Ford's new 1971 Pinto, a two-door sedan, combines a small-oar small-oar feel with a sporty-car look. The sloping windshield is accented by the low, sleek lines of the hood and fenders. Ventless side windows add to the trim lines of the car. In the rear, Pinto's short deck and fastback lines stress the contemporary look of the Seventies. The Pinto is about 13'2 feet long, turns in a circle of only 31 feet for easy maneuverability and delivers more than 25 miles per gallon in city-suburban driving.

(NNW) -Newspaper journalism began in this country just 280 years ago. But there were no celebrations, celebra-tions, speeches, proclamations, proclama-tions, or any special occasions to mark the auspicious event. As a matter of fact when PUBLICK OCCURRENCES BOTH FOREIGN AND DO-MESTICK, DO-MESTICK, the nation's first newspaper, "hit the streets" in the town of Boston on the morning of September 25, 1690, there was considerable apprehension and a feeling of foreboding. To be sure, the little four-page four-page newspaper was eagerly accepted by the local residents. resi-dents. As a matter of fact, every copy was snatched up. The demand far exceeded the supply. And the little paper carried a wide variety of news stories never before produced in the Colonies. There were stories about a smallpox epidemic in Boston, a kidnapping of two children by Indians, a suicide by a depressed old man, who recently lost his wife, a big fire that destroyed 20 homes, a report of the labor shortage and the difficulty of harvesting har-vesting the crops, an account of skirmishes among the French, Indians, and English troops, and even a story that shocked some concerning the amours of King XIV of France. There was no doubt about it, editor Benjamin Harris had published an exciting little paper. But the trouble was he had committed a crime by publishing pub-lishing his newspaper. And it was a serious crime at that. It could mean a jail sentence. The law of that time, as Ben Harris knew very well, was that a license must be obtained ob-tained before any printing was done, and most certainly if the printing contained public pub-lic information or information about governmental activities. But Harris took a long chance and waited. He didn't have to wait very long. He was summoned before the Colonial Governor and Council to explain why he had violated the Regulation of Printing and Licensing Act of 1662.. Why, he was asked, didn't he first obtain a license before putting out the newspaper news-paper as required under the Act? Harris, of course, really couldn't answer the question. He knew very well, however, that a license meant prior approval ap-proval by the government of the contents and that meant a dull, uninteresting, not-too-informative publication. That is not what Harris had in mind. The fact that Harris put out an interesting newspaper that was extremely popular, probably prob-ably saved him from a jail sentence. sen-tence. The law was violated, of course, but even the stern Colonial authorities were loath to press too far against the new popularity of editor Harris. Harris was not jailed. He was prevented from ever publishing pub-lishing again in the American Colonies. His one issue of PUBLICK OCCURRENCES was all the that the Governor and Council would tolerate. In the proclamation issued by the Governor and Council, the official position about publishing newspapers without with-out a license was made very clear in the following words: "The Governor and Council having had the perusal of the said pamphlet, and finding that therein is contained reflections re-flections of a very high nature: As also sundry doubtful and uncertain reports, do hereby manifest and declare their high resentment and dis'al-lowance dis'al-lowance of said pamphlet, and order that the same be suppressed and called in; strictly forbidding any person per-son or persons for the future to set forth anything in print without License first obtained from those that are or shall be appointed by the Government Govern-ment to grant the same." The point was made and the lesson was learned about publishing newspapers without with-out permission. It took 14 years before someone else was able to muster enough courage to try again. In 1704, Boston Postmaster Post-master John Campbell did try again, but he first made sure he had a license to publish. pub-lish. He published his safe but dull newspaper "by Authority" Au-thority" for the next 20 years. Another Bostonian in August Au-gust of 1721 decided to publish pub-lish a newspaper without a license. He tried it and he got away with it despite the Regulation of Printing and Licensing Act still very much "on the books" His name was James Franklin, Frank-lin, older brother of Benjamin Franklin. Brother James Franklin was most unlike younger brother Ben in temperament and personality. per-sonality. Ben had all the qualities necessary to get along very well with people. Throughout his life he was considered diplomatic and personable. James was an opposite. op-posite. One thing James Franklin did possess, however, was a talent to publish a very interesting in-teresting and readable newspaper. news-paper. Right from the beginning begin-ning his unlicensed newspaper, news-paper, The New England Courant, "caught on". Everyone Every-one in Boston seemed to read it. The reputation of the newspaper spread throughout the colonies. Why was he allowed to print without a license? For one thing, the authorities authori-ties were quick to recognize that the New England Courant Cour-ant was extremely popular. And who enjoys opposing popularity? For another thing the Courant Cour-ant eschewed government news. Instead, the Courant concentrated, in the beginning begin-ning at least, on items about people, witty and entertaining entertain-ing essays, poems, letters, and criticisms of the established church. Since the church was the one power block that the Governor and Council feared, the governmental authorities were happy to have Franklin oppose the church as much as possible. The longer this went on, the more popular and powerful the New England Eng-land Courant became. It wasn't until James Franklin Frank-lin decided to criticize governmental gov-ernmental authorities (for laxity of law enforcement) did the Governor begin to object ob-ject to Franklin's unlicensed newspaper. By now it was too late to invoke the Licensing Act. The authorities had to object on other grounds. The charge: sedition. Franklin was jailed for a month for the crime of sedition se-dition (criticizirig the law enforcement en-forcement policies of the Governor) but the Courant survived. The New England Courant survived for 5V2 years and James was again tried for sedition. se-dition. The punishment the second time prevented Franklin Frank-lin from owning or publish-ong publish-ong the newspaper unless it first be censored by the authorities. au-thorities. Since he refused to do this he was not allowed to keep the newspaper. His way out of the dilemma was to put the newspaper in brother Ben's name, which, of course, was perfectly legal. As a fighting force The New England Courant was now finished. Benjamin Franklin soon left for Philadelphia to start a new career and James went to Rhode Island. But James Franklin and the Courant had won the "war". Licensing of the press in the Colonies as a viable, workable concept was done. No longer could authorities insist on a license or permit to publish or print under the Regulation of Printing and Licensing Act. The shackle that had controlled con-trolled the press since Gutenberg's Guten-berg's time in the mid 14()()'s was finally broken, thanks to James Franklin. |
