that more than 500 automatic tele-

with the year just closed the AS

Iloyalty and enterprise of the staff have
been evidenced by the work which
has been accomplished. The member
ship will have noticed that in the de-

changes have been made. Iroa dlY,
these changes were conceived upon
the idea that with intensification of eff
fort. based upon ideals upon which the
staff always has labored, the news re-
port would encompass more com

ing. This, without increasing the
quantity. but by rather improving the
quality of the news report.
Granted that the subjects to be
reported are decent, there has been no
intention to avoid any matters having
news interest. AS always, however,
the staff has continued to strive for
the first essential, which is truthful
reporting. Although there has been
no diminution of effort to obtain mat
ters of prime Importance. economic,
political and social, there has been
greater effort to obtain news of the
activities of women, of art, music,

and moving pictures; of science and
