Show Orem-Geneva Times Thursday, Oct. 15, 1959 FREEDOM OF THE PRESS? With National Newspaper Week set Oct. 15, to 21-we 21-we pause to reflect upon the theme of the week: "Freedom's "Free-dom's Textbook." Freedom is expressed in many ways by many people, peo-ple, but almost universally, freedom has been stimulated and taught in the pages of a free pressi free to seek out the truth and free to express these facts. Never has any part of human society been called on more consistently than the press to play a significant Tole in protecting the rights of individuals. Your newspaper news-paper today is not only a key to better living, but it is truly freedom's textbook. To limit the press in its attempts to obtain accurate ac-curate and factual information would be to limit your right to know a basic concept in a free society. Despite De-spite this role, there are those who would deprive newspaper news-paper readers of this freedom. The barring of reporters' from town council meet-fags, meet-fags, legislative hearings, public committee meetings, and court trials is in a real sense an infringement on your right to know; a restriction on your newspaper's1 right to teach and report. Certainly, these practices should be condemned. But we could hardly take such a stand without first looking to ourselves and knowing full well that we practice prac-tice what we advocate. Let's take as an example our relations' with our advertisers. adver-tisers. The most important function we serve for them is in providing the circulation which gives the audience to their printed sales messages. We feel that each advertiser ad-vertiser has a right to know all the facts about this audience before he is invited to tell his sales story through our advertising columns. Just as the reporter should not be denied the iacts on events or transactions having public interest, neither should anyone with a legitimate interest be deprived of information which is essential as a sound basis for in-resting in-resting his advertising dollars. Just as we believe that complete information re-prding re-prding the advertising value of this newspaper should be available to our advertisers, so do we fight for the right of our readers to be fully informed regarding subjects sub-jects affecting their intrests. The press, as the recognized medium for informing inform-ing the people, should be given every opportunity to ob- P,Vact8- 0n,jr after every dor closed by a public official has been opened to the press, shall we have complete freedom of information. wi0ny 80 long a thifis true can yu" newspaper effectively ef-fectively serve as freedom's textbook.

A Washington Mythical Charlie Green While rummaging around In our desk we came across the July - August edition o f MONTHLY TAX FEATURES, published by Tax Foundation, Inc., and which we hadn't gotten got-ten around to mentioning before. be-fore. Looking it over again, ;it seemed to us that now, when the Congressman is home, is an even better time for comment than when the postman brought It. This particular issue is devoted de-voted entirely to the tax tribulations trib-ulations of a mythical Charlie Green. He is a composite of America's struggling young executives, ex-ecutives, has a wife, two children, chil-dren, and a split-level, or may be it's a ranch house. Anyway, he was getting $4,900 a year ten years ago and is now a $7,-500 $7,-500 man.-But success has not gone to his head. It has merely run out of his pockets. He's paying $1,091 more in taxes and - $1,014 more in higher prices, which leaves him $495 of his $2,600 raise! That is, unless un-less Mrs. Green imagines when shopping that they are much better off now than In '49. Tax Foundation indicates that Charlie cherishes some hope for a smaller Federal tax brte one of these days. i ii 2i in t i a Gy Ruth Louise Partridge CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The healing and redemptive power of the Christ, Truth, will be explained in the Lesson-Sermon Lesson-Sermon entitled "Doctrine of Atonement" at Christian Science Sci-ence services Sunday. Matthew's account of the healing of the leper by Christ Jesus (8:2-4) is included in the passages to be read from the King James Version of the Bible. From "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy this selection will be read (19:6): "Jesus aided aid-ed in reconciling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divmce Principle of Jesus' teachings, and this truer sence of Love redeems man from the law of matter, sin and death by the law of Spirit, the law of divine Love."

And the World Series is all over including the shout ing. What I'd like to know in all this hassle, is the feelings of the fans in Brooklyn. What do they think of their erst- whiles? So far nothing but tidal tid-al waves of silence from there. The Russians have a huge satellite swinging around the moon and expected to orbit in an astral figure eight as near as I can make it out on the drawings. And what have we got? A monumental steel strike dripping human greed and Washington is all tied up with qulzz program quizzes. Are the boys honest? Washington wants to know. This Is qulzz programs, not national defense, de-fense, or flood control or con-qulzz con-qulzz programs, in Washington! I don't know. Somehow this takes on a comic opera sort of slant the more I think of it and it is with real pleasure that I turn from such blood curdl-'ng curdl-'ng proceedures to such serious things as mushroom hunt. ' We" went up to DeLilly's to get our hair done, My Lady Mother and I. DeLilly and family fam-ily had been on a mushroom hunt. She reports that lovely mushrooms can be found where the Spanish Fork River em pties into the lake. Now It would be fun to just go down to the spot where Spanish Fork River empties into the lake without the added attraction of mushroom which I wouldn't dare eat anyhow. Well, the mushrooms are there and don't get stuck In the sand. If you know a mushroom from a toadstool, congratulation. I don't. I wouldn't trust my own mushroom picking. There are fantastic mushroom mush-room growing In the Kalbab Forest or were. All colors of the rainbow, they were. Pink, yellow, lavender, orange-beau tiful things. The late President Peterson commissioned an artist art-ist to paint a picture of them. I wonder what ever became of that picture. In New England they have a fungus that I've heard grows nowhere else. In dian pipes. They are shaped exactly like little clay pipes and they are all colors of the rainbow, too. They look like the work of the Little People Such beautiful things. Have been morbidly inter ested in the latest abduction case. The ex-cons in the pink car. Just passing through, but they made off with three Mon tana girls. Good girls. Never been away from home before at night, one mother said. Papa of one of the girl, a teenager, had just bought a new car. If he'd bought a copy of WHAT A YOUNG GIRL OUGHT TO KNOW and underlined the chapter on not taking up with strangers it would have been more to the point. Consider. Three yeggs drift into town in a pink car. They give out that they're just out of the service. Did anyone ask to see their honorable discharges? No. After Aft-er alL they had a pink car, which they said they'd bought between them. And on this, three sets of parents allow their . teenage - girls to dates these tramps, never having seen them before. Doesn't that strike you as a little odd? It does seem that there should be more concern on the part of people as to who and what their tender young things associate as-sociate with. You would hardly hard-ly let a man in to clean the furance on so little reconmen-dation reconmen-dation as that. Gifts to teen agers of cars seems to me a deplorable practice. 'No one should own a car before they can buy it themselves. No one. That's the way I feel about it and I don't care how much money you've got-or you eith er. The American worship of automobiles is, to my way of thinking, a very serious mal-adly mal-adly indeed. Just have a car, perferably a pink one, and what matter if the police are looking for you. Well, we'll see. And goodbye now. Iron in Utah's strength Iron mining is the starting point of important economic benefits for Utah. The mines themselves have about 550 employees, with payrolls of nearly $3,500,000 annually. an-nually. But even more important, tho mines have attracted steel and iron processing and fabricating plants that have about 10,000 employees who earn in the neighborhood of $60,000,000 a year.
