It was unfortunate that the two
musical concerts presented here
last week had dates so close to-
gether. Each Of the performances
was an outstanding musical event
and was greatly appreciated by their
audiences. But coming so close
together it prevented many people
from attending both performances
which they would have liked to do.
They were both good shows and
were credit to the schools they
represented.

COLD TYPE

-
We were called" today on a
heading we carried last week over
a story furnished by the local well
fare agency. In writing heads for
newspaper articles the aim always
is to give the vital point of the story
in the required number of letter
units" in the size type adopted as
the papers "style."
This limitation in type sometimes
necessitates the use of synonyms,
which often fail to convey just the
exact meaning, but in all cases come
as near to it as the editors ability
will permit. In this particular
case, however. this excuse cannot be
offered, as there was no necessity
for a change of words. The heading
complained of, expressed as nearly
as possible the gist of the story,
combined with other information
cleaned from other sources.
The heading stated that after the
first of the month there would be
no more WPA money available as
the state and county funds for this
purpose were depleted. While the
story itself did not state that fact
in so many words, it was the under
standing Of the publisher that the
story was studied attempt to
convey that fact with softening
effect.
It appears that when the powers
that be announce there will be no
more WPA they don't really mean
it-but merely want to cut down a
bit. Anyway, we're sorry If we mis-
lead anyone with the heading we
added to the story.
