■Notice, Reporters
This newspaper is always glad to
have reports of parties, club meet-
ings, church notices and the like, and
we have often accepted copy on
Wednesday that should have been
turned in on Saturday, Monday or
Tuesday.
War has created a manpower
shortage in our plant, and henceforth
we are compelled to insist upon
such reports being turned in not lat-
er than 24 hours after they occur.
Following the publication of this
notice, no more late copy that could
have been turned in earlier will be
printed. We are not hard boiled,
but in this war emergency must in-
sist on reports being turned in not
later than 24 hours after the event
occurs, and on the day it occurs if
it falls on Wednesday.
