Keep Smiling Recreation News By Dean Prior SOFTBALL MAJOR LEAGUE A sense of humor is a great shock absorber. It carries you over the bumps of life. I hate the guys who criticize and minimize the other guys whose enterprise en-terprise has made them rise above the guys who criticize. Anon Nothing astonishes me so much as common sense and plain dealing. Ralph Waldo Emerson The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. Henry A Courtney A Smile A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who re ceive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None of us is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it, A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business and is the countersign of friend- shin. It brings rest to the weary cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged. or borrowed '.or; stolen, for it is something , that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give a smiie, Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. Mutual Moments 0. B.

By Special Permission A distinctively American institution is nictured in the Tinintincra and sketches by Norman Rockwell n this issue of the Saturday Evening Post The country weekly newsDaoer is about th hpst. svmhnl nf democracy that we have. It has been said, and not derogatively, that "only on its columns do the ordinary event and the ordinary individual attain the stature of news." In accordin them this prominence, the country newspaper is simply living up to its responsibility, which is to print the most interesting news in the sphere of the small town and surrounding countryside. As a result, everybody in the communitv eniovs the tmvileire of frequently seeing his name in print. In fact, from the time it reports his birth, the hometown paper takes a watchful and benevolent interest in the progress and destiny o feach member of its community. And, in printing its own kind of news, the country newspaper becomes one oi tne most laitntul mirrors of American life. Yet, for all its devotion to community affairs, the country news paper is among the least standardized of all our products. It is usually a one-man proposition, so far as ownership or direction goes. This allows a lot of opportunity for the editor to be himself and to make his newspaper an expression of his own personality and ideas. Of course we have heard of country editors who play strictly for the county advertising and never leave the shelter of the political machine, ma-chine, but it is to the credit of country editors that so many of them use their opportunity for the good oftheir communities. The record of the editor pictured in Norman Rockwell's paintings is fairly typical. The country editors readers know him personally, which can be an advantage or otherwise. It is a situation that works inexorably against self-seeking, hypocrisy and spinelessness, and gives an influence to the country newspaper that has an editor with character and the right purposes. For the editor and his newspaper become more or less identical in the view of its readers. This synonymy serves more than one use, as a country editor, Granville Barrere, of the Hillsboro, Ohio, News-Herald, illustrated in explaining the rise of the columnists in the big city newspapers. "The great metropolitan editors, whose newspapers were identified with themselves, have mostly passed," he pointed out. ' Somebody with a personal viewpoint had to take their place, and that was where the columnists came in. People wanted someone to quote or to cuss. The readers of the News-Herald and other good country papers never feel that lack. The editorial pages of the country press reflect this individuality. Some of the best paragraphers in the country are found among the ranks of country editors, and there is an occasional one who can haul off and write an editorial that will take the varnish off the courthouse dome. But there is a particular quality that lends pungency to their writing. In the rather intimate life of the small town a smart country editor gets to know human nature pretty well. He recognizes that it mills about the same grade m the halls of the mighty as it does in his own community.
