Newspapers have a job to do
In building a sound public
opinion that is essential if the
United States is going to fill its
role in the world, Lester Markell,
Sunday editor of the New York
Times. told the Women'S Ma
tional Press Club yesterday.
At the same time. Mr.. Markell
complained that the Nations
newspapers are moving increas-
1ngly toward entertaining people
rather than giving them the
news
Noting that the trend is
causing the dailies to lose buSi-
ness to the weekly news maya
zines. Mr.. Markell declared: 1T
is shocking situation, one
which the publishers will have
to recognize sooner or later"
The speaker asserted there
must be more interpretive re-
porting. and that the confusion
Of some editors who consider
Interpretation synonymous with
editorial opinion must be over
come.
He also criticized the "irre-
sponsibility' of newspapers in
cases where "unsubStantiated
charges will be printed on Page
/. and the rebuttal to those
same charges a few days later
will be buried on Page 90"
If we're responsible for in
flating Mccarthy. we're respon-
sible for debating him, and not
in an editorial or opiniated way
either" he declared.
MIR. Markell noted that COW
erage of the news has become
increasingly complex and said
in Washington particularly
there seems to be brass cur
tain that makes news gathering
very difficult"
2 The editor. who was one of
the founders of the Interna-
tional Press Institute of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors, expressed the opinion
that an improved flow of world
news" could bring about better
understanding between nations.
1T can't be done by the Voice
OF America" he declared. You
have to reach people at the mass
level"
Mr.. Markell spoke at a club
luncheon held at the Dodge
Hotel.

Eight Year
Headache Erased

A farm hand, Robert Nc
clelland, had been complain
ing of severe headaches for
several years. Finally, his
doctors decided to operate.
When they did, they found
out that the cause of his
pain was a two and a half
inch blade, embedded in his
S kull. 1t was pressing
against the optic nerves. The
very delicate operation,
where a slip would probably
have resulted in McClel-
lands death, was performed
and the blade removed. Nc
Clelland recalls having had
a fight about 8 years ago in
Arkansas, but knew nothing

Garden Hints

by Mrs. Carrie Galloway
| Under the snow of each De-
cember
Lie buds of next years May,
remember;
Under the snow lies next
years flowers
And always ahead lie happy
hours.
At this time of the year
all of the cultural work for
the season seems over. All
bulbs and corns are safely
s tored where they will
neither mold or dry out.
Sift a coat of manure over
Lilly of the Valley by the
latter part of December. The
ground should now be frozen
hard enough to place old ma
nure between the hills. All
tree and shrub trimming
should be done now, but be
careful about pruning shrub
berry. j.. Don't prime severity
or you will lose your spring
bloom. Prune fruit trees
this month.
Why not have a Christmas
tree for the birds-trim the
branches with dried fruit,
suet in pine cones, and as a
special treat, tie on some
packages of bird treat so
loved by canaries. Feeding
the winter birds is interest
ing and useful. Don't start
if you don't intend to keep
it up because they learn to
depend on your feeding and
are lost when you stop. Be
sure to keep water in pan
to be brought in and thawed
becaust this is one of their
chief needs when everything
is frozen. A supply of sun
flower seed, hemp and mil
let seed, plus your table
scraps, will take care of the
food matter very nicely.
Poison Ivy is best handled
this month. The oil which
causes the skin irritation is
nearly absent now. If you
are susceptible be sure to
wear gloves and wash your
hands with brown soap after
handling. Sulphuric Acid
or Copper Sulphate is strong
solution. Poured upon the
crown, it will kill the roots.
Loosen the soil slightly when
it is not frozen and pour the
poison on.
This writing closes the
column of Garden Hints for
1854. To all, I wish a very
Merry Christmas and a Hap
by and Prosperous New
Year. But remember, there
is no limit to progress when
Garden Club Members work
together.
