Lue o one o many newspaper stops 'n baaackl Well, My summer newspaper circuit tour has brought me back to Lucknow for two weeks while Pat is on a mach needed vacation I'm sure, My whole summer has. been spent travelling, around to the different newspapers in the area. filling in for editorial staffs' vacations. My tour has taken me from Gaderich trk Clinton to.. Lucknow and certainly has been an adventure, I came to Lucknow last week from Clinton where I was filling infor the paper's typesetterfor two weeks, After that experi- once, I have come to believe. that the typesetter has one of the most physi, catty gruelling jobs, in the newspaper buSiness. I. typed "correspondence after correspondence, obit- uary after obituary, news, release after news release. ` 1 .had 'to quickly throw away my hunting and pecking typing style for something a. tittle faster so Local t could keep up with the pines and piles of informa- tion that needed to be typed before deadline. It just never seemed to stop. It took me a couple of days to uncurl my hands which had ceasedinto the, typing; positionns. I had worked in Contest for a couple of years as 4 reporter, and I never real- ized how much work the typesetter did until 1 had to fill in her shoes. They' were definitely big shoes to fill, It has been a lot of fun tbaugh travelling from office to shite. I'have met a tot of interesting people, not only in the offices, but in the communities ars, ,well: . And I am once, again amazed at the enormous. amount of spirit this com- munity has. Every time I. come here there has always= leen Kane project the villagers have pulled together on and have suc- cessfully accomplished, An example this time is the Food Grains Bank. For so many volunteers from all the differentt churches in the area to come togeth er and to accomplish what they have accomplished: in such a short time is .amaz- ing. It was nice to see their efforts recognized last week by being videotaped for a television. program, Hopefully the spirit .and hard. work of this casnntu- nity will be broadcast for all to see. Well, I always de enjoy my time in Lucknow, but I will be off to another newspaper next "week, and another after that - I..hope I don't: forget where; all of this travelling gettsconfus- ing sometimes. And. once all. the . vacations are over and everyone settles back to work, I think I'll take a. small vacation myself - but l think'Y'fl stay close to home, I.'vc.done'enough travelling for one surmmer.
