Chairman Prater Points To Unselfish Service Firemen Give Community Volunter fire-fighters from Shaver- town Fire Co. launched their annual drive for new members this week un-| der the leadership of A.

The first re- ports will be ide next Monday night at a meétifig at the hose house. In announcing the drive, Chairman Prater emphasized that property own- ers and renters in the township are not taxed for fire protection. “Under the circumstances,” he said, “I think our neighbors will be prompt to re- spond to our campaign for member- ships, as evidence of their appreciation for the protection the volunteers pro- vide to homes in the Shavertown dis- trict.” The firemen have had an especially successful year and those who join, be- sides contributing to a worthy civic group, will be affiliating themselves with an organization which has a high reputation for its enjoyable social af- fairs. After the drive is over, all new mem- bers will be invited to an “open house” at the firemen’s hall. Schedule Of Services At Shavertown Church Rev. Russell May of Shavertown M. E.

OUR CREDIT CARD PLAN [D POST SCRIPTS (Continued from Page 1) five, or six decks. On most news- papers today the tendency has been to limit the heads over all but unusually important stories to four decks at most. Recent tests indicate that most newspaper readers read no more than the first two decks of a head and that, therefore, any more than two decks is superfluous. One editor claims that surveys made by him suggest that only one reader in ten reads more than the first deck of a multiple-deck head. With that thought in mind, The Post has worked out a “style-sheet” with many effective two-deck heads that not only afford adequate display for all but unusually important stories but which also simplify the writing, setting and reading of heads. —_—— If you will look at the headlines in this issue you will see that the top lines on the larger heads begin flush at the left. That is the natural place for the eye to begin reading a line. Instead of sticking in short dashes be- tween the decks, more obstacles for the eye to hurdle, we have abandoned the dashes and used only white space to separate the decks. As a result, there are more white patches on the page—and it is in the A. B. C.’s of ty- pography that white space is pleasing to the eye. It must be obvious that we are proud of the changes we have begun this week. That feeling is qualified, how- ever, by a realization that The Post is not yet everything we expect it to MORE than 80% of insur: able property throughout the country is protected by Capital Stock Company Fire Insurance.
