SOLVING NEWS PUZZLE THIS MAN'S LIFE WQRK \ Puzzles have always held a pow erful attraction for the human mind The riddle of the Sphinx, the .. un solved mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask, and the perplexing pro blem of the t Marie Celeste, that the iTamoua ahip found full-rigged and in perfect condition in mid-ocean, but without a living soul aboard her all theae have intrigued men's minds . for generations. Some puxslea, however, ( grow tiresome. Take tha^ never ending maze of fact and fancy, statement and contradiction, which make up ' the aay's news. Here ia a puzzle involving all of ua. The aolution ia never In sight yet at times seems to be over the next hill. We read and wonder what is true and whet is falae. As things become comp':i- | cated and loose ends are losi in t! ?. < rush, the puzzle werles us. Not so, however with Edward W. Pickard, our staff editor, whoae tru ining both in this country and abro- 1 ad has given him the ability and insight to keep track of these looae > ends, to fathom into the depths for truth in the great onrush of world happening, and to present his find ings to The Newa readers in his News Review of Current Events. 1 Pursuit .of thia puzzle is his 'busi ness, "Material -from which he writ es his articles - comes from no one 1 source but from every aide.

Read it today and see if you agree with us, V SKIMMING THE DROSS FROM THE WEEK'S NEWS First news of the Japanese earth quake estimated an approximate money loss of 1100,000,000. Later reports boosted this figure to at least ten billions. After reliable figures were gathered the Japanese foreign office estimated the loss at $988,000,000. This uncertainty in news is mosj apparent when disasters occur, First reports seldom are correct, the facts either are exaggerated or underesti mated. In some cases the truth re mains obscured for days or weeks. Reports of less sensational news often fluctuate in a similar manner. Statement made one day are contra dicted the next. Sometimes one small item will grow into a. story of several columns, while on the other hand a big piece of 'news may prove in a short time to have no substantial iouudation of fact. Th6 Brevard News tries to give its readers cach week this founda tion of fact in our News Review of Current Events. Written by Ed ward W. Pickard, this resume of world happenings comes to you as predigested news. Mr. Pickard is a seasoned newspaper man, writer and traveler. He is in tou<;h con stantly with most of the reliable sources of world news.
