n NE of the most remarkable phe-
- n0mena in the news business to-
day-the mushroom growth of the
small weekly community newspaper
can be observed easily in the Washing
on area. Across the country, these
publications which specialize in news
of the town council, the PTA benefit,
the grocery store fire and gossip about
the neighbors, number about 5000 and
their combined circulation has swelIed
by million readers year since 1855.
Around Washington there are 80 such
papers, most of them launched in the
past decade.
The community newspapers in the
Washington area vary greatly in out
look, intention, production and ap-
pearance. Some of them are started on
nothing but ambition. Most cost their
publishers hundreds Of dollars every
week for months before they 60 into the
black Many, of course, don't make it
and have to fold. But the most surpris-
ing thing is the fascination community
journalism holds for so many people.
Every community in this area is COW
cred by at least one newspaper, and
there always seem to be prospective
publishers examining the possibilities
Of opening another
A look at few examples will show
how different some Of the papers are:
One Of the biggest and most sue
cessful community newspapers in the
area is The Suburban Record. John r.
Steelman, former adviser to President
Truman, bought the Record eight
years ago from the estate of the former
owner, who had been interested in
politics and had run the papers, with
almost no paid circulation, as a tax
loss. The Record consisted of three
papers then, one each in Silver Spring,
Bethesda and Rockville. Mr.. Steelman
added fourth, in Wheaton, and then
combined them. He took a loss Of
$4,000 before the paper went in the
black, but 1t now has paid circulation
OF $4,000 and this year won first prize
from the Maryland Delaware Press

Association for excellence in weekly
newspapers.
The Record usually runs from 10 to
16 pages. It includes a society page, a
sports page, business page and an
editorial page with columns on foreign
and national affairs as well as county
news and contributions from local pO-
litical leaders. Mr.. Steelman himself
writes column which appears on the
front page.
About once week somebody tries
to buy my paper" Mr.. SteeIman says.
cts worth 10000, but l tell them it
will cost twice that to buy it, and l
advise them not to do it. l add that it
will cost them lot more if they set up
a paper of their own in opposition to
mine"
In Fairfax County, the Vienna Vir-
ginian, the Fairfax City Times and the
Dulles-HerndOn Virginian, all under
one ownership, represent the possible
beginnings Of a weekly newspaper en-
pire. Though less than two years old,
they already have outstripped the es-
tablished Sun-Echo papers in paid cir
culation. The three publisher-owners
believe the key to success Of a weekly
community newspaper is sticking to
local interests. When papers circula-
ton goes above 5000, they say, its
scope becomes too broad and its effec-
tiveness is diSsipated.
In its first edition, the Vienna Vir-
ginian declared: The Virginian has
found a home. From now on, ii will
find work and fun, and carve out its
own place in the sun, here in Vienna.
II will pass the time of day with the
townspeople, recount their joys and
triumphs and mourn their leave-tak-
ings. II will help to sell their wares,
and it will try very hard to help them
make the town good place in which to
live"
The three sister papers, trying
hard to be part Of the communities
to which they belong, take strong posi-
tons on local issues. The Vienna Vir-
ginian recently led off with long and
detailed story on the action Of the local

7 was told to cone back to St. Mary's
Hospital after Christmas for my second
operation. So I signed my name again
for second operation. "Poor me-" L
went back to ST. Mary's again, and they
ooerated or butchered me again on the
same side, the right side of my chest.
Now T IN glad I came back to Oshrin Hos
pital for he second time alive from my
second operation. This time I think the
doctors took out everyt hing they wanted,
so that it will not bother me any more.
I'm glad I came back to where I stayed
before, because Oshrin is like home TO
me. Tt has good food, clean beds, and
they treat me fine. But I hope l Will
be discharged soon.
ALL the different tribes Of Indian
here are friendly. Some are intelligent, ,
some are kind, nice and good to talk TO,
but feel sorry for those who don't
speak English, especially the Navajos.
It's good to know and get acquainted
with the newcomers. So far as I know,
there are ten different tribes here az
Oshrin. It's good to listen to some ci
them speak in their language.
Now think I might as we'll stay
here and get we'll and be on my way in
the future. I'm not rushing to go home
to Bylas until my doctor releases me
and gives me a discharge. Will remain
here and rest my lungs, even more since
nv second operation, until the day When
I get out from this shut-in.
Thank you.

HOW I GOT TO OSHRIN HOSPI TAI
By Oreley Hahn

uGreetings from Oshrin Hospital"
In the year 1860, on Friday evening,
Oct. 28, came to this hospital, Oshrin
Hospital in Tucson. 1 came in from San
Carlos Hospital where I was a patient
for two weeks.
I was at Bylas before this, so all
you By1as residents know me. I spent
all my dear life at good old Bylas, be-
cause Bylas is my birthplace, where my
beloved father and mother, sister and
brothers brave died. So like Bylas
even hough there are no trees, even if
it's dusty. was at Bylas when the
doctor found out that I had this dreadful
sickness called tuberculosis There s
one person have to thank, my aunt.
It's a good thing she went to the clinic
and reported on me. After that man
that worked at the clinic came after me,
the doctor X-rayed me, and afterWard
the doctor said to me, IT IN afraid you
may have tuberculosis or pneumonia.
He told me I would go to San Carlos
Hospital where they would find out for
sure whether I had either one of these
sic6nesses.
An Int ern who works at the clinic
took me to San Carlos Hospital, and
after two weeks there they took me to

Oehrin Hospital, hospital for males
Of all kinds of Indian tribes. Before
7 left San Carlos Hospital, 1 was told
I might go to Tucson for as little as
three to six months. The doctor told
ne I had T.B. At that time didn't
know what T.B. is. Here at Oshrin
Hospital, this sickness still makes me
shut-in. 7 didn't know that T.B. is
this bad. ALL the nurses and doctors
are treating me just fine since came
here. have never quarreled or argued
with the nurses or tors or any of
staff. I don't mean I'm a chicken or
q loud mouth to speak to them, but
Just obey all the rules, and don't
mean I'm nurses pet.
7 stayed here at Oshrin for over
two years, and it was about time for
them to give surgery. Last December
before Chri stmas the doctors ordered
tne nurses to have me sign my name FOR
NY operation. They decided to have the
operation in two stages instead Of one.
SO before Christmas they took me to St.
Mary's Hospital, where the patients
from Oshrin have their surgery.
stayed at this hospital for a week, and
they operated on the right side Of my
chest. Then they took me back to Oshrin
