When the postmen go on strike some businesses are hurt worse than others and weekly newspapers are, unfortunately for us, among the former group. So if in the next few days you are walking down Albert Street and hear wails of anguish coming from number 56, you'll know the strike is a reality. This may be the last time some of our out-of-town readers get a chance to see the News-Record for a while so we hope you enjoy this one. We'll save up your issues and mail them out when the strike is over. Those of our subscribers who normally pick up their paper at the post office, will be able to get it by coming to the News-Record office, if we haven't all cut our throats by then. For those of you in outlying areas, we haven't yet worked out a solution but we are trying, and we'll do our best to see that you get the paper strike or no strike. We ask our correspondents to drop their news off at the office if possible. Call us if this is not possible. To everyone involved, please bear with us. Technical difficulties are beyond our control. • * * ...Don Jefferson, Loan Officer at Clinton Community Credit Shee'eSSfilltY completed the third year of the course held for credit union personnel at the University of Guelph.
