HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1975-04-17, Page 3THE Many readers have no idea of the time and effort that a large number of people put into getting out the Expositor every week. For the last few weeks the work load • on everyone has been even heavier than usual because staff here were involved in producing an extra edition -- the 52 page ' Centennial supplement which all subscribers will receive with this week's newspaper. • Quite a few people have put in long extra hours.Some have come in for several weeks on nights and weekend so that the supplement, equivalent to almost two normal size Expositors, could be put together, It's quite a job, putting a newspaper together under normal weekly deadlines every week of theYeai. And of course, it's extra 4, hard getting out'a big supplement while also coping with the normal weekly workload. It's probably our own fault that readers don't know how, much is involved, A customer in a store will sooner or later see everyone who works there. An Expositor customer has little opportunity to find out what goes on behind the scenes. When most people in the community think of the Expositor, Vthey probably think of the few people who visibly represent the paper while covering newstories and local happenings. But every week, and especially in weeks like this one when a big edition goes out, there are a lot more people involved. So, in an attempt to let readers know the deep dark secret (miracle?) of how a paper gets put out every week, we'll take you on a tour through the office when it's in full swing. The front office is capably manned by Carol Hunt. Carol has the demanding job of dealing with both the public and the Expositor staff. She takes ads, complaints and generally holds the business office structure of the Expositor iii together. Dianne Butt is her after-school and- on Saturdays helper. Pearl McFarlane, who worked in the front office for three generations of publishers, is also here on Saturday, writing her popular "Years Agone" column. Publisher A. Y. McLean's office adjoins the front office. He oversees the whole works and has 1,). the final word on what the paper says and does. Barbara Conlon is the bookkeeper for the Expositor. She copes with what looks like mountains of ledgers and is that quiet, competent voice y ou talk to on the phone when you call to check out something on your bill., Pat Armes is another lady who is often seen in the front office. She works part time and 'is in charge of subscriptions and circulation, sends out notices when subgerlOtions are due and keeps the stencils that are used to imprint addresses on papers that are mailed out, up to date. The editor's office is next. Our job involves covering meetings, writing stories, and editorials, You 're Invited Seaforth Public School presents a Centennial concert on Sea- forth's history, called "Salute to Seaforth" on May 22 and May 23 at the school.

The area behind the layout room at the Expositor is Tom Haley's territory. Tom , looks after Expositor pages after they are all laid out and works the large camera that shoots negatives of each newspaper page. Tom is also very lianctrat everything from And sn It goes, gvery week :a DE *ark; goe on t he 'that r ou readers Bet the ;new. and itch, MI 400 and In a ie4d4b/e ''It's .slot possible give. eVe. reaaer *song tour through our offices • hopefully this ' has helped tnexptain,loat whOt is involved in the ,behind the *#* -production of the' paper You mad each week; McLean ;nit nearly 300 papers. througb• the addres5 impttntbit machines, pet them in bundles and deliver there- to pest 42ffit.eS here and in Stratford., Early Thursday morning Andy McNichol is back on the job again, taking the new issues of the Expositor around to all the commercial outlets where it is. sold. going through all the copy that goes into each issue, writing heads Mr stories and cutlines to go under pictures, It also seems . to involve a lot of running around in a mad rush, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when finished pages are being produced. The man in charge of advertising at the Expositor has his office next to ours, but he's rarely sitting at his desk. Dave Robb, an invaluable addition to our staff, is usually out selling the advertising that helps make it financially possible to produce, a paper each week, A lot of credit for the Centennial issue goes to Dave who spent many long hours organizing it and ,developing special ads for customers. • Next to Dave's office is our composing room. Henrietta Brown, who works here, is the person who types most of the many inches of news in each week's, issue. Henrietta, who has been here for many years, is such a fast typist that she had our computer type setting- Machine beat when it was first installed a year and a • half ago. The computer's repairmen couldn't quite believe it --- but they speeded up our machine's memory to match Mrs. Brown's typing speed and it's worked fine ever since (as far as speed goes anyway --- we've had other little breakdown problems, but that's another story). ,She types many inches of , copy, under a lot of pressure, every week. There's another staff member who even few of the regular Expositor staff see, who works in the composing room'. Slit's Doreen Leeson, who mans the typesetter on Monday and Tuesday evenings, so that all the copy for the paper can be set by our Wednesday deadline. Across from the typesetting room there is a cubbyhole where our proofreader, Winn McLean, checks all the stories that 'go in the paper 'for accuracy, typographical and spelling mistakes. Hers is a trying job, especially when deadlines loom And the editor decides that completely error free copy has to be sacrificed if a story is going to be ready in time to appear in print at all. - Next in line is our layout and pasteup room where ads are" made up and all the pages of the Expositor are set out and put together. Grace Cornish is in charge of layout here and she works hard to make sure that ads and stories, get in the paper and on their allotted pages. High quality layout for all our newspaper pages-- it's a science unto itself with lots, of rules that are designed to make pages as attractive and her read as possible --- is her goal. Liz Watson, who's been here as a, full time staff member for a few years but works part time now that she's become a mother to Sadye, also works in the layout room. Liz makes up. ads, sets large type on another machine for headings and ads, fills in on the copy typesetter when she's needed and is generally willing and able to try most jobs in the office. Liz is also a photographer and develops most of the film and prints most of the pictures that maintenance an ' .0,0 our machines to sang ads, and printing and taking pictures, to covering meetings. Toni is the printer who turns out all our job work here. -Wednestlay night when the paper comes bask from the printing plant in Goderich our mailing crew takes over. Andy McNichol, Frank and Amelda Reynolds, Tracey, Carter and Joe appear' in each issue. Cathy Melady is another part time staff member who makes up ads and sets large type. Laying out the Expositor's classified pages, another trying job, is Cathy's responsibility every week. Yvomite-Krauter is a relatively new part time staff member who caught on very quickly to the job of ad layout and typesetting and • who worked closely on the Centennial issue. • Leo Hagan is the veteran employee here at the Expositor. with 43 years of experience to his credit. Leo is the expert here on ad make up and gives lots of advice on how to set up ads properly. Leo works at his linotype machine across from the choice is Lean tender "Budget" Beef or Canada Grade "A" "fled Ribbon Beef "BUDGET" BEEF (Canada Grade "C") IS LEANER because it is fed on grass or silage which produces beef with a much lower fat content, . . IS GUARANTEED TENDER because it is mechanically tenderized at a central proces- sing plant by a Ross tenderizing Machine containing 518 tiny needle-like knives which invisibly sever the connective tissue of the meat. This machine adds nothing to the meat, takes nothing away, causes no change in taste, texture or colour. No chemicals or other additives are used. COOKS QUICKER because it is mechanically tenderized, the natural juices flow more freely through the meat, thereby reducing the cooking time. We recommend the use of a good meat thermometer to monitor the cooking. IS PRICED LOWER because it can be produced at considerably reduced costs to the primary beef producer. "Budget Beef" can be marketed at prices 20' to 40' per pound lower than Grade "A" Beef.
