New Publisher Assumes Control
Of Wolcott Lake Shore News

This issue marks the first one under the editorship of the new publisher, Horace Greeley Howard, who took over the Lake Shore News last Friday.

The style and size of the newspaper has been changed, the reading type is slightly larger to make reading easier, and complete new headline type of modern design is now used. The addition of other types and features will be made from time to time.

Mr. Howard is a native of Rochester, N.Y., the son of Clinton N. Howard of Washington, D.C., nationally known lecturer and reformer. He is a graduate of Colgate University and the School of Journalism, Columbia University. Prior to becoming owner eight years ago of the Newark Courier-Gazette, which he still publishes, he was a reporter on the former Rochester Evening Journal.

The former publisher of the News, Mrs. Roe L. Hendrick, is retiring with the good wishes and high esteem of a host of friends and admirers gained in a long life of public service. Before retiring as a teacher in 1932, she taught 8 years in nearby rural schools and 30 more years at Wolcott High School. Since that time she has continued to serve the public through the Lake Shore News, with her husband until his death in 1939, and as sole proprietor since.

Wolcott Editors

Horace G. Howard extends best wishes for a well-earned rest to Mrs. Roe L. Hendrick, who retired last week as publisher of the Lake Shore News, and receives best wishes in return for success of the News under his ownership.
