WEEKLY NEWS
UNDEK, NEW MANAGEMENT
Since it‘s birth some four
teen years ag} under the able
guidance of Gap Hubrick the
McCarthy Weekly has had a var
ied and hectic career. It has seen
days of prosperity and plenty
and has reared its head proudly
among its bretheren and llouri
shed.
It has come thru dark and
troublous times, and ao irregular
intervals, so feeble has it become
tlmt scant hope has been held
out for its recovery, but it still re
tains a spark of life and where
there is life, “There is HOPE”
We are told by sages with long
and hoary beards.
Once again the News has
changed hands tor better or for I
worse and the new management
has gritted it's teeth and resol v
ed to fan the spark into life and
our earnest endeavour will be to
to foster the "infant” into lusty
childhood and eoa* it into full
matu rity.
There are many difficulties
to overcome, we are strangers to
the district and it is always difti
cult to break into the full conti
dence of the public, as there is
always a natural reserve to over
come. But oar first visit to Me
Oarthy impressed us greatly.
Everyone was friendly to stran
gersand seemed glad to welcome
them so that we are very eonli
dent that we will have the back
ing and support of every mem
ber of the community, Wl'JH
OUT which any venture of any
kind is doomed to failure before
hand and WITH which nothing is
impossible of achieve met.
It is our chief aim to publish
a paper which w’ill bj a benefit
and a thing of pride to the com
munity. We want everyone to
look forward to each issue with
interest and not look on it as a
matter of charity to a poor and
struggling editor. (Though, frank
ly, we do like to see the subs*
criptions come in).
A lie vsp iper can be a great
force for good a community
for by no other mediu n can ideas
ana newsol progress from every
part of the world be transmitted
to a large number of people with
the facility of the newspaper.
In these days of progress
when the world is lorging ahead
by leaps and f ounds no part of
Society is sufficient unto itself*
To attempt this would he to ue
te no rate and backslide into the
age of primitive man. We are de
pendant for our food, our cloth
ing, our culture on other people
and other communities and con
versely other communities are
tie pern lent on us.
The newspaper is the lan
guage by which one community
speaks to another and by our
language we are judged and eri
tieised.
It behooves each comm unity then
to raise it‘s voice and tell it‘s
neighbors that it is very much
alive; that it is here lor a very
definite purpose and the NEWS
wants to do this for McCarthy
and wants the help of every man
woman. and child in the town
and district. Puli WITH us—not
AGAINST us.
Il you do not agree with
our views as pubished in th&
NEWS come in and tell us. We
will be glad to publish yours.
And in this way (we blush
is we say this on account'of our
shy and retiring nature.)
WE SHALL SUCCEED
