Show EMER SAN FORD QUITS HER NEWSPAPER JOB AFTER LOYAL SERVICE All hands will continue to throw wnatc paper everywhere except in baskets, reporters will "'drag- down" fumes of tho same brand of tobacco, tho city editor still will complain about the number of stories he 13 getting and tho reporters will have the same alibis, the windows will remain re-main grimy, tho foreman, stercotyper nnd pressman will continue to yelp about the -way the editorial force 3s running' things and tho samo odors of oil, Ink and hot metal will seep up from the mechanical department all this will go on, yet the odi-torial odi-torial rooms of Tho Standard-Examiner wllL not seem qulto tho same. Emer Sanford has renigned. After Seven Years Emer left her position yesterday afternoon after seven years of loyal service for tho Ogden Standard and later tho Standard-Examiner. Miss San ford on tho payroll was Hst.ed as proof reader. But the payroll pay-roll tells a small part of the story. She was tho society oditor and reporter, re-porter, as well. And if anybody was crowded in his or her department, she jumped in and gave that person a lift. One time when influenza had tho editor and all his staff in bed, Emer came to work one morning to find' she was the only person on tho job lA tho editorial rooms. But that made 710 difference. - She pitched right In. Tho paper came out as usual. Nobody can recall that Emer over lost her temper. She could calm irate citizens who wore offended at something tho paper had dono or did not do. She could have' half a thousand things to do at about tho same time and the telephono oould ring until everybody's nerves were on edgo, but Emer could answer tho numerous calls and go right on with her work without the least sign of nerves. "Why She's Gone We nearly forgot to tell Avhy Emer resigned. She is to be married to tho Rev. Godfrey Matthews, pastor of the First Congregational church. There is quite a romance here, for tho friendship between tho two developed de-veloped and ripened in tho editorial rooms of the Standard-Examiner when the Reverend Matthews signed up as a news writer to help tho editor edi-tor over rough spots during tho period peri-od when everybody had to handle two or moro jobs to keep things going go-ing In the war emergency. There Is very llttlo -Sentiment around a newspaper office. But when Emer said farewell yesterday to the members of tho editorial staff, the event had about as sentimental flavor fla-vor as Is permitted in tho news rooms of a dally paper. i |
