Chief deputy game warden Brown
Wilson points out that a number of changes in state
fish and game laws will become effective June 11,
including a variation in the license fees which
lowers the statewide permit for women to $1. The fee
for men will remain the same as previously, $3 a
year.
The district license entitling the holder to hunt and fish in
Calhoun and adjoining counties will continue to sell for $1. Any resident of the
state at the age of 60 or over shall be permitted to fish with hook and line in
any of the waters in the state without procuring or paying for a license. This
is a new provision.
Effective July 1, there will be an
extra charge of five cents on all deficient and
short paid mail, according to Grantsville postmaster
W.O. Umstead. He said that should a letter be mailed
with only a three cent stamp affixed, to which there
should be six cents, the post office will rate the
deficient postage and add an extra five cent charge.
He advised all persons to be sure and place the
proper amount of postage on all mail to avoid the
extra charge.
The Calhoun Chronicle is 100 years old.
Putting the Chronicle together each week is somewhat like
assembling a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. The main pieces of the puzzle consist of
words. Based on the present type used, it would take a minimum of 35,000 words
to fill an eight-page issue if there were no photographs or advertisements.
No one person could possibly write that many words every week.
In its 100 years, the Chronicle has depended on neighborhood reporters to send
in their reports on the doings in their parts of the county. Individuals deliver
to the newspaper office news items, personals, weddings, births, deaths, club
news, engagements, etc.
Organizations and businesses and state and federal agencies send
news releases to the newspaper every day of the week.
Advertisements are received each week from businesses in and
outside the county. There are classified ads to assemble and legal
advertisements that must be published.
Words dominate the entire process of assembling the paper and
getting it put together on layout sheets for the printer.
As much as possible, news stories and advertisements are set up
as they are submitted. Tuesday mornings are reserved for typesetting last minute
stories, making up advertisements, galloping against the clock to get everything
ready for the page makeup process which starts around noon and often goes well
into the night. The number of pages varies depending on how many advertisements
are scheduled.
There would not be a paper at all if it weren’t for the
subscribers and the advertisers and the many people who contribute material each
week.
