LIFTED EDITORIAL

The following editorial, under the
caption "Mr. Durbin Retires
Credit to the 4th Estate appeared
in the GAINESVILLE Sunday Times Sig
nal:
s'The newspaper fraternity u
southeastern Ohio is losing one o1
its ablest and most distinguishes
members as q result of Raymond
Durbin's decision. announced during
the past week, to retire from the
business and merge his widely
known weekly publication, the Nor
gaas Gonnty Democrat, with its long
time AAl newspaper, the McCon-
nelsyilie Herald.
TO the many Morgan county read.
era Of his excellent newspaper, Mr..
Dufbin stands as the embodiment
Of high principle, keen intellect
and ssynpathstic understanding.
Since His entry into the newspaper
business 81 years ago. his efforts
have enriched his community, and
the folks Of the twin city area are
prepared to witness the passing Of
tho Democrat with an unconcealed
sheW Of regret--or perhaps sorrow
Is more fitting word. The newspa-
per is an institution OF more than
20 years standing in Morgan coun-
ty. and Mr.. Durbin's editorial career
Is without parallel for length in the
history Of the community.
The spirit Of wholesome rivalry
which has existed In McConnels-
vile between the competing papers
is 4 tribute to the personality and
deep sense ofsethics which character
lied both Mr.. Dnrbin and his COM
petitor Wilbur n Matson.
Mr. Matson enters upon the pub
lication of the only newspaper in
Morgan county with sense of
added responsibility. He has done
a good job as editor of the Herald
for 25 years; now he intends to
keep alive the high traditions Of both
papers in a manner that will reflect
the best qualities of each.
The Times-Signal wishes to Mr..
Durbin the utmost of happiness in
his new role of a newspaper reader
instead of an editor; and to Mr..
Matson the ultimate in success for
his new undertaking as publisher
editor of a fine, consolidated news
paper"
Through the mail as we'll as In
person, the retiring editor of this
paper has received many kind mes
sages of praise concerning our ef-
forts as editor. We will be unable
to acknowledge all Of the flowers
In person, and we wish to state
here that they are all keenly ap-
preciated. Sometimes we feel that
we are getting much more praise
than we are entitled to. But again
we say thank you.
