It includes a 32-page Progress supplement in tabloid size, a regular 32-page News edition plus an insert. Iii fact, it was so thick that it woldn't go through our mailing mnachine so the final section had to be labelled and then assembled with t 'he rest of the paper. Usually, the entire edition is putl together and then addressed.
