Anthony will conduct a series of five public relations classes at the YWCA beginning November 16 the editor of these pages felt a load lifted from her tired shoulders. For years we have been trying to teach both newly appointed and seasoned club: publicity chairmen a lew simple but steadfast rules. We think Mrs. Anthony will go far ther, and will teach the reason behind these rules. Each organization In the dry expecting publicity, both men and women, should enroll in the classes, for which there is a very small fee. Some organizations, fearing that the class es may be limited, have already, enrolled. . r Many, publicity chairmen doja fine job, bringing in read able copy, promptly. But many more take it as an unpleasant task, and the editor go hang. This will be a break for the ed itors. Let's look at the subjects chosen by Mrs. Anthony for dis cussion during the five classes. "Perosnality of publicity committees." Certainly of para mount Importance toward gaining the goodwill of the news-, papers. "Types of projects to publicize." Herein lies the second most important part of club publicity. Knowing what is of gen eral interest, and weeding out the business which concerns only club members. y "Reporters are people." The teacher will impress her pu pils that newspaper people have deadlines to make, meals to eat and btherwork to do than rewriting club stories. "Preparation of news stories." This should be a valuable discussion for there may be only a few slips between a good and "a poor story. "Don'ts in publicity." And this in itself is one, no negative suggestion please, but there are many items to cover here. "Golden rule applied to public relations." Mrs. Anthony wilf say that chairmen should put themselves in the readers as well as the editor's place. Publicity is likely to be good when this i3 successfully done. ' ' Mrs. Anthony promises other subjects for ; discussion, in cluding the technique of radio publicity and script writing. - ' Not only is Mrs. Anthony to be thanked, but the YWCA as , welL for this is g, public service feature of that organization which daily becomes a more important factor in the life of the city. - Married in Portland . . . .
