The above is arranged in no particular order nor according to any particular method of classification. There is no scale for weighing helpfulness. We should have liked to mention every body first, as we would like in the subsequent list to mention names instead of groupings, but there has to be an end even to debts of gratitude. We are indebted to no group more than the New Castle police and the girls at Town Hall, all of whose work we have interrupted time after time with what must have ap peared to them the most irrelevant, at least to their pursuits, of questions. The members of every Board in Town have won our esteem for the innate gravity of their conduct and the selfless ness of their attention to jobs for which there is no reward, and too often, unthinking and uninformed criticism. The School Board, in particular, we found a notable body of dedicated per sons. To organization publicity persons everywhere, we send this last check drawn on the bank of gratitude for services ably rendered. I would not have discharged my obligation either to our readers or myself, however, if I did not point out that The News, in the final assessment, owes what it was to its publisher, Lev Gleason. The newspaper was honest and unafraid because Mr. Gleason meant it to be that way, and paid heavily to keep it that way. The espousal of unpopular causes is always unprofit able, and the reward is only the anticipated one of being able to say someday — I was right. The News had one objective: to print all the information pertinent to the welfare and present and future condition of New Castle. It was Mr. Gleason who set this objective, within that most democratic of all backgrounds, the right to a free speech within which falls the right to a free press. There was no point of view which could not get its space in the pages of The News. If there is one you didn't see there, it was because we were not asked to print it. That is what a free press means, not the restricted right of this group or that to have its attitude publicized while repressing all others. This is the way Mr. Gleason interpreted freedom of the press, free dom of thought, freedom of religion and of speech. I know of no other newspaper in the United States, great or small, where these freedoms were guaranteed with such absoluteness as in The News, and I speak as one who did not make the policy, but only carried it out. It was for this reason that The News was a newspaperman's dream. Few places in the country are vouch safed such a newspaper, and New Castle will be lucky if it is again. There is no surer way of proving the sincerity of a man's convictions than by asking him how much will he pay for them. Mr. Gleason paid heavily. Probably no one but myself knows how much The News, in its character as a family newspaper, owes to Peggy Gleason. She was its editor of good taste, its unfailing voice of courtesy over the phone, its smiling face of reception. There is no way to thank her for the job except to let everybody know that she did it and to point out that nearly every story that went into the paper owes something to her of accuracy, of avoidance of offending and of interest.
