auctioneers one of these weeks is national newspaper week im not sure whether it was last week is this week or will be next week but its somewhere about now weekly newspapers are supposed to take advantage of this chance to try to convince their readers how im portant the local newspaper is to the community most editors ara fond of this thorn at any mine but on this special occasion they pull all the stops go haywire hoowild jn editorials of inordinate length and inosscribabla dullness they mud- oaon thsir subscribers with the inatnar astonishing news that the weakly paper is hie lynchpiri of democracy the keystone of civil isation the last rampart f freed om of s and the greatest symbol of progress since th in vention of gunpowder they take no less pride in an nouncing that the editor is the voice pof the man in the street the conscience of society a fearless fighter in the ranks of freedom an incorruptible individualist a still small voice of reason in the midst of chaos and everything but the answer to a maidens prayer all this of course is utter drivel there were healthy happy com munities long before the weekly was invented and no doubt there will be happy drooling communi ties of radioactivated types long after the last selfstyled watch dog of the community bald bea gle is extinct and the last ancient groaning press has been melted down to make a shelter against them rushin satellites we keep hearing about reason all this is arrant fool- ishness of course is that weekly i editors live in a continual stale of f baptiste clerkj only 39 shopping days in geor getown before christmas local stores are rstarting to display their holiday gift merchandise dealing with your friendly georgetown mer chant you will find items for every member of the family selfdeception they remind me a lot of preachers sort of ineffec tual fellows who couldnt make a living in any other line yet both command for some reason a cer tain amount of respect in the com munity some organization when they are planning a banquet will even go to the lengths albeit reluctant ly of giving the preacher and the editor a complimentary ticket one is expected to say a handsome grate for his supper the ether to write a nice piece about it if they do their chores wen they might get a free ticket to next years banquet this is the only way a lot of them keep skin and hone separated by a modicum of flesh a good preacher spends hours preparing his sermon a conscien tious editor will devote hours to writing his editorials both are greeted with- equal indifference the congregation stares vacantly at the preacher wishing hed cut it short so they could get home to dinner on the way out they shake his hand warmly saying a grand sermon enjoyed every word of it the editors subscrib ers take one look at that long learned editorial and turn to the classified ads next time they see him they say with animation certainly enjoyed that editorial yo wrote about uh you know the ond tin last weeks paper both are full of words one from the pulpit the other on paper to which nobody pays much attention unless they happen to strike horn when the recipient of the shaft dels at some length and with soene heat on the shortcoming of pastor or editor trouble with editors is that they believe fondly that readers hans i on their every word they dont i realize that the lady who is pcrus t ing the local paper with rapt attention is not digesting the ed j itorial on the sewage problem but is scanning the account of a wed- 1 ding and saying to herself well j they certainly didnt get married i a day too soon i i they fail to ken that the man who buys the first paper off the press and whips it open is not fran tic to read the careful analysis of the actions of town council but is swiftly searching the front page to sec if his name is mentioned for being drunk and disorderly on sat urday night somebody once re marked that nobody buys a weekly to read the news they already know it all they just want to see if anyone got caught certainly theres a big difference in the way people reed a weekly paper and a daily when they pick up a dally mattlwt headlines as sault them with tales of rape mur der and such delights when the me people seise their weakly they tusrn with eagerness to the account of the womens lnstituts1 meeting where they view with pieesur their own name large as life right there as convener of the sunshine cotnnilh they ignore the headlines ot the weekly which deal with such mundane matters as girl guide rallies red cross campaigns and fall fairs instead they concentrate on the little human interest stories about people falling off the back steps and breaking their back they read with interest the obitu aries and snort with amusement when they see that the od sinner was buried from the church where he hadnt set foot in forty years or they check to see where their neighbours the ovtboles were last weekend because they saw the car going past the gate and every body in it dressed up editors should stop fooling them selves that th weekly is a neces sity it is pure luxury but it is one of those luxuries like sugar in your coffee salt in your porridge and the first gasper after break fast without which life would s ahead bleak and endless as the sands of fnner mongolia holmes 5 to 100 store 11 main st n georgetown tr 72401 misses ladies bonanza wallets
