(Turn to back page) Open Letter from the Publisher . DEAR F RIENDS: ; We are pleased to announce in this issue full details of a Sulsayipsion campaign which this publication is about to launch, complete particulars of which will be found on the' inside pages of this week's "Star." The primary reason for instituting the campaign at this time is to indicate our belief that the years of depression are now being succeeded by a period of welcome and long- awaited prosperity for our district and the desire to place our publication in a position to widen the service which it is endeavouring to render to the community. By placing the "Star" in homes which have been with: out it, we believe it will serve to more firmly knit together our community. Greater circulation means, of course, greater coverage for prospective advertisers who will more readily patronize a newspaper.with a wide home circulation, and additional advertising will make possible a bigger and better paper. In all friendship we ask your co-operation in this drive. Many men and women who will enter this campaign as can- didates will be our accredited representatives for its dura- tion. We bespeak for them such co-operation as you can readily give, and we thank you in anticipation of the cour- teous hearing that the people of Port Perry and vicinity are ever willing to give representatives of worthwhile en- ils THE STAR 3 STAR.
