A full slate of courses will be offered at Layton, Davis and Clearfield High Schools, Vae View and South Weber elemntaries with special programs offered by the Parent Education Resource, Center. Writing headlines is tricky business Registration gets under way Wednesday at Layton High School. Those interested may call that day, Thursday and Monday 8 p.m. Ask for Call Harris at 6-- By TOM HARALDSEN Davis County. One of my football stories cently told of a gallant effort by a local high school team that lost, but the headline made the teams effort look like a comedy of errors. I didnt write it, but because it appeared above my story, guess who gets blamed? But thats a minor example compared to some other classics Ive read about or seen in my time. A few years ago, a national wire story appeared in a Midwest paper regarding a close loss by the basketball team at Notre Dame. I read Irish have three chances at end, blow both of them. Maybe literacy is a problem with college athletes. a A Salt Lake weekly newspaper reported just two weeks ago on the high enrollment in its school district with this gem: "Students at Record High. Where is Record High? a friend asked, Does Billy Joel serve as Dean of Students? And there are countless others, like the time a beauty queens picture appeared in one local paper just above a headline that read Dog show winners named. , But my personal favorite appeared in the first daily newspaper I worked at 10 years ago. For two days the managing editor had decided wed use a drawing of a turkey on our front page, in honor of Thanksgiving that week, and so he made a layout dummy sheet with a space reserved for that piece of art. Unfortunately, he didnt tell the page editor what the art was going to be. Sure enough, the night before publication a huge earthquake killed hundreds of people in the country of Turkey. Guess how the front page looked the next day, with Quake Kills Hundreds in Turkey sitting right next to the fat little birds drawing. No one ever said newspaper work was going to be easy. re- It happens to all of us in the newspaper business from time to time, and we usually get blamed for it, even though its seldom our fault. We spend a lot of time researching and carefully writing a story, making sure its properly e dumb edited and punctuated, and editor puts a headline on top of it that doesnt really tell readers what the story is about. Sometimes the headlines are inaccurate, or too short. Occasionally they tell too much, giving the reader all the information he needs to know. They are misleading, misspelled or leave the writer with misgivings about his or her career. To understand headlines better, one must understand how newspapers work. Generally an editor assigns a story to a reporter, who in turn hands the Finished product back to the editor. Once the story is set in type, that editor chooses how and where to put the story. The layout of the page then gives that editor some clue as to how long a headline can be. Now writing headlines is not easy. Anyone whos ever done it knows the trick is to tell the reader just enough to get him or her into the story. When I scan a newspaper, it should be the headline that either attracts me to a story Im interested in, or allows me to pass it by. The problem is that often the editor and author ot the story are seldom the same person, so the gist of the story may be lost by the editor who is writing dozens of headlines at a time and doesnt take the time to read each story carefully enough. It happens to all of us, as I said, and recently it happened to me.

Steven Roy James, son of Steven Ray James and Victoria DeLeon of Logan, has been missing since Aug. 26. Mr. James left the baby and a poodle in his car while he went into Logans Osco Drug for some spackle. Mr. James reported that he left the car window rolled down inch for ventilation. When he returned to the car, after being away less than 10 minutes, the infant and the blanket he was wrapped in were gone. The poodle was still in the car. Sunset City Chief of Police Arch Searle said he and the Sunset City department investigator met with Logan City Police, Utah State University police. Cache County deputy sheriffs and the FBI for a brainstorming session. We were under the assumption that we could assist with investigation procedures--w- e are not helping in the investigation, Chief Searle said. We were also wondering if there could be a tie between the Rachael Runyan case. Four years ago to the date that Steven Roy James was apparently kidnapped, Rachael Runyan of Sunset was kidnapped. One month after the Runyan kidnapping, the child's 1 body was found in a stream. The case was never solved. Sgt. Craig Andrews of the Logan police said the Sunset City Police offered some management tips for investigation procedures. They told us hundreds of leads would be coming in, Sgt. Andrews said. They let us know how they organized these leads, set on First priorities on which ones to follow-u- p and how to make assignments for the leads. Sgt. Andrews said the Sunset police also talked about clairvoyants and people with dreams calling about the childs whereabouts. on Chief Searles advice was to follow-u- p everything. He also offered some theories of his own, Sgt. Andrews said. Presently, the police are looking for a possible witness or suspect. A 53 to 54 woman with straight dishwater blonde hair was seen s walking away from the car. She is in her and was wearing a flowered skirt and a bright yellow blouse. She was driving a Toyota or Datsun type vehicle that was blue with light or white on top. There is a sticker in the left rear window which is from or similar to a Yosemite Park emblem. There are no new developments in the case, although Sgt. Andrews said there are some leads which are being followed. Anyone with information concerning the kidnapping of Steven Roy James can call 752-- 140 would like to publicly apologize for the treatment our seniors received on the recent trip to Las Vegas.
