We would 'again call attention to the fact that news items which are sent into this office without signature cannot be used. Recently we received a marriage announcemene without so much as a scribbled•initial to tell from whom it came; Anyone who would take the troubleto think of the matter at all would know that no reputable news- pliper eoiilili°ake tlte'responsibility of publishing notice of a marriage with- out proper proof of same. Waren such unsigned news items conte to hand one must take the trouble to verify thele, if such means are within reach. If not, or if the item is not of sufficient importance to justify the trouble of seeking veri- fication, it goes into the wastepaper basket. - ' The.News-Record wants the news,. it:always oh the alert for it and spends much time seeking news, If any item:>sent in •by any one of aur many friends.does not appear it is. not because we do not appreciate the news, we always appreciate news and also the thought and trouble in send- ing it in. But,oftem it is because it came unsigned -and verification was not at hand. Sign your name every time. We would also urge that it .be sent in early, right after the event. Nothing' riles an editor much more than to be expected to publish an at, count of an event a week or two af- ter it 'happen. - It is "news" we -want. WHAT ABOUT NO. 48? ..
