DUCHESNE, DUCHESNE COUNTY, National Newspaper Week Ex-Con- UTAH, THURSDAY. OCTOBER Plans Start For Tuberculosis Campaign Here AN INFORMED PEOPLE Whether one reads a country weekly or a metropol-itanitadaily newspaper, it is still apparent that at no time in mans history is a free exchange of information more urgently needed than right now at this moment at of the Twentieth Century as we embark into the , th Atomic Age. The small country weekly has as vital a mission in the life of American citizens as the newspaper that has a circulation and reading public in the millions. We of the newspaper world are doing our best to keep America strong by telling the truth. However, we are finding our readers in a state of apathy in many respects. Why? The answer is pretty remote. It would take a great deal of space to analyze our feelings on the world situation. But one thing is apparent. Freedom is something easily lost and not so easily rewon. We must continue to fight for our liberty. Our liberty requires eternal vigilance against encroachments of all kinds. A truly free press is always in lhe forefront of those battles, but the press alone cannot cause freedom to survive. to threats 1$ calls for an informed public which is ever-aler to .its freedoms and to fight for its rights. History shows us that freedom is lost wherever a free dictators cannot stand the full harsh press is lost. Would-b- e glare of publicity they cannot tolerate truth. The press is the first attacked, and once that is captured or made subservient other freedoms quickly fall and perish. An informed people is one that has access to the necessary information in order to be able to form its own r opinion and manage its own affairs. An informed press" is a free press, which continually strives to give its readers the truth all the facts possible about issues which may affect the readers' present and future lives. Lets face the hard facts: The American people will remain an informed people as long as they have a free press. And they will have a free press only as long as they want it--, cherish it and fight for it against all encroachments. Once they fail to do this, purposely or by default, they will have lost the keystone to all their liberties which then will disappear like snowflakes under a warm sun. v E v n mid-poi- t nt rt ever-eage- .

Journalism may kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it." Horace Greeley, ADVERTISING MAKES THE WHEELS KEEP TURNING .... By ROBERT W. KINCEY The Birmingham News If money makes the mare go, as they say, then advertising makes the wheels turn and Ive never sold a nickels worth in my life. There just simply isnt a subject on earth so and with such a maze of ramification. Verily and without doubt it is the answer, in one form or another, to just about everything we think, eat, do, wear and go in in this bewildering world of ours. Advertising! Without it there would be no progress and the probability is the only elect and the very select would be far beyond the primitive stage today. Was looking at a magnificent new automobile the other and done up in every imaginable day. all sort of finery. It probably sold for somewhere near $7000, maybe more. And then the thought occurred that were it not for the demand created by advertising, in one or more of its multitudinous forms, the limited number produced would put them completely out of the reach of all but a handful of millionaires. And the same identical thing is true, in varying measure, from a box of cake mix to a baby grand piano. Advertising, in its broad and ethical aspects, is informative. Information is knowledge. Both are conducive to competition. And since competitive effort is what has made America great, it is safe to assume that the intensified competition will, of necessity, call for intensified selling effort advertising. SO potent and vital a factor has advertising become in (Continued on pace 2) PER COPY Senator Wallace F. Bennett, (R.
