Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH THE READER'S DATE BOOK Freedom Is Theme of National Newspaper Week, October 7- -8 During the week of October 1 -- 8 the readers of this newspaper, j and thousands of other readers of publications like it in the small towns of America, will read the slogan, "Your Newspaper Lights the Way of Freedom." During the week the newspapers of Amer-ica will tell their readers how they operate, the details of publica-tion, what they stand for, but above all they will try to tell the story of freedom. And whether or not they succeed, or to what degree they succeed, may have an everlasting effect upon the lives of their readers. For the American press remains one of the great pillars of this nation's freedom. The word freedom is widely used today. It is a word every American takes for granted in all its meanings A . But sometimes it fit IS an empty word, ifinilt made so before the .fTifiM'T reader or speaker rcaiizes lne fact. FEATURE For instance, in I a southern town a battle between the community's newspaper and other elements of the area is underway that .nay well end in the silencing of that community's publication. The newspaper wants to tell the story of gambling in the commu-nity, and has atempted to do so. There are elements in the commu-nity that want it silenced. In an eastern town two editors of weekly newspapers are barred from at-tending and reporting the village council's monthly meetings. Public officials do not want the official iusiness of the village published. True, these are Isolated in-stances; some may argue not of national significance. That is not true. Isolated, yes, but hav-ing great national Importance. For here are the first, perhaps, of a number of instances when the voice of the press would be silenced. If encouraged, then other communities would soon suffer similar activities of groups and interests not dedi-cated to the American way ef life or the principles of free-dom as understiod by the average American. nation will trj to tell during Nation-al Newspaper Week. It is an im-portant story. It is important be-cause that definition of a newspa-per is also the definition of free-dom. Without this free expression of ideals and thoughts and opinions there would be no liberty in this country. The men who helped form this nation thought it important, be-cause they wrote into the constitu-tion: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging freedom of speech and freedom of the press." Napoleon, one of the great dicta-tors of history, knew its importance and took steps to limit the free press of France. He said, "Three hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. ' It is probably one of the few times that Napoleon underestimated a potential enemy. In past weeks this space has been dedicated to special weeks and events, telling the story of how the reader, the newspaper and the merchant can put these occasions to work for their benefit and that of the commu-nity. But in the telling of the story of the newspaper and its relations to the community, it would be untruthful to leave the Impression that all newspapers have been used for the best interests of the community. In the past the free press of America has been used by selfish, and often, greedy men for their own benefits. Undoubtedly, in some communities, the press is still con-trolled by those who do not use It for the best interests of the town. Such instances, however, are be-coming more and more isolated. This does not mean the general rWM UGHTS THE WAY During the week of 6ctober 8 National Newspaper Week this newspaper and others like it will try to tell the story of what a free press means to this community, the state, and the nation. What does this newspaper mean to the individuals of this commu-nity? For instance, the merchant. To him it is an advertising medium, through which he tells the people of the community what he has to offer n the way of goods and services, tt does a good job for him, but more often than not he grumbles when he has to pay his monthly bill. He sees the 10-in- ad as a ad, nothing more. He doesn't stop to multiply that 10-in-ch ad by the newspaper's circula-tion and thus arrive at the actual advertising space he received. To the editor the newspaper Is work, pleasant work or he would not be doing it. It is also the me-dium through which he often tries to express himself and it is the means by which he makes a living. And tc all those others the lino-type operator, the pressman, the newspaper boy it is a job and a ihing in which they find satisfac-tion and take pride. But your community newspa-per ' more than these things. It has an elusive, almost tangi-ble quality. It is a reflection of the community itself its think-ing, its opinions, its activities; it is the focal point of an In-cidents, both tangible and in-tangible which make and develop your home town; it is yru and your neighbors, who are actors across its pages; it is a history of you and the com-munity. This is part of the story newspa-pers in every community In the run of editors are "knights in shining armor" carrying a sword against the world's evils. They are hard working and often underpayed men who write facts about their communities. And once in a great while they find an injustice and campaign against it with the wea-pon at hand their newspapers. But day by day the editor goes along telling the truth the facts of instances and circumstances in his community. Alone he can do nothing about them, but by telling the truths he hopes to arouse in his fellow citizens indignation against injustice and good wil1 for right-eousness. This is the everyday campaign of freedom. There is an often repeated story in newspaper circles that illus-trates how human an editor can really be. The paragraph appeared in the Melrose (Wis.) Chronicle and reads: "It is reported that one of the fastidious newly-marrie- d ladles of this town kneads bread with her gloves on. This incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on; be needs bread with his shirt on; he needs bread with his pants on, and unless some of the delinquent sub-scribers of this "Old Rag of Freedom" pony op before long, be will need bread without a damn thing on, and Wisconsin is no Garden of Eden in the wintc. time." This is a part of the story news-papers will tell their readers dur-ing the week of October When the full story is told it will have created a greater understanding for each reader of the things that make up his local newspaper and what it represents.

They have opened schedule that runs from September 15 to December 21, not including the vari-ous Bowls of New Year's day. This means about as much foot-ball as even a football-minde- d na-tion can absorb without gagging. The big gap will come from the absent stars of what would have been a magnificent Army team, now scattered to the winds. The scramble for sectional su-premacy will be as keen this sea-son as it always is. What sector will take over the lead? East, South, Midwest, Southwest or Far West? The complete wreckage of a pow-erful Army squad, the most drastic So will Baylor and Oklahoma. We like Texas A. and M., plus Baylor. This sector, may pro-duce five teams to match any other five. I doubt that any other section will have four teams better than Texas A. and M., Baylor, Texas and Okla-homa. Not even the Midwest. What about the Far West? So far the early autumn dope doesn't in-dicate too much strength. But the Far West has a possible champion in Washington, with strong teams at California, U.C.L.A., and South-ern California. Washington can be quite tough and so can U.C.L.A., where Red Sanders has done an exceptional job of coaching. The sectional strug-gle should rest with the South, the Midwest and the Southwest. Here may be the five top teams-So- uth Tennessee, Alabama, Ken-tucky, Miami and North Carolina. Midwest Ohio State, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Michigan. Southwest Texas A. and M., Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma, T.C.U. and Rice or S.M.U. This time I like the South or the Southwest over the Midwest. Notre in football history, weakens the East no little. Army, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Navy, Princeton and had the East well up. Pennsyl-vania, Cornell, Navy and Princeton won't be too bad, with possibilities Grantlind Rici ilom Yale- - Ford" ham, Dartmouth, and Columbia. The South, combining both conferences, can offer a rugged challenge to anyone. The South can offer Tennessee, Alabama, Maryland, Miami, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Georgia, LSU, with possi-bilities from Florida, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Tennes-see, Alabama, Kentucky and Miami are dead certain to be packed with TNT. When you move to the Midwest, you step into one of the star spots of the game. Here you have Michi-gan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and others. This section is always one of foot-ball's strongholds. It is usually chal-lenged by the South and the South-west in louder tones. Tornado Land The Southwest is football's tor-nado land. The state of Texas furnishes most of the dyna-mite, but not all of it. From the Southwest we get Okla-homa, Texas A. and M., Texas, Baylor, S.M.U., Rice, T.C.U. and Missouri. A Southwestern championship is usually a carnival of form slaughter where everything can happen. Texas A. and M. will be hlgb. Dame and Michigan are not quite what they used to be. The Autumn Stretch NEW YORK-Sarat- oga is closed after a record month and the gen-eral excitement moves back to the Big Stem. In the last month it seems that Princeton contributed another big winner to the new list. His name is John Gaver, trainer for the Whit-ney's Greentree stable, who is re-turning to New York tracks with a brace of thoroughbreds known as Hall of Fame and Tom Fool, two of the shining lights in the two-- and three-year-ol- d divisions. The 1952 Kentucky Derby is now over eight months away. But there are more than a few sharp observ-ers who have already moved Tom Fool into the front spot. Mr. John B. Campbell will have to inspect Tom Fool, Cousin, Jet Mas-ter and also a couple of Calumet entries before he passes on his rat-ing for the of 1951. You may recall that last winter, Mr. Campbell named Uncle Miltie as the top horse with Battlefield ranked well up. Uncle Miltie started like a shell from a howitzer until he broke. Battlefield moved in to be the best three-year-ol- d of the year, un-less Greentree's Hall of Fame can take the lead during autumn's ap-proaching stretch. rBy JIM RHOPfpip Mystery Solved Solved at last has been the mys-tery of the famous jumbo 0 Winchester Express cartridge which has baffled gun experts for the past half century. Tills largest sporting cartridge ever made by the New Haven sporting arms and ammuni-tion company, has baffled the ex-perts since it was first discovered jn the 1888 cartridge boards which were common sights in sporting goods stores in the latter part of the last century. The 0 was an experimental ;artridge developed for the obsolete Model 1887 lever action shotgun equipped with a special rifled bar-rel, according to Paul Foster, Win-chester ammunition expert tn a copyrighted exclusive article In the aew edition of the Gun Digest. This most controversial of all Winchester cartridges was seven-tenth- s of an inch in diameter. The Model 87 shotgun was the first shot-gun Winchester made. Philip Jay Medicus, leading deal-er in obsolete ammunition, esti-mates that only between 25 and 35 sf these rare cartridges are still In existence. One is pictured in his new catalogue, and another in "Cartridges" by Herschel C. Logan, standard reference work on car-tridges. The H. P. White Company 3f Cleveland has several of these rare cartridges in its reference col-lection. The nost recent sale of a Winchester was for $20 for a lingle cartridge. The Gun Digest article on "For-gotten Winchester" cartridges also describes 64 other rare and obso-lete Winchester cartridges which will be news to the growing army of cartridge collectors.

AAA Record Muskies For the first time, a resort and fishing region is making an effort to keep track of all legal muskies caught. It's being done through a season-lon- g musky marathon conducted in Vilas county by Wisconsin head-waters country, the region's new promotion organization. And the number of fish being re-ported Is astounding everyone old-tim- e fishermen, guides, resort op-erators. Near the end of the sea-ion- 's sixth week a total of 842 muskies had been reported. At that rate an average of 140 a week the season may pro-duce as many as 3,000 of the big game fish reported from Vilas coun-ty lakes. "Naturally, we're not hearing about all the muskies caught," says Merv Clough, executive secretary of the organization. "It's a big job educating everyone up here to the Importance of reporting. But more and more are beginning to coop-erate, and the count Is mounting. "We will have some mighty im-portant figures and data to analyze, by the end of the season." At his office in Sayner where rec-ords are kpt on the marthon, Clough reports that charts are be Ing compiled on the lakes producing muskies, lengths and weights of thp fish reported, and where possible the type of lure used on each fish Biggest musky reported so far it the tiger specimen caught in Lac Vieux Desert by Mrs Dolores Ott Lapp, vife of Guide Jack Lapp in the Land O'Laket area. Other big ones have been reported in the marathon. Thert have been two weighing 43 pounds, one each at 41 and 40 pounds, two at 36, and 35 and A check on the first 500 reported showed an aver-age weight of 12 pounds, and an average length of 36V4 lnchea. AAA Kentucky Reel For the first time since modem bait-castin- g began, a generation of fishermen are growing up Who may never have a chance to fish an old Kentucky reel a genuine B. F. Meek. These were the first mulply-ln- g reels ever made, and they were responsible for bait-castin- g as we know it today. For more than 100 years. Meek reels were known and used around the world. Many old-tim- e fishermen still regard them as the greatest reels ever produced.! 5 Sj V jfflyptiSm WfWmm Top to Bottom The Bright Young Thing entered the men's shop and approached the counter.

I Much of the World Has No Free Press Much of the world today has no tree press. Publication of newspa-pers behind the iron curtain is under itrict government control and are jsed primarily for propaganda pur-poses. Even on this side of the iron cur-tain, in such countries as Argen-tina. India, Egypt. Venezuela, and Mexico, the press is restricted in what it can publish. Even in the United States, in riorida - stances, bills have been introduced in state legislatures which would restric'. the press. All were killed, but they will crop up again in other places and in other forms. Attempts' nave been and contin-ue to be made in many states and municipalities to force licensing of newspapers. If such a law was passed then a newspaper could be silenced by merely revoking its license for publication. This is the constant battle cf freedom. |
