Every lodge, church body or social organization should have sonic representative who will promptly and carefully after its news report- ing. if you think some organization has better news service than your own, it Is probably because that or- ganization looks after such matters better. Write your items and send them In when possible. Or telephone them to No. 30, but please don't ask that long lists of names be taken over telephone, as it not only re- quires much time, but is fruitful In possibilities of error. Above all, be early. Never watt till tate on Thursday to send an item that can be sent in days before, The New Era telephone number is 30 and at nights 95. Fix them In your mind.
