Wanek, who works out of the

education, stated that in ad
dition to sponsoring homemak

the public school, the depart

program for adults.
In the large cities this pro
gram often includes intensive
study courses in a wide vari
ety of interests to both men
and women in the field of
family relationships and in the
field of skills to make home
more “homelike.”
In the rural areas, however,
due to the lack of instructors,
the courses are largely limit
ed to training in skills for
helping the women to be bet
ter homemakers, she explain
ed.
Miss Wanek termed Ewing’s
course a “distinct success.”

Stroller Comments
on Sad Incident
By A. STROLLER
Having been engaged in the
publishing business for many
years and having often
thought about the influence of
newspapers, the writer was es
pecially impressed by a recent
incident.
He refers to the publication
on the front page of the Ari
zona Republic one day of the
human interest story in regard
to the little boy who was bad-;
ly burned. The story was ac
companied by a picture show-1
ing the boy wtih his face cov- |
ered with burns' and his anx- j
ious mother bending over him.
The story went on to say that
the lad’s burns were of such a
serious nature that constant
blood transfusions were neces
sary and that the parents’
funds' had become exhausted.
No special appeal for donors
was made, but the next day’s
issue of The Republic stated
that ample offers of blood had
been made to save the boy’s
life. There was also a picture
of some of the donors.
National Newspaper Week
has recently been observed
and it occurred to the writer
that this pathetic incident il
lustrated the influence of
the press at its best.
The supercilious comment is
sometimes made that the press
has become "commercialized,”
whatever that may mean.
It is true that a newspaper
is a business that has its fi
nancial side the same as any
other business and why
*
shouldn’t it have? Newspaper
people have to live and pay
their bills the same as other
people, but the press still leads
in humanitarian effort.
Convincing proof o f that
statement is afforded by the
incident of the poor, little boy
who was so terribly burned.
(Next week: Winter Lawns
in Phoenix.)
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Melena
spent Sunday in Verdel visit
ing Mrs. C. Kreycik and son,
Otto.
