"No Substitute For
The Newspaper"
Professor Harry K. Harrington, director
of the Medill jSchooL of Journalism
at Northwestern University,
Evai\*ton, 111., recently said that the
hanking emergency "through which
our country had then just passed,.
ngain proved conclusively that there
w no substitute for the newspaper."
"J'anic and hysteria have (been
averted by the newspapers' prompt,
complete, and unemotional chronicle
of what has happened," he said.
'*There is, of course, no doubt that
the radio served effectively alongside
tho newspapers," Professor Harrington
said, "but it has not supplanted
the work of tho Washington correspondent
on the scene. (Because it is ,
limited in ownership, the radio cannot
have access to every home, but daily
papers are read by thousands who do
not' own radios, but who havo access
to an inexpensive newspaper. The
newspaper has been able to supply
a detailed, permanent record, a record
verified and brought up to date
by trained investigators who never
left the job." a
"Press associations hnvo carried .
the tidings of tho moratorium to
every nook and cranny of our land,
so that the newspaper ofi'ice has become
the most important distribution
center of every community, and from
it has issued the complete and correct
interpretation of the situation in
Washington, and the explanation of
how the moratorium Will afTect individual
business enterprises and every
citizen."
"It would havo been a calamity indeed,"
he added, "if there had been
a moratorium on newspapers! Panic
and hysteria have been averted by
the newspapers' prompt, complete,
and unemotional chronicle of what
has happened. Newspapers havo given
the American citizens an unparalleled
demonstration of cooperation
and unstinted service for the general
good and havo furnished the raw material
of sound public opinion." x
When the tornado destroyed the
mill at Belton, Mrs. Annie Brown, at
work in the sewing room of the mill,
had her sweater blown off her body
and carried away. In it were a government
check and $3 in currency. A
month later, the other day, the sweater
was found in a wood pile a third
of a mile from the demolished mill,
with the check and money intact.
| Here's a new one. Governor Blackwood
gave Jim 'Cromer, sentenced for
life for murder, leave of absence from
.the penitentiary, to go to his home in
i Cherokee county to solicit money to
1 hire a lawyer to get him a pardon
.from that same governor. He killed
' a couple of men in an election night
fight at Alma /Mills in 1930, less than
three years ago. Another man, Williahi
iCole, convicted with Cromer,
was paroled at the end of & year.
About 3,800 homing pigeons were
released at one time at Spartanburg
to fly home to clubs in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and the
ones farthest from home flew the 700
miles to iSouth Manchester, Conn., in
10 to 12 hours.
I Can't See the
