Editorials New Publisher, But Policies The Some The Sioux Center News publishes under a new owner this week. Aside from the fact that a different name appears on the flag above this editorial column, we believe that News readers and advertisers will find few, if any, major changes.

One of the reasons we bought the News was that we considered it to be a fine weekly paper, well edited, with good news coverage of a large trade area, a neat looking format and a good percentage of advertising. We will put forth every effort to maintain the standard set by Byron Hess. Any changes that will come will be those that progress dictates from time to time. The question that is put to the new publisher more often than any other since our arrival in Sioux Center Saturday evening is "How did you happen to choose to come to Sioux Center?" We have partially answered that question in the preceding paragraph. We were interested in buying a good weekly paper and found what we were looking for in the Sioux Center News.

But there are other equally important reasons. We liked the appearance of the town at the time of our first visit here last August. We noted the many improvements that have been made here during the past few years in the way of new homes, a new hospital, new school auditorium, new junior college, many street improvements. We noted recent additions to the business district particularly the massive Farmers Cooperative Society elevator of 330,000 bushel capacity, the new postoffice building, new motel. These improvements to us spelled progressiveness, economic stability, an industrious and forward-looking populace.

And, of course, one can not talk of Sioux County and Sioux Center without mention of agriculture. this has the appearance of being one of the richest farming areas in the country. We have been informed by best authority that Sioux county is the second most productive in Iowa, agriculturally speaking. That's saying a great deal, because Iowa is known the world over for its tall corn, its diversified livestock program, its fine dairy herds, its large qiianity of cattle feeders. All of this spells a consistently high standard of living for most of those who call Sioux county and Sioux Center home.

Undoubtedly, as time passes, we will find many other reasons to be glad we are residing in Sioux Center. At present we are content with what we have found. Our intention is that Sioux Center will continue to find its newspaper a strong and progressive instrument of community service, one that does justice to the wonderful area it serves. We know advertisers will continue to find its large circulation within the immediate trade area a real and profitable advantage in promoting their services and products. The new publisher will greatly appreciate the cooperation of all readers of the news in seeing that the paper is informed about happenings in their homes and family circles.

The more local news, the more interesting the paper. It is rather difficult for a new resident of a town to make all the contacts necessary for complete news coverage and therefore any and all news tips will be of tremendous help. The new publisher plans no changes in the staff. Miss Henrietta Schuiteman will continue as society and club news editor and also will write most of the personals. Since Henrietta prefers to do her writing at home, she can be readily reached by telephoning 20993.

Ruth Warntjes will continue as front-office assistant, handling a wide-variety of chores. On the mechanical side there'll be the three regulars: Arend (Oots) Voorderman, Donald Beernink and Roger Oliver, who not only make it possible to produce a newspaper on schedule but who are trained in all phases of job printing. We consider it our good fortune to inherit such a fine group of associates from Publisher Hess. Together we will carry on in a way that we hope will please and satisfy, We know Sioux Center readers will miss Mr, Hess, Certainly, the new publisher joins with all of you in wishing him success and happiness in his new business adventure at Alton, For more than twenty years I have been going to Lake Junaluska, in western North Carolina. There beside that lovely mountain lake, I have heard the voice of God many times.

Not long since, a friend was there who was facing a major crisis with regard to health. Fearful of possible discoveries and possible surgery, he was worried. For him the future loomed very dark. Besides the waters of Lake Junaluska one evening, as he prayed, he received a fresh assurance Natural Gas Convenient Clean Economical as the result of laying his fear before God. "My prayer was answered he declared.

"You mean that as a result of your praying that night you did not have an operation?" I asked. "Oh, yes, I had my operation, but through my praying God gave me the courage to face it unafraid." Beside still waters! This means more than a reference to geography. It portrays how prayer can make, us calm and O. Weldon (North Carolina) Sioux County Court House News William J.
