 This is one of a series of articles telling the story of your newspaper. The Water bury Democrat is presenting these articles in connection with National Newspaper Week, Oct 1-S.
 I'M your newspaper artist
 I draw the cartoons, the sketches from life, the comic strips, the daily chuckles, the maps, and the decorative designs that brighten up your newspaper.
 I'm not Michelangelo Under my hand the white Bristol-board gradually takes form as the India ink scratches out of my pen. Is it art? Well, if art has anything to do with life, then maybe it is.
 The people in my comic strip are real. May be they're more real to you than the people across the street. They are your daily com- panions, as they are mine. If they don't ring true, they die-and that's more than can be said for the people across the street. co part of my job, the light part of it, is D being court jester to His Majesty, the American People There's another, more serious part to my job. I am also the "X' that marks for you the specific spot in a world picture obscured by confusing details. must bring out the highlights from the unimportant mass in this picture.
 Sometimes I do this literally, carefully guiding my airbrush over a photograph = bringing out a thin, important line here; toning down jumbled, unimportant, confus- ing backgrounds there.

LOCAL TEACHERS.
 TEST ABILITIES.
Named to State Board of Examiners Modern
 Languages

Clarence L. Tappin, head of the department of modern languages at Crosby high school, and Pierre Prom ovost, wilby teacher, are on a state committee to examine the qualifca- tions of teachers of modern lan- guages. The next tests are scheduled for January.
 In line with the campaign to ob- tain the best possible teachers of foreign languages, the state board of education Is bringing into play the microphone and photograph to re- cord the pronunciation ability of candidates. Prospective teachers read prepared copy containing words with pronunciation difficulties, dramatic passages, literary prose, and poetic selections in French, Latin, Italian, German or Spanish, into the micro phone. Recordings are made which are listened to by judges to deter mine whether the candidates have the language at their command.
 The notorious deficiencies of lan- guage teachers throughout the coun- try resulted last year on action by the state board. The action took the form of requiring candidates to pass both written and oral tests.
 The committee of which MT. Tap pin and MT. Pronovost are members, is headed by Professor Arsene Coteau of Connecticut University.

Teamwork It's sometimes interesting to read the news behind the news Teamwork between United Press reporters in Rome and Berlin Thursday gave the world first of the plan for meeting between Adolf Hitler and BenitO MuSsOln at Brenner Pass First word of the scheduled meeting was Ob- tained in Rome by Reynolds Packard, United Press Bureau manager. Before sunrise in the U. S. A. he made quick checkup and was convinced that Mussoln already had left for Brenner Pass but could get official confirmation of this information Instead of using the normal communication lines to New York Packard telephoned his dispatch via Berlin. There Frederick C. Oechsner, Berlin manager checked with Naz and flashed the story to New fork several editions ahead of any other service. And that's how the gets out.

 "Unreality" will be the subject of the LessOn-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Deuter- onomy 4:39: Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
 Bible readings include the follow ing passages: T cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: And said, This is my infirmity: but will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. <. I will mediate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great God as our God? Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people" (Ps. 77: 1, 2 to list colon, 10, i2. l3, IS to comma.)
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "ecience and Health with Key to the ecFiptures'' by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: 'sThe Christian Scientists argument rests on the Chrlsbianly scientific basis of being.

YOU MUST HAVE A FOUNDATION
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good evening.

This is the house that Priscilla planned, But somehow the blueprints got out of hand The stairway didn't get just the right turn, You can't build miracles Priscilla did learn You'ye got to plan for every radiator and faucet, And not forget space for at least one closet. A large kitchen is fine, yes, that's so, But not to the exclusion of living room, you know One should not forget the necessity for floors And that generally speaking most rooms have doors Build dream house, yes, if you must But one you can get into or it will be a bust, Something that will be good habitaton, Not like Priscila's, without foundation.
