Newspaper Personnel
Changes Little
The personnel at Rappahannock News has changed little in the first two years of the newspaper’s short .life. Two of the original four are out of the county; two workers since have gone to other work in tne county; two new workers) have just started getting mixed up in printer’s ink; and two of the original four are still alive and kicKing on Idle job.
The original four, who put out Volume l, iNO. 1 of Rappahannock News, back in November, J.SM9, were Bruce Bowie, Lucy Catherine Bowie, John M. (jack) Barber, Jr. and lVixss Pnyllis Verner. Jack Barber answered the call of Uncle 'Sam into the Air 'Force in June, 1951, and Miss Phyllis Verner accepted a position at a nursing home in Dunn Loring in September, 1950.
Mrs. Arthur Miller worked as news-nound in the place of Miss Verner for 13 months, from August, i960, to September, 1951, when sbe left to run a business of “her own, the Opportunity Shop, in Washington.
R. L. (Bobby) Massie, Jr., worked as printer’s devil during the summer of 1951, after Jack Barber went into the air force. The opening of school gave Bobby a chance to get the ink out from under his fingernails when he left the print shop to enter the junior class at Rappahannock High School.
Mrs. Dick Miller now presides over the typewriter and babysits the telephone. She’s the newsgatherer in the office, and if the fancy term is required, she’ll answer to the tag of “society editor.”
The new printer’s devil is Miss Louise Cloud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cloud, and a graduate of Rappahannock High School of last session. Like printer’s devils, she is learning all the machinery, and getting her share of teasing. She’s sweating over the linotype and shows excellent progress. She is learning what Jack Barber meant when he used to say, “I’ve got trials, troubles, and tributaries!”
