OF small papers:
Calling the editorial pages of the smaller
newspapers of the nation" the greatest form
of independent free expression in the world"
Sam Taylor writing in the Moab OUtah) In
dependent, on the subject of what Makes
M~in Street Coz" said:
This week throughout the so states some
11000 editors of smaller, daily, weekly and
semiweekly newspapers will lock up their
forms and go to press. Their papers will
carry the only broadly circulated written rec
ord of the people and events, the problems
and opinions that shape our lives in the COM
munity, the state and the nation. Their edi-
torial pages provide the greatest forum of
independent free expression in the world. The
value of this in a country where majority
opinion will decide public policies with which
we ali must live cannot be over-estimated
"On the pages of these thousands of pa
pers will run the advertising that gives the
spark to the enigma of private enterprise. Our
tremendous transportation and retailing sys-
TENS, capable of moving and displaying all
the nations wares, would be of little use
unless people knew what problems were avail
able, at what cost, where they could be pur-
chased, and in addition, were inspired with
the desire to buy
advertising makes Main Street go in
every city, town and village throughout the
30 states. The head of every family knows
that the only way to find the right price
for the quality merchandise desired is to COM
pare the advertisements, whether the problem
is making out the weeks grocery list, buying
new house or trading in the old car
advertising supports the radio and tele-
vision programs, the magazines and periodi-
Gals which provide information news and en-
tertainment, and it makes independent news
papers possible There would be no free press
were it not for advertising by the merchants
who support the press but do not control it,"
THERE IS A really good eating place in
Comus- too far from the new Atomic
Energy Commission building. And what
makes this Comus Inn owned and operated
by Dorothy Spates.
One of the delightful things about this
old Inn is the view from the windows. You
see nothing but the finest of Maryland coun-
tryside. Furthermore, the place is decorated
in good taste And Importantly, the food is
good and served nicely.
The Comus Inn is an ideal spot for
group of ladies to go and have luncheon and
linger on for few games of bridge. 1t is
also an excellent place to eat during a drive
in the country.
Carol Harding, daughter Sue and son
Gene are up from Florida visiting the county
for the first time in years. They have had
picnic just wandering about the county dis
covering new places to shop. And Mrs. Hard
ing can't get over the wide selection offered
in the stores in the county. It's nothing like
she remembers when the choice of an item
narrowed to about three or two, or even one.
Their hosts for week, the Harry Marrows
of Ashton and Mrs. Harding of Sandy Surfing,
are discovering a few new places, too. And
although they take the great commercial
growth of the county for granted since they
have lived here always they are pretty proud
of Montgomery County, too.
Wonder If Bob Bernstein is going to At
lantic City this year to see the finals in the
Miss America contest? There should be great
er interest now that Miss Maryland is from
Montgomery County. And Pat Moon could
very well be the new Miss America. The
nearest county girl has come to the title is
the year Mango Lucy from Silver Spring was
Miss Washington. She was runnerup.
If you want one of the best country
chicken and ham dinners that is served all
year, be sure and go to the Sherwood School
next Tuesday evening for the Montgomery
General Hospital Supper. It's the event of the
year for this type of thing
