How One Correspondent
By MARY X. WARWICK

If perhaps your idea of news
paper publisher, and his editors
would lead you to believe them
men of seclusion, given to shut
ting themselves away in some
hidden inner sanctum where they
might pursue their important jobs
! in peace and quiet, then you'd do
well to make the acquaintance of
the men who run the Stromberg
Newspapers.
Very suddenly last week three
ladies from Elkridge, Howard
County, decided to visit Ellicott
City and naturally the news
paper office was point of great
interest. So, they stopped in and,
quite as though they had been ex-
pected, their hosts took time from
their occupations and gave their
time graciously, conducting them
through the entire plant.
1t was an interesting experience
to see the way in which a news
paper is run. All the way from the
files of copies dating back many
years to the cleaning black
presses themselves, they saw in
detail just how the paper comes
into being.
They were shown how the copy
is set up, some of it by hand
They we're SHOWN the "morgue,' a
newsman's term for the pictures
of important personages kept on

April 8, when their light plane was
forced down on a fight from Ed

The two men waited near their

that other aircraft would spot
them. then set out armed only with
a % caliber rife and a hunting
knife.
Traced Course by Rivers.
They had a map Of the region
and noted that all the streams in
the area flowed into a river which
went near Grande Prairie. Retrac-
ing their route on maps after they
reached civilization. 1t appeared
that they crashed near the Smokey
river, about $50 miles north Of
Grande Prairie near the foot Of the
Rocky mountains.

suited for hiking through the Cana
dian wilds. They we're wearing
leather jackets. moccasins and me-

I'VE made packs of our para
chutes and set out down what
proved to be the Smokey river"
the elder Ledward said. THE going
was too rough on the bank, so we
walked on the ice As we went along
we made maps Of the streams and
checked them with our printed
maps to make sure we were on the
right course.

Had One Sandwich.
A deer was shot the second day
out. about the time the single ham
sandwich which they had carried in
the plane was gone. A second deer
was shot later and roasted Even

open fire, made welcome fare.
We finally came on a trapper's
cabin and found a little tea. some
beans and a chunk of salt pork"

wolves were near but we didn't see
them. II we had, we would have
shot them for food. At night we
could hear them bowling"
After 10 days In the wilds, the
Ledwards ran into Mr.. and Mrs.
James Cochrane of Grande Prairie,
who were on their way In a small
boat to cabin on the Wapiti river.
Unframed except for hunger and
swollen feet. the two men were
taken to the Cochrane cabin and ate
