Hence forth, The Gazette and The Messenger will combine. .___ The publishers of The Gazette realize that the sale of a newspaper such as The Gazette with its proud rec- ord of 118 years in the community, with a record of high integrity built by many generations of publishers, over those years, involves a responsibility to the com- munity for Baldwinsville and area people have come to look upon The Gazette since its establishment in Octo- ber of 1846 as a dependable friend. In making the sale, the owners had to ask themselves these questions. Will the new owners show the same spirit of service to the community that The Gazette has tried to render its friends in Baldwinsville and the Baldwinsville area? Will the new owners continue the spirit of fairness in its treatment of the public that succeeding generations of publishers of The Gazette have felt was absolutely necessary? To both of these questions, The Gazette's present pwblishers could answer in the affirmative promptly. They didn't have to examine the background of to make certain. The new owner has op- erated his business in the community since 1929, and unlike other businesses, a newspaper is an open book, read by everybody, which all the world may see. , The publishers of The Gazette are proud of the re- cord which The-Gazette has left on Baldwinsville his- tory. They- obtained ownership on October 2, 1944 (since 1 that year came on a Sunday), after both had served a period of years as employees. The pm'chase was made on The Gazette's 98th anniversary. The first job they faced was the publication within their first two years was The Gazette's 100th annivers- ary edition and they gave of themselves unsparingly in the preparation for its publication.It was based on the factual 100 year files of the newspaper and the research of those 100 years of newspaper files of The Gazette alone took 17 months in careful study and preparation, before a word was placed on paper. It meant nights, Sundays and holidays of unusual work, extra work, in its preparattion, for the retiring publishers recall just dragging Themselves off to bed late at night or early in the morning past midnight, as they prepared the copy and set the type for it. , Unlike many newspapers, the Centennial edition was to be no extra page edition of newsprint.

The pres- ent publishers, knowing that The Gazette was passing into competent, reliable hands, decided to make it next Thursday, April 1, 1965. \ After all a newspaper is not sold to just anybody. It must be sold to someone who understands its opera- tion and can conduct it properly and reliably. , This does not mean that the present publishers in- tend to fold up and die., It is true they are currently un- employed but they have lived up to the spirit of high quality newspapering, and are making the sale to reli- able ownership and capable leadership, and in so doing have carried out their responsibility to their friends here and everywhere and to the community itself. _-_ It isn't right to close this final editorial without a word of thanks to the Baldwinsville community. The retring Gazette force are proud of Baldwinsville people, proud of the friends made during their tenure as pub- lishers and more than two decades of Baldwinsville business and professional people have The Gazette's final thanks, with the newspapers fine correspondents, for their unwavering support and encouragement. The Gazette's Employees . Over the years, The Gazette 'has been fortunate in having in tts employ some truly fine citizens. Today the publishers would like the opportunity to speak about three current members of the staff. The first, of course, is Mrs. Dorotha R. Scott, who has served as women's editor at The Gazette since March 1937. Her approach to this work is of the finest. During this time she has carried out many of the details in connection with the news of many weddings, many births, many deaths, many organizations and the acti- vities of many friends in the community. At all times, she has endeavored to treat all Baldwinsville and area residents with the fairness and kindliness that has al- ways been a part of the spirit of this newspaper. For this longtime effort in this manner, the publishers, of course, are truly grateful. In the printing department, first as a press feeder, and then as a lineotype operator, Mrs. Arnold (Jane) Judd has won the respect of those of us who have work- ed with her for her selfless dedication to getting the job! done. At the time of an automobile accident to one of the publishers in recent years, she had been known to work not only all day but in the emergency, practically around the clock, to pick up for the missing publisher. The third of the trio is Donald W. Burton, a resi- dent of RD Phoenix, whose father at one time, was own- er of the Phoenix Register. His strong effort to pick up for a missing publisher when the previous accident occurred was wholly in the spirit of cooperative news- papering. For a newspaper is not anybody's busimess.
