Simple Rules Listed to Assist
Clubs Publicity Chairmen
BY FRANCES LIDE,
Women's Club Editor.

the Sunday paper and women's
club copy for this issue OF The
Star should be in the hands Of
the editor by Wednesday, pre-
ferably at noon.
When the season is under way
there is Sunday column for ad-
vance announcements, commonly
referred to as the calendar. This
lists the name of the organiZa-
ton, the day, hour and place Of
the meeting, and the principal
feature of the session-often the
name of the speaker with his
subject.
If the meeting is one of un-
usual Importance, it may justify
a special article in addition to
the calendar notice. The thought-
full publicity chairman will write
the brief notice on one piece Of
paper and the more detailed ac-
count on another.
Remember the importance Of
the Wednesday deadline for Sum-
day copy. 1t usually holds un-
less arrangements are made in
advance for handling the copy
otherwise.
Another little point. If your
story is intended for Sundays
paper, clearly indicate that at the
top of the article.
Try to Send in Daily Copy
At Least a Day Ahead.
If you want your club article
to appear in a daily edition Of
The Star, mark it for the day
preferred or, perhaps. immediate
release" Try to have it in the
editors Office day ahead Of the
release date. If this isn't pos
sible. send the article in-"special
delivery if necessary-in time to
reach the editor by 9 a m. the day
of its release.

Sign Each Piece of Copy

concisely. Fine writing" usually

Stories of interest to a large

those concerning only a small

All publicity chairmen are dis.
appointed at times because their
stories are cut or fail to appear
at all. The amount of news and
the space available often account
for this.
