A newspaper
is like a mirror and should reflect the activities and events
in the community it represents.
No matter how trivial they may

people like to keep in touch
with what is going on around
about them and depend upon
their home paper, to a large ex-
ten., for that  information.    Al
though a newspaper man is expected to be omniscient and in-
