Manchester Enterprise The Rockville
Journals thirty fifth anniversary rolled
around last week. For thirty-five years
The Journal has faithfully recorded Rock
ville's joys and sorrows, trials and
triumphs, hopes and disappointments.
The history of the city during that period
can be found within It's files. And yet we
doubt If Rockville appreciates its news
papers. Few small communities do.
They compare the country paper with the
big city dailies, not taking into consider
alton that the one Is In small town and
the other in large city. Most country
papers are as far advanced as the towns
they live In. Rockville's papers are
farther advanced than their city. 1t Is
safe to say that In thirty-five years more
The Journal will be doing business as u.s.
ual.
