story. :
---..

Mrs. Lsurette C. Hupman was
disturbed and moro than q
little worried.
For over an hour she had
been trying to call her sister
in East Alstead, New Hamp-
shire, on an urgent matter.
But her only answer was q
repeated busy signal.
Then she explained her
problem to Miss Bertha Len
hardt, a C & P Operator.
Miss Lenhardt checked i'm.
mediately and found the call
couldn't get through because
the receiver had been left off
the phone.
Working through the Tele-
phone Company toll station
serving East Alstead, she began
a systematic search for nearby
telephones, trying to locate
someone who could notify Mrs.
Hupman's sister that an i'm.
pOrtant call was waiting.
1t took more than 10 calls,
but her persistent sleuthing
finally paid off. And a vastly
relieved Mrs. Hupman got her
call through.

Newspaper-People Affinity

The fullest, the most dramatic, the
most conclusive evidence that newspa-
pers are really crucial to the lives of
most Americans-and, indeed, to their
very way of life-is what happened in
New York, Minneapolis and Cleveland
when newspapers strikes left these cit
les newspaper-lesS for months
Something very meaningful something
taken for granted when it was present
but greatly priced when, abruptly, it was
absent, went out of the lives of millions
of people in these communities when
there were no newspapers.
l believe the reason is that while the
printed word can be supplemented by
other media, it cannot be replaced as the
most reliable, the most accessible, the
most meaty and the most satisfying
source of information and insight in this
very anxious world.
During the long strikes the newspa-
per was grievously missed-and nothing
was able to take its place.
That is what mean when I say there
is special affinity between newspapers
between the printed word-and peo-
pie.
Nothing could take their place and il
is our duty to make newspapers continu-
ously better so that nothing can take
their place.
The Sidney herald., 1963-10-16
BY Roscoe Drummond

More Americans are reading newspa-
pers more thoroughly than ever before.
There must be a reason.
Despite the decline in the total num-
Der of newspapers, total newspaper cir
culation in the United States today is at
an all-time high.
There must be reason.
The reason must have something to
do with newspapers-and people.
There is a special affinity between
them, between newspapers and people.
People must feel a great identity of
interest with their own newspapers.
One of the reasons may well be that the
printed word requires more of its read
ers than any other media Readers get
more out of newspapers because they
put more of themselves-more of their
own thinking-into their newspapers.
1 do not speak disparagingly of other
news media; quite the opposite. think
that radio and television reporting is
tremendous boon to our democracy.
Radio and television reporting greatly
expands the surface of public know
ledge.
In my judgement most newspapers
greatly expand the depth of public know
ledge.

Man and the Machine

Management cannot ignore the prob
lem and try to sweep it under the rug.
Labor unions cannot hold tenaciously to
ways of doing things that science is max
ing obsolete. And government can't fol
low the always-futile path of passing
more laws and imposing new and stultify-
ing regulations on the economic life of
the nation.
The material benefits that can stem
from automation, using the word in the
broadest sense, seem to be practically
limitless. We, like the rest of the world,
want and need them. And, at the same
time, we must remember that the ma
chine must remain the servant, not the
master, of man.

Dictator Diem

The latest clear act of dictatorship in
South Vietnam, where American boys
are being asked to die fighting for the
regime, is the imposition of martial law
by the dictator, Ngo Diem.
In addition, the dictator has sent troops
into the religious places of worship of
the Buddhists, arrested over one hundred
monks and, in general, suppressed the
freedoms that Americans have tradition
ally stood for.
This latest act was such a blatant to-
talitarian move that Washington immed-
lately denounced it.
Reporters have been saying for a year
now that the war against the Commu-
nists is being compromised, and might
even be lost, because of the lack of toll
erance being shown the Buddhists.
Yet year has passed and u S. soldiers
and fliers and equipment are still at

The article didn't make clear

to show concern in the mornings when
she wakes up and whispers 81 still

ThlS week newspapers large and small
across the nation are celebrating Ma
tional Newspaper Week The staff of the
Sidney Herald had been making special
plans for this important event, however,
they didn't pan out. We had hoped that
our new newspaper press would be in
operation before this, but at this stage
1t is still few days away from oper-
ating. This project, coupled with heavy
work load (thank goodness) has kept us
from doing anything extra special for
National Newspaper Week.
Actually, the improvements made at
the Herald over the past year and those
that are being made now would be op-
perfume for National Newspaper Week
mention. However, our entire show is
topsy-turvy and to attempt to do justice
to any promotion on our part would be
shear folly.
We have scheduled a Kiwanis tour
through the plant on Thursday noon to
show the community businessmen the
changes being made in their raw form.
Many persons have shown consider
able interest in the possibility of the
Herald coming out twice a week. We
realize the service this would be to our
readers and advertisers and are going to
give it careful consideration as soon as
we get Bessie" together and operating.

Congressman Jim Battin paid tribute
this week to the newspapers of Montana
and we'd like to pass on some of his re-
marks.
The occasion of National Newspaper
| Week gives me pause to be thankful that
we have some of the best in Montana.
Not only am able to keep informed of
events in even the smallest communities
of the state but I am happy to note that
the editors of most of these newspapers
are vitality concerned with not only the
affairs of their particular communities
and the state but with national and world
affairs as well = and are not afraid to
be editorially critical or complimentary
of those who make the news they report.
The concluding remarks of speech by
The Sidney herald., 1963-10-16

Diem's side, and Americans are giving
their lives from to time in the war in
South Vietnam. In short, we have al
lowed ourselves to become tied to die
tator who does not allow the majority of
his people freedom to practice the faith
of their choice.
Nor are the other traditional demo
cratic freedoms permitted in South Wet
nam.
In this situation the reputation of the
United States is certain to suffer The
Communist cause is certain to be aided
and, in the end, the anti-Diem forces will
win out, since eventually democratic
freedoms will out.
Meanwhile we have fought for a to-
talitarian government, unpopular among
its own people, contrary to all the tradi-
tions of the United States throughout its
history.
The Sidney herald., 1963-10-16

The Presidents proposal that a COM
mission be appointed to study the social
and economic effects of automation has
been generally well received. In the
ranks of industry, government, and the
labor organizations then is concern over
the displacement of men by machines,
and an awareness of the need for posi-
tive action.
The problem is tough one. The goal
is to make full and constructive use of
the amazing technology that is develop
ing, and at the same time to prevent it
from destroying human values. If it is
to be reached, a high degree of states
manShip must be provided by all con-
cerned.

Henry Morgan to a national journalistic
fraternity describes rather well the job
most Montana newspapers are doing.
This is what he said: "You have made it
possible for me to take five cents and
buy, in one package, a new picture of
the president, my horoscope for the day,
fifteen comic strips and the stock mar
ket reports. And I've read some ter
rible things about you. You work for
money. Advertising dictates your policy.
The department stores dictate your edi-
torials Don't you think you'd be hap
pier with some other system? Wouldn't
it be nicer to have bureau of some kind
supervise your work? Then, if the bur-
eau didn't like it, you could adjust or get
killed
"Still in all, it's better than having peo-
pie point at you and say: There's man
who works for money Somehow it's
getting to be very un-American not to
work and live on unemployment insur-
ance It's un-American to have social
security and it's un-American to have
such small amount of social security
strongly suspect this is all your fault.
SIN short, you people in this room have
put me, the average man, in peculiar
position. I now have to make up my
mind for myself AS long as you keep
forcing the man in the street to make up
his mind for himself that's as long as
we'll have the only working definition
of democracy that's worth DA-.

1t seems that the good crops in the
area have brought on more than the
usual amount of contributions. 1t seems
that every time we turn around some
one is asking for check for something
or other. The majority of the causes
are worthy of a donation, however, with
out any type of control it gets out of hand
and we aren't able to keep tab on where
everything is going !. after all, money
is hard to come by these days.
Many communities are currently en-
gagged in a United Fund drive or some
other organized fund campaign. think
a drive of this sort makes sense and
here's my reasoning.
A united campaign can be commun-
ity-wide organization formed to elimin-
ate competing, costly individual cam
paigns and provide, at the same time,
maximum level support for voluntary
health welfare and recreation services.
A united support is far greater than
is possible under the ''go-it-alone" ap-
proach of separate agencies which US
ually results in costly popularity con-
tests competing for funds and volunteers.
1t reduces the annoyance, loss of vol
unteer leadership and ineffectiveness
which results from scattered multiple
campaigns In short, it assures citizens
review of the amounts requested by
health and welfare services and the wise
and efficient use of these ALLEGATIONS.
