Price 5 Cmttf ’'GOOD-BYE'... ... and 'HOWDY-DO' # By GENE ROBERTS For more than live and one-half years I have visited the readers of the Goldsboro Herald each week through the editorial and news columns. As editor and manager of the paper during this period of time, I haven't missed a single week's visit with you readers; and I have enjoyed every one of these visits. However, the time has come when I must »ay goodbye to you in order that I may en ter summer school and prepare to enter the profession of my "first love," teaching. I shall miss my associations with my many friends in Ihe Goldsboro section; but as I go, I am happy to say that The Herald will be In the hands of two fine young men who will see to It that you get a good paper, even better than that which 1 have been able to give you. , May I speak for them and say howdy do" for them to the many readers of his paper. Mr. Tom 'Cosnrwen ana dcd oumuy aro the new publishers of the Herald, ar.d I bespeak for them the same cooperation which you have given me in the past. Mr. Conroy, who will edit the paper, was bom in Philadelphia. From that city he moved to Atlantic City, N. J., and was edu cated at the High School there, at La Salle University and at the Charles Morris Price j School of Journalism in Philadelphia. In 1935 he went with the Atlantic City Daily World as sports editor. He was shortly switched to the news desk as city editor, and then to managing editor, which position he held for three years prior to resigning to come with The Herald. . ♦ Mr. Com well, a native of Lincointon, N. C.. will have charge of The Herald plant. He was educated at Lincointon and at Wake Forest College, and has worked in a num 9 ber of leading printing plants on the Atlantic Seaboard. For the past four Years he has been superintendent of the Atlantic City Dallf World plant. BacEed by thorough training and tine experience, these two young men come to Goldsboro to cast thou lots with local people and they pledge themselves to give to the people of this section a newspaper and print ing service unsurpassed In this area. Again, may I say "Goodbye for me and my family and ’howdy-do” for these two men and their families._ By BOB CONROY and TOM CORNWELL It’s going to be a mighty tough Job fill ing Gene Roberts' shoes, and if we are to do it at all, it will take both ol us to do it. Gene sort of puts us on the spot when he says we will be able to put cut a newspaper better than The Herald he has offered to you for the pa3t five and one-half years. II we try to excel hts fine work, it wouldn't surprise us in the least to find that we have bitten off more than we can chew. However, it Is our sincere intention to give you the very best we have to offer, both from an editorial and a typographical stand point. Perhaps, by glancing through thiB edi tion cf The Herald, you will notice quite a few changes made already. For instance, what do you think of the new masthead at the top of the page? And compare the headlines with any previous is sue; do they meet with with your approval? Asking those questions was not an idle gesure. After all, we're only human and we're bound to make mistakes. Perhaps you j don't approve of any changes we might make, \ and if so, we sincerely ask you Jo let us know your opinions. We OT9 coming to ooiasDoro with no > I axes, personal or otherwise, to grind. Our policies wiil be your policies, and the phy sical appearance of the paper will follow your dictates. Don't believe that? Well, just give us a call at 290, or drop around to the office (we'd like to meet all of you, anyway) and tell us what you think is right or wrong. Give us , that test and see how we respond. Sure, we'll make mistakes. That’s only ! natural. All we a3k is that you grant us a bit of indulgence, at least for a while, and spare any indictments until, ll and when we • have been tested and found wanting. We trust that day will never arrive, and it won't if it is in our power to avoid it. As publishers, that's all we have to say at the moment. Mere words mean little, If anything, anyway. This and succeeding edi tions of The Herald will tell the story, and you folks will be the fudges. Meanwhile, we join with the rest of Goldsboro in bidding a fond farewell to Gene Roberts and wishing him all the luck in the world in his new venture.
