My next door neighbor stopped In
yesterday. lull of foreboding. She
had talked to somebody else who'd
recently been in Washington. You ;
can geuss the kind of things she said
as soon as she got in the door ? that
we were bungling our war effort- -
that people in Washington were con
fused and inefficient ? that men
were playing politics "as usual"- -and
finally, that she was ashamed of the
country and couldn't see for tlhe life
of her how we were going to win the
war!
I invited her to take off her hat
and relax while I made some tea and
got out some of the honey cookies
I've just learned to make.
"Now look here. Jane." Isaid after
she'd sipped some of the l/??. nr~ fec-J
Ran to calm down. "No matter what
anybody tells you. yju've no business
to go around spreading gloom. Some
tilings may be a mess in Washington.
The:' probably are in all the capitals
of the world, only we don't hear
about others.
"Bui that isn't the whole story by
a good deal. And while you've been
hearing things. I've been reading
things in the newspapers ? good, en
couraging things, that make me
proud ol this country and confident
that we'll come through this war
with colors flying. You know, a
newspaper man who's been all over
the world and covered everything
from garden club exhibits to mur
ders and wars isn't one to rave."
Jane nodded her agreement.
And when one of these hard
boiled. clear-sighted men vrltcs en
thusiastically about a thing, it means
something, doesn't it?"
Jane nodded again.
"Well, nowadays, a lot of them are
raving. They're throwing their hats
in the air and simply letting them
selves go in stories that send thrills
up your spine the way a good, loud
parade band does. We've always had
a genius for mass production. We
started it, and we've always done it
better than any other nation ? the
efficient Germans included. Today
American industry has taken all of
this 'know how' an dexperience and
put it to work for Uncle Sam. Ap
parently the results are something
to marvel at. Listen to this, for in
sttance." I said, and then read her
just one paragraph from a recent
story written by a famous columnist
after visiting a huge Detroit plant
that is making the machines of war.
Speaking of a visitor to the plant,
he says:
" 'Once he has entered the colossal
structure he is suffused with the
feeling that American industry will
triumph over every obstacle that has

I l.:c other day PAP got to thinklns
| about the Fourth Estate. All at on-j
I lie woke up ind wondered1
| Whv Fourth EJ-'ate?
Ar.d so- being au individual ot
i s:ieat intellectual curiosity, he look
' the thing up.
I
In feudal Europe three estates
j ruled the people. These estates made
up the government. They were: tht
nobles .the clergy, and the common
ers. Finally, the press itself berime
! so powerful that it was considered s
Fourth Estate.
| Thomas Babington. Lord Macau
lay, is credited with the remuk:
"The gallery in which the reporters
, sit has become a fourth estate of the
realm.'
In our own country today the
three agencies of greatest influence
may (what do you think?) be: the
: church. If so, the Press would seem
! to remain the Fourth Estate.
Just how important is the Press:
At the close of 1940 there were
199B daily newspapers in the United
States wit ha circulation of 40,772.
937. The combined total of dailies,
weekles .semi-weeklies, bi-weeklies,
and tri-weklies was 13,206. In other
words, what we call the "weekly
press" included some 11,000 newspa
pers with -a probable total circulation
of 20.000,000. Some authorities give
higher figures.
The 1940 population of the United
States is 131,669,275, with an average
family of 3.8 persons .or around 34,
000.000 families. In other words
again, there are 1.2 dailies for every
family in the United States and
nearly two-thirds of a weekly.
The hometown paper enters most
of the homes. It furnishes not only
news, but "food for thought."
More than 200,000,000 board feet
of insulating materials will be need
ed this year for the cold-storage
plants of military cantonments,
packing plants, creameries, Ice
cream plants an dcommerclal refrlg
ators.
