"YOUR LIFE'S RECORD"
The hometown newspaper . . . like the rising and set-
ting of the sun . . . is a vital part of our everyday living.
A letter to the editor of the Grundy, Iowa, Register,
brings this point home. It said: "You were here over
50 years ago and you will find in the files of your paper
a report of my birth. Your paper also had stories when
I played football in school, when I graduated and later
when I got married. You have reported many anniver-
saries in our family, the birth of our four children, their
activities in school and elsewhere. And in late years you
have reported the arrival of our grandchildren. Why, you
and your paper have written and printed a life history
of our family. And why shouldn t we look upon you and
because the local paper isnt self-perpetuating as is the
sun. It needs your support even as the community needs
its service.
