The Advertiser 25 May 1936 DEATH OF NOTABLE JOURNALIST Late Mr. A. H. Young Half A Century With "The Advertiser" It is with profound regret we record the death of Mr. Alfred Howard Young, which occurred yesterday at his home at Victoria avenue, Rose Park. Mr.Young, who was in his 72nd year, had been connected with "The Advertiser" for more than half a century; and for the greater part of that time, had been an increasingly valuable member of the editorial staff, specialising in foreign politics. His resolute modesty and consistent reserve prevented his being widely known outside the journalistic profession: but to his friends end colleagues, who knew his exceptional capacity as a writer, and enjoyed the privilege of his friendship, his death is a grievous loss, as it is also, of course, to "The Advertiser" as a newspaper. Mr. Young came to South Australia with his mother at an early age; but be had clear and lively recollections of his childhood in the Old Country: and when, a few years ago, with his wife, he visited England, he was greatly interested in the changes be observed in his former home town, the now important city of Brighton. In Adelaide, he was educated at Prince Alfred College. He entered the commercial department of "The Advertiser" as a clerk more than 50 years ago; and, although only a youth, speedily gave indications of the literary talent which before long led to his transfer to the editorial department. Very modestly, he had submitted to the then editor several leading articles showing so broad and firm a grasp of tbe subjects dealt with, and written in a manner so attractive, that they were promptly published. One, in which he adduced arguments in favor of the Abolition of Oaths Bill, introduced by Mr. (afterwards Sir Josiah) Symon, in tbe House of Assembly, was quoted by that gentle man when he moved the second reading of the measure. From the first, Mr. Young was deeply interested in British and foreign affairs, and for many years acted as the Foreign Editor of "The Advertiser," combining with that office the writing of leading articles and reviews of books. He had no taste for sports, was never happier than when at work, and spent the greater part of his leisure in reading. As the years went by, be steadily accumulated a mass of knowledge, on which he brought to bear a remarkable capacity for studious reflection; so that he became, in his chosen field, one of the best informed and most authoritative journalists in Australia. He commanded a style of quite exceptional brilliance; and many of the finest leaders appearing in "The Advertiser" during half a century, on European politics and social and literary topics, were from his singularly facile pen. He was far from being unconcerned in South Australian affairs; and, though he did not often write on State or Federal party politics, there were few other subjects of local importance on which he was not occa sionally a contributor to the leading columns. He had by no means a single-track mind; he was active intellectually in twenty different directions; and his versatility as a leader writer was a striking attribute. In what journalists call "middles" articles on literary, scientific, and other non-political questions—he was particularly adept. Mr. Young was temperamentally shy and averse to personal publicity. He had singularly little desire to attract notice to himself as the author of the splendid work he was doing year after year; but to the high opinion his colleagues and the management had of his abilities, his friends and intimates added warm appreciation of his estimable character as a man. He did not wear his heart upon his sleeve; but his disposition was essentially lovable: and those who knew him respected him for his transparent integ rity, his sincere devotion to the cause of social justice, and his kind-heartedness and helpfulness when he had the opportunity and the means of doing others a good turn. Mr. Young's widow (nee Forster), as Mrs. Jeanne F Young, is well-known to political circles as the able and in defatigable leader of the movement in this State for proportional representation. The other members of tbe family are Mr. Lindsay Forster Young, of Sydney: Miss Freda Young, social editress of the "Sunday Sun," Sydney; Mr. R. Blake Young, chief sub-editor of the "Herald,"Melbourne; and Mr Courtney Spence Young, of Adelaide.
