THE COUNTRY EDITOR

Representative Harold C. Kiss

sembly. is the champion of the
country newspaper editor. In
recent debate in the legislature
he had this to say:
sThere is no one nearer the
people in the rural communities of
our state and in our smaller cities
and town than the country editors.
They protect the interest of their
citizens. They bost the town
they live in. They contribute
time and money to the upbuild-
ing of their home communities.
This nation needs our small
towns and cities. They are the
foundation of our prosperity and
our civilization. They are what
the few great cities we have live
off Of. They are the strong funda-
mental structure upon which we
must build our business prosper
ity and stable government. Form
er Ambassador Bryce, the great
English economist, said that the
menace of America was her great
cities and that the stability of the
America government and the fu-
ture of American civilization rest
ed upon her small cities and
towns and rural communities. II
we want to protect and upbuild
the country, let US vote in favor
Of the country editor, for they are
