In father of Clifford, veteran of the | had lrd only a year‘s experience |in the printing business before he |entered the service. A little rusty because of his long absence from {the work, and with only a high school boy to help him, getting }out the regular®edition of the paper | was a strenuous undertaking. A |special edition would mean extra ,'pages and involve a prodigous amount of hard work,â€"selling the advertising to pay for the cost of | publication, writing the special |features required in such an issue, {gathering &le local news as usual, setting type for all the editorial matter and the advertisements, and finally printing the newspaper. Realizing full well what was ahead of him, Ashfield rolled up his sleeves, and to his younger assistant and himself, he said, | "Let‘s go." Day after day for |sixteen and eighteen hours at a stretch, he solicited advertising, wrote advertising copy, composed feature articles about the Grenfell Battery, secured photographs, arâ€" ‘ranged for engravings, set the adâ€" |vertisements, collected the budgets of news from neixhborin% centres, \set the news, made up the pages and at last started the press. The result was one of the finest 20â€"page special editions ever proâ€" duced by a newuparer of that size. The paper was a clean one, devoid of mistakes that often creep into a rushed job. There was artistry in m-ke«ui, especially on the front page where a banner line, "Well done 65 Battery, RC.A." and a photograph of an Antiâ€"Tank gun were printed in red. Most importâ€" ant ofpnll, in spite of the pressure under which the issue was proâ€" duced, the welcome to the homeâ€" coming boys was well and warmly expressed all the way through.
