Through The Times the powerful
personality OF Leigh wilson was
exerted day after day during that
period toward making the National
Capital q better community, mate
rally, morally, mentally. and spir-
itua1ly. For he believed that the
advancement of the community
and the advancement of the COM
munity newspaper are inter-de-
pendent.
To one who worked with Wilson
on The Times during those years
and who ever since has been closely
associated with him personally and
professionally, the influence Of this
mans mind and character upon the
community life Of Washington Il
almost tangible thing.
Left d. G. Better City
washington was better city
and The Washington Times a better
newspaper when Leigh Wilson left
than they We're when he came.
The contributions OF public Off.
Gals to community progress are
usually well known. The contriou.
tons OF men whose lights shine i'm.
personally through newspapers are
seldom acclaimed or understood.
When Wilson came to The Times
1t was In the days Of 'muck-ralk.
ing" The yellow" newspaper was
In Its heydey.
His Advice to Staff
The prevailing color tinged The
Times. Wilson sensed 1t and, with
fine irony, tainted the news staff
with the following advice:
First, you need TO get rid Of a
lot Of cobweb misconceptions
about the newspaper business.
1t is popular fallaey that peo-
pie read a newspaper for the.
news. That is ALL wrong. Hang
the news. That Is, kill It, MAIN
1t. slaughter 1t, chuck 1t.
The people want to be reformed.
So reform them. They are a
poor miserable bunch of fossil
lied boobs. Tell EN- so every day.
They will like you for 1t, and
they'll buy the paper.
Let who will furnish the news.
Hand them features. Muckrake
the town. Every knock is a
bOost-for circulation. Knock
some poor suckers head every
day. Swat the fly and the Com
They'll hate you. And buy the
paper.
News? Forget it. Take an en-
cyclopedia or the files and brush
it up Give 'em recipes. Give
'em advice, pictures, Mysteries,

eyes and causes eyestrain and wrinkles

this and strengthen the eyes. Many

that they have had their eyes restored
