DEAN VIVIAN SPEAKS
FOR COUNTRY WEEKLY

Country communities need their
| own newspapers just as they need
their own churches, schools. and
banks" says Alfred Vivian, Dean of
the College of Agriculture, the Ohio
State University, in a statement lust
@iven ont for Support Yorr-Pome-
Paper-W Week, Nov. 7-12." The dean
sees in this movement an effort to
rally American opinion to the better
support of the local newspaper as a
typical American institution.
Unless personal convenience is
placed above community concern"
he says, Il think it could be shown
that country community needs a
nome newspaper even more than it
needs telephones. Telephones are a
convenient means of communication
between individuals mainly for their
personal concerns. The hometown
paper speaks not with an individual
voice, but for the community; not to
individuals, but to everyone, from
the rich man on the hill to the poor
man in the roadside cottage. Moth
ing goes further toward unifying a.
neighhorhood than a good weekly
or semi-weekly paper.
American communities have al
ways had such papers. No other ma
ton has anything like them. Be
cause we are used to them, we too
often undervalue them. 1t is only
lately that students of country life
have realized their Importance.
Home Paper Week is planned to
bring the general public to like
realization"
