WEEK Newspaper editors aren’t par­ ticularly,, addicted to talking about themselves—especially editors of papers in small communities. Aside from an occasional remind­ er when our readers lag too far in their subscription bills, we try to keep ihfthe background, But the week of October 1 to 8 has been designated as National Newspaper Week, when the great­ est metropolitan dailies and small­ est weeklies alike call attention to their services and activities. . To p?any, 'our community paper may' seem insignificant. It has no rotogravure, no far-flung wire Ser­ vices, no private airplanes to carry its reporters to the scone.. Of big stories—one of the expensive and ^'attention-compelling facilities of the big city daily. Because of its small size and scope, however ft can devote all its energies to the home community. If its news, sometimes seems trivial in a world torn by wars and catas- trophies, that’s- the reason. It 'tries to be a home paper. - -----—V--------- Renew Now!
