December 5, 1946 Editorial - Public Opinion: Has a news reel or a movie made any impression upon you as to what the Republicans or Democrats are doing for the country and influenced your recent vote? Doesn't the radio serve to mold your opinion of public officials through their speeches and news reports? Hasn't the American school given you nearly all the background you possess in history and social studies with which you formulate opinions? All these are at work to influence you. It is therefore important that we learn to think constructively.
