FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
The President's recently expressed
assui'unce of the freedom of the
press from official censorship offers
an encouraging contrast with the
nrethods in vogue abroad. The rigid
control of the sources, avenue* and
casting of news is no new thing in
the totalitaria realms. Military necessities
wield considerable Influence
elsewhere. But in Spain it reaches
farther when, following italy'sex
ample, no citizen is allowed to hold
any executive position with foreign
news agencies within the country,
in order to hold them to ''the ideat
of exclusive service to their country."
In Japan the censorshio has
been extended_to the realm of books
which are to be examined by s an
"official committee" to determine
whether they are "needed for the
country's welfare" However, books
on "law. religion, politics and diplomacy
ore to be allowed entrance to
Japan if they pass the censors Recently
(March 15) the Princeton
University Library displayed an extensive
list of books banned in the
subjugated lands of Kurope, especially
those dealing with the history
of democratic countries, civics, geography.
politics, and any iiooks writ
ten by .Jews. Roman Catholics. or j
refugees. A lifting of Germany's baa ,
on l/Ottre's biography of Petain now
allows its sale in Vichy. France. In
the meantime there are no restriotions
whatever in our land on the
sale of books advocating ' jiny doo-.
trine or ism. political or otherwise

Dot and "Scpoty" Etheridge had tv
a very loud clfmax at their beautl- \<
ful wedding Monday evening. Just lh
as the bride and grPom were leav- ru
' jng the .Church, the fire siren, a
* across the . street peeled forth with pc
loud blasts, announcing another Mr. in
and Mrs. and a fire. Several at the lr
wedding thought the sounding of m
/ the alarpi had been orc-arrangea by ici
* friends of the couple as'-oart of the 'tli
> joyous occasion, but there really nc,
was a fire that just happened at the hi

f the couple with a "single tnouciht," pc
| And now Dot and Scocly can tell i ji
th^ir friends even the Fire Depart- i-r

Speaking about the 'fire, "W. K.

Mrs. Arthur Hay stopped in the
office Tuesday morning to insert'an
ad to locate a parasol she hsid lost.
She told me about the time she lost
a gold pin and found it thru a Herald
ad back In the days when Q. G.
Page was editor. She said she lost
the pin during a horse and buggy
ride on the old Llnwood Road (4
guess Mr. Arthur was the driver)
but anyway she found the pin, and
I trutly hope she finds her parasol
which was a Christmas gift.

more difl'cult, and Holger could,
not seem to find a common ground
with him. Eric disapproved of hlsl

the consequent neglect of hisfamily.
He had. too, a secret little)
feeling of inferiority because Holfrcr

finer. He was hurt because Ana.
