EDITORIALS
NOT AN EASY JOB
Ray K. Dover, editor of the Valentine (Nebr.) News-
paper, in a recent column “RAYdiations discussed the
fact the job of publishing a hometown newspaper is not
an easy one.
Editor Dover’s comments were
“Publishing a hometown newspaper has many compen-
sations, but being well-like is not one of them. Everyone
hates the editor.
“An editor who takes a firm stand on controversial is-
sues, and tries to print all the news in an unbiased man-
ner, may be respected (in a fair-minded community) but
he will never be popular.
“Sooner or later such an editor will tread on the toes
of everyone who reads the newspaper, be he friend or
foe, neighbor or stranger.
“Prime sources of an editor’s woes are weddings,
obituaries and court news. The description of grandmoth-
er’s dress must be included in the wedding write-up and
uncle Joe’s favorite poem must be appended to his obitu-
ary or the editor is an unfeeling barbarian, not fit to as-
sociate with genteel human beings.
“Persons whose names appear in the court news usual-
ly fall into two classes - those who were badly mistreat-
ed by the law, and those who admit guilt but want to pro-
tect dear old mother who has a bad heart, or the grand-
children in school, or the minister from embarrassment,
has led people to offer us bribes, threaten us with may-
hem and check the possibility of filing a libel suit. We
have often pointed out that we don’t make the news, we
just print it. All anyone needs do to keep his name out
of the court news is to stay out of court.
“Other ways to incur the wrath of readers are: Dis-
agree with them on a school issue; misspell their name;
give another church more space than you do their church;
refuse to print an item so old it has long since ceased to
be news; decline to work at night on a rush printing job
for someone who would have ordered it out of town to be-
gin with had he not been in a hurry; suggest on the fourth
or fifth statement that you would like to be paid; decline
to print all the personal letters, magazine articles and
other material people bring in; get poor reproduction of a
poor picture, etc., etc., etc.
“We sometimes think what really irritates readers is
the crusty old editor’s steadfast refusal to drop dead.
That seems to be the only way to please a big majority
at one time.’*

ARE YOU BEING ROBBED
BY A PROFIT STEALER?
Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
It has indeed been my pri-
vilege to represent the city
of Panhandle in the recent
events which publicised the
fact that we have a fine city
with such wonderful organi-
zations.
The Lions Club started
me pn my adventure by spon-
soring a local contest which
in turn made it possible for
me to be in a most memor-
able contest in Amarillo. I
would like to thank each
Lion from the bottom of my
heart.
The Panhandle Herald then
sponsored me in the “Miss
World” contest summer the
most memorable and exciting
one of my life.
It would be an honor to
know our city will keep up
the good work so another girl
may have the opportunity to
experience an exciting sum-
mer as I did this year.

It's an old story . . . but proof-positive—year-old tractors,
in some- cases, are robbing their owners blind.
Authoritative tests, conducted by impartial engineers at
the University of Nebraska, proved every tractor loses power
during a year's work on the farm. Furthermore, some tractors
lose as much as 20 per cent in power. And in most cases,
their farmer~owners were not aware of this power loss.
Such loss means more hours tg> do the same job . . . not to
mention extra gallons of fuel wasted.
The skilled mechanics in our shop can rejuvenate your
tractor quickly . . . efficiently; they'll do only the work that's
necessary; do it quickly . . . with a minimum of delay ... at
the lowest possible cost. Why throw away those profits? Come
in this week and let's talk over your service needsl
