Feature IS BETTER
Than PLATITUDES IN
CLUB WORK STORIES
Eva Finkle, Fargo Forum, Asks
for the Unusual Rather
Than Routine -
BY MISS EVA FINKLE
Society Editor, The Fargo Forum

Public attention Is easily caught
and held by the outstanding or unique
event. The more outstanding the
event the more attention 1t will re.
ceive. This has proven true in the
commercial field and 1t Is Just as ap-
plicable to the club field. Publicity
for club work is a comparatively new
venture and for that reason Is not
understood as well as 1t might be.
The feature story is q specialized
form Of publicity work. and one that
can be made highly interesting and
entertaining.
All too often. the accounts Of club
activities are confined to routine mat
ters. It is true that q certain amount
OF routine must be attended to but
Is that the main feature of club work?
Is not your club doing q special piece
OF work. along civic improvement
lines, child welfare, library or any
other OF several things that would
properly come within the province of
= women's organization to do? Are
you putting that information over to
the public? Your own small group
or community knows about it, but
how many others are there that know
that you have a definite piece of
work to do? People in the next coun-
ty, town or state r interested in
your activities and are anxious to
know what you r doing, IL your
publicity chairman will but tell them
Of it.
The who. why, what, when, how.
and where. the essential features of
q news story, are to be contained in
the feature story as well as In any
other news item
Suppose you decided to support q
civic Improvement project In your
community. What induced you to
take up the work. why did you decide
on the particular subject. when was
the work first launched. how, by what
means and methods was 1t put over,
and where was 1t established? Those
are the things the public wants to
know and which you must tell if your
publicity Is to be acceptable.
