But that does not mean that we , are able to handle all the news of the week on the last two days. It takes a week to set the paper. It takes our linotype, busily going, all week to set the paper. Events that happen on Friday and Saturday should be in the printers' hands the same or following day. We are uc- naY crowded ith material the last two days, Y. 'Vhen it comes to the last, the hot news has 10 receive first attention and the news reports by press secre- taries and correspondents which were sent in several days after the events happened, necessariy go to the waste basket. We would say to the press secre- taries of various church societies and service clubs, that if thy wish to see their copy in the paper, they should send it in promptly and give the printers a chance. Such co-operation is good all round and helps to avoid misunderstanding. Thank you. We did not write the above ar- ticle. We copied it from. the St. Marys Journal -Argus and we believe it will apply to most weekly news- papers: Bridal Couple Honored By Shakespeare Friends Between three and four hunched people 'gathered at the McGillawee homestead in North Easthope last Thursday night to do honor to the newly-weds, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mc- Gillawee, A platform was'` arranged on. the lawn in front of the large atone house and t h e bridal Couple were conducted to it.
