25 YEARS' SERVICE—Marion Duke, editor of The Listowel
Banner for 21 years was recognized for 25 years' service to the
paper at a dinner in her honor on Friday evening. IVIS. Duke joined
the newspaper staff in November of 1964. About 150 fellow
employees, former fellow employees, business associates, friends
and relatives attended the dinner. A special cake commemorating
the event is displayed by Ms, Duke.
Banner editor feted on
25 years in the business
Listowel Banner editor Marion
Duke was expecting a quiet Friday
evening dinner with fellow reporter
Jacquie Schildroth-Espensen at the
Country Inn.
Instead, a mob of 150Eawaited her
— politicians, munici al o cials,
current and former ce gue old
acquaintances and -a ed ther
admirers.
For four hours, Ms. Duke was
roasted, toasted, hugged and
applauded by those who'd come to
congratulate her on a quarter of a
century of service to The Listowel
Banner and her community.
Greeted at the door by reporter
Stephan Kleiser, Ms. Duke was flab-
bergasted but not entirely speech-
less.
"How crould you db this -to me?'y
she askedwith mock ching13 Wit-
ting her brother Mac, who'd trav-
elled from Dryden for the party,
sisters Betty McArthur from
Ottawa, Jeene Hooper of Mount
Forest, nieces Jennifer Hooper,
Kingston, Katherine Duke, Toronto
and friend Leslie Mousseau, Toron-
to, Ms. Duke exclaimed, "You're
here!”
And so was George Tatham, the
publisher who hired Marion Duke
in 1964, soon after her graduation
with honors from the University of
Western Ontario's journalism pro-
gram. Cy Bamford, her first editor
was there too, and Pearl Hay, for-
mer freelance writer -photographer,
and another 25 -year colleague,
Marion Roberts.
MP Dr. Harry Brightwell attend-
ed the party and MPP Hugh
Edighoffer sent a congratulatory
message.
Listowel Town Council was rep-
resented, and almost the entire
Municipal Office staff was in atten-
dance.
There were tributes from mem-
bers of the Board of Police Commis-
sioners, the Public Utilities Com-
mission, the Chamber of Commerce
and other civic organizations.
NO FIRECRACKERS
From the very beginning, Ms.
Duke was an exceptionally profi-
cient and energetic reporter, Mr.
Tatham said.
"She put her degree to work. You
never had to light a firecracker
under Marion."
Mr. Bamford recalled Ms. Duke's
reportorial accuracy and command
of the language. To have edited her
stories, he said, "would have been
a waste of my time."
Art Carl, former editor and pub-
lisher of The Palmerston Observer

Times, The Mount Forest Confeder-
ate and The Milverton Sun. Harry
Steele, founder of NCC and chair-
man -of the board, sent a congratu-
latory message.
Reporters trained by Ms. Duke
returned to Listowel for the party,
including Jim Adair, now a free-
lance writer in Toronto; Stephanie
Levesque, municipal reporter for
The Stratford Beacon -Herald;
Darivoj Jaksic who's studying at the
University of Toronto, and summer

BRAVE STANCE
Dr: Brightwell described Ms.
Duke as "part of the fabric of Lis-
towel" end expressed admiration
for her "brave stance" on political
issues.
He hasn't always agreed with
Ms. Duke, he admitted, "but she's
always been fair."
Mr. Edighoffer said Ms. Duke is a
credit to the.. profession she's served
with- distinction.
MayorBert Johnson spoke of Ms.
Duke's dedicated public service,
and Town Administrator Hartley
Fischer referred to Ms. Duke's pres-
tige in the community and the
many friends she's made.
Marlette Hemingway, chairper-
son of the Board of Police Commis-
sioners, said Banner readers trust
Ms. Duke to provide unbiased and
detailed accounts of meetings. Ms.
Duke's reports, Mrs. Hemingway
said, are probably the reason citi-
zens don't attend board meetings.
"They rely on Marion to report it
for them ... she's recorded the many
changes in this community since
1964." _
David Kilberg, former mayor and
former chairman of the Board of
Police Commissioners, said on the
rare occasions Ms. Duke didn't
attend meetings, "I always felt
much let down. We always func-
tioned better when Marion was
around." Ms. Duke, he said, "has
done a great job for the Town of
Listowel.
On behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce, president Mark Tar -
Bush commended Ms. Duke for
"well -researched, welt -reasoned
editorials".• `
"There's no doubt about her love
of, and loyalty, to Listowel," he
said.
OVERWHELMED
. "I can't believe you all paid to
cote here," quipped Ms. Duke
after she received a prolonged
standing ovation. "I'm just over-
'whelmed. But don't think for one
Bidit' Bgoing to make me nice."
er yfti with The Banner, she
said; "seem Mori like 25 months".
