Getting them out fast, in quantity and tc the papers where they’ll be used provides the headaches, calling for hectic speed along with con tinual screening for news value The pleasure comes when the pictures you’ve made break into print all over. As an example Mr. Hemmer showed a spread of his work used in the state papers Tuesday, shewing winners in the Pinehurst field trials which are under way this week. For many photographs, he said, the “home town” papers, most re sponsive to items of local news in terest, provide the best publicity media. Only the occasional pic ture is a “natural” for the big metropolitan dailies and news services, where interest dwindles sharply in the face of mass com School Teams Trim Alumni In “The Game” petition. As for the photograph of a special party or dance, no mat ter how important it is at home it doesn’t rate much anywhere else, as every place has its own-parties and dances—and their pictures don’t get in either. Double Job These were some of the lessons he had learned in a good many years as official Pinehurst pho tographer, during which his work has been a big factor in the build ing up of international fame for the resort. Known as one of the “best in the business,” Mr. Hem- mer’s technical skill along with his news sense have given him a double job, for he is also official photographer for the State News Bureau and since 1950 has been its assistant director. Theoretical ly, he works half a year for Pine hurst, half a year for the State, though actually no such sharp di viding line is drawn. In addition he operates his private studio at Pinehurst. Coming to Pinehurst in 1927, Mr. Hemmer left there to spend seven years, just before and dur ing World War 2, on the staff of. the- New York Daily News. The latter part of his talk was devoted to incidents of these perilous years, when, covering and naval affairs within a range of several states, he would take off at a moment’s notice to be Women’s Activities and Sandhills Social fvents BESSIE CAMERON SMITH, Editor TELEPHONE 2-6512 MEN WOUNDED IN KOREAN WARFARE ARE HONORED AT AFTER CHRISTMAS PARTY The boys’ and girls’ varsity teams of Southern Pines High school defeated the Alumni in a twin bill—“The Game”—at the school gymnasium Tuesday night, December 30. Both games, a holiday tradition of some years’ standing, were full of thrills and sharp action. The High School girls defeated the Alumnae girls 60-43. The Varsity boys, however, were hard pressed to defeat the big Alumni team by the close score of 62-58. The Blue and White lassies were led by Sieger Herr and Dorothy Newton.. fThe AlumnaeVline-up was sprinkled with many former star players of the school—^Betty Jane Worsham, Barbara Guin, Pete Dana, Carol Sue Humphrey, Shir ley Stuart, Barbara Page, and others.
