During the months of April and

dressing rooms on the second floor
of the Masonic Temple has fallen

NOMINATION:
This corners nomination for the
honor of being one of the ablest or-
ganization publicity chairmen in
Bellefonte is Mrs. W. Leslie Thomas,
who is in charge of publicity
several units of the Bellefonte
Woman's Club. Mrs. Thomas meets
requirements al] newspapermen like
in reporters—she ‘phones the infor-
mation in early: is careful to men-
tion names of persons active in club
meetings, and keeps her reports brief
and to the point. We'd like to see
active publicity chairmen in all local
organizations. No newspaper staff is
large enough to cover all meetings
and activities in the town, and an
active publicity chairman in each
organization is almost positive in-
surance the organization will recejve
the newspaper space it deserves and
is entitled to. We have a suspicion
that many organization publicity
chairmen have the firm conviction
that newspaper offices are places in-
habited by dragons, Ogres, and were.
wolves. Because we never see them
or hear from them
