiff was the Utah Press, he mumbled audibly, "I don't know that I want to do anything for the press. They are always making a fuss about feeding grounds. There is magic in the soil of the earth. I see raspberries and strawberries give forth fruit that is sweet and luscious beyond description that comes out of plain old dirt. Corn that starts from a tiny grain, that becomes a blade of grass, then becomes shoulder high, and if you are a good gardener it grows above your head. Many mornings I have looked up the majestic hills and breathed a prayer of thanksgiving to Him who made these things possible. Last spring I made a grievous mistake. I sent a contribution to a politician who I thought might be good for our country. Since then I have received requests for contributions to all kinds of causes. Many of them are concerned about the welfare of the nation. The other day I received one that said our flag was being dishonored and if I sent a contribution it would help keep it flying. I even received a letter from Anita Bryant, she of the orange juice fame. She would like a contribution to her cause which is to protect our school children from homosexuals and other evil influences. blood revolts against My these requests for contributions. They may be honest but as the old Scotsman said, "I have me doots." As I write, rain is pelting down. I love its comforting sound. But back in my mind I see rain turning to snow with its accompanying cold. I visualize my furnace running and the gas meter racing and the gas company rubbing their hands with On September 2nd the Utah Press Association everyone else's mistakes, but they're never wrong. No sir, they're always perfect." That attitude is just right. The press must be aggressive enough to make a judge feel that he is being watched by imperfect people. He needs to be kept aware that his decisions and actions are exposed to the public, and his proceedings must be as simple and as clear as possible to avoid misunderstanding. In spite of the good intentions of a judge, observers may not all see the same facts in the same light. When one reporter gives an account that appears accurate to him, the judge may have a different view. And a second reporter may have still another view. The litigants involved also have their own views. Who is to say which view is wrong? Anyone's understanding of what took place is colored by his prior experience and the perspective of his by Barry McWilliams s involvement. reporter has the obligation to report the situation as a representative of the public -not as a judge or as a litigant. The story filed by one reporter has to be accurate because other reporters, the public who attended, and the court officers will discredit him if he is A (VOIR t?DHuMS SUR?) obviously wrong. In other words, the freedom to report requires reporting the truth. The mere fact that a judge and a reporter do not see the same things the same way underlines the necessity for freedom of speech and of the press. Each must be allowed to express what he believes to be true. And where several voices are allowed to speak, the public gets a more complete understanding of what actually took place. Freedom of the press also means that anyone can start his own newspaper, newsletter, magazine, or whatever. Broadcast media are still licensed by an agency of the federal government and have a limited freedom of entry into the industry and content of their Welsh-Scotc- h programming. If this freedom to report, freedom to enter the industry, or freedom to witness the activities of government is ever restricted, we will then lose our freedom to know the truth. As Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy, and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged." May judges, mayors, sheriffs, school board members, county commissioners, presidents, senators and every government official feel the uneasy pressure of an observing, imperfect glee. I must erase these thoughts from my mind for lovely September will soon be gone and with it the smile of nature. public whenever a reporter is present. j ,(p.
