ly a stroke of luck, he had long
realized but as the Americans
like to say, "One must take ad
vantage of their opportunities."
With eagerness, he launched
into his explanation.
"Comrades, realizing the
many weighty matters before
you, I will be brief. The United
States is a country of 48 states
which are held together In a
Union by a federal system of
government. Therein lies a
great deal of their strength.
One of the bulwarks of this
government is a system of
courts which interpret the laws
written by their Congress."
"Yes, yes; we know all of
this", broke in Joseph.
? "Please! one more moment of
your indulgence, I beg," ex
claimed Ivan.
"At the head of this system
of courts is the Supreme Court.
It is one of the strongest bonds
that holds the Union of states
together.
"Now in a quarrel concerning
the granting of equal civil
rights to minority groups, a
;;roup of states wish to say
that they will not abide by the
decision of the Supreme Court
which said that this they must
RETURN MARKETING CARD
The A. S. C. office in Frank

return their 1955 burley tobac

Miss Mildred Corbin, office

reduction of allotments for the
coming year. January 31 is the
closing date for applications for
new allotments.

"Good! Good!" several of the

Soon Ivan left the room as

Newspapering
Continued From Editorial Pare
a pitifully perishable commod
ity, the evanescent snowflake on
the surging river. In Its physical
self, It is merely several pages j
of cheap paper with some mis
cellaneous stuff printed on It. Is
there any moral in the fact that
newsprint cannot be exposed
long to sunlight without be
coming yellow and brittle?
This Issue of the newspaper
isn't consumed as bread fc eat
'en. It doesn't render continuing
service as does the refrigerator
advertised in its columns. It
doesn't enter durably Into the
structure of a building as does
steel or cement. It never
achieves the immortality of
noble literature.
Once read ,the individual Is
sue is as useless as last year's
bird nest and is cast away in
virtually the same condition in
which It was originally issued.
Sometimes, this melancholic
fate overtakes it before It is
even read for no one can com
pel a subscriber to read the
newspaper he has bought.
It is a dated commodity. Time
is its cruel master. Born today
it must be read today for It
dies today, going to that Val
halla reserved for deceased is
sues, the garbage can. The bas
ic raw material which enters
into its fabrication can not be
bought in large quantities and
stored in warehouses or refrig
erators against a more favor
able day when it will be used.
It can not be purchased when
it is cheap and sold when it is
dear, it withers with the fleet
ing clay that gives it birth.
Although mass production
methods are necessary to the
production of the modern news
paper, it is never standardized,
never custom-made. Each issue
is hand-tailored. Today's news
paper is unlike yesterday's
newspaper. It will be unlike to
morrow's issue. Mercifully
enough, heaven alone knows
what next Saturday's paper will
be in content or context.
The publisher does not create
the news which he sells. Petty
and powedful public officials,
murderers, radiant brides, care
less motorists, wise men and
fools, rioting mobs in distant'
lands, the total unfolding trag- I
edy and comedy of the <}ay 1
make the news. He never kn6ws I
at the beginning of the day

He merely takes it as it comes,

days it is bountiful, other days

A story which might rate front

important news into the remote
recesses of the paper or into
the gluttonous wastebasket
Tn add to the perversity of
the task, publishers differ from
each other in their concepts of
printable news. If the publish
er is of a sensational bent of
mind, his paper plays up mur
ders. sex offeases and the other
, crimes altogether too plentiful
j in this world of sin and virtue,
i If he is conservative in his esti
mate of news value, crime is
not accented with headlines and
j airblown stories.
Every issue is an end in itself,
j a chapter that is soon told and
I forgotten, unlike the one that
went before the one that crowds
remorselessly on its heels as the
sun moves orderly and without
( any respect for publishers
j through the heavens and across
the globe.
Vast labor goes into the pro
duction of the issue. Many men
and women ? folks filled to
their throatlatches with imper
fections ? of many skills and
talents have had a hand in its
creation. But it Is born to die:
the truth is that death sets in
the moment it comes from the
] press. The task is to place it in
the hands of the reader before
life has completely left its
ephemeral body.
For die it will. Perhaps an
editorial lingers in the memory
of some gentle reader Perhaps
a few clippings - mostlv ac
counts of weddings and deaths

j folks. But the issue itself ex

pastures, if It Is afflicted with
labor troubles. It can not mi

climate as can the compara
tively footloose textile mill. More
sobering still, it can not be more
prosperous than Its community
or better than Its readers and
advertisers want It to be. It is
the captive of its conim unity,
the prisoner of a geographical
Alcatraz.
Although it is a highly In
dividualistic enterprise. It is the
end result of perhaps the most
striking exhibition of coopera
tive effort which the world
knows. Literally, thousands of
unknown but pitiable fallible
reporters scattered throughout '
the world gather the news
which enters each year into Its |
perishable texture.
The newspaper is the only j
business which assembles and ;
pays for vastly more raw mate- :
rial than it uses. Any other in- I
dustry would go broke if It dis- :
carded so much raw material.
Conversely, the newspaper;
would become bankrupt if it
undertbok to utilize all the raw
material which overwhelms it
in the hurried course of each
day.
The human element ? a frail :
and untrustworthy thing, at
best ? is all controlling in de
termining which raw material \
will be consumed. The value of i
news cannot be measured with I
scales or calipers or test tubes ]
or miscroscopes. Somewhere in
the editorial hierarchy, an in
dividual must decide in the
twinkling of a chilly eye that
the material Is usable. His judg
ment is, of course, not a rea
soned judgment. It is just a
hasty trained guess and in
making this guess, he must
keep in mind the average read
er ? a guy whom he hasn't |
met and who really exists only ;
in editorial imaginings. Change I
the person who makes the se- !
lection and often as not you '
change the decision.
But the newspaper is an en- j
terprise set apart from all oth- ;
er industries in the liberties
which it commands. It enjoys
a special immunity from gov
ernmental interference under
the provisions of federal and
state constitutions. If it is
minded to do so ? which few
publishers are ? It can sell a
tainted product, slanted news
without being subject to pure
food laws.
The newspaper enjoys other
privileges, preferences, immun
ities, rights and licenses. It can
gossip shamelessly without in
viting the disrepute of the com
mon gossip who whispers things
of ill report. It can invade the
privacy of the Individual with
out being shunned in polite so
cent uuiIimHi or mBitiitf) bo
brought to took to a ooort of
law. It can scold inMslsasfy to
1U editorial without being ac
cepted altogether m a cur
mudgeon. The moraine do?
paper editor can do what onto
a shrew does: be can aooid at
the breakfast table. It can mn
denounce conunerdallaed college
athletics In torrid editorials and
then foster it blandly in its
spacious sports pages.
Yes, newspapering is a funny
1 business. It is filled to overflow
ing with contradictions and
curiosities, with unabashed hu
man frailty and human nobil
ity. Its vast unselfishness is al
ways at civil war with its mor
tal selfishness and only the in
dividual issue reveals how the
battle has gone. Newspaper his
tory records many Appomatoxes
for unselfishness.
For all that, it Is a great
game ? the greatest In the
world. It Is no business for
mere mortals of faint hearts,
weak digestive capacities, and
limited visions. It is no business
for the person who cannot look
beyond the earthy figures of a
favorable balance sheet to a ;
great democratic people strug
gling toward a freer, a happier
and a more prosperous piviliza
tion.
