FIFTY YEARS OF WORK FOR NEWSPAPERS
MR. O. WALLACE LOOKS BACK Mr. O. Wallace, of the "Wanganui Chronicle” staff, is looking back on 50 years’ service with newspapers. He began when a lad of 13 on the Wanganui Herald, and was taught the trade of a compositor by the late Mr. F. Webb Jones and Mr. Dan Jones. The Herald in those days was under the management of the late Hon. Johq Ballance. Mr. Wallace was with the Herald for 21 years. For nine years he was an operator on the Hawera Star, and for the last 19 years he has been on the staff of the “Chronicle.” He was also on the staff of the Christchurch Press for a year. Great improvements have been made since he began newspaper work, and he said yesterday, in an interview, that many fine men had been through the news rooms of the “Chronicle” and Herald.
