"I found out it was ageedidea to have contacts with the poilice, the doctor and the funeral director. I did them favors and they helped me to get the news." She was always quick on the trigger where news was con- cerned. "The time the big wind blew down Hurondale Dairy I phoned CFPL and it was on the air five minutes after it happened. A few minutes later they phoned the police here and asked about the cyclone," "There's been no cyclone here," he said, "He hadn't even heard yet that the Wilding had blown down," she laughs. Her ear was always peeled for news. "I remember one day a friend dropped in and asked me if I'd heard that Mrs. Adelbert Smith had just had her 21st baby, I said, "Hand me the phone," and in a few minutes the Toronto and London papers had the news of Canada's largest family." "Oh, it was lots of fun, but I worked hard, too, I stopped at nothing to get my news." It was this attitude that built up her reputation of being able to scoop some of the professionals in the business. The veteran reporter says she tried never to put anything in the papers that would hurt anyone, "Everyone helped me" she says, "People were always wonderful to assist me getting the news."

"Rape, fatal accidents, cyclones, tornadoes, intent to murder , . you name it, I've written it," Last week Mrs. Redden closed her typewriter on her colorful correspondent's work which she started by reporting news of the area to CKNX in 1940. Through hard work and determination she built up her business with the news media until it included three radio stations (T.V. coverage came later), four weekly newspapers and four dailies. "When I started, I had to learn the hard way . and I made plenty of mistakes. I didn't realize I had to check my stories to make sure they were true," Mrs. Redden, recalls with a chuckle, two occasions she phoned the radio station to report the deaths of two men, only to find out the deceased were far from dead. "One of the families got the news over the air while they were eating their supper. You can imagine how upset they were. Jt UCW meeting Unit IV U,C.W. met December 2, with Mrs. J.

He said eight new men have been hired under the plan and four others, who are usually laid off during the winter, will be kept on to carry out the program, He told the council the men will spend the time cutting down the hundreds of dead elm trees on the Authority's property, repairing park tables and constructing and painting signs. "The government has pur- chased two new chain saws for us to assist with this work," he said. Mr. Hay informed council members 1971 had been an outstanding year for the Authority. "With the Bayfield-Maitland Questions need for county radio system "I was probably the most unpopular gent at the meeting," Councillor Harold Knight told fellow-councillors when reporting on the Mutual Fire Association meeting he and firechief Dave Sangster attended in November. "When I questioned the need for a county-wide radio network system one of the guys nearly flew off the table." Knight said there were about three men who were "pushing hard" for the system. "I say if they want a county net-work why not sell it to County Council. That way all municipalities would pay for it through the county levy instead of making small municipalities like us to put out at least $2,000 for equipment."
