Tickets Available At The Door $5.00 COUPLE Following lunch, the correspondents were addressed by R. G, Shrier, president of the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association. Having come up through the newspaper business at the advertising end, he said, he greatly admired people with an ability to write. He said that good news copy helps to sell ad- vertising space. He expressed his appreciation to the correspon- dents for their work and said their contributions were of great importance to their newspapers, After Mr. Shrier's address, the correspondents broke into smaller groups, each with a discussion leader drawn from the staff of the Huron-Perth newspapers. At that time they were given a fictitious set of circumstances for a story. They discussed how to organize the facts they had, wrote a brief news item using those facts and then exchanged their work and shared' ideas. A tour of the Goderich Signal- Star plant in Goderich completed the seminar. Staff was on hand to provide a thorough look at newspaper production. Those present at the seminar came to appreciate the complexity of putting a newspaper together. Attending from this area were: Joy Scheifele, Ailsa Craig; Miss Ella Morlock, Crediton; Mrs. Heber Davis, Saintsbury; Mrs. Irwin Rader, Dashwood; Mrs. Ruth Sheppard, Parkhill; Mrs. ATTEND SEMINAR — Several area ladies who act as news correspondents for The Times-Advocate attend- ed a seminar in Clinton on Friday.

Grants for upgrading announced The Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue, has announced that a total of $63,267 in sales tax has been rebated during the first year of a special program designed to assist the permanently physical- ly handicapped. The program provides a rebate of the seven per cent provincial retail sales tax paid on all new or used motor vehicles specially adapted for permanently physically handicapped in- dividuals living in Ontario but unable to use public transporta- tion. Non-profit associations purchasing such vehicles are also eligible for the rebate. In both cases, the primary use of the vehicle must be to transport the permanently physically han- dicapped. In a summary of the program's over the past year, Mrs. Scrivener said that to September 15, 1977, $53,940 in rebates had been paid to individuals. Four- teen of the 166 total claims were submitted by non-profit organizations, for a total rebate of $9,327. "I am pleased that my Ministry, with the assistance of the Ontario Advisory Council on the Physically Handicapped, has been able to initiate this program," Mrs. Scrivener stated, "and I am most gratified by the results to date. The value of the program is clearly evi- dent, not only in terms of monetary relief for the han- dicapped, but more importantly by increasing the mobility of On- t a rio' s handicapped and physically disabled. "And this," Mrs. Scrivener emphasized, "is surely a benefit that cannot be measured in dollars and cents." The rebate must be applied for within two years of payment of the sales tax, and must be ac- companied by the vehicle purchase invoice indicating price and tax paid, a copy of the in- voice for the supply and installa- tion of the special equipment, and a statement describing the disability of the person using the vehicle. Applicants for the rebate on vehicles must also sub- mit a statement indicating that the vehicle will not be operated at a profit, ZURICH REC BADMINTON PROGRAM * Registration Oct. 27 7:30 p.m. * Men's, women's and mixed * Runs 16 sessions If unable to attend registrations please Jerry Rader at Zurich Arena 236-4969 contact FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. ONE STEAK $3.50 EXTRA DINNER $1.00 SCOTT & ALICE'S RESTAURANT Formerly Les Pines Restaurant VALUED WORKERS — A correspondents seminar of the Huron-Perth Newspaper Network was termed an overwhelming success.

WOODEN Principal SOUTH .11UROls1 DISTRICT GRANDMA'S SUBMARINES OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK EXETER 235-2311 Tour Goderich printing plant Area correspondents attend seminar, Over 50 district correspondents and newspaper representatives from the community newspapers in Huron-Perth attended a day long seminar at Wesley Willis. United Church in Clinton on Friday. The seminar, sponsored by the Bluewater Regional Newspapers Network, was conducted in order to educate the correspondents in newspaper style and procedures and to let them know that their contributions are valued. Barry Wenger, editor and publisher of the Wingham Advance-Times, opened the seminar with a word of ap- preciation to the correspondents. He said that the correspondents were not simply self-serving but were providing a service for others. Correspondents, said Wenger, have a sense of loyalty to their communities and often keep these communities alive with their news contributions, Susan White, editor of the Huron Expositor in Seaforth spoke next giving ideas to correspondents about how to encourage participation among the readers in their areas. She stressed the importance of ap- proaching new people in the community and asking for their co-operation. Jim Hagarty, Mitchell Advocate reporter, gave tips to the correspondents to help them recognize a special feature or news story. He spoke of the human element in certain stories as well as the prominence and eminence of the people in the stories. He urged the correspondents to call their newspapers with any feature story ideas or news tips. The newspaper staff could then follow up these ideas in greater detail including photographs. Jim Fitzgerald, editor of the Clinton News-Record, spoke to the correspondents about the style of writing. He stressed the importance of proper spelling and grammar. When writing up meetings, he said, irrelevant details like the number of the hymns sung, should be left out. However, he told the correspondents to include as many names as possible in their copy. Joanne Walters, Goderich Signal-Star reporter, explained to the correspondents what happens to their news copy once it reaches the newspaper office. She said that first the editing marks such as paragraph indentations are put on the copy. The news is grouped under headings such as church news and social news. Corrections are made, personal pronouns are taken out and headlines are written. The copy, Beginning this year the Ontario she said, then goes to the type government will provide grants setters who type it into long to eligible municipalities to be column strips.
