THE PRESS AND LOCAL HISTORY (Wetaskawin Times) Few .people, as ,they read weekly newspaper realize that are reading perhaps the only temporary history of their commun ity it is possible to read- It is doubtful, too, if they realize that as each issue valuable it old files of a historical able worth, The newspaper files are the most authentic history of the community available. They tell the story of the community’s life as it happens. Past history is important'to those who live in the present. Those of •us who live in modern surroundings are sometimes apt to forget the sacrifices of those who made the community what it is today. It is not so very long ago when the ter ritory served by weekly newspapers was virgin forest or prairie, un touched by the hand of the white man. It was a territory upon which the plowpoint had never turned a furrow, wild and beautiful country in its natural state. In the mean time men have worked and schemed and planned and today we have every modern convenience, churches schools, libraries, theatres, electric Lights, sidewalks, and a hundred and one other conveniences our forefathers never dreamed of. These things did not come about by chance or by natural evolution. They came about because men toil ed ceaselessly to leave behind them a better world than that into which they came. Their devotion, their struggles; their ideals, their initia tive and determination should be an inspiration to succeeding genera tions. And achievements appears in the files of (the local newspapers, and that is why they, are such valuable re cords of the triumphs of the pion eers. Few people who contribute to the news columns of the newspaper are aware that they are contem porary historians. 'They are chronic ling the events of the community for posterity, and generations hence will read the story they have. told, and from the - struggles of this day will gain inspiration for the strug gles of their day. The newspaper .preserves the story of- oui* ideals, our problems and our lives, and those who contribute to the news columns of their local newspaper are therefore doing ice for those who , wake. For this reason that contributors write so reader 25 or 50 years hence may understand the import of the story. For instance some writers are apt to consider a story as of interest only to their particular organization rather than to the community as a whole.
