'I wanted particularly to attend, net only to meet old friends, but to witness one of .the most reward- ing ceremonies the Association undertakes each year. This is the recognition and tribute paid to the "Newspaper- man of the year," Thunderous applause greeted the choice for 1960, and a very surprised editor heard his name called. "Frank MacIntyre, would you please come forward?" asked the chairman- of the.„-selection committee. In reporting the Well deserved eulogy read during the presenta- tion to this outstanding weekly newspaperman, I want to take the opportunity of saying a few things to you readers, which your edit- ors cannot very • well say. abOut themselves. But first, why dicl, Frank, Mac- Intyre rate this award? Because he is the very epitome of the "grassroots editor", the spark that ignites community spirit, beamed through all levels of newspapering in hjs weekly, "The Dundalk Her- ald." There is very- little ever happens in this town of 863 people that the 2,219 sworn circulation does not hear about. Frank lVfacIntyre-- not only sup- ports community effort through the columns of his paper, but through active . participation by playing in the band,- teaching Sun- day School, supporting the Boy Scout movement and giving lead- ership in all causes peculiar to a town's activity. This remarkable circulation figure shows his 'affin- ity with his community ,and his constructive influence. Cooper-Morley (By our Hens-ell Correspondent) Rev. Hugh Wilson officiated at a wedding ceremony in Elimville United Church when Shirley El- aine Morley and Alvin Floyd ,Cooper exchanged marriage vows. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Morley, Exeter, ,and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Cooper, Elimville. The bride was lovely in a for- mal gown of chantilly lace and nylon tulle over slipper satin. The fitted bodice of chantilly lace featured lily-point sleeves and a sabrina neckline embroidered with seed pearls and iridescent sequins. A wide overlay of chantilly lace enhanced the bouffant skirt, A jewelled tiara held her French illusion veil which was embroider- ed with a heart design, and she carried red roses and stephanotis. Matron of honor was Mrs. Don- ald Parsons, Hensall, and brides- maids were Miss Barbara Ann Morley and Miss Marilyn Hicks, Exeter, who were gowned alike in lace over taffeta. Flower girls were Susan Parsons, Hensall, and Karen Morley, Exeter, sister of the bride. They were frocked in yellow nylon over taffeta. Donald 'Parsons, Hensel', was groomsman, and Edward Skinner and Edward Hern, Exeter, ushered the guests. For travelling the bride wore a beige wool dress with 'brown and light blue accessories and a cor- sage of yellow roses. They will live in Elimville. 0 HOSPITAL AUXILIARY TO MEET ON MARCH 1 The regular meeting of the Wo- men's Hospital Auxiliary will be held in the Nurses' Residence on Tuesday, March 1, at 8 p.m, 0 Mrs. Annie McNaughton Services were held for Mrs. Ann Jane (Annie) MeNaughton in A.

Readers have been known to be- lieve that weekly editors have nothing to do from the moment the paper is off the press, until the following Monday morning. What a fallacy! It is after the Paper is "put to bed" that most eaters assume their hardest tasks, for in the success of the local pap- er is reflected the success, of the Community. A newspaper is not just so many printed sheets, but a business as well. Management is as important as editing and sales- manship accounts for the success, or failure, of any local paper. Therefore, your editor must be many things to many people. Above all, an editor, if he is worth his salt, must have a hide like a rhinoceros to withstand critical, barbs, the vision of a Lincoln and the diligence of a Diogenes, ever searching for truth and upholding progress. Frank Macintyre is all of these things and it gives me great pleas- ure to salute "Mr. Ontario News- paperman for 1960," not only 'as representative of this profession in Ontario, but because his efforts is representive of all weekly news- paper editors who are making such an outstanding contribution to their communities right across Canada.
