Show COMMERCIAL SECURITY BANK PROPHET FOOD CO. Serving the Weber State Campus * Photograph taken at the Berlin Wall . . . with the Ogden HOW TO GO THROUGH A WALL... This is the Berlin Wall. The newspaper happens to be the Ogden Standard-Examiner-on purpose. For while neither we nor any paper can do much about this barricade to freedom, we CAN help break through other walls. The walls of prejudice, bias, secrecy, misinformation and ignorance . . . walls which can seal off a community from the free interchange of ideas and from the democratic process. To do this, the Ogden Standard-Examiner uses the sharpest tool ever invented-the right of free press, honed and edged by YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW. It's amazing how it works-though so many of us take it for granted. It penetrates the council chamber and frees all views to public eye. It questions the state, the captains and the kings. It reports the actions of those who harm and of those who act to prevent them. It searches out situations which need dissecting-and correcting. And it REBUILDS . . . with clear and accurate information. With enlightenment, with education, with a sense of today's history. It substitutes education for bias; new ideas for old opinions; and brings the turn of the world into bright focus. Your paper does this day after day. Free of censorship or barbed wire, it helps keep YOU free ... to read, to think, to act, in a free society. It's the best way we know of . . . to go through a wall.
