Associate Editor 1, together with the Local EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT We have no part in the issues that are revolving around the for- um discussions in Barnesboro, but it does make interesting reading to we outsiders to digest the news of these discussions as related in the Barnesboro Star. Publishing good things about one’s self is a trait for which the Star holds the heavyweight belt among newspa- pers in this section. For instance, look at this taken in complete text from last week's Star: “Editor | Ranck, asking permission of Mr. Todhunter (at a meeting) to say a few words, remarked: “The Bar- nesboro Star was the only news- paper in Cambra County and one of seven in Pennsylvania to re- ceive a citation from the United States Treasury Department for distinguished service rendered in behalf of the War Finance Pro- gram, and it also received a cita- SUITS ‘e's go to new lengths ...Suited to graceful living this Spring are our very pert and pretty suits.

Cambria concerns. tion from the War Production Board for meritorius service in the Victory Pulpwood Campaign.” * Kx x The Star is to be congratulat- ed on its fine record during the war, and we are sure the good people of Barnesboro are justly proud of it. However, Mr. Ranck is a bit presuming on the number of newspapers that received the citations he boasts of. Maybe it would do him good to step over to our own office in Patton and see these same citations hang- ing on the walls of our business office—and which were noted in our newspaper at the time of re- ceiving them. Trouble is with Mr. Ranck, he gets confused a bit with his geography, and must have been looking at a map of UNION PRESS-COURIER Thursday, April 3, 1947 Pappy &aster Ideas for you...and yours Cambria County instead of one of Pennsylvania. Perhaps he was one of seven newspapers in the county instead of the state, to receive the citations. (Maybe in Cambria County there are only about SEVEN newspapers.) Today, Thursday, from 12:30 to 1:00 oclock p. m. the first really representative Northern Cambria | County broadcast over a radio of | permanant standing, will go on | the air over Station WISW at Al- | toona, 650 on your dial, and while | | this initial attempt may not be up to the standard that the business sponsors or the Press-Courier, who promoted it may hope for, it will + a 7 S Lig Jl A I | 1 si Wp « f “a il stand as a test of experience for improved broadcasts in the future. We suggest that all who read this tune in on the program. It is the thought of both the initial sponsors, and the manage- ment of this paper to make the programs interesting to the peo- ple of Northern Cambria Coun- ty, and as time goes on we'll be able to ‘improve we are sure. But this venture is something new—something we’ve been sad- ly lacking in the past. Northern Cambria county has everything to advertise and to tell about— and, like all other communities —its up to ourselves only to do it. Tune in today, Thursday, at 650 on your dial and hear the first attempt. ® ok Another Easter season is with us. Special Holy Week observan- story regarding forest fires is the fact that most all of them can be attributed to human care- lessness—aside from those per- haps, ignited from railroad lo- comotives. The hunter and fish- erman, too often, through care- lessness, makes himself respon- sible for costly conflagrations. A lighted cigaret but, an camp fire not properly extinguished— can work havoc after he’s de- parted. Just be careful, and be sure, ok The people in the smaller com- munities surely appreciate their newspapers, whether it be the lit- tle daily paper, or the weekly. At the present time there’s a proposed increase in second class postage rates before congress that may be troublesome. Ed M.

It is a display of the belief in the risen Savior and the principles of his teachings—of the teachings of Christianity—of the thought of peace, and the practice of it. Too bad that the world to- lasting peace on earth. If all of the true spirit of the Easter sea- son, there would be better under- standing among nations and more of brotherly love. * % After two devastating wars in the memory of most all of us, naturally one thinks of another conflict as unthinkable. But, in order that such a thing doesn’t again happen in our time, we can’t sit idly by and let the lit- tle things again happen that en- gender wars, as was the case in the period after World War I.

An office of Se- lective Service Records, with no authority to make inductions will be established. Twelve thousand Selective Service employes now on the payroll will be reduced to 5,000 by June 1, and to 1200 by Nov. 1. [ The work of the selective service | boards in this country was one of | unstinting merit. Here in our own | communities we found real Amer- ican citizens, our neighbors, who gave of their time generously and without remuneration, to execute | the provisions of the law.

There were times when they incurred the enmity of some, of course, But [all in all, their decisions have been above reprocah, and one doesn’t | hear much about the poor work, {or favoritism, shown by Selective | Service Boards, nowadays. The | nation owes a debt of gratitude to t these citizens who did an obnox- | ious job, fairly, squarely and well. * % kx The season of forest fires will shortly be with us again.

Even now, this newspaper finds that out-of-county subscriptions must be boosted to that amount by us, or we are producing and dis- tributing those papers at a loss. Out-of-county newspapers have no direct benefit to our local ad- vertisers, and we feel that the effort we put forth week in and week out in endeavoring to pro- duce a weekly that former resi- dents of this section, now located at distant points, feel they must have—should be worth the addi- tional four bits.
