Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1942. Officers Say Camp Publi cations Do Fine Work- Old Rules Are Revised, Br John Groer (Wide World Feature Writer) Washington When Pvt. Joe Anybody Joins the Army, he keeps one civilian trait ne still likes to see his name in print. Four hundred Army news papers ranging from typewrit ten handbills to ambitious Jour nals edited by ex-professionals are keeping Pvt. Anybody and his 2,000.000 comrades post ed on the goings-on In their mil itary "home towns." Morale officers say the camp newspapers are doing a whale of a Job keeping the soldiery perked up. A rookie begins to throw off his Initial homesick ness when he begins to read about his own company or his 1 own regiment. Then he's part of something real. It's like see ing the name of his old firm or his old college. From then on, they're regular readers of the csmp paper, and better soldiers. There's a squawk If any outfit is missed in distribution of the sheet. Putting out a camp news paper is a Job to make a civilian publisher go quietly nuts. The ordinary problems of publishing are multiplied manyfold. The Fort Meade "Post" is a typical camp paper, under the supervi sion of Ma J. Francis E. Lutz. Here are some of the prob lems Ma). Lutz recalls the "Post" has had to take in stride. I First, the old "who, what, where, when" basis of Journal ism must be revised and pruned ; "Who" and "what" are all right sometimes, but "where" and "when" are out most of the time. Pvt. Anybody might send a copy of the camp paper home, and proud Ma Anybody would probably show it to Mrs. Back fence, who'd tell it to her bridge club. That means the where abouts of the Upteenth division ; on such-and-such a date could ' become common talk In Berlin Getting news from the brass hats Is tougher in tu. Army, too In civilian life, a reporter can sit on the edge of the mayor's desk and say, in effect, "Listen, Fatty, what gives?" Corporal Reporter can't do that to a camp "mayor," in all probability a major general who's more than somewhat touchy about his rank. ' The staffs of most comp news papers are enlisted men, with oficers in very remote control. They operate on the wise as sumption that men in the ranks can write the stuff that other men in the ranks want to read. On the "Post," there are four enlisted man reporters, who ro tate as managing editors, and a photographer. They're "leg men" In a very real sense. The Army doesn't furnish cars or taxis for soldier reporters. They hoof from one end of the cantonment to the other. Even during maneuvers in the field, when they perform ed regular duties the "Post" staff didn't miss an edition hut they had to commandeer a hearse to rush It 300 miles for distribution once. Keeping a staff together Is one of the tough problems of army publishing. The "Post" has graduated half a doren to officer training schools. Others get sudden orders to move to that "where" that can't be men tioned. Picture the dilemma of a managing editor, Just before press time, with half his staff ordered one way and most of his subscribers entraining an other. "X" Division originally was stationed at Fort Meade. It's gone "somewhere" for advanced training. However, the "Post" still remains Its "home town" newspaper, and goes to the men regularly every week. "Y" Di vision is training at Meade now. so the paper contains news both for its "alumni" group and its "undergraduates" stiU In train ing there. The ' number of papers sent home zooms up when promotion lists are printed. That's when the most names appear. Pvt. Anybody is Just like everybody else he gets a kick out of see ing hi name in the paper, and wants his folks to see it too. He: U per cent, 11.03; 13 ptr cent. 1.07. Todays ew receipts: Wheat.
