THE ECHO
OCTOBER, 1947
Minute Interviews
The first week in Oct.-
ober was observed as Nat
ional Newspaper Week. In
connection with this, the
Minute Interview question
for October is “ What
section or page of the
daily newspaper do you
read first?”
^JEAN HALL, FINISHING
“After briefly scanning the headlines, I turn to the sports page. Not
that I’m such a fan for the major teams, but I love sports and I’m al
ways anxious to see how the local teams make out. Then, by checking
the scores of the major teams, I can sorta figure how my friends are
making out on their little friendly bets. I think a good football write
up is even more interesting than ‘Lil Abner’.”
ALEX DURIS,
MAIN OFFICE
“My favorite section and the one
I read first, is the editorial sec
tion. It is here that one can “feel”
the pulse which forms public opin
ion, and subsequently, nation'al,
state and local policies. Next, I
read general news, followed by spe
cial features, book reviews, sports
pages, and last, the comics.”
FRED WHITMIRE,
FIBRE WAREHOUSE
“I read the front page first be
cause it contains all the headline
news, and I buy the paper for
news and not sports or comics.
After the front page, I then go
through the paper, picking out
stories of unusual happenings, for
at times these prove to be very
interesting.”
FLORENCE GILLESPIE,
CHAMPAGNE
“Usually, when I pick up the
daily paper, I scan the headlines
and front pages. From there, I go
to the comics, especially Lil Ab
ner. Finally, I end up with the ad’
vertisements—and oh, yes, by all
means the crossword puzzle, if it
happens to be an easy one.”
CATHERINE DILLS,
ENDLESS BELT
“There are two sections holding
lop honors as my favorites—the
editorial page and the comic page.
I like to read other people’s opin
ions about world and community
conditions and what they think
should be done. Then, top it off
v/ith the lighter side of life—the
comics!”
