TAXI DAY or NIGHT Phone 65 JIM CAMERON All Passengers Insured PUBLICITY IS TAWOMPAINT TOPIC) M comoorcn (Continued from page 1) week may not be werth printing next week, If possible haVe your own Kress reporter, but failing that, let the repenter of the local paper know well in ,advance of your future pro- gram so that if it Is important, he can cover it and write the story of the meeting. Do not let the W, down by lack of .publicity;" Miss liquid of the London Free Press outlined five main points that she felt all reporters for Women's Institute meetings should follow, "First, develop a news sense, learn to reeognige what is news, and What is not news, Second, put first things first and second things second, and leave out the non essentials, such as 'the times were read by', Third be brief, because newspaper space to- day is at a premium, Fourth, get names of people ocrrectly, And last, if you do 'not type your reports, write legibly." In closing Miss Houck ad- vised Institute reporters to let editors know about programs well in advance, and if possible to personally meet tlieween's editor of the paper con- cerned, Discussioeg the question of publicity from .the view-point of radio, Miss Brophy . stressed the following points in good reporting, accuracy, speed, style and deliberation in selection of a reporter, "Supply the highlights, be clear and concise, and what is very important in radio,supply the proper pronun- ciation of word that the announcer may mispronounce. If a person's name is difficult to pronounce, or has a strange, different pronunciation, in- dicate this by some means, spell it out phonetically or as it sounds. The spok- en word has a terrific impact and once uttered, cannot he recalled. In report- ing, adhere to the station's deadlines, The time element is very important in radio, It is the prime advantage radio claims over other media of publicity." "In selecting your press reporter," concluded Miss Brophy, "see that you choose one who is news-minded, has enough time to do the job properly, and who knows the difference be- tween press and radio reporting." Final speaker on the panel was Mrs. Maud Kerr, Women's Editor of the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mrs. Kerr emphasized that the good reporter will not leave in the minds of the readers any questions unan- swered, and will tell the readers all they want to know. She urged report- ers to use plain English, "simple langage•as the easiest to understand." "It is. always wise to study thor- oughly the paper for which you are writing,"„enentiaued the speaker, "so that you will know the items that are wanted and. the kind of material that is never used." "When there are speeches to report," said Mrs. Kerr, try to secure a copy so that you will not run any danger of misquoting the speaker." She stressed the value of good pictures, and how "a good pic- ture is worth a thousand words." She invited more reports from Ontario Institute meetings, in order that the members of the Institute in other provinces might know what their sister in Ontario were doing. Publica- tions with national coverage, stated looking for such information, stated Mrs. Kerr. Following the speaking of the panel members, the meeting was thrown open to questions and a lively discus- sion period followed.

RECREATION COUNCIL PROTESTS DECISION TO END GRANTS (Continued from page 1) minor hockey players; conducting a four-weeks' drama course. The Concert Series, arranged by the Recreation Council in co-opera- tion with the Department of Educa- tion, has presented such autstanding entertainers as Lubka Kolessa, the Canadian Little Symphony, the How- ard Cabel Orchestra, Andrew Mac- Millan, Elizabeth Bentley Guy and many others. The council feels that the sucess of the summer playground program alone would justify the support of this program, For the past three summers the playground program has been the highlight of the organ- ization's work and 1950 was one of the most successful years in this re- spect, Attendance reached a new high with an average of 113 daily and a total attendance for the 41 days of 4633. A Junior Play School for children up to eight was held each morning at the high school and the average attendance was 59. The senior playground program was highlighted by the swimming classes conducted in July. Attendance at the swimming classes was about 63 each day and out of 117 registered 40 passed tests comparable to the Red Cross tests, while the remainder were taught water safety and basic swimming. After three weeks' swimming for the senior program, arts and crafts were taught and sports and hikes supervised. The closing of the play- ground for the summer was mark- ed by the annual playground concert presented in the town hall and at- tended by interested people and a great many of the parents. The summer sports program in- cluded softball, with boys' juvenile and girls' junior teams entered in the WOAA. Approximately 40 boys and girls participated and the juvenile team went into the group finals. Six- ty-five boys received the benefit of a baseball school held last spring and at the conclusion of the course six teams were formed to make up a town league and an all-star team was entered In the WOAA. This team captured the Pee-Wee "A" title and advanced to the OBA semi-finals. Track and field world was taught in conjunction with the summer play- ground program and two field meets were held. The tennis club was re- organized and work was done on the repairing of the courts. A four- player team was entered for com- petition at the WOSSA tournament in London and made a very credit- the championships two years consec: able showing. A touch football team utively.

He predicted that within a very few years boys who have learned hockey in the WOAA will be providing good mater- ial for the NHL teams. Tommy Ivan extended his congrat- ulations to the champion Spitfires and said they were a credit not only to. their town but to their manager. It is men like Mr. Stainton, said the Red Wings coach, who keep big-time hockey on its feet, for they keep the small clubs in operation, providing, placed when directed against recre- a steady flow of player material, Mr. noon, Admittedly, recreation does cost the taxpayers $1600.00 a year, Ivan expressed his surprise and plea which amounts to slightly more than sure at finding artificial ice in a town this size. one mill-certainly not a heavy bur- of den on a community such as ours.

Wingham has been made the model and envy of many other towns of comparable size through the recreational activities which have been sponsored here.
