Greenwood Is Newspaper Week Speaker Gordon Greenwood earned 1he ball at the local Kiwanis Club meeting of October 13. He was introduced as the edi tor and publisher of the lead ing newspaper in Biack Moun tain. It was indeed fitting for him to be the speaker as it was National Newspaper Week. Mr. Greenwood obtained his first $14. a week newspaper jog by simply stating that he could do anything. It was noticed at the Khvanis meet ing that he still had press room ink on his hands. It was there fore concluded that he is not only a man who has done about everything in the newspaper field but still likes to “keep his hands in” and progress with the times. He described the various departments in his organizat ion noting that each is indep endent and in actual competit ion with the others. Although he has worked with a large daily newspaper, he much pre fers a smaller weekly paper. A large city daily must give full coverage in detail of lo cal, state, national and inter national news events. Its edi torials are often at odds with front page articles. He stated that newspapers, thru news articles and advertising pro mote community business, help the public to form opinions in important political and civic affairs. The !'! ck Mountain News is one of a few papers without .,,, editorial page. Mr. Green wood feels that too many pub lishers use the editorial page to critize published news artic les. Rathe" than reflecting the influence of one man thru an editoiial, Mr. Greenwood s nntier carefully and fairly sel ects news of real local inter est. This permits the people „f the community to decide what they want. He encour g all that is good for his community.

This is an important part of our court system of justice in the county and state.” Bill Moore, solicitor of the Ceneral County Court, told members of the Black Mountain Lions Club and their guests at the Monte Vista last Thursday. “The system of courts which will go into effect in Buncombe County in 1970 will set up new courts in three fields: criminal, civil, and domestic relations. “But even with the new courts the problem of over loaded dockets in our courts will not be solved. The recent ruling by the TJ. S. Supreme Court means that we will have many more cases and that they will be harder to try.” Mr. Moore, who is the Demo cratic candidate for solicitor of the 19th Judicial District, which includes Buncombe and Madison counties, told the group. “There are now at least 800 cases waiting to be tried in the Buncombe County Sup erior Court. When you con sider that one case tried last summer required at least two weeks, you have some idea of the problem involved,” the speaker said. .Yii. Moore pointed out that it was the duty of each citizen to serve on the jury when cal led upon in order that the def endant would be assured of a fair trial. President Jim Maddox pre sided.
