JOHNSTON—In loving inemory
of a dear husband, father and
grandfather, Sperling Johnston,
who passed away Oct. 21, 1976.
Beautiful memories are all that is
left
Of one- we loved and will never
forget.
Just as you were you will always
be,
Treasured forever in our mem-
ories.
—Ever remembered by wife
Beth and family.
BONDI—In loving memory of a
dear father, Charles Bondi, who
passed away Oct. 26, 1964, and a
dear nigher, who passed away
April 23, 1976.
There is no parting from those we
love,
No distance can divide,
For each day in memory's
garden,
We still walk side by side.
Wherever life may take us,
Whatever we may do,
The memory of the years we
shared
Will keep us close to you.
—Always loved and remem-
bered by son Carl, daughter-in-
law LaVonne, and grandsons,
Charles, Carl, Barry, John and
Christopher.
GARAGE SALE—One way of clearing out all that you have collected over the years is to

Rural correspondents
attend news seminar
The role of the rural corres-
pondent in community journa-
lism was the theme of a day -long
seminar on Thursday off last week
when 45 contributors to the com-
munity newspapers in Huron and
Perth Counties gathered at Wes-
ley -Willis Church in Clinton. They
were joined by many of the
-editors and reporters who make
up the editorial staffs of the 12
community newspapers.
The day's agenda, arranged
and chaired by Mrs. Shirley Kel-
ler, editor of The Goderich Sig-
nal -Star, was intended to empha-
size the importance of the rural
correspondent in the news
gathering field, and to illustrate
the ways. in which their work
could contribute mast forcefully
to community life.
Following Mrs. Keller's open-
ing remarks and her . outline of
the day's activities, she intro-
duced Barry Wenger, -publisher
of The Wingham Advance -Times,
who spoke on the importance of
the rural correspondent to the
newspaper. Asking the corres-
pondents why they spend so much
time and effort reporting on the
news in their rural communities,
he turned to his own analysis.
Loyalty to one's neighborhood,
solid respect for the essentials of
home, friends and family were
cited as some of the reasons for
the rural writers' devotion. Mr.
Wenger said that the identity of.
many rural communities is kept
alive through the weekly reports
contributed by the newspaper
correspondents, without which
many a small centre would soon
become nothing more than the
unnamed neighbor of a larger
town.
Service Friday
for Harold Dennis
Funeral service was held Fri-
day, October 14, at the R. A.
Currie and Son Funeral Home for
Harold William Dennis of RR 2,
Wingham. Rev. K. Barry Pass-
more of Wingham United Church
officiated and interment followed
in Wingham Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Orville
Welsh, Arthur Stone, Jack Seitz,
Gordon Dennis, Jim Newell and
Russel Dennis. Flower bearers
were Troy Harrett, Trevor and
Trent Harrett, Jim and Jeffery
Dennis.
Mr. Dennis died suctdenly in
Woodstock on Tuesday, October
11, in his 70th year. He was a son
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Dennis and was born in Turn -
berry Township on August 7, 1908.
He recived his elementary school
education in Wingham and in his
early life was employed by West-
ern Foundry. From 1966 he was
employed by the Wingham and
District Hospital.
On March 28, 1936, he married
the former Elsie Steuernol in
Harriston. She survives, with one
daughter, Mrs. John (Joy) Har-
rett, Rft 7, Woodstock, and one
son James of RR 2, Wingham.
There are six grandchildren; two
sisters, Mrs. James (Annie)
Owens, London, and Mrs. Ken
(Rosetta) Fleming, Southamp-
ton ; and ode brother, Wilfred
Dennis of Woodstock. He was
predeceased by a brother Arnold.
Getting the News
Susan White, editor of The Sea -
forth Huron Expositor, dealt with
the means by which residents of a
community can be enco iraged to
provide news items for the
correspondent. She advised the
rural writers to seek out new
residents and encourage them .to
participate in neighborhood
activities. She told the corres-
pondents that they should main-
tain a wide variety of interests so
that news stories would be
diversified and would recognize
the interests of as many com-
munity residents as possible.
Mrs. White urged that corres-
pondents call their editors when-
ever the possibility for a news-
worthy picture arises and "make
sure your news is interesting to
the people in your community."
Jim Hagerty of The Mitchell
Advocate's reporting staff told
his listeners that there are about
eight different categories into
which news stories usually fall.
As an example of imminent news
he said, `.'If a big grey Cadillac
pulls up in front of your home and
a well dressed gentleman with a
flower in his lapel raps on the
door and he proves to be Mr. Tru-
deau asking if he may use your
telephone — that's imminent
news."
Each of the other seven cate-
gories were described in detail,
including .the unpleasant ones of
tragedy and disaster, which no
reporter likes to investigate, but
is duty-bound to do so.
Jim Fitzgerald, editor of The
Clinton News -Record, directed
his remarks to style — the way in
which words and sentences are'
put together to form a news story.
He listed several cardinal points
to be observed: spelling, clarity
of writing or typing, the what,
where, when, why and how of
each newf_ break, use of full
names as opposed to initials, and
strict observance off the news-
paper's deadlines.
The speaker also enlarged upon
the importance oc the reporter
getting to the bottm of a story
when rumors begin to circulate in
a community, so the public will
learn the facts rather than the
exaggerations.
• Mechanics of Editing
Joanne Walters of The Goder-
ich Signal -Star staff explained
the various steps a news story
must go thro,,gh after it reaches
the .newspaper office. She said
that all editors try to make as few
changes as possible in a corres-
pondent's work. Each writer has
an individual style and the editor
seeks to leave it unchanged.
However, errors in spelling and
grammar must be, corrected
before the story can be trans-
formed into photo type for the
week's issue.
Bill Batten, editor of The Exe-
ter Times -Advocate, dealt with
the "don'ts" — the various ways
in which a correspondent's
stories can leadto time-consum-
ing extra steps in the editing
process or, when badly written,
can actually misinform the
public.
He strongly emphasized the
fact that 'no correspondent need
suffer abuse from another resi-
dent of his or her community
when an error occurs. He did not
deny that errors creep into news
stories, but pointed out that con-
sidering the vast amount of
material which has to be. pro=
cessed for most papers within a
few days, it is amazing how small
the percentage of error remains.
Mr. Batten said that when an
irate reader calls the community
correspondent the latter should
sitnply tell the caller to deal with
the editor of the paper, who is the
responsible person in the news -
gathering chain.
Lunch Served
Lunch was served at the noon
hour by the ladies of the church
and following the lunch period
groups of the correspondents
were given a story to edit and a
second one, merely a set of facts,
from which a story could be
written. One member of a news-
paper staff sat in with each of the
groups.
Immediately after lunch R. G.
Shrier, president of Signal -Star
Publishers and currently presi-
dent of the Ontario Weekly News-
papers Association told the
gathering about the vast strides,
both mechanically and econ-
omically, which have been made
by community newspapers
during the past few years.
At 2:30 the assembly moved on
to Goderich, where the corres-
pondents were taken on a con-
ducted tour of the pressroom and
typesetting facilities at Signal -
Star Publishers. The 32 -page
offset press was rolling when the
visitors arrived — a sight which
leaves a lasting impression. Staff
members explained-tIf-e\various
electronic typesetting machines
and demonstrated modern
methods of page make-up.
