Jose Iturbi brought back the old
look to Constitution Hall last night
where an audience Of majestic pro-
portions attended his recital. Re-
turning after four years absence, he
is one of the few artists this season
who has filled the auditorium to the
limit. The last years, that have
seen his rise to prominence as mo-
ton picture star, have deprived the
lovers Of piano music of an art that
is very individual. On hearing him
again, one was keenly conscious how
needed he is as part of the concert
season. But his departure into other
fields has gained him greater fol-
lowing, some of 1t for himself as
a screen personality and others from
new interest in music awakened
through his screen performances.

Our Local Papers

Our local papers play most
vital part in our every day life.
Many people think little about
it. They are not interested in the
progress or welfare of the indi-
vidual and community IN which
they live. If something Of inter
est takes place, they hurry over
to their neighbor and borrow his
paper to read. They rarely think
of subscribing to it themselves.
The local papers give us the
news of interest in our county
and community; news which
never reaches the big dailies. The
editors are awake and alert to
the interest of their readers.
They often go to a great deal of
trouble and expense getting
this information and even have
cuts made to illustrate the news
and articles. We look to the local
newspapers for news of births,
deaths, weddings and all other
items of interest of a local ma
ture
People should be interested in
the progress of the community
and county in which they live.
They should be interested in ali
progressive movements in the
county They should be interest
ed in the political issues of the
county and use their influence to
support what they think will be
to the best interest of the county
or community as a whole. They
should be interested in individu-
ais because it is these who make
up the communities and county
and upon their decisions hang
the destiny of your community
or county.
Articles And Letters
Do you read the articles and
letters which appear from time
to time in your paper? These are
the expressions of interested in
dividuals in the welfare of your
county. Why not write the edi-
tors once in a while and tell
them how you appreciate what
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1948-03-18

they would appreciate it very
much If you are burdened with
some problem or wish to state
your views on some subject, why
not do so through your paper?
Advertising
Do you know that the meagre
subscription price of your local
paper would not buy the paper
on which its is printed? Were it
not for the advertising in the
paper and job work they pick up
they could not run the paper at
all. The greater the circulation,
the better rate the paper can
get on advertising and the better
paper the editors can give us. Do
you realize that your local bust
ness firms are doing you a IA
vor when they advertise in your
local paper? They are keeping
you informed on what they have
and the prices, and saving you
lot of needless searching. These
local firms are interested in you
and are part Of your community.
They are helping support our
county expenses by the taxes
they pay into our treasury. How
much tax comes back to the coun
ty when you order goods from
the mail order houses? Not one
red cent
When you order goods from
mail order houses, you are cut
ing your own throat, figuratively
speaking. When you send your
money away just kiss it good
bye, because you will realize
nothing from it by way of taxes.
Would you buy a pig in a poke
Well, that is exactly what you
are doing when you order from
mail order houses. Nothing is as
good as the illustration shows il
to be. Mail order houses sell "off
brands of goods while our local
stores sell standard and we'll
