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-

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

of Pennsylvania. Perhaps he was
one of seven newspapers in the
county instead of the state, to
receive the citations. (Maybe in

about SEVEN newspapers.)

We suggest that all who read this

It is the thought of both the
initial sponsors, and the manage-
ment of this paper to make the

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-

Cambria county has everything
to advertise and to tell about—
and, like all other communities

it. Tune in today, Thursday, at

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,

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. Anderson, the
*
ces and services are being held by
most all creeds in our comuunities
this week. 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.
The United States of America
can’t live unto itself and be se-
cure. We can’t pinch pennies and
be safe. Security from war is
never too expensive — even if
taxes must be higher.

Selective service went out of
commission last Monday at mid-
night, but a bill has passed the
Congress to preserve the records
of the vast organization that so
adequately furnished the man-
power for our military strength
during the war. 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 anything but pleasant. 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

{or favoritism, shown by Selective

t these citizens who did an obnox-
| ious job, fairly, squarely and well.

Anderson told the House Post-
office committee that an increase
in postage would have to be
passed on to subscribers in the
amount of 50 cents a year. 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.
