Our American form of republic was devised to provide an in- genious system of checks and balances in government. The object, of course, was to make sure that too great a concentration of power would not be captured by the legislative bodies, the judiciary, or the executive with its broad police powers. The system has worked well. But it would not have been successful without the checks and balances supplied by a force apart from government the free and independent newspapers of America. Bcause of our alert, free,. and enterprising press, our courts, Congress, legislatures and executive bodies are exposed to the publics view, like goldfish in a glass bowl. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Americas newspapers keep that vigil, hours of every day .jSo that we do not forget the twenty-fou- r role of a free press in preserving freedom, National Newspaper Week is being observed October X to 8. w Five County Organization Discuss Areas Problems At Beaver Meet In September Members of the Organization met at Beaver September 6 for their regular monthly meeting.
