Combining words that are
worth publishing Isn't easy, and
no one knows this better than
the successful writer. One of
the notions to get rid of is the
false assumption that you'll
have smooth sailing after you
make a name for yourself In
print.
On the other hand, don't let
anyone tell you, and don't tell
yourself, that a writer has to
be well known before an editor
will consider his or her
manuscript- If your article
or story is what the editor is
looking for, and it is establish
ed you haven't resorted to
plagiarism, he will readily
accept it.
Neatness alone won't sell
your manuscript, but It may
help. Day In and day out, edi
tors receive sloppy copy from
beginning writers. Bad spell
ing and poor typing are a lux
ury you can't afford, andasure
sign that you lack the tedious
care a professional writer ad
heres to as a way of life.
Don't get mad, except may
be at yourself, when you receive
rejection slips. Editors would
rather send you a check,
since having to wade through
manuscripts that don't mea
sure up is a waste of valuable
time-
Unfortunately, most rejec
tion won't indicate just why
your article, story or poem
didn't sell. Perhaps it was
sent to the wrong market.
Study the material used in the
past by any publication you
plan to submit your work to.
However, It is more likely
that the manuscript wouldn't
be acceptable elsewhere elth-

(Contuiueu from page U
ed In the first place.
Liberal senators who in
sisted that they opposed the
Carswell nomination because
the southern Conservative alle
gedly lacked judicial distinc
tion fooled no one below the
Mason-Dixon Line-
If a distinguished record
as a judge is one of the re
quirements, why did many of
these selfsame senators ap
prove for Chief Justice of the
U. S. Supreme Court a man like
er. No matter how much you've
been praised by family and
friends, it Is doubtful that
you have sufficient talent to
succeed immediately.
You'll learn to write better
by writing more, and profiting
from failure. One final thing.
Write simply, about subjects
that are familiar. Amateur
writers like amateur actors,
are inclined to over express
themselves.
Earl Warren, who had nev
er served as any kind of a judge,
not even a Justiceof the Peace?
One of the senators who found
Judge Carswell unfit to hold
high public office was that great
respecter and upholder of the
law, Ted Kennedy. We'll have
to say one thing for the judge,
nobody revealed in his record
where he was Involved in a
girl's drowning, and senaked
away from the scene, leaving
the body for others to find
many hours later.
Thanks to thorough probing,
Carswell's life story, the
good and the bad, is an open
book. The Kennedy story, one
chapter of it, has need of fuller
telling.
ITEM: If you are planning ad
dition of a powder or mud room,
make sure the water closet you
choose is a siphon het. Not only
is it easiest to keep clean, it’s
also the quietest, an especially
desirable feature for a first-floor
facility
