The Winkler County News
A newspaper is many things to many people.
To some, it is reality — a living record of each
passing day of history; to others,
it is escape — a refuge of entertainment and relaxation
after the day’s chores.
To the housewife, it is ideas for new recipes and new clothes.
To the mother, suggestions for raising the youngsters.
To the teacher, a homework assignment
on current events; to schoolchildren a notebook item.
To the lonely diner, a companion;
around the family supper table, a topic of conversation.
To sports and theater lovers, news of
who is playing, when, where and in what.
To athletes and actors, scrapbook materials.
To an unknown, it brings fame;
to the well known, further fame.
To the seller, it means quick response;
to the buyer, many selections.
To some, it brings good news; to others, sad tidings.
To friends and neighbors, it tells about job promotions,
school graduations, who got married, who was born, who died.
To the voter, it is guidance; to a politician, a channel to the voter.
To front stoop sitters, it describes life beyond the horizon.
To the living, it is the freedom to know and understand the world.
To the dead, a tribute to their lives.
To all in America it means uncensored news and opinion;
in other parts of the world, the deadening hand of censored propaganda.
What else costs so little, is so useful, and adds so much to our lives?
