\nBob Etzweiler, patriarch of York, Pa.’s Etzweiler Funeral Home, remembers the days when funeral businesses supported next-door furniture stores and vice versa. The last such funeral home\/furniture store combo closed doors in York County in the late 1990s. (See Mount Wolf.) <\/a>Etzweiler was speaking to the York, Pa., Daily Record\/Sunday News on the 100th anniversary of his funeral home. (Read more<\/a> about how funeral services have changed over the years.

Neat stuff from all over … .<\/p>\n

\nHistorians often mine letters to the editor for the snapshot they provide of community sentiments on a given day.
\nSo, what are the mechanics of letters usage at the York Daily Record\/Sunday News and other medium-sized newspapers? (The Daily Record is in the top 20 in circulation size among the 85 newspapers in Pennsylvania.)
\nI wrote this piece on letters to the editor as a sidebar to a recent column:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A respected leader at a Pennsylvania newspaper noted at a recent conference that her publication runs about 80 percent of the letters to the editor submitted.
\nI felt pretty good about how the Daily Record\/Sunday News compares.
\nOur newspaper’s goal is to run 100 percent of submitted letters that follow our guidelines. We don’t publish maybe a few percent of letters submitted by readers in our circulation area because of libel, accuracy or taste issues. When they exceed our 300-word limit, we give writers the option to shorten them.
\nIn all cases, we attempt to communicate back to the writer. So, if you ever have a question about the status of a submitted letter, contact Scott Fisher, sfisher@ydr.com.
\nInterestingly, in a day when a sense of community is fraying a bit, our letters to the editor are increasing.
\nPerhaps that’s because people know that if they send them in, we’ll get them in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
