newspaper has its share of tliese problems in common with every other business you may not like them and we may not get any en joyment out of them hut we both know they are necessary under present day conditions and an all- out war effort what newspaper rationing means we are permitted sufliciciil newsprint to pro vide one copy of each issue of this publication to paid subscribers only that means subscribers paid iii advance a subscription three months in arrears must he discontinued our mailing lists have dur ing the past few weeks greatly increased and we wel come these new subscribers tltiieims however that provision will have to be made for these new sub scribers to he served in the past vc have been perhaps a little too lenient with some old subscribers and continued to send the paper past the due dale knowing they would pay the account in due course we are indeed pleased to say thai in most eases our confidence was not misplaced and the account has been met but now we have strict newspaper rationing and the old order has changed starting january 1st we will discontinue the paper to every subs criber who is not paid in advance and place the ac count for arrears lor collection this policy will be rigidly followed in the future we do not want to interrupt the regular visits of the home paper and we ask your cooperation in maintaining these reg ular visits look at your label a shortage of help does not permit us to send out accounts to all subscribers and the procedure seems unnecessary anyway since the date on your label every week gives you your account regularly during december many subscriptions expire if your label reads december 43 or any date prior to that it requires your attention before the end of the month may we have your cooperation in
