THURSTON, Asuociate Editoi It Happens To All The trials ami trii/ulatioiis of ntw.s- papers in attempting; to give the reading public a good news service is sometimes very great, and the grief lonnecled thereto wa^ amply demon- strated recently when the Dundalk Herald gave out a hot news story which actually took place ten years ago. It shows that an editor just cannot take every rumour that conie.s along out of which to make a story but should endeavor to make sure of ilji authenticity. However, our sympathies are with Editor Mclnlyrc and while his face i-s still red over the affair, we will not give him a panning an he expects. Our own of- fice had a similar experience when it published a clipping from the Maik- dale Standard of a wedding which took place between a i)rominent farm- er and a I'riceville lady. The wed- ding took place sure enough, but 25 year.f .before. It is the unexpected which happens in a newsimper office that makes the work interesting and glamorous.
