Comprised of weekly newspap ers from all ove.- the state, the annual show is sponsored by the Ohio Newspaper Association to improve the quality of Ohio weeklies. Although mo prizes were won this year by the paper, four prizes have been awarded to the News-Times during the past ten years for excellence in different fields. Judging was on the basis of last years editions, four dates set at the end of the year by the Association, and four other is sues chosen by the publishers from their files. The review was written to of' fer constructive criticism to the paper: "The Amherst News-Times is a very lively, interesting paper, apparently doing a good job of covering its' community. 'The front page of this news paper is exceptionally newsy, well made up and features an unusual number of excellent pictures of Amherst people. The front page, in fact, approaches a metropolitan paper style with appreciable similarities. "Fine make-up, pictures and good news judgment are evidenced on every front page of the issues examined, although these unusually good points are not so noticeable on the inside pages. "We suggest that the presence of an editorial page is particlar- ly commendable and the folksy, chatty style in which the edit orial columns are written is, we have no doubt, most appealing to the paper's readers. However, the rest of the news pages are devoted almost exclusively to all kinds and varieties of social news which are displayed rather carelessly. 'Some attempt at more strin gent departmentalization of soc ial news is suggested, plus more features and if possible, the in stitution of other departments, such as homemaking, entertain ment, business and education, which would , appeal to various segments within the readership. "The newspaper's support of community projects such as the Red Cross and War Bond drives-of course is commendable. "Feature stories on the inside pages would be welcome and the presence of a large industrial fl;m in the city could certainly yield more copy on plant mews. developments and issues than are apparent in the issues exam ined. It is suggested that all the news sources available to the paper are not being fully utilized."The advertisements are note worthy for good typographical arrangement and pleasing make up generally."
