I Freedom of the Press exists in a democracy, not for the power or profit or pleasure of any individual, hut for the common good. The right of the people to know ran , not Ik* denied or diminished without endangering democracy itself. Tt is the obligation of the press to provide accurate, timely and com plete information about all develop- I meats which affect the people’s political, economic or social well being. Given the facts, the people usually. reach Wise decisions. II The Trusteeship of a Free Press is the final responsibility of the publisher. He may share it, hut he cannot escape it. The good pub lisher provides the necessary mon ey and space for adequate ago. of tlie essential news and em ploys personnel of intergrity, abili- , ty and sound judgment. He exalts accuracy above every other consid eration, ami insists upon prompt, full and even generous correct ion when errors occur. 111 Every Citizen Deserves the Stim ulus of a strong editorial page, on which the editor voices his own ' well-informed opinion, clearly and forcefully; yet willingly provides space for contrary opinion. The good editor often takes sides, but • without arrogance or intolerance, j 1 He champions boldly the rights of I % -- w*" v'.-"7 * W T*J| GAP.DEN TIME f£m /-'• I ROBERT SCHMIDT j NX. STATE COLLm . Gardeners in eastern and pied mont North Carolina should lie) thinking about planting their early j Irish potatoes. The land should lie prepared as soon as possible but planting may he delayed until in March without any loss of earli ness. Do not plant potatoes in poorly drained areas or the seed pieces may rot in the ground. The Irish potato requires heavy fertili zation as well as good soil. At least one to 1 '-i gallons of a (i-8-(i or 8-8-8 fertilizer mixture should he used per 100 ft. of row thor oughly mixed in the row soil'about, a week before planting time. Com mercial growers usually plant by machine which also puts down the fertilizer in bands on each side id'! . the seed piece so that there is no contact of seed piece and fertilizer. However, in the home garden pota toes are usually planted;.by. band J o. ■ / vt/micjhfc II s 2l° I ammk QEO. A.

IV The Primary I Yuicuon of a News- j paper is to report' news. The good reporter strives constantly to find! and wilte the truth. This task, mil matter how difficult, is his unes-i capable responsibility. To Be True, a story, togetlu i with its headlines, must lie honest. To Ik- honest, it must he fair. To I lie fair, it must lie accurate and complete. Honesty Demands . Objectivity.. the submergence of prejudice and personal conviction. Fairness de- 1 mauds regard for the rights of oth | ers. Aei-urracy demands courage ! painstaking care, and perspective to assure a total picture as true ak its individual facts, V The Final Test of Every Story every headline, every editorial, ev ery n i >wspa pot- is : IS IT HONEST?
