Taken For Granted

NEWSPAPERS like many other public
~ services are taken for granted too
often. Their contribution and value to
everyday life is realized by their suspen-
sion. Newspapers in New York have
not been published for several weeks
because of printers strike.
What do people here in the nations
largest city do without their newspa-
pers?' poses the Wall Street Journal
Answering its question the Journal
stated among other things, they buy
less, land fewer jobs, rent fewer apart
ments, attend fewer funerals and cut
theatre going"
Newspapers play major part in the
life of any community and those of
national circulation affect the life of
the IA on. Mass communication
through the printed ward will remain
the basic medium of information and
effective education.
