Show A This is National Newspaper Week, and if we tend to boast a little just now perhaps we may be indulged. For the newspaper, which regularly devotes itself to bring news and the interpretation of news to your homes, has a message of its own. We believe that message worthy of some attention. The American newspaper occupies a unique place in the world. Its freedom to print is guaranteed by the Constitution. It has been considered from the beginnings of the Republic and from even before that an essential instrument in the lives of the American people. Its basic purpose has been and always will be the same: To tell the happenings of the day. Here the function is of particular importance in regards to the happenings of government, which is but an instrument of the peoples will. Its next and almost inseparable function is to try to place the facts concerning these happenings in perspective to give them meaning in the light of other events, past and present. It has other important purposes to serve as a medium for advertising, to entertain and amuse, to serve as a public forum. You may, and undoubterly do, on occasion become discouraged with your newspaper or even become angry with it. Yet it is an indispensable item for intelligent living, and in more cases than is generally realized it is the most constructive and most educational item in a familys existence. Where newspapers are free from government restriction, as they are in the United States, you are free to select the reading matter of your choice. You are privileged to have a voice of protest. You are favored by having news of importance about you, personally, collected, verified and presented in readable ar.d understandable form delivered to your home every day. The modern newspaper is a swift and an accurate purveyor of important factual data and a medium of considered, mod- erate and enlightened opinion. The newspaper of America set aside this week, therefore, to call attention to the services they perform. But more than that they set it aside to remind themselves and their readers of the obligation they owe the American public. It is their constant hope that the reading public will continue to trust the integrity of their services. It is their constant effort to maintain the standards which have made tlys nation, more than all others, a nation of newspaper readings, National Newspaper Week, therefore, is not an occasion for by newspapers nearly so much as it is an occasion for It is a time for newspapers over the land to rededicate themselves to the trust placed in them by the vast intelligent, progressive and enlightened American public. self-prai- se WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTEO TO THE Funeral services were conducted Wednesday in the Payson Fourth Ward Chapel for Donald K.

It was not surprising that a few years later there began the annual ob- servance of a Fire Prevention Day, since broadened to an entire week, always observed in October so as to include the anniversary of the start of the Chicago fire, which was on October 9. This year Fire Prevention Week begins Sunday, October 6, and continues through Saturday, October 12. The week has been proclaimed by the President of the United States, by the Governor of Utah and by many mayors. There are many aspects of fire safety which deserve emand towns of phasis during this week, but in the smaller cities on be the should work of the us the to emphasis Utah it seems excellent volunteer fire department on whom the smaller communities and rural areas depend so much for fire protection. We owe much to the work of the 82 volunteer fire departments in Utah, including our department here in Payson, and to the 1250 men who give so unselfishy of their time to training and fjre fighting. One thing we owe these volunteer fire fighters most of all is our own cooperation in preventing fires. We can help make their task easier, at the same time we save oprselves from fires destructiveness, by cleaning away accumulations of rubbish, by guarding against defective chimneys and flues, by avoiding the careless use of matches and tobacco, by watching for defective or overloaded electrical equipment, and by limiting the use of combustible cleaning liquids. As we observe Fire Prevention Week this year, let us join in thanking our volunteer and professional firemen for their services, and at the same time promise our full cooperation in avoiding the many unnecessary fires which take such a heavy toll of life and property.
