MEMBER |LLINOIS PRESS AssOCIATION Entered at the Post Office at Libertyville, COUNTRW PAPER GAINING The notion that the country press will be replaced or damagel by the growth of the radio, the movies, or any other modern agcn-l cy for entertainment and distribution of information was scoffed at by Congressman Aswell of Louisiana in an address recently. The country newspaper, he maintains, is an essential part of itg community, as essential as the court house, the school, or the church. _ The editor, he maintains, is closer to the lives of his citizens than even the minister or the family doctor. _ Every event, great or small, finds its way to his knowledge or attention. He cited the views of Thomias Jefferson who said he would rather have newspapers without a government than a govcrnmcnl' without newspapers. -- The great student of democrasy believed that newspapérs are essential to suceessful populir-govcmmcnt----' that the fear of publicity is a greater deterrent of corrupt"pmcticesl than prison threats, and that an accurate knowledge of what is taking place throughout the community and nation is essential tcl the functioning of government by the people. _ ;.« ' ' In another part of his address he sketched, the development of the newspapers in this country, showing . how most of the changes have been in the direction of real advaricement. _ In this we feel, he struck upon something vital. We tire of hearing allusions to the "good old days" when the editor spent hours and days collectingepithets to. hurl at his oppon-- ent with the next edition -------- when feuds in words, were accepted as an essential feature of journalism. The persorteducated up to the modern standard to which most newspapers adhere would find the old type of publication extremely tiresome. j He cited the views of Thor rather have newspapers without . without newspapers. _ The great that newspapérs are essential to : that the fear of publicity is a gre than prison threats, and that ar There are in this land of ours many lofty souls who scoff at the work of a chamber of commerce and condemn Americans for their proclivity for "boosting" their home communities. It is purely the mark of a material civilization, showing sup reme neglect for anything of cultural value. It is a spirit dictated only by selfishness, by a will to have a larger community inwhich to carryon a program of exploitation. _ In short Congressman Aswell has lent emphasis to our own feeling--------that the country paper is really just coming into its own, that modern developements tend to emphasize rather than minimize its importance to its community, and that it is moving in step with the march of progress, adding new improvements each passing year.' This is their argument but is it intelligent? Isn t an active chamber of commerce an agency for the development of things of cultural value as well as of things of material value? Isn"t lack of money the great drawback to the proper development of al most every community in the land. ? "Y ou mustn't depend too much upon us old fellows," he said. "The future of our town is now in the hands of the younger men who must take things up about where we left off. _ We've met with too many disappointments in years gone by and we've become too conservative in our point of view. * The thinker can answer in one way only. _ It is the prosper-- ous community that can afford the best schools, that can support the finest in entertainment, that can maintain the best library. Poverty never produces anything of merit. This is true of indi-- vidual careers. _ It is likewise true of communities and municipali-- We want to see Libertyville prosper. First because we feel confident we, too, will prosper along with the general m« yement. Second, because we know that our citizens will lead better and happier lives as the commuinty forges forward in a graterial way. "When a new proposition is advanced we see all the reasons why it can't be put over with sutcess. Perhaps we're wrong, but that's the fault of age. What the town needs now is a lot of young fellows who don't know it can't be one and for that reason go ahead and do it." All of us may well give profound thoughts to his remarks. When an active commercial organizatiog in our city brings a new business to the community it adds much to the tax roll of the city, and it thereby opens the way to any number of enterprises of cultural value that could not be considered otherwise. An old stager in our communtiy life who | much to the development eof the city in the years ;g us a few thoughte recenty on what our town needs The time has come, therefore, when we must recognize the aer* oplane as an essential and important unit in our national system of transportation, and since this is the case, it is well to consider what the effect will be upon our city. Do we need an airport in Libertyville? > | t * ... Many of our local citizens feel that we do, arguing that it need not be an extremely expensive project----that it may bring to the city a large amount of business that goes elsewhere----and that trans portation has always been the key to city growth. PAST EXPERIMENTAL STAGE Travel by air is now definitely past the experimental stage. Again the Graf Zeppelin has brought a load of passengers safely across the Atantic. <-- Daily men in various lines of business are finding the aeroplane of great value. Figures recently made public show that travél by air is no more dangeours than many other means of locomotion. The law of avarages gives one almose twenty years of safety in tee naval air service,, with its continuous maneuvers and extra hazardous flying. The same set of figures show that one could fly in the mail service for twenty--four years before one would encounter an accident. We doubt if the same figures could be secured for motor car travel. ; shrd!lluluu __And it must be remembered that"ordinary travel is far less dangerous than military maneuvering or air mail carrying. _ All of us may well give profound thoughts to his remarks.l A commun. y is not unlikea business. The time inevitably comes when young blood and youthful enthusiasm are badly needed. ' If we might have the right degree of co--operation here we would find the young men furnishing the energy and the old men supplying the judgment that comes«@nly with long experience.
