tricks," and you'll get a slight idea of
what your CCC Publicitor is going
through trying to adjust not only to a
complete new style of producing the
paper, but also getting used to new
features, columns, writers and what
have you.

What will the new
NEWS really be like?
Page One mock-up example gives
you an idea of what will prove to be a
most exciting, interesting and informative brand new community service
weekly.
Accompanying the "New Look"
CCC NEWS will be a bevy of new
personnel and contributors without
abandoning the best of the old style to
which CCC reader-subscribers have
become accustomed over the past 13
For instance, in 1941-42, there was
THE EVANSTON NEWSETTE,
"Voice of the Community," a mimeographed weekly. Uncle Sam interrupted that operation with a "greeting"
that called Editor Melvin S. Smith
Into Army service through 1945. Then,
in 1946, came the reestablished, tab1
lold-slied EVANSTON NEWSETTE

1950,  when  econoi

in Evanston; or previously have lived
in Evanston for at least a year.
Sponsor of the pageant is the Living
Color Club of Evanston, whose Presi-
stantly has undergone what may
called "change," but as the old adage
says, "The more things change, the
more they remain the same. * •" '-

Down in the lower right corner of
this issue you'll get a glimpse of the
proposed additions to what once was
the very comfortable, half-printed,
half-mimeographed one-man "show."

format, and we'll bend every effort to

Come on board and support our
community's needs through the CCC.
Since the early 1900's, so many
thousands of members of our Community Family were graduated from,
or attended Foster School that, if each
of them or their offspring, through
CCC, contributed just $25 in their honor or memory, the building could be
retained as a landmark and cultural
heritage—a renovated center for community involvement.
With Family Focus-Our Place initiating the restoration of Foster
School, let's all pledge to "Relight the
Lights of Foster." By joining this
great campaign, former Fosterite
contributors will be recognized by
having their pictures placed on the
"Foster Hair of F3me" walls,
acknowledging   that,  whatever  their
present status, proudly they are former Foster School students.
CCC NEWS will move into the building soon to become a tenant occupying office space, and eventually, an
area  to   house  printing   machinery.
