Well what have you done!
toward your good neighbor
policy this week9 I’m still J
thinking about this subject
but this week I’ll leave you
alone and will d-iscuss what
a newspaper should be doing
for the community. If we are
doing our job well, when you
have read the paper for the
week you are informed of the |
new and activities which be-
comes this town’s recorded
history. [ If when you. have
read it you .can smile and say
to yourself — this is a good
town — I’m glad I live here,
then we have accomplished
one of our goals. If some is
considering moving to Pan-
handle and looks at the Her-
ald and can see that there
are many fine stores and bus-
iness providing them the op-
portunity to do most of their
shoppihg at home; and if we
can picture the variety of
merchandise, the type of ser-
vice offered by our business-
men to you. all then we have
accomplished another goal.
If there is a community pro-
ject we can publicize and
help make it a success —
then we are justifiably proud.
