United States Is an informed press, un-
hampered in its zeal to gather and present
news, as an agency of a people by whom
this inherent right is held American news
papers are privately owned they form a
great organization, which is responsible to
the people, its readers, who buy the news
paper voluntarily, and Judge it by its CON
tent The readers have the privilege of dis
agreeing with the opinion expressed; they
have the right to buy or not buy the news
paper, they have the privilege to express
their opinions in the newspaper-the free
dom of the press is really the freedom of
the public. An informed press means an
informed people.
This freedom held by the people and the
privilege granted to the newspapers carry
with them heavy responsibilities The press
has the duty to print the news factually
and unbiased for the information Of the
readers, and editorially to interpret the
news as the opinion of the editors An in
formed public rarely makes a wrong deci-
SION, and free and untrammeled press
is the cornerstone Of an informed people
Law, order and justice-freedom of reli-
glon, speech, press and public assemblage-
are the high stakes to be jealousy guarded.
During the first week in October annu-
ally, the newspapers Of the United States
renew their pledge to their readers and
direct attention of the public to the respon-
slblltles which it shares with the working
press, ever standing guard to defend the
principles of the American Way of Life

Memories of Childhood Days

Within my heart. when all is still,
oft remember then
At twilight time, or beneath the stdrs,
Or yet, perhaps, when on the wind
The scent Of IiIocs comes, or when
Old stroins Of music come again,
Dear scenes OF youth where once vas
A little barefoot boy,
When oil the world seemed fair to me
And life was full Of Joy
From deep within my memory
These scenes ogoin view,
And though Iona wears have posed since then
Their joys live anew.
Again see each cherished spot
Which in childhood knew;
NY little home, its garden where
NY mothers flowers grew.
Oft boyhood dreams again return
Which buried long have lain,
And from behind the veil Of time
Come back to me again.
Today, still remember them
Though am old and grey,
And in my heart they will remain
Till life hos posed owoy.

Gods New Men
Lesson for October IL, 1858

A1HAT would it take to make an
W ideal world? Or if that seems
too large an order, what will it
take to improve the world we
have? OF course any little thing
may improve it little. A better
climate where you live; better
laws. a more efficient police force,
better equipment for schools and
more adequate salaries for teach
ers: better trade relations with
ether nations. better government;
all these would probably improve
the world somewhat. But all the
schemes for the Improvement OF
society have struck one rock the
jagged fact Of human nature.

Dulles, in his speech before the Ameri-
can Legion in St. Louis recently. clarified
American aims in the Far East and then
put the Communists on notice that the
United States would probably react to any
new aggression there. Secretary Dulles was
obviously trying to make the intentions of
this Government clear to all concerned
something our State Department has not
always done in recent years.
Secretary Dulles pulled no punches in
telling the Communists that a new attack
In Korea would end the Sanctuary" Of
Manchurlan air and supply bases which the
Communist air force used throughout the
Korean War He also limited that any or
fetal Chinese Communist participation il
the lndo-Chlna fighting would probably
involve China in fighting elsewhere. The
warning includes the possibility of Chi
nesc Nationalist action or Chinese Nation
allst and L. S. action combined

Secretary Dulles was his assertion that;

A Free Press

"EREEDOM OF THE PRESS is some
times mscontrued to mean only the
privilege of the newspaper profession to
publish whatever it wishes, the right to
express its opinion on any subject, espe-
cially the official acts of public bodies, or
to campaign for reforms. The privilege is
granted to the members of the press, but
It is granted only to protect the rights of
the public The press is the agency through
which the happenings in every phase of
community life are collected for the in
formation of the public. Logically, every
rtizen has not the time nor the ability
to cover the news for himself therefore,
the public depends upon the newspaper to
gather this information and present it at
regular intervals The newspaper is simply
an agency of the people, who really pos
sess the freedom set out in the Constitu-
ton.
In the United States the press belongs
to the people, in the majority of nations
throughout the world the press belongs to
and is operated by the governments. The
majority of nations in the world today is
in the dark, some behind an Iron Curtain,
because they know nothing except what
their governments will allow to be pub
lished. In every case, tyranny has resulted.

The secret in way is simple.
but it seems so simple that many
persons miss it, How is a man

do to be born again? The truth is
Nothing. The secret is: God in the
heart What do you do to make
your home bright? You just pull
up the shades. What do you do to
have Gods Spirit in your heart?
Ask him. Open the door.
You do not have to create the
sun, it is out there ready to come
in. You can keep it out if you in
sist but you never have to coax
it; you can't pay it to come in.
Just raise the shades and in it
pours. But just as there is substi-
tute for sunshine there is no sub
stitute for God. You. Without God,

world. You, with God, you,
changed by Him, are part Of God S

Cumming for rockfish, which
