On Newspapers
American newspapers are being saluted by a proud
nation in observance of National Newspaper Week (Oct. 15-
21). Since shortly after the Constitution was written the
Bill of Rights has guaranteed United States citizens and news
papers alike the ten freedoms, including freedom of the press.
Americans have enjoyed this freedom so long that per
haps they have begun to take it for granted. Papers some
times take up a popular crusade or campaign but must be
careful to stress complete truth, accuracy and good inten
tions.
Pepers in the U. S. are different from those of many
countries. They do not try to make decisions for the reader
as in the case of countries controlled by some “can’t-be-
wrong politicians.
We must protect our freedoms. Whether we want to
skim quickly over our newspaper or read every word is left
up to us. But in order to protect ourselves from possible
aggression we must be armed with truth and the knowledge
of present day world and local problems. Newspapers provide
us with this knowledge.
Newspaper stories are located for the convenience of
the reader.
Stories are written with the most important facts to
ward the beginning of the article to help give the reader the
news first than the details.
Knowledge of the day’s events is important in today’s
modern world. While keeping abreast of current events is
not the key to success, success is hard to come by without the
knowledge gained by reading newspapers.

Saturday thru Tuesday—★★★★
“Exodus” Otto Preminger directs
screen version of Leon Uris novel
about Jewish fight for a homeland.
Movie is strong and swift and in
spiring. Cast includes Paul New
man, Lee J. Cobb and Eva Marie
Saint.
CIRCLE
Saturday Only — ★★ “Party
Girl” and “The Hangman” and Des
ert Hell” In “Hangman,” Robert
Taylor climbs into elevated cow
boy boots, stalks madly about,
catches “good-guy” bank robber
and, at same time, captures heart
of scrubwoman Tina Louise. Yet
“Hangman” is best of the three.
Sunday thru Tuesday — ★★★
“Two Rode Together” and “The
Silver Chalice” Despite cliche-rid
den plot, James Stewart manages
to project character of sheriff who
wants no part in unrewarded hero
ics. Richard Widmark portrays
idealistic “helper.” Virginia Mayo
and Jack Palance appear in “Cha
lice.”

He Said
Balas, 28, owner of a car wash,
left his wedding reception at the
Ambassador Hotel Wednesday
night to visit the rest room. In
side, he met a sour-faced little
man who said:
“You look happy. What’s
wrong?”
“Wrong?” said Balas. “There’s
nothing wrong. I just got mar
ried. I’m happy, that’s all.”
“Well,” said the gloomy little
man, mellowing. “I’m a married
man myself. Let me give you a
present. I’m a cab driver and
my cab’s parked outside, with
the keys in it. Use it in good
health. Drive it all you want
and send the bill to the Friendly
Yellow Cab Co. Consider it a
wedding gift from me and the
company.”
Balas thanked the stranger,
fetched his bride, Deveva, and
drove off.
the finest group of young men
I have ever had the privilege of
handling on a special train. They
were friendly, courteous and
well behaved throughout the
journey to and from Lubbock.
J. R. Moseley
City Ticket Agent
They didn’t pay much atten
tion to the guy standing back at
the hotel, yelling his head off.
This, of course, was the real
driver of the cab, David Kz-ieger.
Krieger phoned his boss, who
phoned polire, who seized Balas
and his wife and carted them off
to the police station.
Balas explained what had hap
pened and the cab company said
it would press no charges.
The couple left with this ad
monition from police: “Next
time you take a cab, make sure
it’s got a driver.”
