New Deadline Notice
Church, Club and School Articles including pictures for the
Savannah Tribune must be in the office not later than 6 P- m.
Monday to be sure of publication. Articles should be written
in ink or typewritten (double spaced) on one side of the paper.
Memorials. Cards of Thanks and Ads will be accepted all
Tuesday. This change in deadline will help the publisher to
get the paper printed on time each week.
Reporters are reminded that it costs to print a newspaper.
Even word in an article requires special attention by several paid
workers. Reporters are asked to think of this before writing.
The statement that your club “transacted much business" or
that the hostess served a “delicious repast" is not considered as
news. This is for the secretary’s minutes. When and where
the club met, who were present and specific plans and activities
are considered news-worthy. Church reporters should find out
what is going to happen at the church the following Sunday or
during the coming week. Unless the happenings on the previous
Sunday are unusual this information reported every week has
little news value in promoting interest in your church.
The Savannah Tribune wants to cooperate with these report¬
ers but it is time to make improvements. Please try these sug¬
gestions in the future. For further information contact the
publisher. Thanks!

IF WE KNEW HOW
Yes, if we knew how we’d evi.n go up on the nearest hill and
send out smoke signals to be sure you get the latest news
right after it happens. But since we don’t the best we can
do is confine our efforts to giving you the type of home
town paper you can be proud of. All the local happenings,
news about friends, and national events receive full coverage.
