Drive For New Members Is Launched
By Shavertown Volunteer Fire Co.
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. George Prater.
Membership of the company has
been divided-into districts and work-
ers will make a house-to-house canvas
to enlist new members. 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.

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
