The Editor of the Volley- Settlor wishes to thank: the Valley-. Frontiers
ma n for Including the Valley Settler in her defense of editorial
policies of valley newspapers. The editor of the Valley Settler al^o
felt that the criticism leveled at the local newspapers was rather un

•It, secerns that many people of the Valley do not realize 'just what- the
Editorial page of a new spaper really is. Thcre-ftro a'Word of e xpla'n-,.
at ion will not go amiss. :
The Editorial’pan;e is-used by the Editor to express his •r h'er •pinions
on matters of public interest; It is often very -'c®nvenient'--espec,iai-ly
w hen it do me a to having the last say. Of c oiirse ; an$ 'ofte hhs the .
right to come back at the Editor or disagree with ’him-—or her» but sq
often they don't take the'time or effort to si "t dotort and’ wfctte—or . •
a groat deal of time may elapse before ;they get- -around' t* see the Edi
tor and t hey forget .about it.
As far as the Editor of this paper is ‘cort'c ebbed!/'she a Is • reserves, the
right to express her opinions on th-o Editorial page-‘-afid when she gets
"v;ound up" she doesn't need any help*' She is also perfectly willing^t®
take the bla mo and rt sp dnsibllity for what -she' writes. If"y®u d.o not
apron wit h her,that is your privilege.' This is- a' free country and we
a 11 have a rirht to" our ov/n opinions. Recently three Inhocent per~
sons ha vo been blamed for writing the Editorials on this page* The
Editor has broad shoulders anT'if you want tf lay the blame anywhere,'

There is one th’ng to bea r in mind when reading an Editerlal--Dori,J/ ^
rea d your ov/n idc.as into it.--for instance "greedy" doesn't1 •pell, pigs.
Also--if the shoe doeanit fit you—you don't need to put it ;ph*V- o ! .,
And just remember that the selfish person might be one who insists on
selling poor q ualltv lettuce or p otatocs---in fact anyone who thinks
only of himself and his ov/n pockctbook--rather . than the gBbnp and the
ultimate effect upon the Assoc la tion-*--or the future of the Association.
