Mrs. Nye had several comments concerning the question asked by the editor, If you were the editor of either of Duchesne countys newspapers, what change would you make in the paper? Following are several excerpts taken from Mrs. Nyes detailed observations: I feel that our newspapers are almost as important to our daily lives as food, providing they reflect truth and attempt to elevate rather than destroy. I like to write of worthwhile projects rathen than undesirable things or mistakes of people, I have received much comment mostly favorable: when unfavorable, it is usually because of something omitted or misprinted, I do think it would be beneficial if special events such as P.T.A. meetings, bazaars, farewell or welcome home parties, special school activities, etc. from the smaller towns would receive a little special heading, which they do if they come from Duchesne or Roosevelt. I really believe people who read our local papers prefer to read the little homey items about people they know rather than the general interest items they have usually already seen in the daily newspapers. However, I believe a local general interest item which is often condensed in the big newspapers can be played up with interest by the local papers so that Subscribers will want to read them to see what else could be printed about a certain project, party, accident, etc. the reol-l2- S more ond more whot it meons to hove the friendship of folks like you.
