IORINNE COMMENTS By Marijane Morns One of the "responsibilities of writing a column of this kind is trying to decide what to put in it and what to leave out. Its knowing a good piece of news and then not being able to print it, because, you see, there are ethics in newspaper writing, too. The ethics come about by apknowing your community, preciating it and the people. , . man came into the store last week. I had never seen him before, but he soon made it evident that he had come to see Corinne and having done so was disappointed. He said he had heard about it all his life and read about it equally as long. For bis satisfaction he was in the wrong era. I couldnt furnish him, with any gun slingin men or saloons or rip, roarin excitement, but I did suggest that what met his eye on the surface wasnt the real Corinne. How does one explain community spirit that is strong and supporting even though it comes from four different religions? How does one explain that something interesting and very often exciting goes on all the time, I didnt try. . . . Evelyn Anderson had a birthday, on Christmas day no less, and above 1948.
