student scholarship The Rotary Club of Delta will continue to fund a scholarship exchange students started by one of its members who recently moved away Barbara Faigle moved to Layton in January to continue her career in social work when her contract with IHC in Delta expired Faigle was a member of the Delta Rotary Before she left she made a $100 donation to the club to establish a scholarship fund for exchange students attending Delta High School First recipient of the fund is Vanessa a DHS student from Brazil Lopes The Delta Rotary established in 1982 has sponsored an exchange student at DHS for the past three years The students rotate stays in three or four homes of members during their school- - The visit to America The scholarship will be given to the exchange student to help defray expenses encountered in the life of any high school student “They are given a monthly expense allowance that will be met from this fund” Rotarian Warren Fikejs said The club will continue funding the scholarship through its activities he said many “We will be generating other funds to add to the account so that every year we can have an exchange student from anywhere in the world” Purpose of the exchange student program is “to foster better relations between the countries they come from and our community" Fikejs said O O watchdog: Utah Press Association By Pattle M Johnson The faces of advertising marketing and public relations have undergone a number of changes during this century they have seen the advent of radio outdoor advertising and direct mail They have had to learn about each of these mediums - their strengths and their weaknesses But one form of mass communication has been with the state's advertising professionals since Utah’s inception: the newspaper Ihah was still a territory of the United Stales in December 1893 when 11 publishers of the area's approximately 45 newspapers gathered in the town of Lchi An association was suggested according to an 893 article in the Davis County Clipper with the goal of being “a trade affiliation of editors who aimed to better Utah journalism protect its interests secure information and enjoy journalistic comradely" This concept gave voice to a growing feeling among many territorial editors of the need for a closer united effort at legislation and of a forum for exchanging knowledge Many of the newspaper publishers were former cattlemen and farmers who were new to journalism and had little experience in printing and newsgathering With these goals in mind the Territorial Press Association was formed in January of 1894 Its first board of directors was elected with care taken for equal representation of the “city and country" publishers When Utah became a state in 1896 the name was changed to the Utah State Press Association and later shortened to its current title of the Utah Press Association - the oldest trade association in the state One of the major goals of the Utah Press Association or the “UPA” has always been the protection of the First Amendment to the Constitution Freedom of the press has been challenged many times through the years andy each time the UPA went to battle for the public’s right to know The agenda of the 1895 annual meeting included a “revision of the libel laws of the territory to prevent irresponsible persons from holding up a newspaper for thousands of dollars just because it tells the truth about them" and “the discussion of matters of great interest relating to legal notices and advertisements and the laws pertaining thereto" Today in addition to providing news and advertisements a town’s local newspaper serves as a watchdog over government ensuring the right of public notice for its citizens To attain its goal of "bettering Utah journalism" the Association has held countless workshops and seminars throughout the years focusing on editorial quality This effort has been supConported by the Better Newspaper test held annually for 40 years The Press Association has seen its members through a literal revolution in the printt type of ing process from the the 1800’s to the computer assisted layouts of today The UPA has been an active affiliate of the National Newspaper Association since its beginning in the 1800's Currently Susan Dutson publisher of the Millard County Chronicle Progress in Delta serves on the board of directors of this national organization The Chronicle also boasts two publishers who served as Utah Press Association Presidents Frank S Beckwith in 1942 and his daughter Susan B Dutson who served in 1982 Frank A Beckwith and Frank S Beckwith have also been placed in the UPA Hall of Fame The display is at the State Capitol Former Progress publisher William V Wilson also served as UPA president and received the John E Jones Award Jane Wilson publisher of the Progress for 50 years received the Master Editor and Publisher award from Utah Press Association The foundation for today’s Utah Press Association was formed in 1941 when the decision was made to hire a representative to sell advertising for the UPA member newspapers A central office was established in the Western Newspaper Union Building now known as Western Paper Company in 1942 That same year the first Utah newspaper directory and rate book was published In 1950 the current system of "one order - one bill - one check" beg an thus easing the job of statewide media buying The UPA's clipping bureau perhaps its most component also began in 1950 What started as a “read and clip" operation with only 5 clients has grown into a bureau Each week thousands of articles are read clipped and tagged by 5 staff members and mailed to over 30 clients from across the country Currently the Utah Press Association is spearheading a statewide campaign which highlights the advantages of newspaper advertising All new in the state both dailies and weeklies have been invited to participate in the project Each weekly advertisement begins with a powerful headline such as "This newspaper ad is brought to you without commercial interruption" or "Honest more folks feel that newspaper is the most believable medium" The early results are encouraging - after only three weeks several newspapers have already reported an increase in advertising Just as the state of Utah has changed since its formation so too has its Press Association Through five wars and two major depressions the newspapers have watched government officials come and go They have seen the trends in advertising change time and time again and have struggled to maintain their existence as the economy of Utah rises and falls But through it all the Utah Press Association has been a vital part of this state and w ill continue to be so well past UPA's centennial celebration in 1993 n ll T I here has to be an explanation Adults are reading the newspaper regularly What could we all be looking for? In a nutshell we’re seeking information of a thousand different types We’re searching for facts figures details people places And prices It should come as no surprise that people read the newspaper for the latest prices And they trust and rely on it as the best source for the most current price information When people turn to their paper they turn there with interest Which where that’s means your advertising message needs to be With all the choices available it’s deciding how best to advertise your business But everything becomes a little simpler when you remember one rule difficult n |
