NEWSP PIERS BEST AND MOST
 TRUSTWORTHY NEWS MEDIUM
 SAYS SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
''There Can Be No Really Serious Challenge to the Press From Radio, Movies and Looking Ahead,
 TeIevisiOn- Radio No Advertising Menace

cannot be apprehended so casually. But we sit down to read Q news- paper. We concentrate upon it. So the ideas which we find on tho printed page reach out to us. We think them over. They help us to form considered opinions, which we may be glad to have reinforced up- on the radio"
 Press Must IBe Free
 MT. Churchill also discusses news conditions in other countries than England and the United States. pointing out that if the press is to live up to its traditions 1t must be free.
 "The fate of the press in Ger many is an object lesson" he says. Journals whose names were house. hold words, which were read and quoted all over Europe. have ceased publication. Prescribed or shack led, deprived of independence, or the right to express freely opinions, honestly held, they have died one by one. Those newspapers which re- main, the servile mouthpieces of the regime. pap-fed by the Ministry of Propaganda, see their Circula- tions dwindle daily.
 Dictatorship has allowed . wider measure of freedom to the Italian newspapers, but there, too, prestige of the press has suffered from the knowledge that 1t enjoys only a shadowy independence, and that no editor dares to offend the Duce.
 T believe that only in Russia has the circulation of newspapers inc creased under g dictatorship. But that increase is due almost entirely to the fact that much larger pro- portion of the population than formerly is now able to read. And Russia, it may be remembered, Eev- CT possessed 8 free press.
 Press Unsleering Guardian
 "As . general principle we may say that dictatorship and the liber- ty of the press are incompatible.
 "A free press is the iinsleeping guardian of every other right that free men prize: it is the most dan. gerous foe of tyranny" he writes, 'No wonder then that the great demOcracies have always been quick to resent any attempt to limit it's independence or to bring 1t under regulation"

NV HOPES TO
INSTALL FREIGHT
PICKUP SERVICE

Permission to establish free pick
up and delivery service on less than
carload freight shipments-with no
restrictions as to distance carried or
to weights-has been asked of the
Western Trunk Line committee by the
Chicago and North Western system
as further step to combat truck
competition, according to H. w. Bey-
ers, vice president-trafic of the
North Western.
This service, when made effective,
will be the first unrestricted free
pickup and delivery service on any
railroad. Other roads in the east,
south and on the Pacific coast have
free pickup and delivery but all
have either a restriction on distance
or weight. The new arrangement
will effect more than 1,100 freight
stations on the North Western and
Omaha railroads.
The rates on the new proposed
service will be the same as the pre-
sent station to station rates-the
costs Of the pickup and delivery will
be absorbed by the North Western.
In the proposal submitted, ship
pers and receivers are given the op-
ton of two arrangements:
l. The Chicago and North West
ern will take care of the pickup and
delivery.
2. The railway will make allow
ances for trucking to the shipper,
the receiver or the trucking COM
pany doing the work.
Local carriage companies at every
station on the system will do the
work for the North Western under a
contract arrangement with the road.

HOSPITAL FREE WORK EXCEEDS
AID

Free work done in charity cases by
State-aided hospitals during the first
quarter of the present fiscal year was
valued at nearly double the amount
of their appropriations in reporf
submitted last week by Samuel E.
Shanahan, director OF the Board OF
State Aid and Charities.
Appropriations for the three
month period for fifteen such insti-
tutions in the counties totaled $780,
$50 and for thirteen In Baltimore
city, the figure was $43,S75.
The county institutions. It was
said, earned $56,100.8s-that is,
their free services were valued at
that figure-while the free work
done in the thirteen State-aided hos
pitfalls in the city totaled $70,53S.71'

by each hospital during the three
month period places the work OF

FIRST SHELTER BELT PLANTING
THIS SPRING
Six States To Get Preliminary Plots
OF Eonr Million Treea

Six States To Get Preliminary Plots
OF Four Million Trees
One hundred and fifty miles Of
shelter belt planting in the drought
area, the Forestry News Diges: an
nounces, will be made by the United
States Forest Service this spring.
There will be thirty planting areas
each about five miles long. These
will be divided between six states,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Me-
baska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas.
Approximately four million trees
will be required, one hundred thirty
nine thousand for each planting.
These trees will be obtained from
nurseries in the drouth region.
1t is estimated that 140 man days
work will be. required for each mile.
or total of 81, 900 man days for the
entire $50 miles of planting.
The work will include nursery
production, ground cultivation, fence
construction, etc.
There are now, in sections of the
drouth area, great many wind
breaks. SINE Of them fifty years old,
says CharlesaLathrop Pack. president
of the American Tree Association.
These have demonstrated their Mse-
fulness for many years, and in many
instances farmer owners Of these
windbroaks have gathered good crops
on the lea side OF them despite pre-
vailing dry conditions.
1t is roughly estimated that OF the
trees planted in the drouth areas of
the middle west including windbreak,
shade tree, and general planting,
about SO per cent have survived. It
is believed that greater care in seiec- !
ton of species for such paintings
will increase, considerably, the num-
Der OF trees that will thrive and live.

cured the best information possible |
to, enable them to determine the best

PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS FED
ERAL AID TO EDUCATION

-
In President Roosevelt's recent
message to Congress on economic
security he stated his position on fed
eral aid to public education as fol-
lows:
Education has been regarded in
this country as responsibility of the
state and local governments and
should remain SO. In the joint at
tack ON economic security which we
suggest, federal participation, how
ever, ia most desirable. To a con-
siderable extent the Federal Govern
ment is already participating in this
endeavor and we believe that 1t
should continue to do so, If possible,
on an extended scale"
This is the first recommendation
the President has made looking to
federal aid of public education by act
Of Congress. His great influence in
this matter is delayed two years.
Such delay in education is a great
misfortune both to che individual
and the social order. Moreover, had
sufficient money been allocated from
the PWA which went into material
improvements and expended in keep
ing open all of our public schools,
the pump of our economic system
would be flowing prosperity more
freely now. This position is based
on the fact that our schools are ready
to place maintenance funds into cir
culation, whereas putting money into
circulation in building and other
constructive work is essentially re-
tarded.
However, here are some of the
reasons why federal aid to the pub
lie schools should be materially in
creased at this time:
More than 5000 schools were ex-
pected to close by March 1, 1885,
with not more than six-month terms,
unless emergency federal aid is pro-
vided.
There are 100000 more pupils to
be taught than las: year; 100000
more than in 1880.
There are a few more teachers
than last year, but 1900 fewer than
in 1880.
About 100000 teachers, nearly
one in three, are receiving less than
$3.50 annually.
Approximately $4,000 teachers,
one in sixteen, are receiving less than
$3.50 annually.
Unpaid salaries and outstanding
salary warrants and certificates Of
Indebtedness amount to over
500. 0O0, 900.
Many teachers in elementary
schools have classes of SO, 60, up to
70 pupils.
Even in the Nations Capital SO
per cent of all elementary classes
enroll more than 40 pupils.
Kindergartens, music, art, play5
grounds, evening schools, classes for
Handicapped children, and other es-
|sential services which have been
eliminated from many school pro-
grams are still lacking in large
number of cities.
Money spent on schools in 1934-36
will be $475, 00O, 200 less than in
rs2s-3O, and $3s2,OO0,O 900 less than
in 1891 80, the third depression
year.
