If it does disagree, the newspaper bas its editorial columns for the pre- sentation o! its opinions.

As part o! a big fami]y, the newspaper does net expe<'t aIl of its readers fe be in complete harmony on everv subjeet; and it welcomes fair cri- ticism. The newspaper is called upon to comment upon many o! the events taking place in iLs cornmunity. It supports wortby projeets o! the various couincils, service clubs, welfare organizations and other groups within its area. It praises where praise is due; criticizes where it feels criticism is neces- sa ry; and then only when con- structive criticism is possible. Its editorials often deal with national or international matters in an ef- fort te inform the familv members of subjects which now affect thcm, or may affect them in the future.
