In fact, the paper -used on one such edition would provide ample news- - print for.an average céunty weekly news- | paper wcloge | to a century. Orie heats a good deal of talk, from those in public office and holdipg public positions, about the importance of a free press in the United States. This is all very interesting and somewhat encouraging, but the fact that nearly 100,000 newspa- pers in this country find that their diffi- increasing.

One senator stood his. ground against attacks, from_several of his colleagues, cand ifever\figh iting words” wefe -it-was at that meeting. But there was no fight. The senator, as Life reported, held his-own agginst his verbal attackers. He flung back denunciations as fast as {they were flung at him. It was hard for | citizens of the United States to understand why a fight did not ensue, but, instead, the session ended peacefully. However, riothing is te be gained by from. cents a line, anonymous meeting or anywhere else. Flinging mud is not argument. Calling a man a madman, as was done at the Argentina meeting, reflects on the attacker and not on the man attacked. As Lineoln remarked, dur- ing one of his debates with Douglas, a loose tongue in a hot head utters little that is argumentative. In Argentina and im the City Hall in Key West, the verbal tilts wére more be- coming to-thoughtless boys than to men. Nothing that was said hotly in City Hall will in any way affect the retaining of Poinciana for ‘civilians or its transfer to the Navy. The calmer a man the more forcefully he speaks. When he lets his temper upset him, he is likely. to say a good many things he will regret, when he calms down, having said. Tension at the city commission’s meetings has been mounting for a good many weeks. Let us hope that, after the November 4 election, the tension will have disappeared. Giving money to help others enables one to extend his; or her, usefulness. HALLOWE’EN—NEW STYLE The approach of Hallowe’en, which comes on October 31st, reminds us that it is a night to tempt youngsters to commit various minor depredations and sometimes to overstep the bounds of propriety. The suggestion is made that communi- ties can avoid these exuberant excesses of jyoung p yseveral communities has demonstrated that this wise provision by the adults of the community tends to prevent the oc- eosional happening of unfortunate inci- dents. Of course, nobody takes Hallowe’en seriously in the present enlightened time. When men and women believed in witches and ghosts, October 31st was a night of fear and some trembling. These days, the evening is enlivened by the appearance of youngsters, in mask and fancy eos- tumes, who take advantage of the gala occasion to enjoy themselves. The Hallowe’en ceremonies had their origin among the Druids, centuries before the Christian era. In time, some Roman rites were added and observance of the day varied in accord with local custom. Hardly any of them are observed in this enlightened era- and Hallowe’en now serves to remind us of the credulity of hu- man beings, including the most learned in some centuries, which. resulted in the death of thousands of people who were accused of-practicing witchcraft. he Opinions as to Seviet Russia are as plentiful as those on the weather. SUGGESTS ADVERTISING RELIGION Declaring that “the masses of the un- churehed are not going to be reached by services conducted in a church building,” the Rev. Paul W. Quillian urges the Methodist Church’ to spend $900,000 on a national advertising campaign, employ- ing the radio, magazines and newspapers to interpret “the central truths and ac- tivities” of the Christian church. This is somewhat of a novel adea for religious emphasis, but, along with other preachers, Dr. Quillian believes that the church must employ_a vocabulary which is comprehénsible ‘to the Jayman.
