Prize-Winning Editor

An Idaho semi-weekly newspaper, edited by Robert Woody '50, swept the field in the annual Idaho Press Association ''Better Newspaper" contest. Woody has recently gone to Salt Lake City to work in the newsroom of The Tribune, but behind him as editor of The Burley (Idaho) Herald-Bulletin he left a bevy of contest awards, including three firsts for photography, feature story and local comment column, four seconds and three thirds.

The prize-winning column, "Behind the Typewriter," had appeared under Woody's by-line for the past three years. The firstprize photograph, taken by Woody on a hunt for a feature story, shows a migrant Navajo Indian couple picking potatoes on one of the large desert farms near Burley. The picture subsequently appeared on the front page of the Publishers Auxiliary, national publication of newsmen and publishers.

While serving as editor of the HeraldBulletin, a paper of 3,000 circulation formerly owned and published by U. S. Senator Henry Dworshak, Woody was also newsman and on-the-spot reporter for Burley's Station KBAR. A tape-recorder, camera and airplane were standard equipment on his more spectacular assignments.

Woody and his wife, the former Barbara Follansbee of Norwich, Vt., have two sons, Peter and Jonathan, and a daughter, Stephanie.
