IN MEM ORIAM

In loving memory of our dear
mother, ElVa T. Gross on her 10th
birthday, October 21, and who de-
parted this life December 8, 1851
What is a home without a
mother,
Never, never more the same.
There's no name so sweet as
mother,
How we loved to call her name.
Though you are in Gods heaven,
mother,
Still our hearts are filled with
pain;
For we will never find another
Like you in this world again.
Sadly missed by daughters, Mary.
Evelyn, Nettie and granddaughter

Editor: Your editorial comment
that one cannot travel by rail on
credit cards was essentially cor
rect, and the comment Of your
friend who uses a rail travel
card" is slightly misleading.
You can't travel by rail on an
American Express credit card or
on any Of the other established
credit cards. There is, to be sure,
the rail travel card to which your
column referred in the August 8
issue, but how far you might tray
el on 1t Is a question. I used the
rail travel card some years ago.
It was honored rather grudgtngly
by a few roads, and the number
diminished month by month until
it was hardly worth while. You
were always likely to be embar-
rassed by a road that did not
honor them. If they have got to-
gether now on a universally ac-
cepted rail card, that's fine. But
they still don't honor other credit
cards, and they are at least 10
years too late on their own, If any.

Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-09-26

ministrations of recent years, both Republican and
Democratic
1t is disturbing to see 50 many editors confuse
the freedom of press handouts with freedom Of the
press. press release handout, whether issued by
department head or by the governor, by the
party chairman, contains what the issuer wants US
to know. This Is useful and we grateful for It,
but very often the important news is what the de-
partment the governor the party chairman
does not want TO know. That Is where the re-
porters job starts, but too many reporters and too
many editors seem TO think that Is where it ends
Some of the editorial comment on the Rolvaag
order was downright disoya and detrimental to the
press. For example, editor commented about the
grievoss things that would happen when public
officials can keep the pubic from learning the
facts" Such state of affairs has not happened
win not happen, and-as all news gatherers know
who gather (not handouts) at the Capitol
know-cannot happen as long reporters do their
job.
