Jan. 24.—(@)— Careful consideration of every detail which makes a newspaper interesting | to its readers occupied the time of| ™members of the North Dakota Press association convention here today.- Six publishers from various parts of the state participated in a symposium in which each reviewed in detail some phase of the business. G. D. Colcord, Minot, summed up “the evidence” as Presented by his colleagues. Those participating in the sym- Pposium and the subjects assigned to them were: E. D. Lum, Wahepton, “Cooperation in Securing Community mews;” H. R. S. Diesem, La Moure. “What the reader Wants in His Home Newspaper;” C. J. Carlson, Watford ‘City, “The Best News Sources of the) Country Town;” Fred Roble, Gran- ville, “Newspaper Features That Pull; Reinhart Gilbertson, Glenburne, {The Newspaper As a Public Service Institution;” L. A. Stefonowicz, La- kota, “What Is News to the Reader of the Country Weekly.” Want News in Own Way Lum said the readers of most week- ly newspapers want the news told to them in a way with which they are familiar and doubted if ‘highly trained journalist would write rural correspondence in a way that would Please the people as does the news news sent in by the rural correspond- ents who are on the ground and in intimate touch with the folks about ‘whom the write. - It is the intimate touch, Lum said, which promotes cooperation in obtain- ‘ing Community news. Pointing out that a newspaper is “not a God-sent instrument of tor- ture or punishment,” he said he has ‘asked his correspondents to see that everyone in their communites has "an qual news opportunity” and that if anyone in the community is unfriend- ly to the correspondent or to the mewspaper, care must be taken to see that-he is treated fairly. Correspond- ents also are warned to see that each ‘Church. in the community has the me Amount of consideration. nities Eager For Home News is friea, Lum said, is to maintain nfriendly attitude toward the corre- idents and the community at : He said that people, when| tHey know a newspaper appreciates help in getting the news, always arc willing to cooperate.

Lum said it is surprising the amount of news which can be de- veloped from pastors.

Old, gray- haired men are just as interested in small personal items as the flapper, Diesem said, and the newspaper must have them if it is to serve its com- munity. “the arrivals and departures of local citizens; visitor items, births, social parties, school notes, railroad time- table changes, local weather reports, sizable painting and decorating jobs, church suppers and notices, lodge elections and similar items.” Agricultural News Important ‘News of bigger events, such as mur- ders, suicides, accidental deaths, fires and robberies should be handled fully and accurately, Diesem said. Authentic market news and infor- mation of special interest to farmers should be stressed in North Dakota, he said, because it is an agricultural | state. Carlson urged his hearers to list! their sources of information and adopt a systematic plan for getting news. The kind of town has some- | thing to do with news sources, he said, and divided the small towns of | the state into two classes, the county- seat and non-county-seat places. The non-county-seat editor must restrict his activities to his own local community, Carlson said, and should give particular attention to schools, clubs, ladies aid societies, amusement offerings and the small, personal items which help people to learn about cach other. The departure of one is real news. All Like to See Names | The county-seat publisher, Carlson | said, must supply the news of the county as well as his community. County officials, he said, like to see their names print and are good news sources. The best of these are the sheriff, auditog, state's attorney, superintenden} of schools and sur. veyor. The probate judge also is oc- casionally fruitful. For persons who honestly shy at giving out news, Carlson recommend- ed the “gentle art of conversation” on the theory that a notebook scares such persons and they will not tell anything to @ newspaperman whose Pencil and notebook are too much in evidence. Roble pointed out that “home” f tures are best since they enlist read- i by @ motor car. The chicken, which no one seemed to own, picked a liv- ing by pulling bugs and grasshoppers out of the radiators of automobiles on the main street, Roble said. The story which served as the chicken’s readers were very appreciative to him for lightening their burdens with a good laugh, Roble said. Stefnowicz said the fact that peo- doesn't dull their appetite to read says about it, particularly if the oc- currence is of some importance. He also stressed the value of local news and county correspondence, cessful until he has learned to view events from the standpoint of his Le it fe “pressure area in centered ir itheastern Manitob: tation occurred over immedi: ressure area, rally fair weather, is the northern y .
