Newspapers Produce Light And
Information* Their Absence
Results In Darkness.
Coirect information is invaluable to a free people and for keep
ing a free people, free. -
Few other nations of the world are as fortunate as the United
States, which, through the wisdom of their forefathers, is le
gatee of a heritage of freedom of speech, of assembly, of re
ligious worship, and of the press.
Maintaining of these freedoms has not always been easy, but
they have nevertheless been maintained through the years.
A free press is the cornerstone of the others. Without the disse-
I
mination of the news—factual information gathered by train
ed professional newsmen — the other freedoms would soon be
abrogated in practice, if not in the text of the United States
