weekend here with their parents the Carl Phillips and Tom Perrys AUTO SUPPLY Some of the townspeople who arc most active in civic affairs often forget what they as individuals and their organizations owe the newspaper They arc motivated by good ideas and arc mostly people of goodwill hut they take a free press too much for granted They expect the newspaper to get every fact about a civic proposal and to get it absolutely right They want the whole even if it takes the entire paper to print it And they think that everything ubout their organization is great news Truth is that must of the activities of local organizations are news only when this information interests many people Big news is that which affects a lot of people not just the members of a club Yet within his space limitations the newspaperman dues his level best to report the main facts of each club meeting What all civic-ir'ndcd persons must remember is that the newspaper can't possibly print half the stuff that comes to it And some things like the reports of public bodies required by law arc not news They are paid advertising as defined by law If we want a newspaper in our town published every week or every day we've got to make it possible for that pa-' to pay its bills We should be interested in every report published in that paper official public notices as well as news stories We arc affected as much by one as by the other hut we don't always realize it It is indeed easy to think that the newspaperman the lawyer and the public official all profit by the American tradition of public notices But the plain fart is that wc all of us the storekeeper the coal dealer the school supplier the club woman the teacher the every one of us who help to make our town wi at it is have a remendous stake in preserving freedom of the press and the people's right to know (Continued next month) lei me answer Your Phone RESIDENCE 4-fear phone iutrlr sorvleo ANSWERING TULSA Phone Ln 4-1411 AUTOMATIC

we are going to New Orleans this spring Thanks again also protects the rights of all the people Everybody without ex reption has a stake in preserving this traditional method of informing the people about legal matters Let's consider the businessman the grocer the grain elevator man the coal and wood dealer all the tradesmen They more than the average citizen need to know how the public's funds are being spent and where They have a right to know these things because every governmental body should purchase materials supplies and equipment from local businessmen whenever possible In several states the state institutions are required to buy from in-state firms if these firms can supply their needs It is recognized as a principle of good business to keep the money when you can Mothers and fathers especially those who have children in school arc vitally interested in what the srhool board docs What it buys where and what it pays for it Futhemiorc Ix-causo the school board does business continuously the members of the PTA and others with school-age children need to know what is going on from week to week and month to month Fact is the money the school board is spending belongs not to the board hut to these people and the other taxpayers We could go on and on Every taxpayer has the right know what happened at the county commissioners' meeting how the school district treasurer spent school funds and exactly what the the city proposal is for zoning These we must repeat are things the people have a right to know And they have an equal obligation to become well informed about them Although everybody has some self-intcreste in preserving the American system of keeping the people informed perhaps no one is more affected by it than the public official We seldom find a dedicated public servant who does not realize the importance of a free press and also the necessity of public notice In this writer's experience as the editor-publisher of fve newspapers only one official opposed the publishing of a report required by law His opposition was very short-lived because other school treasurers in the county soon explained things to him As a matter of fact the honest public official and 99 out of 100 men in public office are both honest and hard-working WANTS to report to his public periodically It is the newspaperman's job to publish a paper every week or every day so that the medium will be ready when the public official needs it This may be seldom or very often but the official will most certainly have need for a way to get his story to the people There are few notices required to be published in a country ruled by a dictator For that natter there are mighty few news in any country ruled by a tvrant He sees to that as soon as he grabs power The newspapers are immediately shut down their plants padlocked or confiscated The few that remain are edited strictly for the dictator's pleasure and to peddle his warped philosophy of life and politics A free press can exist only in a free country Dedicated public officials know what happens when a dictator seizes a country and they know that the second thing he does is to arrest and imprison all public officials who disagree with him After the newspapers are destroyed the politicians are next And those who take over as public officials are completely lacking in a sense of loyalty to the people This being true our American public officials welcome the opportunity to make an accounting of their stewardship Much of what a public figure does makes news but a great deal more of what he does will never reach the people unless it is brought to them in an official publication Yet this report of his day-to-day or month-to-month activities particularly the accounting for the handling of public may be far more important than the extraordinary things that make the news Publishers acknowledge their gratitude to public officials for the part these public servants have played in helping to draft and to sponsor good laws on public notice It is earnestly hoped that this fine cooperation will continue and that the public will be made more aware of these activities that protect the people's "right to
