Local Business Most local people take for granted many services which are provided for the community by the hometown newspaper The services are often expensive for the newspaper and free of charge to the groups served. The activites of civic organization, athletic events, business promotions, farm development and social affairs are good examples. Often these activities would be dismal failures without the free help of the local newspaper. Some of them owe their existence to newspaper publicity The editor of a Texas weekly dramatized this situation in a humorous corumn. He said that he figured it cost his newspaper S900 when a local girl got married. This cost was figured on the basic of type composition and space used on stories on the wedding and parties leading to the wedding. "This docs not iclude about 40 hours of tedious work on the part of the society editor telling about how beautiful and charming the honorce (sometimes as ugly as a mud fence) was in chant illy lace, black sheath, etc..." ?:v>jP?l^^ wyv-?c ??:;, ?!?..VjC '-? i _ , r r'.y i -? - ' > ?> .
